ü Giving Tutorials/Helping out with projects and assignment

Are you super smart but still broke? You can organise tutorials and get paid for it. Organizing tutorials especially for freshmen is very juicy.. Freshers are still naive to a lot of things, creating tutorials for them will rake in cash for you trust me. All you need to do is get a group of people who are just like you. Giving tutorials and helping out with assignments is like the easiest way to make money as a student in Nigeria if you are smart So many final year students need people to help them with their projects or it could even be a group project, offer to help, the moment people realise your value ,they will start calling you.


ü Become a freelancer/freelance writing

This is one cool way to make money as a student in Nigeria but many people discard it.How well can you write? Why don’t you try connecting with people on the internet ,there are so many sites in need of writers. From the comfort of your room you can make so much cash.

ü Whatsapp Tv

To own a whatsapp you need data. Instead of you wasting your data on Instagram or youtube ,you can start a whatsapp tv, over time after you’ve built a large number of contacts you can start advertising.

ü Blogging ,Vlogging & Affliate Marketing

Blogging,Vlogging,Affliate Marketing and let me add one more thing “Content Marketing”

Let me guess , you are like what is this guy saying? Let me break it down.

A blog(link) is a discussion or information website ,it consists of web pages. The major difference between a website and a blog is , a blog(weblog) is constantly updated.

Vlogging comes from the words Video and Blogging. So who is a Vlogger ? A Vlogger is someone who makes Videos and posts them online e.g on youtube. It is always in form of a tutorial or it could be a new phone review..People are making lots of cash through it. You can read up more about it online.

Affliate Marketing just simply means ,you connecting with a company to help them sell their products, that’s why many bloggers engage in affiliate marketing cos they already have an avenue to sell.

Content Marketing Simply means you selling something you know that others don’t.

I am a blogger and I am proud of it, now I call myself a Ceo , lol cos that’s what I am. Most bloggers in Nigeria are students or started blogging as a student e.g Naijaloaded etc

You see those ads flying around my site? That’s how I make my cash. You can to by connecting with me using the comment box. You can also advertise your products on my site by using the official contact form here, above all reasonable doubt I can prove to you that Blogging is a way to make money as a student in Nigeria

Please read,why students should blog

Find a niche you are good at and start blogging

ü Become an Agent(Housing Agent,Jumia Agent)

Jumia is like the no1 online shop in Africa right now and as their business expands they are always in need of agents. What do the agents do? They just help people make payments for people and they help Jumia get more customers

You can also be an housing agent, housing agents make a lot of cash in school.

Infact to me it is the no 1 way to make money as a student in Nigeria

ü Recharge Card Business

I am sure you have seen this severally, when I said recharge card business I didn’t mean selling cards like everyone does but making it totally online. You can start with as low as #5000. This is one huge way to make money as a student in Nigeria.

ü Dropshipping

Drop shipping is a very lucrative business and the sad thing is, so many people are yet to know about it.A lot of people purchase things on Alieexpress,Amazon, and so and so forth. Now instead of buying that phone or bad or shoe from Lagos ,you can buy it directly from China. So many students have made it doing this and I personally know one student who has made it through dropshipping and she is even a lady.

ü Social Media Influencer

A social media influencer is basically a popular figure on the internet. I don’t k now whether to call them Social media bloggers or just simply influencers , there is one popular Instagram blogger, Tunde Ednut(Although not a student he has made it in his own way. There are many Social Media Influenecers around, I can name some in my school that have made it in their own way,Shybloger Pr , he even recently got signed by Opera news hub(link)etc .

How do they make their money? People pay them money to make their businesses or anything trend . This is probably the coolest way to make money as a student in Nigeria.

Here we have it, blogging works for me , try to find out what will work for you, please don’t try not to be a jack of all trades.

Nigeria is in a sorry state that is why you need to find a way, don’t do things the same way and expect a change.

Consistency and Hardwork is Key to making money as a student in Nigeria , even if you can do all the 10 ways to make money as a student in Nigeria I listed, you will still be broke. Are you not tired of playing bet9ja or depending on that broke boy or you want to do yahoo? Yahoo boys also work hard!
