Hey 👋
Happy New Year, one major thing each and everyone of us would want is money. Yes, money, money, money. Okay! I'm going to give you six multiple income streams, that you can  have as a student in your school hostel especially if you live in the school hostel. These streams aren't only for hostel dwellers and all. Even if you are off campus, this will help to a certain measure.

6 Ways of Making Money In Your Hostel as a Student

1. Hairdressing and barbing

Yeah! That your practising on dolls, little and big sisters' hair, plaiting your neighbours' hair has its benefits. So go ahead and do what you love and earn money with it. Hairdressing is actually lucrative because someone would definitely need to make didi, braids or simple cornrows. Emergency hair stylist needed and that's you. Make some cool cash out of this. Guys are not left out a 9,500 clipper can change your life if you are smart.

2. Makeup and beauty artists

Here comes the money makers....
Dinners, pageants, Saturday owanmbes, variety nights and dates, all you need is a few kits, and resilience. You can invest your time and money into learning pedicure,  manicure and makeup and be the savior of those girls are in need of them. I know many girls who survived by these skills. And during hot periods like dinners and pageants you can bill considerately. We all love glamorous looks, so we would definitely pay for them.

3. Sell food and snacks

You can make  fried snacks like puff-puff, doughnut, chin chin and even popcorn and sell them to hungry students. And many students prefer not too cook sometimes, so they can order food from you and you get paid. You can also make rounds in the hostel selling or reselling local made snacks from the market, you provide this for students at their comfort, and students love their comfort. So you basically get paid for comfort and filling the bellies.

4. Thrift stores

Have you noticed that students come back with new clothes, do you think that they have money for high end stores and boutiques? No, in fact this is the job of thrift stores, that provide cheap and stylish wears and you can run that too and make loads of money. Girls especially love outfits and sometimes occasions demands it, so we all invest in clothes. We all love to drip so you can be our clothes plug.

5. Jewellery and hair accessories

Cuban necklaces, studs, designer leather wristwatches and loads of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, waist beads etc, they make us look good and feel good, and we need someone to get it for us. If you have a place to get all these and bring it to students and you can get money out of it. Hair accessories is also a hot cake. So try this out.

6. Stationery

A student without a pen is like a farmer without his implements, have you ever been in need of a pen so urgently that you would literally do anything to get one. That's how important stationeries are, mobile stationeries that have highlighters, sticky notes, pens, pencils, graphs, rulers, markers. These "implements" are what students use to progress to the next level. Sell these and make your money.
