Top 5 Ways to Earn Money for Students

Are you a college student? Do you wish to supplement your pocket money with a little additional cash? We understand that working a 9-5 office job will interfere with your studies. However, you can undertake an online job in your leisure time without investing any money. You can make good money from an internet job if you work hard. Many Nepalese people work full-time from their homes doing online work. There are no headaches from the 9-5 office job, and there are no headaches from the boss. You have the option of being your own employer. You can work whenever you wish. You’ll make some extra money in your spare time, and it won’t interfere with your studies.

But first, you should be aware that there are numerous scams involving online jobs on the internet. You must be aware of the deception. “Earn $1000 a day,” “$100 per hour,” and “earn $100 while you sleep” are some of the advertisements. They’re all con artists. You must be aware of their existence.

Yes, you can make the money mentioned above, but it will take a lot of commitment, time, knowledge, and hard work. You should make it a full-time job. However, for a student whose primary attention should be on their studies, earning $100 or $1,000 every day without a significant time or financial investment is nearly difficult. However, as in Nepal, $100 a month is sufficient for students’ pocket money, which they can earn completing internet jobs in their leisure time without investing.

To do the online work, you’ll need decent computer skills and access to the internet. So, let’s get started.

1. YouTube

YouTube is the finest and simplest way to earn money online without having to invest any money. You must have just used YouTube to look for videos. However, did you know that YouTube compensates the video’s publisher for each view? You can also make money using it. You don’t need a professional video camera to do this. It will be done for you via your smartphone. Make a video using your smartphone that is amusing, entertaining, or interesting. Make a video that you think people will enjoy. Create a YouTube channel, monetize it with Adsense, and when your videos go viral or receive a lot of views, you’ll be able to start making money right away.

2. Blogging

Blogging is an online diary in which one or more people publish articles in chronological order on any topic and keep it updated on a regular basis. You can create your own blog if you are an expert on any subject. There are numerous platforms from which to launch a blog. Blogger.com, on the other hand, is the greatest blogging platform for beginners or students. You can start writing articles on a blog without spending any money. Use social media to spread the word about this article. Once you have a good number of visitors, you can monetise your site with Adsense. After that, you will be compensated when someone views your blog and clicks on your advertisements.

3. PTC (Paid To Click)

PTC is another option to make a small amount of money without having to invest anything. We used the word “little” because it only pays a small amount every click. If you search the Internet for PTC websites, you will find a plethora of them, however the most of them are scams and fakes. So, before joining such a website, you should check the website’s review on the internet or ask me. If you wish to work on PTC sites, we propose Clixsense.com or Neobux.com. After you join the website, they will send you adverts to click, and they will pay you as little as 0.01$ (about NRs) for each click. Worst of all, there is a daily limit on the number of advertising you can receive. So, we wouldn’t encourage it, but if you’re lazy and don’t want to put in the effort to write or upload videos to YouTube, it’s worth a go.

4. Facebook

In both the United States and Nepal, Facebook is the most popular social networking site. It is Nepal’s most viewed website, ranking first. You must have a Facebook account if you are reading this post; if not, you may establish one. The majority of students’ time is spent on Facebook. So, you’re wondering how you make money on Facebook. Create a Facebook page for a certain topic, post updates on a regular basis, and grow the page. You can sell your Facebook page once you have a large number of fans. Many people purchase Facebook pages at a reasonable fee. All you have to do is put forth the effort. This does not necessitate any financial investment.

5. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a type of web marketing that allows you to promote a product from a variety of vendors. As a result, if you become an associate of a merchant and want to advertise their product, you will be given a unique link. You can promote the link for free on many forums and social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. And if someone buys something through your link, you get paid a percentage of what the dealer offered. This is difficult, but if you put in the effort, you can make a lot more money with Affiliate Marketing. Though affiliate marketing can help you make a lot of money if you invest, it can also help you make a lot of money if you don’t.

These are the 5 internet jobs for students who want to make money without having to invest any money. We’ve just touched on a small portion of it. If you want to do any of the above-mentioned online occupations, please let us know in the comments section or contact us. We’ll provide you a step-by-step tutorial to get you started.

Simply by doing what I was going to do anyway, I can earn a variety of Amazon credits and gift cards.

Stock Trading in Nepal – An Introduction

A share is essentially a fraction of a company’s ownership. Purchasing or selling shares entails acquiring or disposing of a portion of the company’s ownership. The stock market, also known as the share market, is a place where you can buy and sell stocks. In order to raise money, public corporations usually sell shares to the public, but the stock market often trades other instruments such as debentures, bonds, and mutual funds.

Dividends are a way for you to get a piece of those companies’ earnings as a shareholder. While share trading is an exciting way to earn money both actively and passively, it is also risky since investors can have to bear the loss if the company fails. As a result, as a novice, it is important that you gain a thorough understanding of the market before investing your money in stocks.

Here is a brief introduction of how you can participate in the game of stock trading.

1. GET STARTED: OPEN A DEMAT ACCOUNT

Opening a dematerialized (DEMAT) account at one of the Depositary Participant (DP) licensed by the Central Depository System and Clearing Limited (CDSC) is a prerequisite to participate in both primary and secondary market. Most commercial banks, merchant bankers and stockbrokers provide such services. If you already own some stocks in your name, then you can give your DP to dematerialize your physical share certificates into dematerialized shares. The DEMAT account is similar to a bank account which debits and credits the shares you sell or purchase. Most DP’s also provide clients with facilities to check their DEMAT account status online as well.

2. KNOW THE MARKET

To get started in the stock market, it is essential to first understand how the market functions. Securities Board of Nepal (www.sebon.gov.np); the sole regulator of the capital market is a useful source for primary information. Its website provides information on various securities laws, investor education, and upcoming public issues amongst others. Similarly, the Nepal Stock Exchange (www.nepalstock.com) the sole secondary market; and its mobile-based application is a great source to get hands-on information. There are many other popular websites that provide constant updates about the capital market such as; Share Sansar and Mero Lagani. Furthermore daily national newspapers, websites of merchant bankers and credit rating agency – icranepal.com – also provide good information.

3. PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIMARY MARKET – APPLY IN PRIMARY OFFERINGS

One of the best opportunities to participate in the capital market is to apply for primary offers in the primary market such as; Initial Public Offering (IPO) or Further Public Offering (FPO). Most companies offer primary issues to the general public at face value of NPR 100 per stock, or at a premium based on their valuations. The risk is lower when you purchase in the primary market as you get an opportunity to buy shares at a lower cost as compared to purchasing those shares in the secondary market once they are listed. Also, look out for opportunities to participate in the primary offering of mutual fund schemes which can be a beginning point.

News about primary issues generally comes out in national newspapers and are widely announced on other media platforms. Once you know the primary issues are out, you can read their prospectus to see their detail information such as; past and projected performance, & management amongst others. You can also look at their credit rating provided by a licensed credit rating agency before making the decision to invest.

4. PARTICIPATE IN THE SECONDARY MARKET– OPEN A TRADING ACCOUNT AT A STOCKBROKER OFFICE

All the stocks offered via the primary market are listed in the secondary market i.e. Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE); currently, there are 231 companies listed in the stock exchange. The secondary market provides the platform to sell the shares you hold or purchase new shares from the market. The share price of these listed companies and the value of NEPSE Index changes every day based on total demand and supply of shares in the market.

If you wish to get involved in the secondary market, you will need to open a transaction account at a stock broker’s office. There are currently 50 stockbrokers licensed by NEPSE while there are a few stock broker offices outside Kathmandu. Once you open an account with a stockbroker, they will provide you with a unique ID code via which all the transactions in your name will be executed.

To make a purchase or sale order you will simply have to call your stock brokers or visit their office to place an order, make sure you have the shares in your DMAT account before you place a sell order to your stockbroker. The stockbroker charges some commission as a brokerage fee for each transaction while you have also have to pay a capital gain tax of 5% if applicable while making sales.

5. STILL CONFUSED- SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP

If you are still confused and less confident about entering the market or you do not have time, energy and resources, do not worry as there are a number of professional licensed Portfolio Management Companies providing you with a full range of products and services under Portfolio Management Services (PMS). Based on your investment goals and expectations, these portfolio managers develop portfolios matching your risk appetite and invests in the capital markets on your behalf. The portfolio manager charges minimal annual and performance fees while these services offer you the opportunity to grasp the benefits of the capital markets. Moreover, you can also handover your existing portfolio to these portfolio managers for restructuring and further management.

All in all, as the stock market is constantly evolving and getting technical, retail investors are highly advised to seek professional advice and avoid making investments on herd mentality – invest wisely!

What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?

You’ve already heard of smart devices, autonomous robots, and self-driving cars in some form or another. They are undoubtedly innovative, but they aren’t as clever as they seem. The biggest drawback of these smart devices is their limited ability to communicate with the outside world. A car can drive itself and avoid external obstacles, but it can’t decide when to pick you up or what kind of music you want to listen to based on how your day went at work.

Consider how useful it would be if your wearable fitness devices could monitor your heart rate and the number of steps you’ve taken during the day, and then use the data to recommend workout plans that are specific to you. A system that uses an app to monitor statistics for future training and recommends diet plans. Isn’t that awesome? That, then, is the real-world application of IoT. Continue reading to learn more about IoT.

What is IoT?

In the internet of things, all devices are linked by a unique identifier known as an IP address. These smart devices are also equipped with sensors. They use their own sensors to collect data from the environment, and they work closely with other devices to do so. After that, the data is sent to central servers. The servers then store, evaluate, and process the data before sending instructions to the system to perform a particular task under certain conditions.

Implications of IoT

IoT can be applied to almost every aspect of human life. They can be used in healthcare, where data from IoT devices can help doctors determine the best treatment plan for their patients. It can also be used to avoid the disease by tracking it continuously. In the same way, it can be used in industries to power manufacturing devices and various types of equipment. In addition, IOT can be used in education to enable students to collect learning materials. They also allow teachers to monitor their students’ progress in real time. In this way, the Internet of Things plays an important part in our daily lives.

How Does Hindsight Bias Influence Investing Decisions?

Since its top of 1881 in 2016, the Nepal Stock Exchange has been on a downward trend. The market dropped to as low as 1100, a drop of nearly 40% from its peak. Many investors lost a lot of money as a result of the devastating market meltdown.

If we ask investors right now if they thought the market was going to tumble after 2016, many will say yes. However, at the peak, investors were more bullish on the market. The massive quantity of everyday turnover demonstrates this. The daily transaction amount was between 1.5 and 2 billion rupees.

So, how does an investor’s opinion of the same event change? This is a psychological phenomena known as ‘Hindsight bias.’

The tendency of people to perceive events as more predictable than they actually are is referred to as hindsight bias. In other words, it makes the past appear less predictable than it was. Things always appear more evident after they have occurred.

Decision making is difficult prior to the occurrence due to a lack of information and foresight. However, looking at the available results after the event, the outcome appears more predictable.

During the bullish era in our market, investors were uninformed of the oncoming market disaster. As a result, many people were highly involved in stocks. Some people predicted that the market would crash. However, no one was certain at the moment.

However, after the market fall, investors believe that they were forewarned that the market would drop. With more information regarding the market crash becomes accessible, investors appear to be more sure about the event’s predictability.

Why is hindsight bias dangerous in investing?

Consider the following scenario: You are considering purchasing a stock called ABC. However, you do not purchase it for some reason. The price of ABC stock then skyrockets. What are your thoughts?

The answer is that you are stupid. You kick yourself for squandering the opportunity. You are remorseful for not purchasing the stock when you realized it was a winner. You tell yourself, ‘I knew the stock would soar.’ This is what we mean by hindsight bias.

So, what makes it dangerous? This is because you have made a promise to yourself that you would not make the same mistake again. You are more confident in your decision-making abilities, and you vow to seize the next opportunity. This is the danger that hindsight bias can cause. The next time might not be the same as the previous.

Let’s have a look at another scenario: You consider purchasing a stock called ABC. However, you do not purchase it for some reason. The price of ABC stock then plummets. Now consider if you would have felt the same way in the first situation.

No, it does not. You congratulate yourself on making a wise decision not to buy ABC stock. You knew the stock would decline, which is why you didn’t buy it in the first place.

Why is the response different in these two cases? In an ideal world, the answer in both cirplusstances would be the same. In both cirplusstances, you made the same decision not to acquire stock ABC prior to the rise or fall in its price. However, after the event occurs, such as a price rise or decline, you change your reaction in accordance with the nature of the occurrence.

This is risky because it gives you the impression that you knew it all along, giving you a false sense of security in your judgment. This can lead to overconfidence in your financial abilities and reckless decisions.

How do you prevent falling into the Hindsight Bias trap?

Several behavioral experts have recommended producing a list of everything that was considered when making the decision. This could be a good plan. We will know what our thought process was at the time of decision making if we make a record of the reasoning behind our decisions. We cannot change our statements after the event has occurred. This will aid us in making an accurate assessment of our abilities.

Investors may not consider hindsight bias as a concern. However, it may lead you to make decisions based on your perspective rather than facts.

In conclusion

In our daily lives, we experience hindsight bias. Whether it’s investing, gaming, exams, or anything else, the outcome makes us feel much more confident in our abilities. If Real Madrid beats Sevilla, we’ll tell ourselves and others that we knew Madrid was going to win. Similarly, if the stock/real estate price is rising, ‘I knew it’ comes into play.

Even if it hasn’t caused any immediate harm, it can make you overconfident, causing your next bet to be more illogical. Real Madrid won, but the outcome might be different the next time. Past events cannot be utilized to predict the future completely. Information and strategies evolve in tandem with the passage of time.

As a result, it is preferable to treat each possibility as new and base your judgment on facts. The past appears to be easy to anticipate, yet this is not the case. It is a hallucination that arises following the occurrence of the result. As a result, it is preferable to stick to your investing ideas and tactics.
