Learn how to sell stuff in school

The life of a college student goes through a lot of things throughout the year. Problems, successes, girls, partying and much more. Problems are things that college students go through a lot since most are living on their own for the first time. As a college student a major thing we are faced by most of the times is money problem. College students always run short of money throughout the academic year. To solve the problem of money we students either take little jobs that we can bounce within our school schedule or do a lot of selling of items. For the latter, students either sell mostly textbooks or school instruments. They could also go on in selling, video games, phones, mp3 and many other things they normally roll with.
The task lays hence in finding the appropriate clientele for the student goods. Sometimes students can find a mate who will be willing to buy some of their stuff, also sometimes by word of mouth or by posting up flyers on noticeboards or kiosks you can get some responses for your stuff. However, selling on craiglist would be the easiest way to do your business attracting customers from your city. With that you could easily get your stuff sold without so much displacement. However selling on craiglist could get out of hand for college students as craiglist and other classified ad websites do not target a certain type of population and go on to whoever in the city.
Now with ads only destined for college students many students selling would want their ads to be focalized on students from their college only. With selling in our own college only, students could easily make contacts with other students and sustain their things. This would also avoid much movement.
The best way to solve this problem will be to create a student only marketplace to allow students to sell their stuffs to other students of their college and also giving them a platform to grow other students business to reasonable scales. Online will be the best source of such a student marketplace and after some search there are websites that give this opportunity to students. A particular interesting one is http://announceschool.com this is a website worth checking out.

Tools needed in the school community

College is a huge step in the life of a teen and even though it seems super exciting it has its huge share of rough moment. Living alone is not always easy and students will have to battle through a lot to overcome these problems. Luckily there are many tools to help the life of students to be easier.
On campus there are many organizations that would serve students probably for tutoring or textbooks and things in that sort. However students need some other tools to make them enjoy the whole college experience. Students want to meet other students in school and socialize. They want to be entertained, they want to go to all the cool events or sports games. They want to be able to effectively sell their items and make money. Some students want to be able to read whats going on or know the places to visit in the college town or city.
The internet represents the biggest place where many of these students needs can easily be satisfied. Luckily, there are several websites that can help that. Facebook is a major tool in this process, another one will be campuslive. An interesting upcoming website that will be a great tool for the student community is announceschool. The website was developed some time ago and it allows students to place up ads, events and much more as well as read news on it from your school. It also has a school marketplace, a site worth checking out. http://announceschool.com
Chatroulette was an interesting website for entertainment but due its nudity it has slowly gone downhill. So students check online for solutions to the college life rough times.
