AS a student, you don't need to be depending on your parents to provide everything instead get in contact with friends who can ad positive impact. Working online as we're doing is a good step then you add the little you have and you're good to go.

Before you can start a business as a college student you will need to save a lot of money for that but actually I have tried this but it's took me a lot of time and I almost landed in trouble because there was a time I use my school fee for that so it's almost affect me during exams time

As a college student, there is something you need to prioritize and that is your studies. I seldom observe here in the university students working or doing businesses. They are afraid to flunk.

When it comes to savings as a college student, i think the first thing you would need to focus on is self discipline. You need to be able to discipline yourself to be able to stick to your savings plan.

Based on my years of experience, let me say as to focus on your studies while you are passing through your college life. The point is as I tried to start business during my college life and it hit my studies and grades so badly, that time has passed but the grades are still pinching me whenever I go for interviews.

You have a point, I know of someone who at the moment is currently chasing one business or the other, now his school is on standstill. Though there are some business you can go into, with proper planning you can still focus on your business.

The major issue with students when it comes to saving is management. I remember back then it was Abit hard to manage what I had with all the things I felt I needed and what I really needed.

Most college students have successfully leveraged on the upkeep money that they are given to them by the parents to start businesses with. However through saving little by little most of them succeed on that venture.

If an individual is still in college, it is very likely that he does not have money. Therefore, he can try low cost business like selling merch. However, he needs graphic designing and marketing skills

As a college student, if you want to save money and start a business, you should have a monthly budget for your expenses and have a savings goal. Once you have saved enough money, the best way is to start an online business because it is more flexible. If you have the skills such as programming, graphics design, translation, you may offer such services. That said, do not forget your top priority is your study.

If you want to start a business while on campus, you would need to source startup capital from external sources. Saving your pocket money to raise capital for a business is not feasible.
