Buy underpriced used books. Outfit a phone or PDA (personal
data assistant) with a scanner, scan the ISBN numbers of books at used
bookstores and thrift shops, and compare the asking prices with what the books
are selling for on a site like Amazon. Whenever you get a good hit (which won't
be often but, since the process is fast, won't take long, either), buy the book
and resell it online. Be discreet about this, as the store managers probably
won't like what you're doing.
These are the things you may get to your student e-mail
inbox from your university or careers service every now and then. They aren't
dangerous and usually don't require too much effort or time. They tend to
compensate you quite well (around £10/hour), and they may even interest you!
According to recent stats we now watch more videos on
YouTube than searches on Google. And with the recently introduced YouTube

receive a percentage of the advertising revenue collected per 1,000 views.
