Top Things You Can Do To Make Money Inside Campus


Today, we did be getting something new which i bet will change your financial life as a student and not only that, it will have to breed you up for the future on how you can earn a living from Little.

Below are the tmake money as a student.These researches, were all gotten from vaious platform ike the Myed.ng, business.org, imc.com and so many others and today, i find it wise to share these tips with you.

WHY DO YOU NEED THESE TIPS?

As a student, you tend to face so many challenges, ranging from tuition fee, hostel fee and other fee. Let me not even speak about those ones now, because you tend you pay for those ones once in a year But Do you Know that the money you use in Feeding and buying Materials Is even more greater then the amount you spend for school fees and other fees and obviously, they are the ones that tend to consume more cash.
What are these other challenges?
-Feeding
-Photocopying
-Departmental dues
-Hostel Dues
-Faculty dues…. etc

1. Photography

The Photography business has grown from its state in the days to a renowned profession which people are making a fortune out of. Starting this business in small scale means you’re not just making money at the moment but securing a strong financial future for yourself. You know how students especially the female folks love taking pictures, this is the perfect time to make maximum use of this opportunity. you don’t need much to start, just save a little money for a good camera, with a bit of creativity and you’re good to go. Please note that doing photography professionally requires just more than the previous requirements mentioned but this should be enough to get you started. you can also take passport photographs during school registrations.

2. Sale of Fashion Items

Interesting thing about this business is that you’d succeed no matter your gender. Both male and female wears rocks on Nigerian campuses and who else will succeed more if not their fellow students. I know of a guy who is living comfortably and paying school fees only by selling men under-wears, yes, and Just men under wears, most of the times he travels out to the region where these boxer shorts are at a very low prize, buys them and bring them to his school. He sells these boxer shorts for virtually everybody in his region ranging from his lecturers down to his fellow students. I don’t want to go into details on how much these things cost, but its best you do your homework.

3. T-Shirt Customization

This business requires your creativity as a student. looking around you, you’ll notice students love fancy and funky stuffs. learning the art of this business means you’ll have fellow students begging you to collect their money for a t-shirt write up. You can learn this simple business during your stay at home/holiday. You can start in small scale by doing the write ups on your own T-shirt, friends will like it and ask you to even do for them. Just start something. Remember the “My Oga at the Top Saga”? you see those custom t-shirts? Need i say more? – See more at: 

4. Online Registration

Yes, if you have a laptop and a bit of computer knowledge, i don’t know what stops you from enjoying both the pleasure and money derived from this Job. you can register virtually everything online. Course Registration, Post-UTME Registration, JAMB Registration, Job Application, etc. You can even make extra cash from typing assignments and projects for fellow students. Do i also need to tell you the thousands of Naira made during post UTME registrations? All the tools you need to make good money are all around you, you Just need to identify one and work your way through it. – 

5.Website Design/Hosting

I’ll be a bit biased on this one because that’s what i do currently and don’t know if its suitable for students or not. But i can authoritatively tell you students are taping into the hidden money from this lucrative business. It may take a while to learn the entire concept of how this things work but its something you can easily do while you are home for holidays. Website Design may sound a bit complex so you might want to manage the little you get from setting up blogs for fellow students. This write up may not make sense to you because you don’t know a thing about website design, its why i’ll advice you to learn under anybody who is established in it already. Look around your campus, there are students who do well comfortably with this business, it wouldn’t hurt much to meet them to put you through.



Below are the other 10 tips which have been tested and confirmed.

-Starting up Tutorials : If are capable of teaching, you can earn teaching you classmates and those below you in class.

-Photocopying.

-Blogging

-Laundry

-Helping with respect to online assignments: I know of people that make huge from this.
-Bulk Sms : You have various Fellowships in your school. Don’t you know you can make money selling units to them ?

-Opening a café |(This involves much capital though)

-Selling Textbooks to people.

-Opening up a canteen and employing people to work there for you

-Going into Political stuffs (These one is making sense sha, eg, hall governor,sug excos, etc)

10 ways to make money in School


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

1. Requires very little start-up capital

2. Very lucrative because all organization in the school are in need of it

3. Does not affect your studies

4. Requires for you to have a very good internet connection. e.g. Your phone, a cyber cafe, your personal laptop or desktop, or maybe a friends computer .

5. You need a very stable phone to receive calls from clients

Want to start this business get addicted to this blog because i will be dropping detailed explanation very soon.

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.

 THINGS TO KNOW

1. It is capital intensive

2. Requires a little time and dedication

3. Requires good management skills

 Thing to consider before going into this business

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.

 Note: Do your feasibility studies first before going into this business

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.

 THINGS TO KNOW

1. Get training

2. Create your own special designs

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.

 REQUIREMENTS

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

 
6. MINI IMPORTATION BUSINESS FROM CHINA

 This is one lucrative business that am currently engaged on and am making my cash from it. you can start this business with as low as N15,000 and make a lot of cash.

You can import items like blackberries, clothes, phones, memory card, and just anything that you like and know you can sell.

 7. START BLOGGING

If you have a laptop or phone and an internet connection then this business is for you. I started my first blog with Nokia C2 dual sim mobile phone. Blogging is all about writing rich contents and giving it out to your customers. You can start with these three sites just choose the one you prefer blogger.com, wapblog.com, and wordpress.com

REQUIREMENTS

1. A laptop or mobile phone and an internet connection

2. A passion for writing

3. Always post quality contents

4. Choose a niche you are comfortable with

5. This business requires time, dedication, and patience

8. MOVIE RENTAL SERVICES

This business is a very lucrative business because as busy as students are they still find time to watch movies. Now this is were your services is needed, since students cant afford to buy part 1 and 2 for N300 they will come to you to rent it to them for N 100

REQUIREMENTS

1. A small space were you can display all your films

2. Little start up capital required

3. You must be updated on all latest films

9. GAME LOUNGE

Amazing way to make money in school. Especially if you can get a secure location in the school hostels. You will make a lot of money.

This particular business actually made my best friend a millionaire.

 But you might have to carry out feasibility study about the business on your own.

Thank you for reading this article, I hope you have found one or two out of the ten that you can start today and make some cool cash.

Go succeed my friend.

3 REASONS YOU HAVEN’T GOTTEN YOUR DREAM JOB AND THE ULTIMATE KEYS TO SOLVING THESE PROBLEMS

Let’s get at it…………

The world we leave today requires you to be ready to think outside the box to be a successful human been.
This is also required from you as a job seeker. Creative thinking is a vital key…..
A lot of our youths today are looking for ways to get employment and get more out of their lives, but often times this is not the case and I will like to shock you……..
This is your fault…………
If you haven’t gotten that dream job and you keep sending resumes/cvs without replies, it’s because you don’t have what they need and/or even if you have what they need, it’s because you don’t know how to communicate it………..
Simply………….. it’s either
You don’t have what it takes……… or
You can’t sell yourself……….
Period!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the three reasons you haven’t been called for interviews or offered employments by those your big and dream companies are:
1.      No Value
2.      Wrong Positioning
3.      Bad Resume/CVs
These are the three major causes of you never getting replies after countless Resume submissions to those companies………..
Now I will discuss these three key challenges in details with their solutions……….
1.      Value
The most distinguishing part of a man is the values he possesses and ready to impact his world. Our values are our beliefs about what is right and wrong and what is important in life (NIM).
The problem most of the job seekers and the unemployed youths today is lack of values.
A lot of people just want to fill voids or vacuums left by the previous employee and not ready to go the extra miles and even challenge the “status quo”. No plans to make positive contributions to the organizations… all that matters is just to get the job and waiting for the huge salary coming at the end of the month. 
Immediately you have these mind sets, you automatically turn off your chances of ever been employed……


Your mind-sets should always be……..
What can I do today to make the world and everything around me better…?
What can I do or contribute to this organization to move her to the next level?
Where is this organization currently suffering and will probably need my help?
These are the mind budging questions you must be prepared to answer before you can become someone indispensable to any organization and attract boundless opportunities to yourself………because according to Steve Jobs “We don’t employ smart people and teach them what to do, we only employ smart people to teach us what to do”. It is as simple as that….
You might think that it’s a lie but that is actually what those global companies are seriously looking for in an ideal candidate to fill any vacant position…
All companies need a person of value that moves their organization to the next level not someone to just come fill a void……….
The Burj Al Arab picture you see above was brought to reality by set of value laden engineers who challenge the status quo and built the world tallest and only 7 star hotel on an artificial island in Dubai…….
You have these same creativity and the world is waiting for your potentially that you have to make your make to this world before you finally leave…….

When you become a person of values………Your values will certainly make ways for you…..You will be sort after and money and success will never be your problem again in life……..

Here is another list of 11 you can choose from and make some cash this New Year.

1. Internet Press Release Services
     The demand for free publicity will always be on the increase as long as there’s competition in business. Imagine getting on the front page or home page of a high traffic media website without spending a dime; that’s the power of press releases. If you are good at writing press releases and also submitting them; then you are in business.
 
2.    Blog Installation
Blogging is the most famous business online. Every John and Jenny now owns a blog and even a lot more people desires to own one or two blogs but unfortunately, not many people understand the technicality involved with installing a blog and they are not willing to learn it. If you are good at blog installation, then you can offer it as a service and I bet that you will smile to the bank weekly.
 
3.    Trade currencies
Every day, there is a huge fluctuation in Foreign Exchange markets, money are increasing and decreasing in value. If you have a combination of technical and fundamental analytical skills and little cash flow, you can become an online currency trader. If you don’t have the basic knowledge in currency trading, you can go to places like www.forexfactory.com, a great website for learning the basics. Remember, this is leveraged cash, so if you make the right decisions, you have a chance to profit big! At the same time, the risks can be high if you don’t have a money management strategy in place.
 
4.    Create videos
Research have shown that a lot of people prefer watching videos and listening to audios are to reading books. According to Price Waterhouse Coopers “the amount of time spent on online video has seen 13.5% increase in each year, and now exceeds spend on TV advertising”. Hundreds of statistics like this have meant that businesses have to produce online videos and if they don’t, they are going to be missing out. Video platforms are just another avenue to acquire potential consumers. You can offer video packages from $50-5,000 and beyond. Select your target market and market to them effectively. If you can couple video production with the ability to be creative, you can make videos go viral. If you can do that, your $500 video is going to be worth $5,000 or even $50,000 to a client. Checkout the results from the Old Spice video campaign!
 
5.    Website flipping business
Website flipping involves buying and selling websites for a profit. To understand this business model, just consider yourself a real estate entrepreneur who buy houses at a low price, renovates the house and resells at a higher price for a profit. You can begin by checking out websites that are listed on Flippa.com to understand how this business works.
 
6.    Do-It-Yourself program
This is an amazing opportunity for you as a person with a particular skill or set of skills to teach people. As the economy gets tighter, people are spending less and they are learning to do things themselves to save money. You can still take advantage of this situation and position yourself as a Do It Yourself expert and start publishing tutorials on how to fix things, install gadgets and make repairs.
 
7.    Remote technical support
Another good online venture you can get involved is becoming a remote technical assistance. Many small businesses you see today don't have provisions in their budget for a full-time IT employee, so when their systems develops problems, they usually call a computer engineer friend or family member. If you have experience working on computers and networks, you can help solve their problems by offering immediate remote technical assistance.
 
8.    Professional freelancer
Freelancing is one of the most lucrative businesses online because you can perform different task to different organization and individuals at the same time. You might not think of freelancing as a business, but with more and more companies turning to part-time contract workers to fill their skill gaps,you should know it’s imaginable making a living by providing businesses with a variety of freelance services. Depending on your skill sets, you could work for multiple companies in a variety of fields, offering flexibility and a refreshing change of pace. According to the freelance job listing website Freelancer.com, tech services, content creation and web design are popular fields for contract work.
 
9.    Resume/cover letter writing
It's a tough truth to swallow as job search is on the increase on a daily basis with more people graduating from school into the labour market. You can make a living online for yourself by helping job seeker writing a standout and job winning resume and cover letters. A standout resume and cover letter can make all the difference when applying for jobs. While listing career accomplishments might seem like an easy task, the fine art of “humble bragging” eludes some of us. Get hired to help others get hired by writing stellar resumes. Capitalize on the increasingly importance of social media branding and offer to fix LinkedIn profiles.
 
10. Health/nutrition coach
According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 70 percent of the adult population is overweight or obese, and many people that want to lose weight and eat better simply don't know where to start. Since you don't necessarily need to be a registered dietitian (RD) to offer meal plans and diet counseling to your client base. By helping people with the right combination of nutrition and exercise knowledge accompanied with personal support, you could be helping people get healthier through your online service.
 
11. Social media consultant
Finally on this list is another highly demanded service call social media consultant. Larger firms can hire an agency or full-time staff member to run their Facebook and Twitter accounts, but small businesses often have to handle their own social media marketing . With so many other responsibilities, business owners are often too busy or overwhelmed to spend time developing and implementing a great social media strategy.
As a consultant, you can help them determine the best tactics, posting schedules and content for their target audience. As their follower count grows, so will your business.

9 Amazing Ways To Attract More Orders For Your Products


A lot of people want to increase sales but find it a difficult task to get ahead in this area of their business.
If you have an online based business, these 10 tips will help you increase the orders for your product.
Here are the 10 ways to attract more orders:

1. Offer daily or weekly visitor bonuses.
This will increase your repeat traffic and sales because your visitors will visit regularly to get the visitor bonuses.

2. Create a free ebook directory on a specific topic on your web site.
People will visit your web site to read the free ebooks and may see your product ad.

3. Allow people to download software or e-books from your web site at no cost.
Just ask your visitors in return if they'll refer their friends to your web site.

4. Turn part of your web site into a member’s only web site.
Instead of charging for access, use it as a free bonus for one of your products.

5. Add a free classified ad section to your web site.
You could then trade banner ads with other web sites that have free classified ad sections.

6. Build up the number of people that join your free affiliate program quickly by temporally offering your product for free to the people that sign up.

7. Create two versions of your e-zine so people can choose if they want ads included with it or not. This'll attract the people who hate ads to subscribe.

8. Sell advertising space in your product package. 
You could sell inserts, flyers, brochures, booklets, and digital ads for electronic products.

9. Publish your e-zine only on your web site.
Have people subscribe to a "new issue" e-mail reminder.  This could really increase your traffic and sales.
