The 60-Minute Cash Plan

10m

Find What to Sell (0-10 min)

Look around your house: unused phone, extra charger, headphones, power bank, fashion items, accessories. Price to sell fast— ₦500-₦1,000 below market.

15m

Create Listing (10-25 min)

Use Selify's quick listing. Take 3 clear photos, write "Available for immediate pickup/delivery" in title. Price aggressively—profit is secondary to speed right now.

20m

Blast Your Network (25-45 min)

Share to: WhatsApp Status, 5 active Facebook groups, Telegram channels, Instagram Stories. Message 10 people who've bought from you before.

15m

Close & Deliver (45-60 min)

First serious buyer gets it. Meet at nearest safe location (fuel station, mall entrance). Confirm payment before handing over item.

Avoid These "Quick Cash" Traps

  • Task apps promising money for "simple tasks" — usually advance-fee scams
  • Crypto/forex schemes with guaranteed returns — if it's too good to be true...
  • Loan apps with excessive permissions and harassment
  • "Click to earn" sites that never pay out

The only legitimate fast money comes from selling real products to real buyers.

Safety First (Even When Rushed)

  • Meet in public, well-lit areas (fuel stations, shopping plazas)
  • Confirm payment in your bank app before handing over items
  • Bring a friend if possible, or let someone know where you're going
  • Keep initial communication on Selify before moving to calls
