3 Business Ideas For Students

A Confidence Coach can help you generate profitable business ideas.

When you are a high school or college student, you generally have huge batches of free time. There's no better way to spend them than becoming a student entrepreneur.

1. Digital marketing

Digital marketing has grown a lot in the last decade, with the emergence of eCommerce's and online businesses. The businesses that don’t digitalis them self and ignore working on their internet profile and presence are missing a huge percentage of clients.

There probably are many local businesses looking for help on their digital marketing strategies. That’s how you can reach their owners and provide them with a free consultation to show you know about the subject. You could help them with the local SEO, social media management, and Google Ads/Facebook Ads campaigns, among other strategies.

2. Moving Services

 

Both neighbors and students need moving services eventually, whether its because the academic year has finished and the student is moving back to their homes, or because a neighbor has rented a new house. That’s where you can make money if you find it easy to package items and move boxes.

3. Photography services

 If you love to take photographs, you can take your hobby and talent into a photography freelancing business. Both students and local businesses may need your services whether because they want to update their profiles or because they are looking to promote the product.

In the beginning, you can start offering all kinds of services, but as you grow the business, you will probably realize there’s a ton of competition and one specific photography service in order to be different than the rest. The biggest issue for this kind of business is the cost of the photography equipment, which, if you’re moving from one place to another, can break and make it even more expensive.

4. Food delivery services

Create a platform to deliver quick eatables like sandwiches and smoothies to local businesses. Start by targeting firms with employees in younger age groups, who often go out to grab a meal during lunch breaks. This is a gold mine, with food deliveries for simple items that don't break their wallet, the business would be exponential. With options to schedule deliveries made earlier to arrive at lunchtime, this could actually be a problem solver for the firms. Take a step further and make these homemade too.

5. Blogging

Is there anything you really enjoy talking about? Are your friends tired of listening to you talk about it? Then start a blog about that topic, build an audience, and monetize it through ads, premium content, or any other creative way. The startup costs of building a blog are super low nowadays and the information to grow such a site is free all over the internet.
