What is VTU Reselling?
VTU (Virtual Top-Up) reselling means buying airtime, data and utility services at wholesale prices and selling to customers at retail — keeping the difference as profit. It's one of Nigeria's most accessible small businesses, requiring little capital and no physical shop.
How Much Can You Realistically Earn?
| Daily Volume | Avg Profit/Transaction | Daily Profit | Monthly Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 transactions | ₦50 | ₦1,000 | ₦30,000 |
| 50 transactions | ₦60 | ₦3,000 | ₦90,000 |
| 100 transactions | ₦70 | ₦7,000 | ₦210,000 |
These are conservative estimates. Dedicated resellers processing 200+ transactions daily earn significantly more.
