This is an area you can explore by posting banners in strategic places, tell people what you do, and advertise your services online.

8. Barbing business

Barbing business is a business you can venture into by first investing your time to learn the skill. Run the business part-time during your free time by attaching yourself to a barber and then make money.

Promote yourself by telling people and advertising online about your service as a barber and that you offer home service.

Conclusion

You have to understand that your primary reason for being in school is to study. Never substitute your academics for your business because it’s very important no matter how much you will be making from your business.

Finding a way to balance your academics and business is what you have to learn and that’s where time management comes in.

Understand that running a business comes with its challenges but how you handle them matters a lot. Learn how to relate with your customers and clients, and how to provide excellent services.
