They Laughed When I Started Selling Data Now They’re My Customers
When I first told my friends I wanted to start selling data and airtime, they laughed. “You? VTU business? That one wey profit small?” they said. It stung, but deep down, I knew something they didn’t I wasn’t chasing instant money, I was building consistency.
At first, things were slow. I’d post my Inlomax link every day, yet nobody seemed interested. Sometimes I’d even buy data for myself just to feel like I made a sale. But I didn’t stop. I kept learning, kept promoting, and most importantly, I stayed consistent.
Then one day, something shifted. A friend who used to laugh at my posts sent me a message: “Bro, please send me 5GB MTN.” That first sale from a doubter felt better than ₦10,000 profit. It proved one thing people always notice when you don’t give up.
Now, those same people who doubted me buy from me every week. Some even ask how to become Inlomax agents themselves. My small hustle that everyone mocked has turned into a daily source of income and peace of mind.
So if you’re in this business and nobody believes in you yet, don’t worry. Just keep posting, keep showing up, and keep serving your customers well. The same people laughing today will soon ask, “How did you do it?”
Never stop hustling. Consistency turns doubters into customers.
