A list of 9 different ways that architecture students can earn money are:-

Selling architecture stationary and products online 

It’s an affiliate marketing service you can learn in your college time. Architecture students, you can sell architecture stationery and other products by just making your website by writing some blogs related to architecture, architecture stationeries, and other products. At the end of the blog, you can share the affiliate link, and by generating traffic on your blog you can ask them to follow that affiliate link and purchase your product.

There are many platforms where you can do affiliate marketing:-

1. Amazon Affiliate
2. Shopify
3. Flipkart affiliate

1. Search for an e-commerce website on Google
2. Create an account on that website
3. Login to the website
4. Join the business partner program on that eCommerce website
5. Copy the affiliate link which will be available from now onwards on that eCommerce website you have joined the business partner program.

If someone approaches your website and clicks on the affiliate link which is provided in your blog and if he or she purchases some product.  That e-commerce website will give you some percentage of that product. Suppose you have 10000 affiliate link clicks through your blog post and almost 2000 people have purchased that product.  Roughly you will get a 0.4% to 5% share of that product but that will depend on the product specification and cost.

Selling architecture and design books in PDF format

Selling architecture and design books in a PDF format are generally performed on online platforms. You may master some topics in architecture during your college time.

Then you will ask us “when we are in college how we could write a book?” You have to master that particular topic on which you are going to write a book on. It doesn’t matter whether you have a degree or not, to write a book you don’t need a degree because you are sharing your experience. 

The only main criterion behind writing the book is that you are knowledgeable. Make sure that there will not be any corrections required such as grammatical and spelling mistakes.

Even writing blogs on your website or even free platforms like blogger.com or medium.com you upload your PDF books you may set the price of that PDF book and earn money.

Everything depends upon the traffic on your blogs. If your blog consists of 10000 weekly traffic then most probably that almost 20 to 30% of that population who is watching your blog I am going to buy that product.

Let’s suppose there are 20% of 10000 people who purchase your online PDF book for just 0.5 dollars. 20% of 10000 will be approx 2500 people and multiply by 0.5 dollars. 

My friend, for almost 1250 dollars per month you are going to just sell the PDF book. And you are just an architecture student and you are earning, which is one of the most fantastic things for you.

Things to follow while selling your PDF book online are:-

1. You should have a blogging website no matter if it’s free or paid but you should have one.
2. Your content of that blog should be optimum so that it will attract viewers towards your website and give you huge traffic per month. Without traffic, there is no use selling such products because, if nobody sees your product and blogs how come they know you because you are invisible to them? So focus on how you can generate traffic on your blog’s website.
3. Your PDF book doesn’t require corrections like grammatical or spelling mistakes.
4. Your PDF book must have genuine knowledge regarding a particular topic and don’t prefer to focus on multiple topics instead of just focusing on one.

Write blogs

Blogs are written content that consists of knowledge regarding anything. In architecture, there are many Pioneer bloggers and websites who generally write blogs, some of the good examples are archdaily.com,dezeen.com,architecturaldigest.com,rethinkthefuture.com, and many more…

You can make your blogging website and write content related to informative knowledge, tutorials, news, and related to architecture. But you will ask us how such a website makes money through writing blogs on their website.

Running ads on your website with the banner format, popup format, widget format, and other formats also. If someone approaches your website and sees the advertisement banner, somehow that person clicks on that.

The number of clips on that advertisement banner will give you some percentage and luckily if that person uses the website and purchases something from that website or gets the service automatically such big websites will get a higher value income through that.

Believe me, you can also do the same. You have to take some measures during putting AdSense into your website and they are:-

1. You should have at least a thousand people monthly traffic on your website.
2. Your content should be legit and readable enough that even a 10-year-old kid will read and understand it properly.
