CampusHive – Student Skill & Service Marketplace

On campus, each student possesses special talents: some are experts in graphic design, coding, or video editing; others are experts at event management, photography, music, or even gadget repair. Now these abilities are left untapped or traded on an ad-hoc basis without formality or reward.

My solution is CampusHive, an online marketplace where students can provide their expertise and services to fellow students in return for payment or credit.

Here's how it works:

Profiles & Listings: Students put up their services 

Booking & Payments: Peers can scan services, book directly, and pay securely on the platform (UPI/Paytm).

Ratings & Reviews: Each completed service earns a rating, establishing trust and reputation for student freelancers.

Community Add-On: Students can exchange services — e.g., coding assistance in return for video editing.

Why unique?

Converts campus into a mini freelance economy, enabling students to make money with their abilities.

Creates a portfolio: services and ratings also serve as evidence of work for future employment.

Fosters collaboration and less reliance on expensive outside services.

Who are the beneficiaries?

Service providers: Side income and experience for students.

Service seekers: Inexpensive, fast, peer-driven assistance.

Campus community: Improved networking, cooperation, and appreciation of latent skills.

Monetization:

Platform takes 10–15% transaction commission.

Premium profiles for high-rated students (highlighted listings).

Subscription for unlimited service postings or advanced tools.

Why it matters to me?: I’ve often seen students pay outsiders for design, printing, or music lessons — even though peers on campus could do it better and cheaper. This system ensures money and opportunities stay within the student community.

  • Absolutely brilliant concept! CampusHive perfectly taps into the hidden talent ecosystem that already exists within every campus. Turning peer skills into a structured, trusted marketplace not only empowers students financially but also builds real-world experience and collaboration. This could truly redefine campus culture and student entrepreneurship! 🚀👏
  • Peer-to-peer payments and service exchanges could face disputes, plagiarism, or low-quality work. Without robust verification or mediation, trust might break down quickly.
  • I like that the platform’s community-driven approach builds stronger campus connections, making skill-sharing feel collaborative and fun
  • CampusHive empowers students to monetize their talents, turning hobbies like photography or design into real income sources.
  • By addressing the gap in formal skill-trading, CampusHive creates a win-win for both service providers and seekers.
  • This is a brilliant idea for creating a mini-freelance economy on campus and helping students build their portfolios. It's a solid concept, though a clear dispute resolution feature would make it even more trustworthy. A much-needed and valuable platform!
  • CampusHive is a clever way to harness student skills, creating a mini-economy that keeps money and opportunities on campus.
  • Sounds like a really cool way for students to make money using skills they already have. I like that you can book services and pay right on the app, and the ratings help you know who’s legit. It’s smart how it keeps things within the campus so people don’t have to spend extra on outsiders. It definitely seems like something I’d try and recommend to friends.
  • It fosters collaboration and cuts reliance on expensive outside services, strengthening the campus community.
  • The secure payment system via UPI/Paytm makes transactions seamless and trustworthy, a big plus for student users.
