students can do to earn an income while studying to garner their degree
qualifications. Jumia Travel shares 6 helpful tips for making money as a
student:
Whatever skill you have, offer it as a service to people at a
cost. If you are good at cooking, considering providing catering services to
those in need of it at a reasonable cost. If you are good at sewing, considering
making clothes for people at a cost. If you’re good at phone or computer repairs
and maintenance, also consider providing this service to people at a cost. You
only need to ensure that you market your skills well, and put yourself out there
so people can see what you have to offer. You can also sell your services on
online sites like Fiverr, Jumia Food etc.
Do Freelance Writing For
Blogs or Businesses
If you’re good at writing, you can consider doing
freelance writing for blogs as one way of earning an income as a student. Aside
blogs, many businesses are looking for freelance writers to help them meet their
writing and content creation needs, so you can take advantage of this and apply
for freelance jobs with these businesses.
Consider Doing Online Design
Work
For students who consider themselves artists, have a knack for
graphic design and are really good with Coreldraw, Photoshop or other graphic
design software, doing online design work, like making small graphics for
advertisements and full site redesigns for websites and businesses, can be a
great way to earn an income. Students can also consider entering design
competitions that offer monetary awards for winners, and stand a chance to get
paid a good amount of money if they win.
Consider Becoming a
Voice-Over Artist
Doing voice-over work for production companies and
advertising agencies is another great way to earn an income as a student. If you
have a great voice and some broadcasting talent, you can apply for voice-over
opportunities and get paid doing voice-over work for people and
businesses.
Do Printing Jobs
Considering the fact that
students, especially university students, do a lot of printing work, you can set
up a mini-printing business with an easily affordable deskjet printer whose inks
can be easily refilled, and start printing for students at your own rates. You
can set up this business close to any student’s hostel or even from your room,
and be on your way to making some side income as a student.
Real
Estate/House Agent
As a student, if you are conversant with your
locality, you can use your free time to search for accommodation for freshers
and fellow students in your school environment, charging them a
commissions/agents fee for your service.
