The University of Melbourne science student is among thousands of young Australians who are converting their lecture and textbook notes into cash.

Hundreds of students have paid $3 to access Mr Weng's neatly formatted biology and chemistry notes, which he uploads on a website called NoteXchange.

"It's a little bit of pocket money on the side," the 19-year-old said.

Students trust his work – he achieved a perfect ATAR ranking of 99.95 and receives good marks at university.

"I'm doing this for myself anyway. I may as well spend a few more minutes putting them online," he said. "It helps students understand some weird concepts."

There has been a proliferation of note-sharing websites, where Australian students submit their VCE, International Baccalaureate and university notes and profit from their sale.

But not everyone is happy with their existence.
