Continuously needed to make automated revenue as an understudy on grounds without influencing your investigations? Today, we will impart to you more than 30 awesome business thoughts for understudies in Nigeria.

Why will students want to make money while in school? It’s simple, students living away from their family have to spend money for their personal upkeep including feeding and accommodation. They also have to take care of planned and unplanned daily expenses in school which includes photocopying of school materials and payment of membership dues of student bodies to belong to.
Making extra money in addition to what was given to them by parents/sponsors will help lessen the burden on their sponsors, and most importantly help the students keep savings.

Let us state here that this post is not for those students that are just looking for extra money to buy 72 Inch plasma tv for a one room apartment or waste money on other frivolities in the name of living lavish lifestyle on campus. We will soon write another article exposing the various ways students waste money on campus and how it can be saved. Don’t fail to bookmark this site and always visit for interesting articles.
Photography
Students love to take photographs especially the newbies. There is also an almost constant demand for passport photographs in many higher institutions in Nigeria. The photography business is a very profitable one and all you basically need is a digital camera, no matter how small it is, to get started. You can even sell beautifully captured random pictures of places and events online.
Graphic Design
If you are very good with Coreldraw, Photoshop or other graphic design softwares, this is big business opportunity for you as there are always activities/events on campuses which require posters and fliers for promotion. Your work will speak for you and you will continue to get clients from far and near.
You can also be contracted to design yearbooks and basically anything that require great designs.
Online Registrations
If you have a laptop with internet access, you can assist fellow students with online registrations (Scholarship applications, School fees payment, admission regularization, course registration etc.) and charge a token for the services. This is quite lucrative especially at the beginning of semesters and when there are prospective/new students on campus.
Printing
Students do a lot of printing work. You can start up this business by getting any of the cheap deskjet printers whose inks can easily be refilled without completely changing the cartridge. You can start this up in any students’ hostel and from your room, that way you won’t have to pay for any space. All you need is disciplined and cooperative roommates.
If you have the time, you can also typeset students projects and assignments at your own rates.
Organizing Tutorial Classes
If you are good in any particular course or courses, you can start a tutoring business targetting your junior colleagues especially first year students in your department/faculty. You may choose to hold the classes on weekends only and charge per class attended. You can also hold this tutorial classes for secondary school students in your area.
In addition, you may solve past questions papers and sell to students who are always eager to buy great materials.
Home Tutoring
You can hold private classes for secondary school students / staff kids. Parents in the university community and its environs value education a lot and are always willing to pay a good teacher who could properly coach their wards on subjects of interest at home. Private classes are usually billed on hourly basis. You just have to workout a timetable that will be suitable for you and your client.
You can also record video of you teaching various topics and sell to the students.
Do Assignments for Lazy Students on Campus
Believe it or not, there are students on campus that are so lazy they are willing to pay any amount of money for their assignments to be done for them. You can take advantage of this and make cool cash while also learning new things. Double win for you!
However, you don’t have to be doing much of what is outside your discipline no matter how intelligent you are as you will spend much time on researching new materials which could affect your studies.
Laundry Services
Students on campuses love to look good, but mostly feel tired to do their laundry. If you are diligent and hardworking, you can make good money from this. It just takes doing the laundry for few of your friends and they will keep bringing others for you.
You can hire a trusted local resident to assist you when the work load becomes much.
House Cleaning and Painting
Students moving into new apartments sometimes require help with cleaning and painting of the new place. You can offer these services and make money doing them. If you are also good with special wall pattern designs using paints, it will be an added advantage as students who can afford it and love to live in beautiful looking apartments will surely pay for it.
Real Estate/House Agent
If you are very conversant with your locality, you can use your spare time to search for accommodation for fellow students, especially freshers in the school environment. You can make money here via commissions/agent fees.
Fitness Instructor
If you are the type that is enthusiastic about body building, you can become a Gym Instructor and Personal Trainer while still doing your regular workouts. You can make good money from this as many young people love to look good and fit. Being a body builder yourself, you will always attract people that wish to look like you. If you have up to 20 persons requiring your service, you could be making N2000 to N4000 each time you go to the gym while charging N100 to N200 per session of training.
You don’t even have to own a standard gym to do this, you can just negotiate with a gym owner or just arrange a makeshift gym with irons joined together in your area.
Don’t forget to always follow safety precautions.
Event Planner
If you know your onions about event planning, you can make cool money from this as you will always be called upon by departments and organizations looking to organize memorable events.
Music DJ services
If you have passion for music, you can download any music DJ application on your laptop, learn how to use it and you are in business. There is always demand for DJs for the almost regular parties and events in school.
MC / Comedian
If you can make people laugh and can also speak eloquently, just learn the rudiments of being a Master of Ceremony via the internet and you are good to go. Just like DJs, MCs are always requested for in events. Your first successful hosting of an event, may be at a friend’s birthday party, is enough to get you referrals.
Modelling
This is one opportunity that does not require much from you other than to show up for photo shoots to promote particular brands and get paid. However, this is an industry that has been so bastardized lately. Many people has been exploited and taken advantage of in the process of trying to be a model. We advise you “shine your eyes” or find something else.
Search for on-campus Jobs
Periodically, there are part time job openings for students on campus. For instance, some school libraries offer and opportunities for “shelve keepers” – their job is to go to the library every evening and re-arrange accordingly the books used earlier in the day by students in the library. There are also opportunities for Students Journalists. In the Records departments, students are periodically employed to help sort old students records. Even the security department can have jobs for Student Informants.
You just need to have few staff friends to inform you whenever such opportunities comes up.
Search for After School hours Jobs
If you can manage your time very well, you can apply for job at places that require you working only in the evenings when you must have finished your daily activities in school. E.g. Bar, Car wash etc.
Web Design/Development
You can learn how to build websites or blogs and make money offering the service.
There is market for you both in the campus and beyond. You can reach out to departments, student associations, fellowships groups etc. and offer your services to them.
Blogging
Last but not the list, Blogging. You must have heard about blogging and how lucrative it can be. You must have also heard about bloggers like Linda Ikeji and the millions she is making from her blog.
It is actually no longer that very easy to make money from blogging, but with the right guide, you too can tap from the ever evolving blogging gold mine. Our next post will be on blogging and how you can successfully make money through it.
