“The Girl Who Powered Her Home for Free” Meet Joyc, BuyPower’s Queen of Referrals

Simbi -

It’s been months since Joyc paid a kobo for electricity, and nope, she’s not living off-grid. She’s just discovered the ultimate cheat code with BuyPower’s referral program.

We sat down (virtually, of course) with Joyc to find out how she’s lighting up her home, charging her phone, and staying powered up without touching her salary.

BuyPower: Hi Joyc! First things first, is it really true that you haven’t paid for electricity since… February?!

Joyc (laughing): Yes, oh! Since February 4th, to be exact. I remember the date because I was telling my friend, “This is the last time I’m buying electricity with my money!” And so far, I’ve kept that promise.

BuyPower: How?! Tell us your secret, is it magic or what?

Joyc: No magic, just BuyPower and my big mouth!
I started using the referral feature in the app. I’d been buying electricity from BuyPower for over a year, but I never paid attention to the “Referral” button. One day, I tapped it out of boredom and saw I could earn money when people used my referral link.
I was like: Wait. I can get paid for just sharing this thing?! Count me in!

BuyPower: So what did you do next?

Joyc: I went straight to WhatsApp. I sent my referral link to my family group chat, you know, where 50 people talk and only 3 people are useful, and I told everyone, “If you’re still queuing to buy electricity outside, you’re on your own!”

I told them they’d get tokens instantly through the BuyPower app, and I get a little thank-you bonus when they use my code. I even helped some of them install it.

BuyPower: And the money started rolling in?

Joyc: Yes! I referred like 10 people that week alone. Each time one of them made a payment, I got a little commission. By the end of the month, I had earned enough to cover my March electricity bill. Since then, I’ve been referring consistently. I don’t wait — as soon as someone complains about NEPA or says, “How do I buy light?” I just send my code

BuyPower: You make it sound like a lifestyle! What’s been your biggest month so far?

Joyc: Haha! April has been my power month! I earned over ₦8,000 just from referrals. And guess what? I used some to recharge, and the rest went into my BuyPower wallet. I’m calling it my “BuyPower Bag”

BuyPower: Any tips for people who want to copy your style?

Joyc: Yes! Three things:

  1. Don’t gatekeep good things; tell people about BuyPower.
  2. Share your link often on WhatsApp, Instagram, anywhere.
  3. Follow up and remind your friends to use your link and complete a transaction. That’s where the magic happens!

BuyPower: Last words?

Joyc: Electricity is expensive enough, why pay for it if you don’t have to?
If I can power my house without spending my own money, you can too. Refer people, earn cash, and light up your life literally!

Want to earn like Joyc?

Open your BuyPower app, tap on “Referrals”, copy and share your referral link.
Refer 6 people who make a transaction, and you’ll get ₦3,000. Just like that.

Stay powered. Stay winning.
