Business Ideas For Students

     So you're a student in search of ways to make money because your allowance just isn't enough to take that girl on a date. Here are a couple of low capital businesses you can start in school that won't eat into academic time and cripple your CGPA. 

Find Job

     1. Blogging : This is the first and most basic. You can literally sit in your house all day ( I wouldn't advise you to do that)  behind a computer screen and write your thoughts out on whatever aspect you feel you are comfortable in.  The good thing is that you can do it on any device ( PC or mobile)  and at your own convenience.  How exactly does this bring you cash (or paper or bread or cheese or money) ? The answer here is advertising. Whether your favourite platform is Wordpress or Blogger, there are adverts campaigns ( wordads and adsense respectively) that can pay you for clicks on adverts hosted on your site.  For more information on adsense,  click Here . For wordads,  click Here.

     2. Freelancing : Maybe you don't want all the baggage that comes with blogging,  but you still have a passion for writing, you'll probably be interested in freelance writing.  Here,  you get paid for writing articles for other blogs.  Blog administrators are constantly in search of writers so if you see the opportunity,  take it.  However,  freelancing is not limited to writing alone.  There is a website where customers meet service providers and pay them for their services, it is known as Fiverr . Your pay will depend on what skill you have to offer,  and your level of competence.

     3. Graphic Design : This is as easy as designing images for brands, companies,  etc. There's Photoshop, COREL draw,  Cinema 4d et al. Perhaps you are interested and you do not have the requisite skill, a great place to learn is here.

     4. Photography : There's dignity in labour ( and cash in it too).  It's as simple as getting a digital camera,  taking photos and getting paid for it.  Enough said. 

     5. Buying and Reselling : From Ebay to Aliexpress to OLX to Alibaba and the likes,  you can purchase new or used goods in bulk at a lower price and resell for a profit.  

     6. Organizing Seminars: Here,  you can invite a well known professional to speak and make it a paid entry seminar.  

   Other low cost, time effective means of making money include Tutorials,  jewelry making,  hair dressing,  sewing, fashion,  and web designing.
