Betting: However risky this business is, it’ll sure earn you some paper- esp boys. Betting is one way of earning some dime at campus. Your stake, however, shouldn’t be your tuition or hostel fee. Staking part of upkeep on ‘sure’ wins can earn you some little money (if lady lucky is your daily b!tch). On good days, you can win twice or thrice a week, depending on how often you bet. And on bad days, you may have a dry spell of almost the whole semester of just losing to the muyindi.
Write; Yes write! Doesn’t it feel good minting some coins off your words [ask this writer, he’s a living example]. There are so many websites and newspapers that pay university students to write for them. To start with, here at Campusbee, we pay according to how hot your story is. So kick out the brokenness and start scribbling your way to the bank. Media houses can never have enough writers, so drop an email to an editor and be the next freelance writer.
Usher; Personally I know a lot of varsity students who are ushers. They’re paid roughly 50-100,000 per gig and have at least one event every week. Most of these events happen at night, so they won’t counter with your studies, if you’re a day student.
Graphics designing; If you’re doing an IT related course, then I think it is high time you started putting some of the little knowledge you have so far garnered from the darned unending lectures. There are so many companies that need business cards, brochures, websites, among others. Utilise your contacts to start off, convince them you can design the above and boom, brokenness will surely cease to be your regular visitor.
Start up a mini bakery; With your upkeep, you can start up something close to a bakery. Bake cakes, daddies, fry crisps and establish your market as the sole supplier, of say, the guild canteen or your hostel canteen. You may start by selling to your fellow course mates and hostel-mates.
Play video games [Looser pay]; Hehehehe I know this pure gambling, but heck, it is survival for the fittest yo, do whatever you can to eat a rolex daily, including playing video games for money. If you already have the console, call up your friends. There are those chaps that feel unbeaten, when they argue about who is an ass-kicker, tell them to stake their money and whoop that ass, real bad! You must be a good gamer though.
Times are hard and sometimes our parents don’t really give us enough money, so please try the above to make that extra buck. Good luck!
