How can Medical Students Make money online

These days building a website is extremely fast and simple. All you need is a web hosting service such as bluehost or hostgator (just to name a few) and a laptop or desktop computer. Medical students can share their  experiences in their medical training as well as share knoweldge of the resources that they used in a personal blog. 

The specific ways of monetizing a blog vary, but can include, using your domain  affiliate marketing through affiliate networks such as Awin, or Shareasale  While it surely wont happen overnight, a successful blog can generate a lot of money per month over time 

Create and sell a course

As medical students we have certainly spent a good amount of time studying for long hours and acing very important exams. By the time you are in medical school you have become proficient in avery important skills such as studying and test taking. There are already medical students creating courses that are dedicated to teaching pre-med students how to approach studying for important tets such as the MCAT. Some great course building platforms include:

• Teachable
• Kajabi
• Thinkific

A good example of this is the course created by Dr Nessim. He began offering this service while he was a medical student and eventually it grew into a successful pre med consultant business. In addition offering pre med consulting, he also offers a comprehensive MCAT course, as well as tutoring for classes.

Make a youtube channel

Similarly to a blog a youtube channel is a way for medical students to grow and audience and become influencer. Youtube is a great platform if your just starting out as an influencer. Some ideas of some youtube video ideas include vlogs, videos on how to get into medical school, as well as videos on how to study for important board certification exams such as USMLE step 1 and step 2.

Join an ambassador program

This is one that not a lot of medical students know about but it is a great opportunity. In medical school you will withtout a doubt utilise many question banks and various other learning resources to ensure you ae learning most efficiently. The companies of some of these resources have ambassador programs which offer a commission if you  promote their product on social media or another media. For example, some question banks such as Kaplan, Statpearls, Trulearn, and Med Bootcamp all of Ambassador programs which pay commission evrytime a sale is made.

There are many other ways that you can make money in medical school which are not mentioned on this list. Other methods includes things such as taking surveys for money, dog sitting, as well as taking part in research trials.

Medical School is already as hard as it is so having some extra money to help with living costs and other essentials can definitely make it less stressful. Rest assured that there are  many  possibilities out there for medical students to earn money.

Become an Online Personal Trainer

This one may not seem like it is a good option but hear me out. First and foremost the greatest benefit of this is the fact that you would not have to show up in a physical location. Second, you would be working for yourself so you could set your own hours.

Actually becoming an online personal trainer is not as difficult as you think. You do not actually need to be certified. All you need is a platform which allows you to sign up clients and give them a a workout program as well as a nutrition plan. One such platform that I recommend is Trainerize.
