2. Starting Popcorn Business

Don’t laugh at this one, because if you do, you would be the ignorant one. Popcorn business has proven to be a very lucrative business over time,

and that’s due to how easy it is to get started, and how large a market available for it just about everyone eats popcorn!

One major reason to start popcorn business as an NYSC Corper member (outside the fact that there is a vast market for it)

is that raw materials for popcorn business is readily available; and wherever your PPA might be, it really shouldn’t be a barrier to starting the popcorn business.

And if you’re worried about capital, you would be happy to know that it requires very little capital.

As you do all of these, be sure to carry out your feasibility studies in the area where you want to operate in and make sure that is done before starting out.

3. Conducting Private Lessons

Another popular way to make money as a youth corps member is by conducting private lessons; How To Make Money As A NYSC CORPER

every other person is into it, so it makes it all the more recommendable. Up to N40,000 can be made monthly, alongside the allowance that’s received.

One way to go about it by lobbying for recommendations; link up with outgoing corps members ,

tell them to recommend you to the parents of the wards they were tutoring before, so you can pick up from where they’ve left off.

If you impress them with your job, you might just be able to earn a side hustle needed to augment your allowance;

find a time that’s convenient for you, so you don’t wear yourself out on the job.

4. Doing “handy” Jobs

You need to ask yourself, “am I skilled with tools?” if you think you can answer the question in affirmative, then there’s an avenue to make some money.

You could be great at satellite cable TV installations, flat screen TV mounting, and thing like that, and you would be surprised

that these could earn you some substantial money (imagine making 5,000 to 8,000 naira for every installation you make, that really cool, if you ask us!)

It could be plumbing, Cobbling, or even bag making; if it solves people’s needs, and they’re willing to pay for it, then it’s worth the shot.

5. Using your talent

You would discover (sooner or later) that you’ve got talent for something, and there comes a time you’ll have to use that talent to make some money for yourself.

So it you think have talents in writing, interior decoration, hairdressing, and so on, go for it! - make money as a NYSC Corper

Pastry business is also one such business that requires low capital, and a substantial market potential.

Cupcakes, doughnuts, pie are some of the confectioneries you can make and sell. You might be worried about finding the market for your goods,

but the thing is, insofar you’re a corps member, there is market for you (the universe is working together for your good),

unless you find yourself in the remotest area of the country, and even then, once you can find at least a school,

then you’ve found your market. - business ideas for nysc corper

7. Bead Making

Some people might think Bead making is kinda niche, and that it’s not as mainstream or as much of a money-spinner as some other businesses.

We’ll have you know that you can earn a decent living from bead making, even as a Corper.

Once you’ve gotten around learning the art, you can try to build a customer base and impress them with your bead making skills.

You could also make money, by teaching others what you know about bead making.

However, ensure you are versed in the fundamentals and the nitty-gritty of the art before you embark on bringing people together to teach them the art.

The basic requirements for bead making are:

Bead Design board
Metal strings (or fishing line)
Wire cutters
Tape
Scissors
Pins
Clasps
A variety of beads etc.

One would see how easy most of these materials are to come by; start-up capital is really low, therefore, it’s really nice to consider bead making, if you can.

Necklace
Waist belt
Bracelets
Handbags
Rings
Wrist watch etc.

8. Savings

This is not a business idea (obviously), but a concept that could really help, if you plan to make money in the nearest future. - make money as a NYSC Corper

Based on the principle that “saving begets investment”, saving is quite important, if you want to go into a business later on.

You can save from the allowance you get for being a Corper (it’s small, but figure out how much you can save that won’t harm your survival.

You can also save the external funds you receive, either from family and friends, or a business you’ve been doing before.

Make saving goals; be it monthly or weekly, and at the end of the year, you would be pleased to find that you have a decent amount of money in savings.

Then you can proceed to invest into a venture that you think is most profitable for you.

9. Starting thrift savings with (trusted) friends

Thrift savings can be a way to accumulate some money while still a Corper. It would work best if you get yourself 10 friends

(can be less, but should not be more), and agree on a monthly payment (which could be fixed, or arbitrated by a percentage of money earned).

Payment of the total money contributed is then made to individual members in a particular order;

a member who has received his tranche of the contribution would then be required to continuously pay the agreed amount for an agreed amount of time.

This usually gives the chance to make investments with the money received.

how to make extra money during service year

However, the efficacy of this particular concept is based on the level of responsibility of the participating members;

find yourself people and friends you trust (and ensure that they don’t exceed 10, as that might introduce conflict)

Becoming a personal trainer

While it might not be popular (in fact, it’s the least popular of the aforementioned ideas), it’s still a avenue for making money.

You may find yourself in a neighbourhood where there are people who are in need of (and are willing to pay for) a fitness trainer.

Obviously, you need to be fit yourself before anyone can take you seriously, or at least, be athletically-oriented, as this gives an easy edge.

Doing Research/Projects for tertiary institution students

It’s very obvious that, for anyone who is currently in the NYSC programme, he/she must have passed through a tertiary institution.

Given that fact, it means he/she understand that there is a need amongst the finalists of several institutions and that need could be met by him/her.

Students of tertiary institutions (especially outgoing ones) would have to carry out research work/Project before they can be cleared for graduation; and sometimes, they do need help with it.

That leaves a business opportunity open for you, to key in and make money solving that need.

You could organise a student consultancy service in schools you’re serving in (provided you’re serving in a tertiary institution, of course) for a fee.

Enlightened students who would go the extra mile in getting knowledge that would benefit their future would patronise you.

Then you could help out with projects and charge between 50,000 and 200,000 naira, depending on the technicality and complexity of the said project.

The outlook of this business idea is really positive, as you can make lots and lots of money; depending on how hardworking and dedicated you’re willing to be.

Besides, just put in the work, and it would speak for itself, and you would get the necessary recognition and exposure you need.

b]Summing up
[/b]
There are so much business ideas available to an NYSC Corper, and there are several avenues of making

legitimate money in Nigeria in one year (if one knows what he/she is doing).

One of the most important thing to do before anything else, is to study the immediate environment,

and seek out people’s needs and find out ways which they can be solved.

Then create a business model that would solve people’s needs and at the same time bring in profit.

You’ll also need to understand that you need to imbibe certain virtues in order to succeed in business (or anything else in life).

Some of these virtues are hard work, dedication, perseverance, and so on.

It is important to pay attention to these virtues, as they determine how far one would go in any business endeavour.

Then, there’s the place of God in all of these dealings, as He has the final say. Success and Failure of a business happens because he wills it so;

thus, it is pertinent to seek Him out, even after all the preparations have been made. As they say “man proposes, God disposes.”
