Intro:

If I tell you today that you can earn up to ₹2000 every day by taking some screenshots, you might be shocked to hear this, but it is possible to do this in reality. There are many such ways, many skills which if you learn, then you can earn a lot of money in your student life — means you can also become financially independent like other people. So let's understand today some five such secret skills by learning which you can also earn money in your student life. This is such a challenge that if you overcome it, then not only money but your life can also change. It's not easy but it's not impossible. You can make more money than your parents when you are still a student.

A Short Story

So hi everyone my name is Prashant. Today I'll tell you a short story. This story about is a pour boy named Rahul. Rahul came from a house which did not have much money, means they were financially dependent on others, and that little boy who had just passed 10th class had a dream in his mind — he had a dream to make himself financially independent i.e., he wanted to earn money on his own and not give that money to his parents as well. But how could he earn money at such a young age? But that student had a strong determination inside him, he knew that he had to do this and he learned some skills. After learning those skills, he started earning money and you know that when his class 12th exams were over and when he started going to college, he paid his college fees himself with the same money that he had earned in this time. That means you can also earn money in your student life but the reality is that you will have to work very hard for that.

Are You Ready

Today I will tell you the skills but to learn those skills you will have to gather courage and work hard. So first of all tell me in the comments — are you ready? If you are ready for this much hard work, write yes in the comments today. If you are not ready, you can leave this video or you can also write no in the comments.

First Skill

Let's start. Let's quickly start with the first skill. The name of this is voice over. Popular character Chhota Bheem — I also dub that too. “Friends, I have come from Dholakpur!” You know, this is such a skill about which no one is even thinking in today's time. This voice over industry has an overall value of more than $4.2 billion. Let me explain with a small example. You must have seen cartoons in your childhood like Doraemon, Shinchan — those cartoons used to come from other countries, in other languages, but in India, they were shown in Hindi. So who converted that language? There were some people — whom we call voice artists. Those people changed the voice. You get paid a lot for converting that voice.

That means this is a hidden skill about which no one is talking. You can learn this skill and you can achieve very good opportunities. Now you may ask — how will we learn this skill? Look, this skill is not tough to learn. If you are a student who is very fond of speaking in school, tuitions, or college, if you are able to speak very well in English, Hindi, or any of your regional languages, then you can also do this work. You don't have to do anything — there are some websites and platforms. One platform is called voices.com — you have to go to this platform, register yourself, and upload your voice samples. From there, you can start getting work. But you have to remember one thing — your voice should be very sweet, very good, so that anyone listening feels you're perfect for the job.

Apart from voices.com, there is another website — Aapka (he didn’t mention the full name). You can go there and register too. By working as a voice artist, you can easily earn from ₹50 to ₹10,000 per month. Many college students are already doing this work — you can try it too. This was your skill number one.

2nd Skill

Now let's move on to skill number two — handmade art. You must have seen a lot of handmade art nowadays — paintings, drawings, sceneries, fluid art, resin art — you must have seen these somewhere. Now here’s the reality: these handmade arts are being sold at a very high cost nowadays. There are people charging ₹60,000 to ₹1 lakh for a single painting. That means this market is very good for you. What do you need for this? You should be good at painting. If you are a student who has an artist inside, then this opportunity is perfect for you.

Now you will ask — how do we get work? It’s very easy. Two ways: either create an Instagram account and start posting reels and videos showing your artwork. When people start noticing your work, they will start giving you custom painting and drawing projects. Or, if you don’t want to use Instagram, there’s another website (he says "Aids" which might be a mispronunciation — could mean Etsy or Fiverr). There you’ll find many handmade projects. You can start your career as a handmade artist from there. That was skill number two.

3rd Skill

Now skill number three — Pinterest. It's not really a skill, it’s a platform. Let me explain. If you love photography — like clicking beautiful pictures while traveling or of your surroundings — then you can upload these photos to Pinterest and earn money. You can makes screenshots of artwork, scenery, backgrounds from Instagram or YouTube and upload them to Pinterest Website.

How it works: 

 When people like, Comment, share or save your image, And if your images gain good traction, you start earning from ad impressions and affiliate links. Students with a good eye for photography or visuals can earn through this. It’s a great opportunity.

4th Skill

Now let’s move on to skill number four — teaching. Teaching is a very simple and evergreen profession. Every student can do this. I myself started teaching at a very young age. If you are in or just passed 12th, you can teach junior students. You can start by giving tuition classes — either at home or online. You can also make teaching videos and upload them on YouTube.

If you’re good at explaining, soon ed-tech companies like Unacademy, Byju’s, Vedantu may offer you a teaching position. So yes, teaching can make you money while you're still a student. The main skills needed are communication, teaching style, and a little understanding of social media.

5th Skill

Now finally, skill number five — Social Media Manager. This is the most trending skill today. Every influencer, businessman, or company needs a person who manages their social media. What does a social media manager do? They handle emails, manage brand deals, schedule and publish posts on Instagram, YouTube, etc., and reply to messages.

To become one, you should first work for free — approach influencers and offer help for free to learn the ropes. Once you build a profile and have some experience, go to LinkedIn and search for "Social Media Manager" jobs. You’ll find plenty of opportunities there. Today, a good social media manager earns between ₹80,000 to ₹1 lakh per month — and yes, students can do this too!

Conclusion

So these were five amazing skills that every student should learn. Remember, student life doesn't come back again. And if you become financially independent during student life, your future will be bright.
