Look Under the Rock! There's Money There!

Seriously. Look under that rock.

Look Under the Rock! There's Money There!

Got twenty-two cents in your bank account? Need a kickstart?


Guess what? This is the article for you! Did you know there's money everywhere? It can literally fall out of the sky? Really? No... not really. If you believe it or not, money is everywhere, though. You just need to know where to look, or invent the direction that others need to look towards. It's quite simple, really!

It may seem like a daunting task, but let me narrow it down a bit:

You are a college student. You have an espresso machine in your room and know that you have better coffee than anyone in the building. Then FOOSH! A snowstorm traps everyone in the building. Knowing that you have a lot of espresso and there's a spot to bring your machine, you bring it down to the lounge and start selling coffee drinks. By the end of the day, you make a solid one hundred after figuring out the amount of money for resupply.

Like that excerpt? I can't say much, but that happened... in certain ways. I created a direction and followed it. Now more people have the urge to follow that direction, or make another path off of it. That's the start of a business state of mind.

Yeah, really. If you are stuck for cash, remember that there is always a way to make money as a college student. Now, as summer vacation starts, this is more important than ever. You all must have a hobby, right? Of course you do! You can monetize that hobby! I mean, part-time jobs are much better at generating income in any way, but if you are as lazy as me, you want to monetize as many things as possible.

Now, this is what you need to do:

1. Find out what hobby is easy to get passive income.

Passive income is the best income. It basically comes in while you aren't paying attention.

2. Figure out how to do limited marketing with that idea. This means get the word out.

Limited marketing is coined as a free-type of marketing (flyers, Twitter, etc)

3. Profit.

That's literally all you have to do. The other thing you can do is find a problem you have and attempt to solve it. A great example would be the coffee story: I knew that everyone needs caffeine and I provided a solution.


This is a bare-bones article. I hope it helps on your quest!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
