College Money Making Business Ideas

OK so I have been thinking and researching  many different sites for good ideas that would be profitable  for the average college student. I didn't find any I liked so I came up with a few of my own. These are quick and simple ways to make money.


Photography- If you  have some really good photography skills, and  have an excellent knowledge of how to use photo editing software. You can do photo shoots for students and events that occur around  campus. This serves great to make money and you can put this on your resume as a freelancer!



Cooking- if you are really good at cooking whether its cookies, baking, roasting, etc. You can cook up a  whole batch of whatever you desire and sell  it to your peers.


Cleaning- If you like to clean buy some hefty cleaning products and launch a cleaning business. You can charge anywhere from 25 -75 dollars  for cleaning students  houses or dorms. Many students don't have time to clean or  are too lazy to do it. I'm pretty sure many wouldn't  mind dividing the cost among their roomates and have you clean their house. A  good starting point would be at $50 to $75 per house. You can  raise the price if there are alot of people living there.

Dancing/ Musician- If you are a dancer or musician or are part of a dance team you can definitely charge student organizations and local community venues to do shows at their events. 


Tutoring: If  you have a vast knowledge with subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Political Science, Biotechnology, Math, Calculus, Cell Physiology, etc. this is the perfect option for you. You can even charge to do  group tutoring sessions and track your tutees success rates by keeping track of their progress.

DJ'ing: Many people would be excited to have a good DJ with a great knowledge of the hottest tracks out and how to mix them with other music styles to create an awesome music mix to last the night!! This would be a great gig for student hosted parties, school hosted parties, and large school events. You can make alot of money with this if you go to a party school!


Rent your living room: If you have a big house or big living room. Rent your space over the weekend to someone or a big group of people who want to throw a massive party. Also  visitors who are not part of the guest list have to pay anywhere from 5 to 10 bucks to get in. You must set the guidelines down. What you will and will not accept. Also they have to sign whatever contract you guys come up with. They should clean up the space after they are done. If its part of your set deal.

These are the  ideas I have for  now. I know  all of these would work perfectly. I know many people who have employed these tactics and made a good amount of  money!!

Young Entrepreneurs Create their own JOBS

I read this article posted by the  NYTimes recently and it was very inspirational. It has led me  to seriously
consider my own business slowly overtime of course. I  have decided to look into advertising and learning the ropes.

There are some tips I think people should follow when starting a business or monetizing a website or blog:

• Make sure you have a nice little bundle of money to start out with.  Taking out loans can make things troublesome but don't let it stop you if that is the road you choose to take.
• Choose something you are passionate about
• Make sure to know your target audience
• Focus on something you have expertise on
• Create a business plan you can actually follow through on
• Advertise. get the word out to your friends and local community!!
• Decide how you will advertise: social media, phone, ads, email, internet etc.

I  think these are some really cool books to buy to stay informed:
