7 side hustles Ghanaian students are actually making money from
19 Jun 2026 · 8 min read
Every campus has a quiet economy. These are the hustles students keep posting real numbers about.
The list
- Short-form video editing for small businesses.
- Hall delivery and errand runs during exam weeks.
- Braiding, barbering and nails — steady demand, repeat clients.
- Reselling fashion or accessories via Instagram and WhatsApp.
- Tutoring first-years in maths, stats and coding.
- Photography for hall week and graduations.
- Print, binding and past-questions services.
Rules before you start
Pick one, not three. Splitting attention is why most student hustles die in week four.
Take payment on delivery via MoMo, keep a simple record, and price for your time — not just your cost.
