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.
