[QUOTE="SteeveJo, post: 157730, member: 17390"] As a student, you may feel stuck for ideas and that the options you have available to you may be limited, but the truth is that you have many opportunities available to you, and just some ideas include the following: [HEADING=2][B]Social media manager[/B][/HEADING] No matter what industry they’re in, every business needs to be active on a variety of social media platforms if they want to experience success. If you are talented in the digital realm of social media, this is a service that you could definitely start offering to business owners. You could also take a few online courses to become versed in social media advertising which would allow you to offer an even more valuable service to local business owners. [HEADING=2][B]Reselling textbooks[/B][/HEADING] The reselling of secondhand textbooks is a great way to make a little extra money as a student. By buying secondhand textbooks from old students and selling them to new ones, you are definitely fulfilling a need that is unique to the university campus. This service could be done online or in person, and there is definitely potential for profit. [HEADING=2][B]Sell clothes on Depop[/B][/HEADING] While selling clothes on Depop may not seem like you’d be able to make a great profit, if you have an eye for style, you could be very successful. You could start by selling your old clothes and then approaching university students to ask if they’d like to sell anything of their own. From there, you could also go looking for fashionable pieces in thrift shops. You’ll be amazed by the profits that you can turn in doing this. [HEADING=2][B]Upcycling[/B][/HEADING] As consumers are becoming more conscious of the environment, upcycling is becoming incredibly popular. By turning ‘junk’ into useful items to sell, you could gain the attention of the ever-growing amount of conscious consumers. Creating a sustainable business through upcycling may prove to be both profitable as well as fulfilling. [HEADING=2][B]Do deliveries[/B][/HEADING] Do you have some sort of vehicle available to you? Why not put it to good use and start a small deliveries company for businesses and restaurants in your local area. The more reliable you are, the more likely you are to gain more clients and improve your driving and delivery skills. You could also charge students that do not have vehicles of their own to give them lifts around town. [HEADING=2][B]Write an ebook[/B][/HEADING] Are you a gifted wordsmith? Do you have knowledge in a particular area? As a student, you are likely to have both a talent with words and a particular knowledge sphere. If so, you have a great opportunity available to you to publish an ebook and sell it online for a profit. [HEADING=2][B]Grow and sell plants[/B][/HEADING] Are you a bit of a green thumb? Did you know that houseplants experienced an exponential demand over the pandemic, and their popularity is still rising? By growing and selling houseplants to students and at markets, and even online, you could enhance your plant knowledge and skills while creating a successful business model. [HEADING=2][B]Pet sitting and house sitting[/B][/HEADING] As a student, you probably have most weekends and evenings free. If you are the responsible type and have a passion for animals, you could start a pet and house sitting business and advertise your services to local pet and homeowners. If your business had to experience quick growth, it would be easy for you to rope in other students to handle double bookings. [HEADING=2][B]Sell crafts and artwork on Etsy[/B][/HEADING] Are you an artsy and crafty person? Do you enjoy creating illustrations, paintings, sculptures, etc.? Why not make money from your skills by selling your crafts on Etsy. It is very easy to do, and if you are someone who enjoys creating, this could be a very fun and exciting business opportunity for you that you could do in your own time. [HEADING=2][B]Become a freelancer[/B][/HEADING] Becoming a freelancer is essentially like starting your own business. Freelancing will allow you to manage your freelance work and university workload, and you should be able to work from the comfort of your home and even on campus. There are many different types of freelancers out there, including graphic designers, copywriters, transcribers, photographers, and so much more. [HEADING=2][B]Run events[/B][/HEADING] Students love events, and there is often a lack of exciting events to go to. By networking with local venues, you could start hosting your very own events and start an events company. You could do games nights, speed dating, entertainment, and so much. Getting involved in events at a young age could open many doors for you at a later stage, even if you start really small! [HEADING=2][B]Offer transcription services for lectures[/B][/HEADING] Are you good at taking notes in lectures? Your fellow students may not be, and they may be willing to pay a small fee for your lecture transcription. Even your lecturers may be interested in these services. What’s great about this is that it doesn’t cost any money or time in your part unless you start transcribing for lectures that are not part of your syllabus. [HEADING=2][B]Sell essential university packages[/B][/HEADING] As a university student, you know which items are absolutely essential to your success and contentedness at university. However, new university students may not be aware of this. By putting together essential university packages and selling them to new students as well as online so that you can access students at other universities, you could turn an impressive profit. [HEADING=2][B]Run a tutoring business[/B][/HEADING] So you’re a student, right? This means that you must have gotten good grades in school and that you’re on your way to becoming an expert in a particular topic. This means that you may have what it takes to become an ideal tutor to school students who may be struggling in certain areas. Furthermore, your fellow students surrounding you are also potential tutors that you could use to help grow your tutoring business and help out other students with some extra pocket money. [HEADING=2][B]Handle student laundry[/B][/HEADING] Not to be stereotypical, but students are often very lazy when it comes to handling their laundry. An excellent business idea would be to collect student laundry and take it down to the laundromat yourself and put a mark upon your services, of course. Better yet, you could invest in a washer and dryer of your own (if you have the means and the space) and have your very own laundry service, with which you could very easily turn a profit. [HEADING=2][B]Create an app[/B][/HEADING] As a student, you should be surrounded by inspiration on a daily basis. Most of your fellow students should be active on a variety of apps. By speaking to students around you, you’ll be able to perform highly effective market research and come up with an app that meets their needs. Developing an app is also something that can be done in your own time and can be a combined effort of multiple parties. Depending on the success of your app, you could make an impressive profit and later look at offering app creation services for other businesses. [/QUOTE]
