Though academic work can be so demanding and time consuming, nevertheless there are still various things students can embark on earn extra cash on campus.
It will still be a worthy experience if we can earn extra cash by doing things which doesn't require much stress or in any way demeaning.

1. Learn the most paying skill:

Though most people might just advice you learn a skill, but not all skills can be learned within a short period of time. However, there are still some you can learn within two weeks or three and you start earning from it. Examples are Graphics design,baking,front end web design and so on

2. Work as a freelancer:

This is pretty easy to set up provided you are really ready to make more money. Who is a Freelancer? A freelancer is someone who is skilled in a particular field and works for different company and people without necessarily being employed by them.
Your skilled area can be writing, editing,translation,photography, web design,illustrating and so on. So what are you skilled at, or what skill do you want to learn. There are also some online company that uses the services of freelancers like fiverr, upwork and freelancing.com. You can check them up and make your decision.

3. Blogging:

Though this has been really abused because of the "copy and paste" bloggers we have now. But you can still make it in this field if you are going to be writing unique content and using the right keywords. It doesn't require any previous experience, but requires little or no capital and hardwork . To get started, pick your niche and set up your blog. If you need help on how to set up a blog, browse through the webmaster section.

4. Computer business center : Do you have a laptop? If yes, you are good to go, all you have to do is make an arrangement with a shop owner on campus and lend a photocopying machine for the main time. Set up a business centre and stat helping students with their registration and photocopying jobs. Though, can be time consuming but still worth it.



5. Making yourself available:
This works with the first two point I've given. Let say you don't really know how to do a certain stuff like logo design, but somehow somehow, you got the job to design a logo for a friend or anyone, the trick is never say "I can't do it" Just go learn how to do it. It is all over the internet. Yes! This has really worked for me. You can also help lazy students with their assignment and get paid.

6. Make up artiste:

There's actually no weekend without one or two occasions, we all want to look good and adorable, this is a good opportunity for make up artiste,it easy and simple to execute. You get to make a lot especially if you are good at it. You can try this out and see the results yourself.

7. Fashion designer:

Though this is not easy to learn and takes time before one becomes an expert. For those who are good is sewing, you can actually make a living from it on campus, all you have to do is get your friends to know about what you do and do them well. It is profitable and rewarding as well.

Do have a wonderful academic section

Dry cleaning job, this one might be demanding tho...but it will very good if you school in a place like nekede where they run morning and evening programme.

Nice one op but it seems most of then above solutions are for males.

How about females they need stuff like these more though.

on point bro. thanks for contributing

I wish I did number 1. No one even opened my eyes to it. There were opportunities to learn auto cad or video editing. Believe me, no skill is a waste. As a matter of fact, the more you learn, the more you increase your capacity to earn.
But number two is so super cool, especially the writing aspect. You can earn in three hours of writing what some people earn in a day or two, provided you're good at what you do.
I keep repeating it to students, strive to earn some money for yourself. Stop depending on the money they send you from home. That thing is ephemeral compared to a woman's period. In a day or two, that money is basically gone, especially when you have to cater for your feeding and other academic materials you need. The benefits are enormous!

You have written well bro, having extra source of income on campus is supercool

Nice write up.......
