Step 6Get Creative !! (Non-Electrical)
As you have probably guessed by now the best way to make money other than hard labor is selling things, The last four steps have been selling or making electronics but these are not the only things you can sell.
If you cant solder or you don't know alot about electronics there are plenty of other things you can make and then sell, For example..
A Birdhouse,
You could easily get the wood and a hammer and some nails, then cut the panels of the birdhouse and nail them together. Now comes the fun part. Ask around and tell people that you are selling customized birdhouses. When you find someone that is interested, ask them what design/colour-scheme they want and then paint the birdhouse and sell it to them. You will get more money because it is customized. You could go even further than a colour-scheme and add a bird feeder or water bowl to the side!
Here are the instructions for a Simple Birdhouse
One great way to customize a birdhouse is to give it a custom finish by gluing cool looking rocks all over the surface. Then, in the spots where there aren't rocks, apply glue and cover it with sand. It looks really nice.
A Stick-Pencil
This is a very easy and cheap project you can do and then sell to anyone. The Stick-Pencil consists of surprisingly a stick from a bush and a regular pencil. What you basically do is cut a stick out of the bush, drill a hole in the middle, open the pencil and put the graphite from the pencil into the stick, forming a novelty pencil you can sell to anyone who writes. If you made a couple of these pencils and took them to your school you could easily sell them all in one day
Here are the instructions for the Stick-Pencil
Customizing Things
If you have a Dremel or some paint you can easily customize your friend's belongings for a fee, For example, Painting a pencil case with a custom theme or Engraving their name on it. This method could be very popular at the start of a term when peoples stationary needs naming.

it helps you both in studies and in easy money.
it is easy to find a publisher by googling.
i am writing two sci-fi books
I agree that it can be profitable to write books. Heck, it can even be fun. It is not however, that easy. Not only do you have to write a first draft of about fifty thousand words, you then have to painstakingly edit it, until it is perfect. Then you must find the correct publisher, and even then, it isn't horribly likely that you will get published.
Now, I say if you want to write a book, go for it! It is an awesome experience, and everyone should try it at least once. Just don't get yourself labeled as a Send-This-One-Straight-To-The-Slush-Pile in the publishing world.
