This document provides steps for students to pay their fees by starting a business baking goods for fellow students. It recommends first developing favorite recipes and marketing through free samples to gain word of mouth promotion. Students should then determine if they can legally sell goods and potentially set up a stall at a farmer's market. Market research with fellow students can identify popular items beyond cookies and cakes. Creating an online fan base through social media and loyalty programs can help build customers. Pricing items correctly based on costs and competitor prices is also important to generate a few hundred dollars per month to help pay school fees.
