Skills like Digital Marketing, Writing, Web and Graphic design are of high demand due to technological advancements.
Most students in higher institution have Laptops or smartphones. If well utilized, your smartphone or laptop could make you lots of cash.
Few years ago, these skills were only accessible to those who can afford money to learn them. But today, most of this skills can be learnt online, some even offer you certification at the end of the course. YouTube is another learning resource, you can learn most of these skills by watching videos uploaded by YouTubers on your device.

Investing in Cryptocurrency and Stock market:
This two businesses are very lucrative right now and will continue to be in the future.
Growing up we had the illusion that the stock market was for the well-to-do business men and women. That has been debunked because young people who are not so “well-to-do” are beginning to take advantage of the stock market. Learning how to trade stocks and cryptocurrencies will require professional assistance. Thankfully, seminars on stock market and cryptocurrency are being done regularly, students can pick a Saturday and avail themselves for these kind of seminars.
Investing in cryptocurrency and stocks is very profitable if done properly. I will advise any student who wants to be financially stable to take advantage of this.
Lesson/Tutorials:
Most students find it difficult to grab some certain concepts that are been taught in our higher institutions. Sometimes, it is due to the student’s short comings or the lecturers. Some students are unable to comprehend things that are been taught by some lecturers as most of these lecturers are very strict.
Back in secondary school, my chemistry teacher made me and other students hate chemistry because of his approach to teaching. But during a biology class, our biology teacher explained an aspect of chemistry that was related to the current biology topic, coincidentally, what he explained was our current chemistry topic. The whole class was in shock as to how simple it was after he explained it, we then begged him to be our chemistry teacher, he felt compassion for us but he declined, it actually wasn’t in his hand to take such decision.
What is the point here? Not all students will comprehend lectures, so if you’re an “intelligent” student you can take advantage of this and make some cash.
