Make a little money while going to school!!!

A while back I was contacted by Angela with Campus Book Rentals to do an informative post on their services and that of Operation Smile. My original post focused more on Operation Smile, however this time I thought I would discuss the text rental. I was compensated for this post. All information was received via the sites linked below. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you have been following my blog you know I have started working on my second master's. As a lifetime college student I have found this information about renting text books very helpful. So let me bullet point it for you:

-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices

-free shipping both ways
-can highlight in the textbooks
-flexible renting periods
-Each text book rental yields a donation to Operation Smile

Along with the aforementioned they have a new program called Rentback (where was this when I was buying books every semester, now I have online books). Rent Back is new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own - to other students... which is awesome because it will make you 2-4x more money compared to what they'd make through single buyback options! For example that math book that is wasting space in your room you can rent it out to a student each semester instead of just getting the one time payment from selling the book back at the end of the year. One thing to consider is that professors do change the books sometimes so be sure to check into that and weigh all your options.

 

Renting text books can save lives and smiles!!!

Hey hey!!! I was contacted by Angela with Campus Book Rentals to do an informative post on their services and that of Operation Smile. I was compensated for this post. All information was received via the sites linked below. All thoughts and opinions are my own. (This is my first sponsored post but I think that covers me)...

Operation Smile is an International children's medical charity. They focus on healing smiles and changing lives. They operate a mobile surgical team that seeks to help children who have been born with such deformities as cleft lip or cleft palate. Operation Smile believes that every child should have access to safe and quality surgical care. It is very unfortunate that many children are born with these conditions and many will not live past their first birthday due to a lack of medical resources.

Operation Smile and its more than 5,000 medical volunteers are working every day around the world to provide safe, effective and free cleft lip and cleft palate reconstructive surgeries for children all over the world. They are an international medical humanitarian organization that works in over 60 countries that is dedicated to raising awareness of this life-threatening issue and providing lasting solutions. For more information you can see there FAQ page here.

I must admit that I have never heard of the charity before. My daughter was blessed enough not to have been born with a cleft lip or palate. If you are like me and need more information on these conditions you can go here. It is very sad that children are dying from these conditions simply because they do not have access to or are unable to afford proper medical care.

So what does Operation Smile have to do with renting text books?... Let me start by showing you How it works...

Along with the aforementioned they have a new program called Rentback. Rent Back is new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own - to other students... which is awesome because it makes them 2-4x more money compared to what they'd make through buyback options! For example that intro to psyc book that is wasting space in your room you can rent it out to a student each semester instead of just getting the one time payment from selling the book back at the end of the year.
