5 best business ideas for students
I’ll take care of you, students! You who have a deep desire to start your own business! You who are tired of hearing that it is still too early to undertake! You who know you can do it! And yes, doing business is not rocket science, and you don’t need to have had one or more experiences in the professional world to get started. I am going to give you some business ideas that you can develop as a student.
- Do street-marketing
The term is a bit broad and I’ll let you do your research to find out more. Me in general, in my articles, I try to give concrete examples that I have tested (or not) and that you can apply. And in this case, I can tell you that I tested it and it was even easier and more profitable to set up than I thought.
All you have to do is be resourceful. In my case, I appealed to municipal theaters and associations that organize shows. My goal was to offer them the opportunity to distribute flyers as a self-employed person. Believe me, there is demand because they have shows every week and need to fill their venues.
The trick is that they can’t always use event agencies; and that hiring a CDD contract cost them more while having a certain number of too high constraints. So that’s where you come in by offering your rates to theaters in your area. Above all, do not be afraid to set prices above 15 or even 20 € per hour.
- Sell multimedia material
You know online it is possible to sell any type of material that is authorized for resale. The one that I would advise you is to sell the MacBook bought second hand. This is the best use you can make of your $ 100 pocket money or student grant. The trick is to buy MacBooks for around 100 € (150 € maximum).
You are going to find some that work and without major repairs to do on them. So I can already hear you say to me: “But how to find that?”. Look around online ad sites. Dwell on macs with battery and/or charger concerns. Anyway, at this price, your mac will inevitably have one or more problems, and fortunately. Then buy a battery online and replace the old ditto for the charger.
It drives up the cost of buying your mac, but I promise you’ll make some money because the demand is huge. Just be careful not to get fooled by hidden screws or buying a Notebook instead of a Mac or a Mac that isn’t! Then every time you resell a mac buy an even newer one, applying the technique of changing the battery and have it changed or swap it if you know your way around.
This will allow you to resell the mac even more expensive and to make you a bigger margin. Most importantly, start with older models and be well aware of market prices.

- Resell “donated” products
Yes, we can say that it is a little rough idea, but it is nonetheless a business idea. Didn’t you understand the business idea behind the title of this part ?! Well, believe me, people donate in large quantities and often furniture that can have a second life.
You collect the articles and resell them on an online ad site or social network. You can make some modifications (painting, repair) if necessary, to give you the best possible chance of selling the item quickly! My advice is to also donate items that you don’t use on the site or in groups because just because you have a small business doesn’t mean you can’t donate yourself.
- Offer private lessons
Do you have a particular skill or follow a course for which the current demand is strong? Offer private lessons. I have known classmates who made € 60 each week with a client to whom they gave computer lessons. The courses were aimed at people of a certain age who wanted to become independent and learn to use their computer.
So we are not in a movie, at first, it will not be easy to find these clients, but do not hesitate to render services to people in your neighborhood who are of a certain age, without expecting anything from the return, who knows, they are or perhaps will be your future customers. They may be the knowledge that your services may be of interest.
I take the example of the computer course because it is an example that can be useful even for those who are not students of computer science. But like I told you earlier, if you have a particular course and are good at what you do, there is surely a demand. Find out from your family and friends, they may know interested people.
- Make affiliation
There are different ways to the affiliate for a student. And they are not at all comparable to each other. But the end goal is to attract customers or prospects for a given business. I chose to talk to you about affiliation via your blog.
Between us, it’s not the fastest, because it will take you a few months to earn your money with it. And initially, you are not going to gain much compared to the workload. But this method will allow you to have money each month that comes in between € 100 and € 1000 depending on the domain in which your blog is.
The areas with demand and which are the best paid by advertisers are finance, real estate, and health. It’s up to you to write relevant articles, learn more about SEO, and register with a specialized agency.
