Hey guys. The team at Stuff For College is doing some guest blogging over on our site Teenspirational, so we thought we'd return the favour with this helpful entry!
Books are expensive. Tuition is expensive. Beer is expensive. Here are some businesses you can start from your bedroom this summer or your dorm room this fall to help keep the student debt fairy away if a McJob isn't your scene…
1- Drop-Shipping
Drop shipping is a business where you sell items to people but ship them through the manufacturer. This saves you any of the hassles of having to keep inventory, having to pay for shipping, or having to handle customer service or returns on defective items.
For example, do you like a certain brand of iPhone case? Well simply find out the manufacturer's policy on drop shipping (usually on their website). From there all you have to do is promote and sell the items and input the orders to the manufacturer and wait for your cut to roll in. That's all!
It's super easy to set up a website promoting the items (there's a million services out there for website building, there's countless ones specifically for setting up online stores, or you can sell them on things like etsy or ebay or amazon if you wanted) or you can sell them to your friends and family!
Careful though, you can make tens of thousands of dollars in a job like this and you may not want to go back to school in September!
