Freelancing

For students with strong writing skills, creating blog entries, webpage content, and articles for global clients can be lucrative in generating earnings.

Affiliate Marketing
Students can earn money by promoting the products or services of others and receive a commission for each sale that comes about as a consequence of your referral.

Data Entry Jobs
Data input consists of putting information into, maintaining, or updating it in multiple formats—such as databases, spreadsheets, or online platforms.

Selling handmade Products
The creation and reselling of handcrafted goods could be an appealing business opportunity for students with skills in stoneware, crafting, knitting and crocheting, accessory creation, and various other relevant crafts.

Survey Apps

Services like Uber and Pathao provide opportunities to earn extra income, even though some students might not consider it initially. It’s a flexible option that allows them to earn while enjoying the freedom of being on the road, making it a convenient choice for those seeking additional income without the need for extensive brainstorming.
