Getting Free Help

Free help? Sound too good to be true? Yes, you can get free help by hiring college interns. College students are always looking for internships for school credit and real work experience. Contact your local colleges to place an ad. Most colleges will even put you in direct contact with the professors who teach the type of job duties the interns will be performing. The professors will usually recommend or advertise the position for you personally. It's a win-win for you and the student. Students in the fields of business, information technology, and marketing, among others, often make excellent interns.

Tip: Motivating Unpaid Interns and Volunteers

When the position does not involve money, offering employee discounts, free meals, and other gifts will help motivate and retain your employees.
