Service Business Ideas
Host Workshops: What is your specialty? If you have useful information or a skill that college students need, you may have a marketable business. Can you teach students where to find scholarship and grant money? Can you show them how to boost their gpa and have more free time? Think about what you're good at and develop it into a workshop lesson that people will enjoy and learn from.
Computer Services: Can you type over 40 wpm? Are you good at creating websites, logos, or flyers? Use your computer to make money by offering services others cannot do themselves.
Resume Writing: New-grads often need help creating the type of resume that will get their foot in the door. These resumes must often emphasize the life experiences and activities that employers may substitute for work experience. You can offer services that will help students and new-grads land the positions of their dreams.
Ebook Writing: Find a niche that you are passionate about and share your knowledge with the world! Ebooks eliminate the need for a publisher and printing costs, and allow you to write in a to-the-point fashion that is frowned upon in traditional publishing. Read Make Money Selling Ebooks to learn more about ebook writing.
