Hey students, here are some great part-time small business ideas to earn you extra money. You no longer have to be penniless or bother mom and dad every time you need money.

It is a reality that students are known for being cash-strapped most of the time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With a little wise thinking, a little hard work and determination, part-time business can be a solution. Here are some opportunities I would recommend to the student. These businesses can be started with little or no capital and require little or no training. They almost certainly produce extra income and can be sold after the student graduates and begins full-time work.

Type Service

Provide typing service to other students. Offer to type their assignments, abstracts, thesis etc.

Automatic Detail

If you have a taste for graphics and design and you love cars, then you might consider offering a detailed service to vehicle owners. In addition to putting on amazing graphics, you could also detail company vehicles and trucks by putting up logos, signs or advertisements.

Automatic Protection / Car Sound Installation

If you are proficient in electronics and sound, you can consider this a very lucrative opportunity. You can get alarm units or sound equipment directly from the manufacturer or wholesaler and put a small remark on it if you like, but your best income would be from the actual installation.

Tutor

If you are really good at a certain subject, you can teach school children in your area. You could either do that at their home or yours. You will pay an hourly rate.

Babysitter / Nanny / Elderly Care

Babysitting is an old part-time opportunity although it is still very popular and highly demanded by parents who need some time. This is suitable for females.

A housekeeper is someone who will live and take care of a house while the owners are away. This would be suitable for the guys because girls may be afraid to live alone in a house.

Care for the Elderly

This involves doing some household chores, taking food, taking the elderly for medical checks, and so on. You need to be a caring, patient person with a lot of compassion for this opportunity.

Garden service

This can be a great and lucrative opportunity if two or more students come together. You would probably need a picker for this and some basic garden equipment. Maybe you could borrow Dad’s for a while – with his permission, of course.

Pool Service

Similar to the above, except you will concentrate on taking care of a pool.

Handyman Servo

Here you will do strange jobs for housewives who are too lazy to do it themselves. Things like fixing the door, leaking taps, changing door, painting and so on.

Disc jockey

If you have an enthusiasm for music, have an excellent album collection of music, and possess mixing skills, then you might consider providing a mobile disco service for parties, birthdays, school functions, and so on.

Journal Recycling

Collect old newspapers from your neighborhood and sell them to a newspaper recycling factory. You can expand this business by making old aluminum soda / beer cans as well.

Leaflet Distribution

You could do a flyer distribution service for businesses in your area. You could hire part-time children to help you with the actual distribution.

Garage Sale Organizer

You can organize and operate garage sales on behalf of homeowners who are too busy or lazy to do it themselves. The sale will be made on site and you take a percentage of all sales successfully completed. You also pay an arrangement fee.

Photoservo

If you are good with a camera, then this opportunity might be for you. Take pictures of people and children in places like malls, resorts, little league games, and so on.

Pulmonary market

If you have something to sell that is truly unique as a creation of your own, then you could be extremely successful if you set up a booth at a trail in your area.

Delivery Service

Many businesses, especially pharmacies and fast food outlets, contract their deliveries. Visit a few and offer your services to them.

Study Guides / Textbook Rental

If you have old study guides or textbooks you have finished, you can rent them to students who can’t afford to buy them.

Sign Writing Service

If you are great with graphics, then you could offer to make all sorts of signs for businesses. This includes work on glass stores.

These are just a few lucrative ideas that I think you might want to consider. Take a look at the list, decide what you like, plan and get started. Good luck.
