What is a side hustle?

What is a side hustle, precisely? Basically, a side hustle is a work you do on the side of your regular job to make additional income. Sure, a side hustle can mean working for someone else, but the most effective ones and the ones most frequently chosen, involve being your own boss and setting your own schedule.

Offline side hustle ideas

Simply put, offline side hustle involves an additional income source one gets from doing work or tasks without spending time on the internet. In other words, it is working without an internet connection.

Modeling

Yes. modeling is the quickest and will give you money almost immediately as a student. Models are paid from ₦40,000 to ₦60,000.

 Me that is a whole lot of money and can go a long way to help in your financing while in school if you ask. I suggest you go to Jiji and find modeling jobs near you if you have the body for modeling.

 

 

 
 

 

 

Ushering services

Just like modeling, it can also be a relative side hustle just accept jobs or gigs that do not clash with your classes. Ushering services can also be found in Jiji.

Tutorial classes

Pick that subject you know too well and tutor your coursemates. Start with little for instance, charge on a weekly basis other than a monthly or one-time payment. This will generate more income for you because they will gladly pay it without feeling it. 

If for instance, you charge  ₦ 200  per week for your tutorial and you have 50 students attending your tutorial, do the math, amazingly you have ₦ 10,000 in a week. 

 

 

 

Laundry services

Students care about their looks on-campus, yet they are often too depleted to wash. 

You can make a whole lot of money if you are persistent and focused. It only takes a few hours of your time to do the laundry for a couple of your friends, You can employ someone to help you with the workload if it affects your study time.

Interior decoration

Students moving into new residences may want assistance with decorating their rooms.

 if you have skill in interior decoration you can make money for yourself and you can even advertise your skill in case anyone is in need of it.

 

House agent

you can take advantage of freshers in the school in your spare time to look for housing for fellow students, and you can generate money through Commissions and agent fees.

 

Gift packaging service

Are you skilled in packaging gifts in a way that is unique so you can monetize your hobby to fetch you money while in school? 

Utilize events like birthdays and valentine's day. Help your clients package gifts for their friends and they will in return pay you for your services. It is something you can still learn from youtube though you don't have the skill.

 



 

Hairdressing

If you can make hair then you need to monetize the skill to make a little money from it to help you during school

Are you good with the styling of virgin and natural hair, you can collect little money from people when you style their virgin or natural hair in a unique way.

 

Barbing

You can find a barbing salon to attach yourself to after class hours if you know how to cut hair this can come in handy in school.

 

Waste disposing service

Some students find it difficult to dispose of their wastes, this is where you come in by helping them with it and at the same time being paid for your services. 

Imagine you charge  ₦50 per room for disposing of wastes and in a lodge, there are 50 rooms and you will be going home with ₦12500 on a daily basis if you visited 5 Lodges. You can charge ₦100 or ₦200 depending on the amount of waste.

 

Conclusion

As a  student in this country, doing a couple of side hustles out of this can be very helpful financially, and it may be something you build your career on later in life. For instance, Doing interior decorating while in school makes it possible to build connections with people you will need after school to follow a lifetime career in that area. The same applies to other side hustles you intend to do while in school.
