Once a time of student life, you have to face a critical situation that matters for you. Sometimes, you may need some extra money for tuition fees, apartment costs as well as pocket money. You pick up your phone and fail to call on your old father. Asking for money is hard because you won't like to pressurize your family. It's a common scenario not only to you but also to me too.

To avoid this kind of complicated hover, everyone needs to be independent. Besides, money only doesn't bring your freedom but also respect and encourage you to be more confident. So, It would be embarrassing for you to earn money and spend on your living and sometimes for others.

Here, I would like to share some of my friend's stories about how they earn money so that you can find a way and become self-reliant.

1. Teaching


Teaching is the most priority of earning money while you are a student. It's the most popular and flexible job for the student. One of my friends takes it as a source of their part-time income.

Among them, Joy Karmakar, who is studying at Jagannath University, Department of English, teaches students to learn Academic English in a local coaching center. It brings him 15 thousand Taka per month. From the outside of the coaching, he also teaches two students and earns 10 thousand Taka per month.

When I asked Joy, "How can I get a student for tuition?" He said that there had three or more options to get tuition at the entry-level: postering, local tuition media, and instructor at a coaching center. He started his journey with the help of tuition media.


2. Freelancing

Today is the era of the Internet. There is a large number of opportunities to get an online job from different countries such as the US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc. If anyone has skills of anythings either low level or high level, he can do freelancing and earn from online.

For your kind consideration, here is my story as a freelancer. When I was a first-year college student, I wanted to do something so that I could earn some money and bear my tuition fees. As I was just about to find a way of making extra money, I started to take freelancing training about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) from a local IT Institute.

After completing the course, I entered the online market place. I became frustrated for a short limited time. But two months later, I would have got a job from a client of the US. It was for the first time, I earned 5 dollars and became very much happy. Nowadays, I am lucky and earn enough to pay my all living costs and also can support my family by giving some money to them.


3. Graphic Design:

Do you like to wear a t-shirt? I feel completable wearing a t-shirt which has my company logo. My graphic designer friend, Amrita, has designed it by using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop Software. She is an expert designer and works at Up work online market place.

She said to me to consider three things before entering this profession. Firstly, You have had a desire to think. Then you need to have the power to illustrate from the micro-level. The last one is love and dedication.

All these are not inborn. Anyone can be a master of the design if they want to be that.


4. Small Business

Do you know which one is the driving force of the earth at present? That's a small business which takes less capital and less staff to start. But it plays a vital role in the growth of a developing country.

Sharmin Chaudhury is a fresh gratulate from Dhaka University who started an online business of clothes. Her initial cost was 15000 Taka. She bought dresses from the local market and uploaded the product's pictures to the FB page. At the last stage, she sent it to them who wanted to buy these products and collect bills by online payment. Now, this small online shop is very well known, and 3-5 employees are working there.

While you are continuing your studies, a small business can be a great choice. Here, You can make your own decision, take risks and feel your freedom.


5. Writing

Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money."
--Virginia Woolf
Writing is love. It is a combination of words but has a sense. Nothing you need to be a writer except a piece of paper, a pen, and a smartphone. These simple tools are enough to show your creativity.
One of my friends takes it as a source of pleasure and earn enough too. They write for various kinds of companies and online platforms. And they earn 750-900 Taka per article.

So, why late? It’s time to cross yourself and be self-defended.
