How to earn extra money for your study stay abroad

If you dream of traveling abroad sometime in the future, you are wise to save up well in advance. Not only do you need to have money for housing, transportation and any tuition fees, it is also cool to be able to experience a lot in your spare time. You will therefore need a lot of pocket money.

After a long epidemic, the urge to travel is great, and although we do not know when we can leave again without worries about infection rates and restrictions, it is never too early to plan ahead. There are countless opportunities for you who study, from short-term stays to entire educations. Here are a few ideas on how to supplement your income and save more money.

Invest in the future with cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that is independent of banks and the stock market. There are a lot of different ones out there today, and one of the most popular is called Ethereum. When you buy this currency, it gives you many different earning opportunities. You can wait for the price to go up and sell your currency again, but you can also explore dApps and smart contracts. Find out how to invest in Ethereum on Cryptomeister, and soak up the knowledge before you get started.

Start your own blog or podcast

It may not sound like an obvious monetization opportunity, but if you start well in advance and if you are serious about it, then there is nothing stopping your blog or podcast from becoming a source of revenue. Maybe not the whole big amount, but enough for pocket money. You achieve this through ads, sponsored content and affiliate marketing. You can also sell your own products, such as coaching, ebooks, etc. If you also write in English, your market and your opportunities are even greater.

Apply for private and public scholarships

Scholarships are a great way to finance a study stay. There are many different ones, and while the big ones are hard to get your hands on, you often have a good chance of getting the smaller scholarships. On the study guide you will find an overview of all Danish scholarships, so it's just about coming again. Be sure to check the application deadlines and be on time. In addition, it is important that you write a good application that is targeted at the scholarship you are applying for. Get friends or family to read it and find advice and guidance online. Then your odds will get better.

Write about your destination for magazines, weeklies and newspapers

If you are good at writing, and maybe even have the study something relevant, then it is worth throwing yourself into life as a freelancer. Sites like CultureTrip are a great example of how to write inspirational content about culture, food and travel, and there are many others out there. You can make travel guides, but you can also focus on politics. Maybe there is a Danish magazine that is interested in bringing your story? Or maybe the local newspaper from your childhood town? It's about thinking out of the box.
