Earlier this morning a program on etv called eNCA was showing and it revealed a few young entrepreneurs who started their own businesses.
Yes not everyone will start a business and own a company one day and yes not everyone has leadership qualities which are necessary to run a business. BUT everyone has a skill, passion and knowledge to do something to help them to SUCCEED in life. TRUST people when they say this: "The little that you do can make a BIG difference."
On the program, they also showed a young man (25) who achieved a diploma in IT with an average of 75%. He volunteers at his local hospital's IT department and does a short intern coarse at an IT company. He missed out on a major job opportunity because he could not type out a proper CV when he applied for the job. A CV is the '1st impression that counts the most' when an employer has to decide whether or not to employ you. His CV was typed using an incorrect structure and it had grammatical errors which led to loosing the job opportunity.
BE SMART. Not everyone is good at typing out proper CVs and other formal documentation. So if you can't do it, there's always another student who can.
Ideas on how to earn an income while studying or chilling at home
We all end up being bored after having too much time to ourselves. We need to find simple and fun things to do to pass by the time and earn some income while we're at it.
When trying to figure out what it is you want to do think about the things or habits you like or love. Examples could be making friends, chatting on Facebook, typing, drawing, writing articles or even poetry and so on.
Have the right passion and attitude toward anything you decide to do. Without these then you're just wasting your time. Try to think about something you wouldn't mind doing even if you're not getting paid to do it.
Then think of a way to spread the word about what it is you want to do. The best thing you could do is sell the service on skychores.com and we'll make the noise for you.
here are 5 awesome ideas to get you started:
Make and sell meals or food to students. Cook traditional (Home) meals that you know students miss or make something spectacular such as the food ideas found inside the Kellogg's corn flakes box or other food magazines. You could also make mom's specialties which are vetkoek, spahlo (bunny chow), cookies, pap and wors and many more.
Simple designing services. Now this is the fastest way to earn income quickly. There are tons of small business owners looking to create CV's, logos, business cards, flyers and posters. Also students looking to sell clothing usually need a catchy and awesome design to use.
Be a photographer and take moments that will never be forgotten. Whether you're using a NXD5587 Samsung camera or a S4 at the end of the day, a photo is a photo. The advantage of using a cellphone is that you can take #selfies and its highly portable (well you always have it with you anyway). Add your service and be booked for nice events and house parties.
Crafting is an art that should never be hidden. If you are good at making something wearable (like custom bracelets or necklaces) then make them and sell them on skychores.com . People love having their own personal touch to the things they own. Which is why you'll find that a lot of people use different wallpapers on their cellphones/laptops and other people love unique clothing. Another smart thing to do is to offer services to teach others how to do what you do. This is way better then just watching a video on YouTube because you can be there physically helping the students to master your art.
Being a handyman is a very scarce skill. Knowing how to fix things is also a good service to offer. Don't think about far sighted things like being a mechanic, no! Be simple, Be smart. Think about little things you could. Fixing student laptops could be a very great service to offer. Student are not very knowledgeable with how to fix a problematic software or hardware error. Be the fixer and earn an income for it though skychores.com
Stay tuned on SkyChores.com and SkyChores.tumblr.com for more ideas.
1) Johnny(Buyer) purchases cleaning services from Silentio9t(Seller). Silentio9t is supposed to arrive at Johnny's res at 10 because Johnny has a class at 12. Now Silentio9t arrives at 12 but Johnny isn't around so Silentio9t decides to leave.
The problem in this situation is that Johnny has already paid for services yet the purchased services aren't happening
Let's make a second scenario:
2) Johnny purchases cleaning services from Silentio9t. Silentio9t arrives at the agreed upon time and place yet Johnny isn't available anymore due to an unexpected test or maybe his girlfriend just entered the building. Then Silentio9t decides to leave because he cannot conduct his services for Johnny.
The problem in this situation is that Silentio9t is ready to conduct his services yet Johnny cannot allow Silentio9t to clean due to unforeseen circumstances.
So what will SkyChores do?
In the 1st scenario, SkyChores will reverse the money to Johnny's account. This is because Johnny has adhered to the agreement he made with Silentio9t so the right thing is for Johnny is for him to receive his money back.
In the 2nd scenario, SkyChores will not reverse the payment. Silentio9t will receive the full amount due to him. This is because Silentio9t had adhered to the agreement he made with Johnny.
To prevent such situations, SkyChores also enables buyers and sellers to communicate and to cancel orders at no extra fee.
We understand that circumstances might change and thus stop either the buyer or seller from continuing with the service. We all students at the end of the day.
SkyChores makes sure that all payment procedures are fair and just.
In this day and age, technology has helped mankind to develop a lot of things. New innovations are available simply to make life easier.
There are a number of ways to make payments:
We have physical payments where you literally hand over money to obtain something; we have ATMs which accept money then deposits it into the recipients' account; we have e-wallets/money market transfers where people have access to money sent to them using their cellphone numbers. And last but not least we have EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) payments. EFTs are based on giving the account holder full control over his/her money.
Banks all over the world will agree that EFT payments are by far the most convenient, safe and easy form of payments.
There are too many issues of money being stolen by thugs, drug addicts or even your own family members and friends.
