Turning NSFAS Funds Into Profit: A Student’s Bold Move

So here’s the scoop. This young man, a TikTok user known as @b33kayt1, decided to take a calculated risk. He used his NSFAS allowance to dive headfirst into the world of dropshipping. For those who might not know, dropshipping is an e-commerce business model where you sell products without having to handle the inventory. It’s all about connecting buyers and suppliers seamlessly. At first, it was a slow burn, but as time went on, the business started picking up steam.

And then came the moment of truth. His first payment arrived, and it was nothing short of spectacular. He earned R1,650 for his initial efforts. But that was just the beginning. As the hours ticked by, his earnings skyrocketed. In just two hours, he made an astonishing R11,000. By midnight, with two more orders under his belt, he had racked up R14,000. Imagine the look on his face—speechless doesn’t even begin to cover it.
