Repair Cars



The majority of college students who have a car don't know how to make minor repairs on their own or how to deal with sudden situations that might face them. If you do, you're in luck. Consider making a small investment in tools and supplies and then advertise for reasonably-priced onsite repairs and maintenance work like oil changes.

Shedding light on the darker side of the coin



Talking about the alternative methods of income often engages work from home – it's more  convenient, doesn't involve long hours in traffic in your way to the office plus you can do some of the housework during your “office day”. The big question that arise does it make you more productive, stimulated and motivated or there is a possibility that you are missing something by not seeing your colleagues face to face every day.

I found an interesting article that discusses the decision of Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer to ban “working remotely”. From Yahoo’s point of view working side-by-side is a crucial component of working effectively and efficiently and that the speed and the quality when we work from home “are sacrificed”.

Another opinion that supports Yahoo’s view is given by the Virgin mogul Sir Richard Branson saying that working remote from the office and your coworkers is “a backwards step”.

So what do you think? If you work from home, no matter whether is a part time job or full time job, permanent position or just an alternative way of making additional income, how much time do you actually dedicate on working and how  for much making tea, checking the press or shopping online?

Being a specialist in organising...Why not?!


Professional Organizers may sound weird and most of the people don’t know that such profession exists. And yet why not? Disorder is everywhere you look in offices and homes.


What is a Professional Organizer?


Just like the title suggests, professional organizers sell their organizing services to businesses and homes, helping other people bring order out of chaos.

From what I can tell after a quick research, professional organizing is a legitimate home-based business opportunity. You can read about it at CNN Money (there is also a professional organization you can join, called the National Association of Professional Organizers, or NAPO).

The only disadvantage that I found out is that before starting you should be ready to invest… it’s more than $500 for the startup system, but if you are good enough you can compensate that money for a week.

I guess you are thinking what system and the answer is a Professional Organizer Business Complete Startup System


This system advertises itself as a comprehensive guide to getting started in and running your own successful organizing business. If its advertising is true, it does seem to be quite comprehensive...but expensive also, at 549 dollars. However, if you really can up to 60 dollars per hour as a professional organizer, and system can help you get there, a 500 dollar investment is perfectly reasonable.

World exploration + MoneyHugger = Smiley face



It's Monday morning, the day starts with the occasional 9 am classes, than continues with a grueling  group discussion about the unsatisfactory results from the uncoordinated group work left from last week and until you get home you end up with a bunch of assignment deadlines that you hardly imagine you can ever meet. But anyway, you continue the routine with "logging in" in any of the social media vehicles you've used most recently and  you  find a number of students how want to get rid of these interesting and full with action uni days and go on an exciting  trip, anywhere but far from here.  In this case, all you can do is offering them your  excellent organizational skills and advices on how to explore the world for affordable (student) price, but of course that can happen only if they use your “services”.  Suddenly, the small number is turning into a reasonable sized group and guess how is being left to do the organizing?! :) Yes, the chance to go on a trip and earn some money SIMULTANEOUSLY is given to you; moreover, the only thing you need to ensure is that you are approaching this “organizational plan” in a logical and correct manner.


The key word here is organization. This starts before you even begin putting all parts of the trip together. For instance, there is a lot of information that you will need to collect and collate ready to enter on booking forms, so you need to organize yourself first.


One of the first steps in arranging the actual trip, unless this has been previously agreed, is to sort out the dates. If you are given a free hand on this bear in mind that certain times of year, such as the height of summer and around special holidays like Easter and Christmas, are likely to be more expensive, so steer clear of these wherever possible unless they are an integral part of the reason for the proposed trip.


Than you should consider the type of the travel arrangements that must be made, which of course will vary depending upon the destination of the trip.


Even thought the responsibilities you have to consider for this alternative method of income,   you can’t deny that the money you will manage to gain from this organizing plan will be earned in the most stimulating way that one student can think of! :)

Filling in surveys


Hardly the most inspiring and exciting idea, but it pays. The only problem with this idea is that you need to be committed. Most sites won’t start to pay you until you reach a certain amount of ‘points’, accumulated through sitting through hours of mind-bogglingly boring surveys about anything from ‘how did this advert make you feel?’ to ‘use a word to describe the positioning of this word’. To the latter, ‘earth-shatteringly tedious’ doesn’t tend to feature as an answer, unfortunately.
Still, when you do reach those milestones, there aren’t too many greater feelings than that lump-sum windfall.

Make some money while you're having fun



Being a student is fun, but it does have its down side. For a lot of students it is the first time that they have left home and is therefore somehow disconcerting. The realization that there is now no mechanism around to take dirty smelly clothes and magically transform them into clean ones is a bit irritating, isn`t it?! But still the most inconvenient change in students’ life is dealing with budget and studies and not only that but doing it SIMULTANEOUSLY… In this case the only association with uni life will logically be BOREDOM and the only thought that can slightly drive you back from this stressful association is going out for a drink with “the guys”. Unfortunately, here comes the second obstacle that usually students find hard to overcome…budget.

How about if I tell you that there is a decent way to earn money until you`re having fun…SIMULTANEOUSLY? It could sounds a bit vague and too good to be true but don’t forget that one bored and desperate student can be extremely creative.  For instance, organising a party in your own house can be profitable “business”. Think about it, first, no one can deny that students tend to release their whole “potential” only if they feel like they are invited in a “private party”  where the cozy home atmosphere is contributing to the “crazy things I can do when my parents  (OR for example,  the security from Kasbah )are not watching”.  Second, everyone who acknowledge this fact will be even more interested of your “home organized party” when he/she notice that the price that they have to pay for entrance and drinks is almost three times cheaper than this in The Establishment‘s menu.  You may ask why someone would pay to go in someone else’s house instead of organising hi/her own party. And the answer is the mess that the extreme night usually leaves after the Sun goes up and the damages that should be fixed somehow are due to the host of the party, hence the only “obligation” of the “guests” is to have fun and cause those damages.Here some advices how you can do it:

  1.  Planning:
  •   Make sure you can gather volunteers to help you.
  •   Be prepare to invest some money
  2. Take action:
  •   Fix the dates and time your parties are going to take place (stick with permanent timetable initially, so that people can easy remember; afterwards, if everything goes on plan you can start “customizing” your parties)
  •  Advertising is an essential moment: find the balance between spreading the event, but on the same time inviting students that you know or at lease your friend’s friend knows
  •   Make arrangements for photo and video (you may use those materials for advertising…if appropriate)
