Can you suggest some good business for students like me. Having said that I am just a student, I do not have a large capital. I will only use my savings as a capital and I do not want to take the risk since this is the only thing I got. Oh by the way, I am good in arts and design and I am weak at calculations and math. Creating different stuffs out off trash is also my hobby.

Do you only want to work online or are you willing to start an offline business? I know a few people who have started lawn care type businesses very successfully as students. They need very little money to start this business... you can go to clients' homes, use their own equipment (lawn mowers, hand tools, etc.) and do the outdoor work that they have no time or inclination to do. Because I live where it snows a lot in the winter, they generally alternate their lawn care/gardening with snow shoveling in the winter :) Other ideas you could do would be tutoring other students (one of my daughters is doing this very successfully), babysitting, pet sitting or dog walking, etc. Good luck! ![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

Oh! I forgot! There are also businesses here that hire students to do odd jobs, painting, window washing, etc., around people's homes. There's really no reason that you couldn't do such a business independently too.

You can go into Photoshop editing business, typing, editing, proofreading. You use graphics software to that will help you create template and sell. You can installs for picture editing and reshaping. With your skills, these what I can recommend.

Optimal your capability. That's the key, how to start your own business if you are student. Join in online business, make manoey online didn't spent many time. I just want to share my experience. I like statistic, and I like make some analysis. So I make service for data analysis. And I get money from that. Beside that, I follow forex trading, and I still learn the technical analysis :D
have a good day...

It sounds like the best thing for you to do is to freelance and offer your services for others. Perhaps brush up on some animation,graphics and web design and start your own company(that charges less to just get in clients and recommendations etc). The start up costs are the programs and time only.
Best of luck with all your efforts.

Hello friend,
I think any kind of animation business is better for you. Because you are a good artist. So it is best for you. It is my suggesion that at first you camplete your study and then do other thing. Because study is very important in todays life.
Have a nice day.

You can do business out of your hobby, create unique stuffs and try to market them. You can even use the social networking sites to promote your products.
But most students get into food business because food sells. Everybody eats so it's a sure gain. If you can't cook of bake, you can just go into retailing especially to your classmates or maybe neighbors. :)
