Meet The Prof
HI, I’M SARA! I am a U.S. Navy Veteran, an avid reader, and I am currently a graduate student in an online Criminal Justice Ph.D. program!
I have experienced a wide variety of college-related struggles and issues, including the stress and weight of STUDENT LOANS!!
I wanted to create something I haven’t had thus far in my college journey: a one-stop-shop for the best ways to make money to help fellow students who are all just trying to make it to graduation and beyond! I’m excited to provide helpful tips to make your college experience just a little bit easier by adding a few EXTRA DOLLARS to your bank account!!
Join me as I discover new ways to make some extra money on the side while also working full time jobs, taking courses, keeping a family alive, and doing all the other things life requires!
I hope you enjoy engaging in this community!
What You’ll Find Here
POSTS: I will always try to write blog posts about topics that can actually help you – some will be educational, others might be entertaining… reach out if there is a topic that I have not covered that you want to know more about!
FREE APPS: A good chunk of my side hustle income has come from free apps recently. Each app I post is free to download, and many even have sign-up bonuses. These are usually survey apps, cashback apps, receipt-scanning apps, or other apps that give you ways to earn some extra money! My TikTok page has videos on each app showing you exactly how I make money from each one.
USER GENERATED CONTENT (UGC): UGC is an area of online-earning in which regular people take pictures or make short videos for brands and get reimbursed or paid. On this page, I’ll provide you with any tips and tricks I figure out along my UGC journey to help you start your own! This is an awesome side hustle to start and can easily fit around a full-time job and school.
AFFILIATE PRODUCTS: Any company I am an affiliate for will be listed here. I will have a unique discount code you can use to get money off your purchase, and I get a commission from any purchases I refer to the company. This is another great way of making some extra money – find companies you love, join as an affiliate, tell everyone about their products, and earn commissions!
SHOP: Here you will find my custom clothing designs, self-published books, stickers, and all sorts of other print-on-demand items that are sold through Amazon and Zazzle. These streams of income are also FREE to start – you can create designs, apply them to a product, and publish them. Whenever somebody makes a purchase, the company will make the product, ship it to the customer, and give you a commission on each sale! No inventory or packing orders!
