Get information others dont have, then exchange it for money. Discover the everyday needs of ur fellow students and try your best to provide them, then comes the cash flow.

Hi guy. I like your courage. If you are living in a city/town in Imo State, you can offer car washing service at people's homes or in their respected location. You can also start a laundry business by washing people's clothes in your home. You can also offer your services to Students and Lecturers in your School. Guy you may see these two business ideas as a dirty jobs that is going to belittle you in the Campus. Don't look it like that. If you are interested in these two businesses, I will share you more tips that that can help you get started. Show interest first, then I will keep the ball rolling...

Okay, these are the tips. First and foremost, you need to print an attractive fliers stating the services you render and include your contact information e.g phone number(s), email address, et al. If you want to win the heart of your potential clients/customers, give your business a name and have a logo for your business. Let your business name be sweet, easy to remember, and also stand out from the crowd. In short, build a brand image and a brand name for your business. Give your brand a simple phrase. For example, MTN has 'everywhere you go', glo has 'rule your world' etisalat has 'now you're talking', et al. Do you get my drift? For the car wash business, you are offering a mobile car wash because you will go to people's locations(homes, offices, parks, et al) to clean their cars. If you have the charisma, you can go ahead to wash tippers, man diesel, covered body trucks. You can also offer your services to car dealers in your area(if there's any) because car dealers always require the services of a mobile car wash to clean cars in their fleets so that it will be neat at all times to their potential clients/customers. You can even go ahead to have uniform for your business and have your brand name and image on it with your contact information. I am about to go to bed now. I will be sharing more tips tomorrow. Good night.

The easiest business a students can do in school is retailing. I will say order from China but again it can be pretty stressful. I will advice you to order stuffs from website like www.bayaboss.com and retail. They sell stuffs in wholesale. It's quite profitable for a student. Dats Wat I do.

For the dry cleaning business, just do thesame as the tips I shared for the mobile car wash business. One idea you can add to the dry cleaning business is this; dress in a corporate way and go advertise your business to busy individuals, busy executives, busy professionals in your area. Offer pickup and delivery service. Collect dirty clothes from your clients and take it an already established dry cleaning firm for cleaning. Put on uniform when you are on business. Price your service well and you will be smiling to the bank.

Look for a PROBLEM in the everyday student life, things they can PAY you to solve for them. Start small, charge them more than it cost you to produce the service.

Shikena!
