Day 21 creating & filming the course on how to get paid to travel the world. It's been a wild ride of passion, hard work, and determination. Excited to share my journey and help others live their dreams too. Watch this space ☺️🔥

Have you ever noticed that the best ideas come to you in the shower? It's like the water washes away all the mental clutter and frees up space for creativity
I once borrowed 20k ($27) to buy a Fiverr course a few years back & it turned into millions of naira that same year!
😍💸 Talk about a life-changing moment, right? No! It's just betting on yourself & doing whatever it takes.
Now's the time to grab that course you bookmarked
5yrs ago, a lifestyle company I pitched my services to told me to find another career path.
Few months ago, the same company sent me a proposal with 10X the price I charged back then.
No, they had no idea I was the same person until recently.
Don't let them kill your spirit.✌️
Less than 2 weeks ago, I took a leap of faith and joined Twitter.
And now, I'm not just overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible organic reach I've gained in just a few days.
But the fact that I have even gotten two paid collaborations from brands.
Thank you everyone🙏
My first $5,000 as a content creator was a pure accident. So, GetFit NG approached me and other LinkedIn influencers to promote their fitness products, and even though the pay wasn't much, I went above and beyond to create 3 amazing video commercials.
🎉 Today marks a special milestone for me – I have reached 25,000 active email subscribers!
As I reflect on this journey, I'm reminded of the incredible power of storytelling in professional networking.
When I started sharing my journey here on LinkedIn, my insights, and the
One of the wildest things that happened to me last year was getting an all expense paid trip to Turkey from a brand I worked with.
It was a struggling bistro in Turkey and it was wild! because they had the capital/budget but didn't know how to grow and attract customers.
The very first UGC client I got paid me $2k for 2 video contents. 🥹My prices were right there in my portfolio but she didn’t even care. ($300 for 1 video)
Her: “Your portfolio could open literally any door. I could eat it”
And you wonder why I am obsessed with portfolios?
1 single comment can land you your dream job on LinkedIn. An uncommon LinkedIn strategy.
After I landed my second huge gig last year as a Linkedin Newbie, it opened my eyes to a whole different possibility.
Landing a retainer UGC contract yesterday further buttresses that point
Getting paid to travel the world is one turn in my career that I never thought possible.
It's been 4 weeks since I started filming the course on getting paid to travel & the more I work on it, the more excited I get. This is something special and I can't wait to share with you.
As I look back on my journey from a curious freelancer making less than $50 a month on Fiverr to a digital nomad with 100k+ followers on LinkedIn, traveling the world, and living my dream, there's one unsung hero in my story - mentorship.

🚀What Waking Up to Over 100 Leads in 24hrs Taught Me About Having a Portfolio🚀

I remember almost signing away my entire right in a contract back when I got my first huge contract as a brand strategist.
I had no clue there was a hidden clause that prevents me from working for similar brands for 4yrs ; plus other crazy stuff.
A lawyer friend saved me😭
I keep seeing articles & social media posts about how easy it is to quit your 9-5 job & become a freelancer.
While it's true that freelancing can be an awesome career choice, the idea that it's a quick and easy fix is a myth. In reality, freelancing requires a lot of hard work,
Hey loves❤️ Been a while here. What do you think about hiring UGC creators on Fiverr?
A brand I am working with needs 6 extra UGC creators & they kinda insist that I must use Fiverr.
I was hoping to hire from our community here on Twitter.

#ugccreatorswanted
Finding a circle of individuals with the same goal as you is a blessing.
I thought I was hungry and had such great drive until I met a few people. Nah!
They are starving! They are beasts!
That's all I need. The wavelength 🔥🔥This is home ☺️
I love me a good challenge.
I signed a $3k UGC deal last night & still got 100% creative freedom. I don't even know what to say. 4 videos only😭
This is me telling you that it is possible. It doesn't even matter what price you have on your portfolio.
The right people will never say you're too expensive.
So, someone used my UGC portfolio to apply to a lifestyle brand and I signed the contract the next day.
The brand posted our collaboration on their page and this lady slid into my Twitter DM to tell me that it would have been her & I stole her gig🤣
Are for real? What were you
How can I afford to invest in myself when I'm barely making ends meet? ✨

After packing my bags for my third vacation in a month, I knew I was doing something right because 4yrs ago, I was just a freelancer making less than $50 a month on Fiverr.
8 countries and counting later and I still can’t believe we are here and that is all thanks to Linkedin.
Landing huge international gigs on LinkedIn can sometimes be as easy as ABC. One thing I love about LinkedIn is this, you’re 100% guaranteed results if you hack the system.
My 2nd huge gig on LinkedIn was not even intentional. I just added a valuable comment under a post and
It’s 1 day to my birthday and the launch of the long awaited program on how to get paid to travel the world for free.
I have been off this space & the internet in general for almost a week. I needed time to rest because it’s been a crazy couple of months. This is the most
How to price your services as a freelancer/creative - This is a very delicate topic.
We all know how delicate this topic can be. It's like walking a tightrope, trying not to sound too cheap or too expensive, all while keeping those potential clients from running for the hills.
After waking up to over 100 leads from my portfolio a few days ago, it further buttresses the point that Investing in and optimizing your portfolio can work wonders for your career.
Not only does it answer necessary questions and seal deals, but it can also work for you while

I am scared of myself.
I have no idea what this little brain of mine is up to next.😩
My brain's going wild! 😩 with creative overdrive and sleep is a myth.

It’s been one brand deal after another ever since. Moral of the story? Always give it your all, even if it's for a seemingly small project. You never know what doors it could open. Your passion and dedication to your work can take you places you never thought possible.

My inbox has been buzzing from a LinkedIn post I made 2 days ago.
I have been particularly invested in creating and optimizing portfolios lately. Why?
Instead of waking up to messages like
"What do you do?"
You're waking up to
"How can we make payments?"
My first $1,500 job offer on LinkedIn came while I was sleeping - all because I had a portfolio website. I couldn't believe it! Because I had only 500 followers.
It was just preparedness meeting opportunity. Just imagine that portfolio was not there. Most creatives don't know

But how can you do that when you are broke?

You don’t usually find them. They find you. LinkedIn will teach you not to ever judge a book by its cover!
All you have to do is have a strong presence, give value and build a breathtaking portfolio. I am currently creating portfolio templates for creatives. Should be ready soon.

I was in this situation once as a teenager who was multitalented. I could do literally anything.

If you're serious about freelancing and content creation and you have no legal practitioner by your side, you're in for something totally disastrous.
These Hidden clauses can ruin you
@KennyNwokoye
The analogy shows us that perspective is everything in affiliate marketing. If you view a saturated market as an opportunity, you'll find ways to stand out and succeed. But if you view it as a lost cause, you'll miss out on valuable opportunities. It's all about perspective!

Thinking? I actually thought the gig came from inbound. Only to find out someone literally stole my portfolio to apply😂
Babe, all my info are right there!
What were you expecting?
Her: I thought they would send me a DM since I actually applied here on Twitter.
Wild!😩
And they even kept us on as a retainer! 🔥This is not the type of GIG you see everyday. Talk about a dream gig!
Lesson learned: customer service and convenience are key. Plus, treat every gig like it's your first or your last.
Not creatives and freelancers thinking they need to have clients first before they create a portfolio.
Most times, no one is willing to bet on a person who have no proof even if you offer to do it for free.

Struggling with selling on social media? Your missing piece might just be a unique strategy.
Copying others = Stress & no sales. Stand out in the crowded market by being YOU.
People love “Wierd”.
Have a great week.
It was tough, but it paid off - their ratings went from 3 to 4.6 stars and sales skyrocketed! But wait, it gets crazier - the brand loved our work so much that they treated us to an all-expense-paid trip to Turkey! Flights, hotel, food - the whole shebang.
I have 5 different portfolios for different things that I do. So much knowledge & experience with this that I can’t keep to myself.
That’s why I created a community to share so many things with.

Facts! I Saw the interview.
As humans, we need to critically analyze news from various sources to arrive at a well-informed opinion.
While there are reliable media outlets, others are biased. It is our responsibility to seek truth & filter the noise
Talk about having money that you don't know how to use. Tourist season was fast approaching & we had to be fast. We introduced sustainable packaging, developed new strategies and ran killer ad campaigns.
For all those asking if I am teaching UGC, no I am not, I am less than a year old in the field.
The BMC community is where I teach everything you need to know about portfolios and harnessing its power as a creative to land your dream jobs.
It's more than just a community.
So, here's the real question: how can you apply this same strategy to your business?
The answer is simple. Listen to what your audience and that of your competitors often complain about.
Find the loophole, provide a solution & dominate your niche✨
