Running low on cash and inspiration?
Have a look at this tips that might help you
I am not saying that running a business from the comfort of your home is a walk in the park but it is possible, and that's enough to start talking about the options pronto!
However, if you have a bit of entrepreneurial spirit in you, these ideas should get your juices flowing and set you off on your merry way to small-business success.
1: Turn your best photos or artwork into posters (good sellers at the start of term as students move into new homes) – check out Truprint
2:Start an essay or thesis proofreading business
3:Create a local guide – think magazine, website or app – that helps freshers make the most of their new town: the best cafés, cheapest deals, or hidden gems. You can sell these on and even ask businesses to pay a small fee to be included
4:Nail that big business idea
Do some research: what do people need or want? Think of an everyday obstacle you're met with – how can it be overcome?
If you could provide or invent something that would make life easier, better, safer, fairer or cheaper – what would it be?
What are you really good at or love doing? Perhaps start with that!
Think about what ventures might support your degree course or future ideal career.
5: Start a tutoring service for school students struggling with the subjects you’re acing at. Offer online courses or webinars to reach more folk
6: Be a sports coach for local or uni teams
7: Collect other students dirty laundry and take it to the launderette for a markup
8: Design a motivational app that logs lecture/seminar/gym attendance and awards points, vouchers or gifts for achievements or penalties for slacking.
