We’ve all seen ads offering us tons of money for our brilliant Ivy League notes. (which some of us don’t even have because we rarely ever go to class to take them. But, theres no shame in that.) Free money for something we already do doesn’t sound so bad. Neither does being able to buy the notes we never took for cheap. In fact, it always sounds to good to be true. But when a midterm is three days away and you realize that you don’t have anything to study because you’ve been to lecture all of five times this semester, what do you do? You can either waste time rummaging through the textbook, which, might I add, you probably never even bought. Or, you can quickly and easily buy the notes and study guides you need on Flashnotes.com, a student-to-student study materials marketplace.
Not only can you buy course-specific notes, but you can sell your notes just as easily. To be honest, when I signed up, I didn’t think anyone would want my notes. I posted notes from a lecture I had attended that day, and within a few hours, I had three requests from people wanting to buy them. If you’re like me and you take hours making extensive study guides for every exam, its so easy to make bank just by posting them online. An extra $20-$100 a week doesn’t sound so bad to me.
But, if you’re not one to take notes and just want to buy them, Flashnotes is perfect for you too as you can find notes on just about every major lecture and seminar, not only at Columbia, but at almost every other college in the country. This website is something Columbia students could easily benefit from, seeing as we’re always looking for notes we missed, cramming for exams, and looking for an extra buck. Imagine if we all posted all of our notes, creating a network in which we all have access to all the tools and study materials we need — study guides, notes, flashcards, video tutorials, and even live video help. I think that would make our lives so much easier, not to mention relieve a ton of stress. All in all, Flashnotes is a win/win.
The average student is making $31/hr, while the top sellers have made nearly $6,000. This, statistic shows just how much students are making on campuses all over the country. We can set the price of their study materials and Flashnotes.com then gives you, 70% of the revenue generated by the sales. That’s way more than you’ll ever get from work study, and the best part, its simple and easy. You can quickly upload notes right after class, from your bed, or in the dining hall in just a few seconds.
