Not content related, but I understand her perfectly. In 2014/2015, when I started e-commerce, the first product I sold was football jerseys. I was selling through bbm then, and a few friends
One day, I was driving to pick my sis from school, and I used to pass konga headquarters

Had to borrow money from my mom bought in bulk and shipped
If you bought a Nigerian jersey during World Cup 2016 or so, it was from my store, lol.

3 years ago I was in paid employment earning 70k per month, while I was running a business that was generating a net of 200k per month ( on bad days)
But I was stuck in the paid employment for 2 reasons
1. It was oil and gas company and the potential were endless ( I thought)..

To cut the story short, I got into the meeting with directors and managers on a round table of men of high caliber
They told me to supply them 1000 jerseys as the first batch ( bear in mind the most I've sold on my own is probably 50 with bbm then lol )

Some brands don't understand that likes and comments are vanity metrics
Anyone can just buy this.
Niche influences are a big deal too its not by number of massive followers but by the influence the figure can have on the followers and how strong it is.

It was overwhelming, because firstly, I'm a nobody ( to them ), I'm not coming there with a three piece suit to sell a proper business with quality and compelling proposals and documentations to them

at yaba, this was my daily routine because I didn't have a job, I just sold jerseys to keep my body and soul together while I searched for a job

One day, passing through their headquarters, I ruminated. Why don't I sell jerseys to the monumental company

Security held me back off course. I softly spoke to him, and I had a meeting, and I would like to see the receptionist. With alil hesitation, he obliged to let me in.
I walked up to the receptionist and told her I would like to speak with the department handling sports

I replied "ok" I then asked for his email that I would like to keep in touch incase they change their mind
He then asked me, "Do you know anyone here, or did you book a meeting?, because we don't allow anyone here like this"
I replied, "No, just want to sell on your platform"

She looked at me with slight disgust ( I don't blame her, lol ) and asked, "Do I have a meeting?" I replied, "No. "
She then said the sales manager for sports won't be back till 7, I said I'll wait...
I waited, and by 7, he arrived. He definitely gave me no regard but...

I didn't care, I told him my name what I do and that I would like to sell on konga.
He replied, "How old are you? Told him, I'm 25, he then replied I'm sorry, but we don't sell from third parties, we just launched last year, and we are not looking to sell jerseys

Because you can't compete by reducing your prices always. You will go bankrupt one day
Instead find an angle or creative thing to do to accentuate your brand or sales.
E.g whenever you buy a custom leather shoes from us you get a free polish and shoe brush. That simple

2. Sell what your audience REALLY want. : yep! simple but highly overlooked.
It's like
aggressively marketing a limited edition gold plated latest edition blackberry phone when you majority of your audience want and iPhone or samsung phone....

3. Your offer : Highly important but overlooked. Give a better offer than the competition. Give an offer that your audience will up all night and will wake up the next morning to order and no you don't have to reduce your price...

I just want to say this because I had a discussion with some affiliates this week and I had to make something clear to them.
Because some guys in the internet space are not showing alerts everytime doesn't mean they are not cashing out big time. Like massively.

Also add subtitles

If i may add. Opay is an arm of opera and the primary objective of opay is to activate perpetual utilisation of their payment gateway. In other words, Opay as an "okada hailing" company is not making profit, rather the payment gateway is which is opera from processing commissions

Selling on tik tok made easy and how you can integrate it to Facebook.

Another inspiring story of mine, always follow your gut, always. If you fail, it's fine. But you won't live with regrets
I remeber last year when I started this business that has done more than 50m in revenue within a year
I saw the opportunity, began research on it and stumbled on a guy who was my friend from way back that was in the biz but stopped
Told him we should collaborate and restart it

If you don't want to smell like the "regular" or common scents out there and you want to stand out every and anywhere you go this is your best bet. Infact If you wear it on the first week and you don't get massive compliments. Don't patronize us again. We are that confident

Whats my point?
In summary
1. Bet on yourself
2. Start a business as early as possible if you upto to it ( I started my business before the oil and gas employment, just never took it serious till I quit. So I've been 8 years in business)
3. Learn a high demand skills

60k spent on ads in 2 days no conversions ( got some leads though)
Will I stop running ads? No
Do I see it as an expense? No
Do I see it as an investment ? Yes
What do I do now?
Go back to the drawing board and tweak
This the reality of ads sometimes they won't tell you

Had a convo today
"I Spend 100k in ads to get one customer that will pay you 60million to buy a house and you get 2millon in commission.
But if you don't build authority and you ain't consistent it can't work.
Also must be ready to spend heavy on traffic to see great leads"

You made 100k
Someone made 10,000,00
Someone else made 100,000,000
Someone made 5,000
Lesson:
- You’re always ahead of someone else.
- Someone is always ahead of you.
Compete with yourself.
You are your only competition, so focus on your own life and your own milestones.

Free advice from me that has done at least 100m in revenue for businesses on fb
Focus more on creatives
Go broad
Audience targeting is dead or almost
Make your offer on point.
Once again focus heavily on creatives nothing else's matters as much as that on fb

How to sell like a pro in current Nigeria
1. Research a market or niche and validate it
2. Look for the products to sell in that market
3. Now, the best part is to learn how to bundle products to stand out
E.g,instead of selling just an Shoe, add a free brush and polish

I know this might sound brash but you can't create wealth if you are not investing properly
Selling won't cover that hole.
Money management is highly key
Sell
Invest
Because you are good at selling dosent mean you should spend like there is no tomorrow.

One of the best ways to cushion the effect of the volatile naira for yourself is generating constant cash flow and deciphering what you can sell currently
