12 Lucrative Student friendly businesses you should start #businessinsight

One of the fastest growing and best paying businesses in the world overtime has always been and is still one that has something to do with the student’s populace. Starting any student related or friendly business has a hand full of benefits to mention a few, Students make up a greater percentage of active potential customers,  so that guarantees a ready customer base in good numbers anytime, students money is easiest to collect, of course they don’t think twice before spending, after all, who do they have to cater for much more than themselves?,  student mostly pay in cash, whatever students are involved is always interesting and phenomenal because of the enthusiasm and boost they bring.

Whether you are an under-graduate, post-graduate student or even yet to be student, and your heart is set on starting or switching to something that will be rolling in those cool blocks of “cheda” in the nearest future, here are a number of student friendly businesses we want to tap your back at that will work that trick for you whether you are a student, intending student or even not.

Straight up, in no particular order,

1.      A4 paper business. This business is in two phases, 1, production and 2, supply. You can venture into the production aspect of it or into the supply aspect of it, any of both is very OK. A4 paper is used everywhere, on or off campus. The big catch of this business is that it’s one that has no season; it is an all-year rounder business. Photocopy, typing and printing makes this business very lucrative on the grounds that paper will never be enough for use for those purposes at least not in your time. So just imagine yourself in the center of this business being responsible for either the production or the supply of A4 paper to these loads of ready-waiting consumers. You can only imagine.

2.     Emergency agency. Emergency is any situation that needs urgent attention. Every now and then you have one emergency or another. Student related emergency is one that requires swifter action and this is where you come in to help and get paid for it. Just figure out whatever it is that demands emergency attention and up you go!.

3.      Recharge card service: Recharge card will never be enough for use; of-course trust your service providers and those ladies’ voices that will always tell you “your account is too low for this call, please load a recharge card. But you can upbeat your strategy by not just operating as the regular printing and supplying and you can as well a operate a bit differently  from the normal “ buy your recharge card here” pattern of recharge card businesses you have around. (although of course that’s like the major aspect of it basically) but you can try some other superb strategies like Voucher transfers,  N50 credit  units, printing and selling seminars, air time topping or top ups etc. If you are interested in recharge card printing business, can let you in and show you around.

4.      Casual renting: people, mostly Students don’t always have everything they need. Mind you, on campus, even off campus,  virtually everything is rent-able from textbooks to notebooks to laptops to shoes to hand bags to projector system to sound system to music instruments to chairs to canopies etc, you can opt in to be the one casual-renting out these items for your pay.

5.      Play station and games center: Here lies most of the young minds you have around, they wish to express their prowess, and competitive ability in play and games with friends and sometimes they may even set and make money from each other while you also make your own. So create a center for them to come have this fun, make it open and attractive and you can possibly buy their hearts with this_ they will pay you!.

6.      Mobile Gym and workout service: students love to work out and stay fit especially at this time of their lives to look that s3xy to their opposite counterparts but sadly, most campuses do not have these workout kits readily available in good numbers for them and they may  not even have the extra interest of having to schedule workout sessions off campus maybe because of academic workload or other reasons,  so running a business that bring them this service say twice a week, maybe mid-weeks and weekends Just to help them stay fit, and maybe you may even  opt to mobilize them to the gym or your gym kits to them  any which way, you sure will hit your mark with time.

7.      “I do it for you” service:  This is kind of a delivery service. Students need things done at ease but most time, it doesn’t happen easily so if you opt to be the middle man to bring them service as at when they need it, then your reward may just be getting too much with time. (See some of the things students may want you to do for them here>>)Laundry, shoe mending, assignment, project work, go to shop for them, go fix their fan, go change their cupboard padlock, etc

8.      Mobile tutorial service: Some students are acing at some courses and some are trailing, it’s a normal thing so just gather as many of those trailing ones and form a mobile tutorial service for them and be the one to turn things around for them and they will pay your bills. But do it differently, other tutorial houses are situated off campus and immobile, and trust some students, they can be so lazy at times, they just can’t spare such special time for those distant tutorials classes, so you, take it to them, make yours mobile, make it flexible, you can alternate the time to suit them, you can even take your tutoring online, yes, online, they will like it, they love going there,  online is “students’ common room”, even the laziest ones will prefer to go online for learning from the comfort of their bed or room rather than walk to anywhere for any Tom tutorial, Just create a blog for your tutoring service.(we can help you set up a blog in 20 minutes, if you need it just contact Eddie here) so there!, you get a paying job!.

9.      Mini research center: Somehow like a custody but not really like the conventional library because you don’t necessarily have to need stacking and shelving all the books in this world, all you just need do is provide some modern, comprehensive and relevant study and research materials and make it readily available for those research project students anytime they need it and you can even assist them personally on whatever it is they are researching and negotiate your pay.

10.  Micro loans and money renting service: No one student that I know will hear that your loan services attract collateral will wait to listen till you finish, that word collateral is irritating, collateral drives people away so how about you just start out lending some little amount of monies to needy students without collateral and wait to see your fortune unfold when more of other people hear that your loan service is collateral free, its then and only then you’ll see them show interest in whatever it is you have to offer. And maybe sometime later you can understandably introduce collateral (that is when you must have had enough loyalists).

11.  Alcohol-free club house: You know students likes to “turn up” by weekends, Fridays especially no matter the odds right?, yes, TGIF is their best weekend exclamation, so you can start that hub for them to be coming around for their weekend groove but make it strictly alcohol free, many of them will like it that way and you will have a wider range of customers. You can also entice them with student’ price gate fee and discounts and then you are ready to start counting your blessings. The plus side of this business is that you don’t need all the money in the bank to start it, it’s mostly night affairs so all you just need is somewhere in a secure open space, provide a shade and good music and sound system, there!, that is all they need- to listen to good music, dance and have fun with friends. Except that you might want to stay ahead of other competitors by putting a touch of class to your spot later (which that may happen much later when you might have generated enough resources to foot that), it is not necessarily necessary  at the start-out phase except you have the money and you just want to.

12.  Mobile data business/ Internet services:  Online is every student’ “common room”. Just create the awareness that you offer cheaper rate for mobile data plans way cheaper than what their network providers do. Something like 20% off and you sure will get a good catch. Students needs unlimited data plans to aid them do all those plenty things they like to do online, be it assignment, project work or just normal leisure net-browsing but unfortunately, that seems not possible, at least not yet so this is where your service is needed to somehow make them think that it’s possible and they will love you for it while you are just there making your money. You can even create a “Wifi” spot for them, just make it “a pay per hour browsing spot”, or any how you would want to regulate it. You don’t need to believe when I say you’ll make fine money but that’s true.

You want to try something.
