Life as a student university in Nigeria can really be
frustrating if you are not financially buoyant, most especially when the
semester is coming to an end and no money is forthcoming from parents/guardian.
This is the period you see most Big boys on campus selling their expensive
phones just to survive. I remember when i was undergraduate and could not
afford to buy any food from the canteens and have to eat beans morning,
afternoon and night (you know what i mean now).
This led me to become creative and i started printing and
scanning in my room and this go along way to help me survive when i am in need
of urgent money. So to help students get through this though times i will be
giving 10 examples of businesses you can start in school today.
SO HERE IS IT 10 WAYS A STUDENT CAN MAKE MONEY IN SCHOOL
This article intends to show you as a student in the
tertiary institution some 10 cool businesses you can do today with the little
bucks you may have and grow it to the extent of getting whatever you want
without bothering your parents.
1. START A BULKSMS BUSINESS
This business is 1 business you want to take advantage of
because of the demand of it,
It demands just a little capital of about N4000 and nothing
else. Who are the people that require your services?
You can contact the school fellowships, churches, school
societies, clubs, and private schools around you offering them your services.
TIPS ABOUT THE BUSINESS

friends computer .

2. START A PRIVATE LECTURE CENTER
If you're good enough, you can start a tutorial lesson for
your mates and junior colleagues to help them understand the courses they are
having challenges. This will also help you improve as a person but this
particular business requires time and dedication. You can also start home
teaching for nearby students and earn some cool cash to get by.
And it is divided into two groups
1. Private home tutorship
2. Tutorial centre
1. Private home tutorship
While the former is less lucrative, it can also foot your
bills. You can start this business with no capital. All you have to
do is print out some papers with this inscription on it (want a private home
teacher for your children add your phone numbers) and have your friends help
you post it on wall around the campus and within the area that you live and put
your phone on, and make sure you keep appointment.
2. Tutorial centre
This is the cash pulling part of the deal. While private
home tutorship requires less capital this one actually requires a lot of
capital and dedication, but on the long run you are going to be smiling to the
bank.
1. It is capital intensive
2. Requires a little time and dedication
3. Requires good management skills
1. How do i get the money to finance it? i.e you can ask
your parents and friends for support. you can also ask from friends
2. How do i get my teacher? This one is easy sha. just go to
any department in the school and look for the most ‘brilliant set of students
and make them an offer.
3. Where do i get a place to establish it? This one is the
most important, because location matters most in business
4. How much are you going to charge per student? Make
enquiry in your area.
5. How do you get your tables, chairs and white boards? This
is where you need some cash in the business.
6. What time are you going to be operating? You can choose
morning or evening or do both.
3. REPAIRING OF HANDSETS
As funny as this sounds, the money made from this particular
business can make a really big boy in school. Am so sure of this one because
this is my own handwork and i used to make quite a lot, until of recent when i
started making some real online cash
All you have to do is go for training during semester
holidays and learn the basics.
The reason being that this particular business is very
lucrative and requires very low start-up capital.
4. BEAD MAKING
This is a very lucrative business, that also requires a very
low start up capital. All you have to do is acquire the required skills.
Am going to tell you a story here, back then in secondary
school i had this friend a girl to be precise, she had this passion for bead
making and i was a bead lover.
Majority of my friends too were bead lovers.
So this particular girl will make a tie with bead and brings
it to school you need to see the way me and friends fight for it and the
highest bidder for the day goes home with it. lolzzzzz
Now when i got out i decided to make an investigation on how
much this beads cost and i was amazed at how much this girl was making weekly
from us she buys a bead of N500 and use it to make a belt that she later sells
to us N2500. and she sells nothing less than 3 of this beads products weekly in
school. That's why i am going to mandate any girl that wants to make money in
school. To do this business.

3. Who are going to buy from you? Your course mates, fellow
students, church members and everybody you come in contact with
4. The most important is for you to be creative
5. Always do a very neat job
5. HAIR AND BEAUTY SALOON
“Abeg who no wan fine”
DO i have to deliberate on this issue much?
No i am not going to do that, you as a girl you know how
much you spend weekly on your hair. and check the local saloons around you
every weekend and see the way girls queue just to have an hair do.
1. Get training
2. Be very jovial and always ask your customers some
questions about them any time they com to you
3. Make your customers your friend
4. Do great jobs so people can always ask your customers “who
made this hair for you” and they refer them to you
5. You don’t need much start-up capital, all you need is the
training fee
