How To Make Money At NYSC Orientation Camp As A Non-corper

Are you still asking what source of business a non-corper can do? here below are some interesting business ideas you should consider:-

1.?Start Selling Food and Drinks

Selling food and drinks like minerals, yoghurt, zobo, beers and other assorted drinks at the orientation camp will fetch you a lot of money no doubt about it. naturally humans can?t just do without food and drinks so go to the camp, set up a restaurant at the MAMI MARKET (nick-name given to markets at NYSC camps), offer your services to them and get your cash.

Although NYSC will provide food to Corpers, 3 times, in a day all through the duration of the Orientation exercise.

Nevertheless, majority of Corpers on camp will find it difficult not going to MAMI MARKET to get a feel, of the local dishes in the community where the camp is located.

More so, at nights, MAMI MARKET seems to be the meeting and dating joints for Corpers and even Non-corpers on camp, hence, just imagine the number of drinks that will be sold everyday on camp. and if you sell yours, you get your cash.

2.?Photocopying services

Yes of course, there will be a lot of xeroxing and photocopying of original files and documents by corpers at the camp. So if you arrange for a source of electricity or its alternative like a generator, together with a photocopying machine, you can take it to the camp and start doing business. i will advice you to go for the 3 in 1 deskjet photocopying machine that has a scanner on it.

3.?Taking Photographs/photo shots

This is one of the hottest businesses on the camp. With thousands of Corpers engaging in different activities, for a whole 3 weeks, then, you should just imagine how much you can make from this business. No matter the competitions, you will surely have your own customers and make your money.With quality snaps shots, fast delivery and good customer interfacing skills, you will surely make it.

This business is easier for Non-Corpers because, as a Corper, in NYSC kit, you will not be allowed to do business during camp activities.

4.?Phone Calls and Battery Charging kiosk

Selling Recharge cards, offering phone call services and charging of mobile phone batteries can also make good money on camp for you.

All you just need to start this business is a small generator set, some desktop chargers, some power sockets and a kiosk. you can pay an electrician to wire the socket board perfectly for you.

You will have to be very careful with your customers phones sha oo, to avoid troubles; hence always make sure you label their phones or batteries with their names using a permanent marker/sellotape.

5.?Film Video Business:

This is a very good business which is not really common in most camps as compared to photography. The returns can be so high beyond your imagination if you really mean business.

Get a good video camcorder, you will have to cover all camp activities. there after, edit the whole stuff and burn it to DVD for Corpers to buy and take home after the Orientation exercise. Wondering how sensible it is to burn all 3 weeks activities into a DVD and also make plenty copies? just buy the nero smart burner software and install it on your PC. it helps you burn copies of DVDs fast.

The content of the DVD which you will offer for sale will just be short pieces of the major activities that will be carried out on camp.

If you are to make 90% of Corpers to buy your DVD, then you just have to prove to them that they appear in the video. To make this happen, try and make sure you cover all Corpers while they line up on the Parade ground, Platoon by Platoon. More so, try and be on ground with your camera when they are on queue for registration, food and during the endurance trek. Those are the instances you can capture almost all Corpers on camp.

What if you come to camp with a TV and DVD, so that every night, you can be showing the stuffs on TV ? If a Corper sees him/herself in the video, don?t you think he/she might instantly register to get a copy of your DVD before the end of the orientation camp? That?s food for thought.

6.?Laundry services:

There are many Corpers out there that will not be able wash their kits by themselves while on camp, for different reasons best known to them some are very lazy perhaps, hence all they do is to find someone that will help them wash their dirty kits and pay some cash in return.

More so, Corpers don?t go to camp with electric irons. Even at most camp, Corpers are not allowed to make use of electric gadgets. As a result of this, you will be making extra money just helping Corpers to Iron their clothes. You can use a charcoal pressing iron but make sure you are careful with it. label every shirt, khaki or jungle boot received with the Corper?s unique State code, so that when the owner comes back to claim his/her khaki, you will find it very easy to locate it without any mix-up with other khakis that are in your care.

You might not be able to do this business alone because I wonder what you will do when you have over a hundred of kits on ground to be washed and ironed. Corpers will be mad at you if you tell them that their kits are not ready when they are suppose to wear it to the parade ground, the next morning.

Buy a washing machine if you can afford one or better still organize boys whom are willing to combine the business with you, while some of them will be washing, some will be ironing, you will be on the field, marketing and others will be going from one hostel to another, packing dirty kits to their stand. If you are to do all these all alone, what do you think might happen to you in the long run?

7.?Mending torn clothes:

You can also make money on camp helping Corpers to fix their torn wears. Most kits supplied to majority of the corpers don?t suit them, hence many of them always love to adjust the size to fit them properly. More so,there are usually cases where shorts tear during exercises.

Hence, if you can be fixing all these for corpers, you will surely be making some real cash.
