Welcome to another interesting morning section on Dailyguide Business column, this morning I will like us to look at an important aspect of our business life.


One the biggest challenges of students is financial constraints, there are always a few things to pay for at different times of your study in school. The need to keep yourself in a good state of being is also a necessity and often times, the pocket money is not just a match to the bills on ground.

Today, I will be sharing some business ideas for students on campus. Where necessary, I will also be sharing the stories of friends who did such businesses while we were in school.

Course, school fees and scholarship registrations

I place this as my number 1 business idea for students on campus, why? It is still a money-spinner. One will think with the proliferation of cheap internet this business will fade but it hasn’t. Some students don’t just have the time to sit down and start registering for courses. Even those that have the time, prefer not to be frustrated by their school’s slow web portal. I had a few friends in this business and they did pretty well.

Another plus about this business is that you get to know many people. A network built from here could be of help many years after graduation. A tip in this business is to have someone working with/for you, maybe another student. This is because there are peak times when the jobs will just be too much for only one person to handle.

What you’ll need: Laptop, good internet supply, printer/scanner/photocopier, generator (optional).

2. Typing of assignments/projects, photocopying and scanning

This can be done in line with the business above. However, if you don’t have the internet you can start with just typing and photocopying first. A relative of mine did this business and was able to raise money for his OND project. Apart from the money raised, his typing speed increased dramatically which is a good skill in any office setting.

What you’ll need: Laptop, printer, printer/scanner/photocopier

3. Printing on shirts/jerseys

Campuses have organisations that will need printed shirts from time to time. Departments and faculties may also need customised shirts. All you have to do is negotiate a price, agree on the design then meet a printer. My good friend still does this business to make extra money today. He started it in the university. As an Aba boy, he had contacts who were into shirt printing. In school, he steadily pitched his business to campus fellowships and students. It paid off.

What you’ll need: Nothing else apart from you.

4. Tutorial services


If you’re blessed with a sharp brain you may want to consider tutorial services. With tutoring, you get to make some money and sharpening your intellect as well. You can target freshers or pre-degree student. Students are willing to pay for a class if they’re confident that the tutor can add to their knowledge.

If you want to take this business to the next level, you can make your own “Past questions and answers” and sell. Some students have gone on to make big money producing and selling past questions.

What you’ll need: Your brain, chalk/markers, past examination questions.

5. Phone repairs
