Reseller earnings

How resellers make money on VTUking

Your profit is the gap between the reseller rate you pay and the price you charge. This page shows how that gap compounds, using the numbers our resellers actually trade on.

Work it out

Set your volume and margin

Move the sliders to match how you plan to trade. Profit is calculated as sales per day multiplied by margin per sale.

10

Ten sales a day is a realistic first month for someone selling to people they already know.

₦220

Buy a gigabyte at ₦330 and sell it at ₦550, and your margin is ₦220.

Per day ₦2,200
Per week ₦15,400
Per month ₦66,000

These figures are an illustration of how margin and volume combine, not a promise of income. What you earn depends on the rates at the time, the products you sell, and how many customers you serve.

A worked example

Jennifer sells data in her hostel

Jennifer buys data on VTUking at ₦330 a gigabyte. She is a student, so her customers are the people in her hostel and her lecture halls, and they are used to paying between ₦550 and ₦600.

She sells at ₦550. That is ₦220 kept on every gigabyte. Ten transactions a day, which is a slow day in a full hostel, comes to ₦2,200. Across a month that is roughly ₦66,000, and at ₦600 a gigabyte it is closer to ₦81,000.

She holds no stock, keeps no float with an agent, and delivers instantly, because the platform sends the value the moment she confirms.

More than data

Five products, one wallet, one customer base

Every customer who trusts you for data is a customer who will pay you to handle the rest.

Highest volume

Data bundles

MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile. The product people buy most often, and the one that builds the habit.

Steady

Airtime

Sell the exact amount a customer asks for. No rounding up, no hunting for change.

Monthly

TV subscriptions

DSTV, GOTV and StarTimes renewals come round every month, which makes them predictable repeat income.

Essential

Electricity tokens

PHED, IKEDC, EKEDC and AEDC. Charge a service fee for handling it, or earn on the commission.

Seasonal

WAEC scratch cards

Exam season concentrates demand. Buy and print online, then sell to students directly.

Premium

Virtual USD card

Fund a dollar card from naira for customers who need to pay merchants that only accept USD.

Getting started

Three steps to your first margin

01

Fund with ₦1,000

That is enough for your first few gigabytes. Grow the float from your own profit rather than from savings.

02

Publish a price list

Put your plans and prices on WhatsApp status and Instagram. Price just under what your customers pay today.

03

Sell, deliver, repeat

Delivery is automatic, so your only job is finding the next customer and keeping the wallet funded.
