Today, Nigerian students face many challenges in tertiary institutions.
One of the prominent challenges is financial constraints.
Money is very essential for quality education but rarely will the money sent to you as a student from home ever be enough to cater for your academic needs like text books, hand outs, research purposes, assignments, practical sessions among others, much more your personal upkeep. Yet, most parents still wonder why the money they send their children get exhausted easily.
It's easy for a student to be frustrated when there is lack of funds. I can relate to that feeling few years ago. Sometimes, calling home for money becomes a tiring task. You will wish there was something you could do to boost your finance rather than stress your parents because you actually know they don't have the money to give. But this wish is always short lived because you also know that any student that must succeed academic-wise has to put into consideration three things when getting a side job:
1. Time:
If you decide to get a job, will it still give you ample time for your academics? Would it not slow down your academic progress? Every student knows that time is a precious asset that needs to be well managed.
2. Energy:
Would it consume your energy and strength? Would it leave you so drained that you will lack the drive to attend to other pressing issues?
3. Focus:
What job can you do that will not divide your focus? Successful students know their academics must always be in view if they are to have a stellar performance.
Putting these factors in to consideration, what would easily be of help to a student would be online jobs because they require practically no capital and can be done from any internet enabled device. Imagine that rather than doing the usual stuffs to while away time, your phone and laptop gets to fetch you money.
I am not talking about the numerous Ponzi schemes existing today that promise you a mountain if you invest a stone. Those schemes may solve your problem temporarily, but can create bigger problems for you if something goes wrong.
On the other hand, there are plenty available opportunities to make money legitimately online. However, some online jobs can also be time consuming. They may require your presence often at even odd hours.
The best online opportunity that will be most suitable for students is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is a simple type of business where you promote products and get paid a certain commission for every sale that comes through you. If you are a student, affiliate marketing solves the three problems above.
1. Time:
With affiliate marketing, you get to invest a small percentage of your time and then have the freedom to attend to other things around you. Two or three hours a day is all the time investment you need. Besides, your time of working is flexible because you decide when to work.
2. Energy:
When you work online, you get to do it from the comfort of your room. Do you need any extra physical effort? Of course not! The strength to need is like the strength you use when you chat. If you can chat for one or two hours without feeling like you did hard work, then you can easily promote products online.
3. Focus:
There is no need to have a divided mind. You don't have to worry about any workload in trying to make money. Once you are have worked online, you can to sleep, read or engage in other activity. There is no need to be anxious.
Affiliate marketing is therefore the smart option for students who want to achieve financial stability in school.
