In recent times, the cost of education has skyrocketed over the roof. While some students of tertiary institutions here in Nigeria may be able to cope with the harsh economic realities, quite a number who have not been able to adjust to the high costs of obtaining quality education have devised means of raising enough capital to take care of their personal and educational needs, as well as giving them enough free time to remain focused on their academic pursuits. In this article, I present to you a list of businesses you can conveniently run as a student that gives you as much time as possible to remain excellent in your studies.
1 AFFILIATE SELLING with the rise of various online retail stores in Nigeria,
a whole new vista of job opportunities has been opened up both directly and indirectly in the Nigerian market. One of such job opportunities which has been embraced by a large number of students in various tertiary academic institutions is the role of affiliate marketers. The function of an affiliate marketer for these companies is to introduce people to virtually any product available on the retail site, get them interested, and make them buy making use of an affiliate link that will be provided to you. For every transaction performed using your link, you get a percentage of the profits on that product. A lot of students have grabbed this opportunity and are doing fine and making a tidy profit recommending the products to their contemporaries. The interesting thing about this line of business is that you do not have to go out of your way to convince people to buy your products as most of the items on demand are those used everyday. So, what are you waiting for?, consider if this business suits your schedule and hurry to the websites of these online marketplace giants and get registered to start selling and earning your way through school.
2 RECHARGE CARD PRINTING Nigerians spend an average of 447.8 billion Naira monthly purchasing recharge cards. This is a huge market and the various telecoms companies have created a leeway from which every Nigerian can tap from. You can start and run a profitable recharge card printing business from the comfort of your room and become a wholesaler and first hand distributor. You however have to be sure of the demand for cards in your area. You can do this by taking a brief survey of the number of retailers in your area. This is necessary as these will be your target market and not the consumers directly. You will also do well to begin to build a good relationship and excellent rapport with these retailers. Hopefully, when you go into the printing of the cards, they will become your biggest customers. When you have put all these in place, avail yourself of any of the numerous free or cheap seminars on recharge card printing where you will be introduced to the basics, as well as taught the various techniques used in the production of cards on a wholesale basis. Also, ensure that you schedule a convenient time to run the business in order for it not to affect your academic performance.
3 NETWORK MARKETING Nigerians shudder at the mention of the word networking. To a lot of people, it is the latest scam in town, while to others, it is seen as an extremely difficult to do task. However, many reputable companies have adopted the network system of marketing as a means to cut cost and improve their marketing reach. Around the world, the network marketing industry is a multi billion dollar market, and here in Nigeria, we are just waking up to the realities. The point you will have to note however before going into network marketing for any company is to consider if that company has a track record of excellence, and if the marketing plan is flexible enough to give you time to focus on the main reason you are in school, which is to get an education.
4 MOBILE MONEY With the recently implemented cashless policy by the central bank, a lot of opportunities have been created. For the discerning student, and especially one who is capable of networking and talking to and convincing a lot of people, this presents a valid business opportunity. To fully implement the cashless policy, a lot of virtual money agents have been licensed by the central bank to carry out cashless transactions. And in order to perform their functions optimally, these agents require the services of people, especially students to act as agents. The functions of these agents include; facilitating cashless transactions, getting more people to sign up to the platform, as well as recruiting fellow students to act as their agents. The good thing about this is that for every of these actions that you perform, you earn handsomely, and you are paid your commissions almost immediately. It would help if you are going into this line of business if you have a good following on any of your social media accounts as this will in turn translate into wider reach and better sales.
So, if you are a student reading this, or you are just about anybody looking for a line of business that would be both convenient for your schedule, as well as offers good incentives, you might want to read and share this with your friends.
Cheers.
