How Students Are Making Money Online by Becoming Digital Product Traders on Vezill

Being a university or college student in Africa is not easy. Between rising tuition fees, expensive accommodation, daily expenses, and the increasing cost of living, many young people struggle financially. Even when parents try their best, the support is often not enough, leading many students into stress, debt, or side hustles that consume too much time.

But today, students no longer need to rely fully on parental support.
Thanks to digital transformation and the rise of online marketplaces like Vezill, students can now create, sell, and resell digital products and earn sustainable income from their phones, without affecting their studies.

If a student has:

They can easily scale digital sales.

Here’s how:

1. Post a video explaining your digital product

Platforms reward educational content → more reach.

2. Add your Vezill product link to your bio

Now anyone who sees your content can buy.

3. Create hype around your product

• “I made KES 20,000 today selling my digital product.” Buy it & resell it to make your money too.

• “This is how I’m paying my school fees without asking my parents.”

This motivates followers.

4. Resell multiple products

Sell:

• A PDF

More products = more daily money.

5. Let others resell your product

If you enable MRR:

• You earn from every resale

This is how students hit million-shilling levels.

If a product goes viral:

Many creators worldwide have done this, African students are now catching up through Vezill.
