Today I want to share with you 6 business ideas
that will provide you with some funds and also
support you through your days in school, most
of the students sometimes find it difficult to get
some stuffs done while in school due to some
financial challenges.
There are some parents that get easily offended
when their wards request for money to get
some things done while in school, some parents
even think that it is all about paying their
wards’ school fees and that is all, they think
their wards are trying to cheat on them if the
request for more funding after school fees
payment, there are much more things to be
done while in school financially after paying
your fees.
As a student with great goals to achieve, you
must not depend fully on your parents
financially when there are a lot of things to be
done there on campus to get some funding for
your academic activities, your parents are not
there with you to know your needs, this implies
that they may think you are trying to play over
their intelligence by requesting for more money
for your needs. Let’s get down to the business
of the day. Here are six (6) things you should do
to get you some money on campus.
1) Start tutoring your fellow students
As a university or polytechnic student, you may
be good in a particular course that your fellow
students see as a challenge in their academic,
organize a tutorial class for them and start
tutoring them. Charge them a particular amount
you wish to take from them. In higher
institutions, especially in surveying and some
engineering departments, most of the courses
they teach is full of drawings, if you are good in
drawing, help them out with the drawings and
charge them for your service, when you can
mostly achieve this is when the lecturer gives an assignment to be submitted in probably days or weeks time, the ones that are not really good in drawing will be lamenting on how to get the assignment done pending the submission date.
Don’t sit down to watch them lamenting when you know that you can be a solution to their problem, get the assignment from them and get
it done for them, charge the for the service, but
make sure you charge the a moderate price so
they can pay you, after all, they are also students like you.
2) Offer Transportation services for your fellow
students
Why I’m bringing in this particular idea is that
most of the tertiary institutions in Nigeria have
two (2) or more campuses which will involve
transporting from one campus to the other.
Your dad might probably have an abandoned
car which there is nothing really wrong with it.
Get a mechanic to fix the car for you and use it
for inter campus micro transportation business.
The school might have a bus for this, but most
of the students may not be comfortable going
with it, they will rather pay you to transport
them to the other campus for their academic
activities. You must not allow this number two
(2) means of getting extra money to interfere
with your own academic programs, do it in your
spare time and make sure you balance the
business with your education not forgetting that
the cardinal thing that brought you that campus
was not to make money but for your academics.
3) Be a career counselor
If you are good in communication, probably you
are a communication art student, you can meet
with the employers and recruiters on and off
the campus, ask them questions about the
qualities they may desire to have in their job
applicants, after getting the required
information from them, you can come back to
your school to hold a mini seminar, counseling
them about their different careers and what
they should expect to get from their employer.
4) Organize a Party for the students
Most people love party, that may serve as a
source for them to cash fun while on campus,
you can make good money from this if you can
get good DJ to play in your parties. You can also
organize a party that involves singers, comedian
and entertainers generally.
5) Sports and fitness training
You may be good in a particular area of sports
or may be fitness training, there may be
students who would also love to be as good as
you are in a particular area of sport that you are
already a professional. Offer to teach them and
charge them for it.
6) Graphic design services
If you have the knowledge about graphic design,
you should not be lamenting about money while
on campus. Go ahead and help your fellow
students in beautifying their project work or
seminars. Also, there are a lot of events that will
be happening on campus that will need a
graphic designer, events like student union
government elections, which will involve
designing of flyers, posters and other things. As
a graphic designer, avail yourself of those
opportunities and make more money for
yourself.
Now that you have the idea of what to do while
on campus to keep your life going, get up and
start implementing these ideas and see the
outcomes you will have. How would you rate
these ideas, please use the comment section to
share your own thoughts with us, perhaps if I
have omitted some of the ideas you think
should have been included.
