There is nothing as bad as running out of money in the midst of the semester. Regardless of how properly planned your budget is, emergencies are bound to happen. In such cases, you will need to have an escape plan. In the beginning, you can ask a friend or family to bail you out. Borrowing, however, doesn't always have to be the trend. There are so many genuine ways you can make money as a student.
Start a computer services shop
This is one way that you can generate reasonable income. It is cheap and easy to start. Services that you can offer in this shop include printing, photocopying, scanning and typesetting. You will agree with me that not many students like typing their assignments. If you are good at typing, then you can collect a lot of money from such students. In the shop, you can also keep commonly used stationery such as books, pens, foolscaps among many others.
Selling of old college notes
This may not happen as a freshman, but as you progress, you will have notes from previous years. You can generate good money from selling these to your juniors. You can add selling past papers to supplement money gotten from selling records.
Open a coffee/snack shop
Not all students are fans of taking meals in the student mess. If your college students’ center has space, ask the management for some space and start making coffee and snack. This will generate you a lot of money and especially when students are relaxing.
Open a movie shop
You will agree with me that there is nothing students love more than watching movies. Get a router and good internet connection and blank DVDs. Download latest movies, series and songs and burn them on CDs. Trust me; your video shop will be jammed and especially over the weekends and immediately after CATs.
Online jobs
Online today has provided a very suitable platform to make money. There are so many platforms and post types that you can try out. Some of these include data entry, transcription, writing, web designing, graphics design, networking and virtual assistance among many others. If you have a passion or knowledge on either of these, then you can supplement your semester income through one.
These among many others are ways that you can make money as a student. Keep your pockets full throughout the semester without having to beg or take loans.
