[Elewachi | AI Automation Engineer ⭐ @elewachii]

Take a look at this DM I got..

go through it if you're a newbie with same problem..

when you're done reading..

here's what I want you to do..

instead of asking, "What niche should I focus on?"

Ask yourself better questions like:

- What type of businesses do I already understand a little?
- What business owners do I have access to?
- What repetitive problems do I notice people complaining about?
- Which businesses are already making money and can afford automation?
- Can I clearly explain how my automation will save them time, reduce errors, or increase sales?
- Do I enjoy working with this type of business?
- Can I build 2–3 useful automation examples for this industry?

Your niche will become clearer after you start building and talking to business owners..

For now, don’t overthink it..

Pick problems before picking niches..

Here's some Assignment to do if you care to..

= Assignment 1: Pick 3 industries

Choose any 3 industries around you. For example:
- Ecommerce vendors
- Real estate agents
- Coaches/consultants
- Logistics businesses
- Clinics
- Schools
- Small agencies

= Assignment 2:
List 10 repetitive tasks for each industry
Ask yourself:

“What does this business do every day that is repetitive, manual, stressful, or easy to forget?”

= Assignment 3:
Build 1 simple automation for each industry

Don’t build something too complex. Start with simple workflows like:
- WhatsApp lead capture to Google Sheet
- New form submission to Gmail/Telegram notification
- Appointment reminder system
- Order tracking sheet automation

= Assignment 4:
Turn each automation into a mini case study
Even if it’s a demo project, document it like this:

- The business problem
- The manual process
- The automation you built
- The tools used
- The result or expected result

= Assignment 5:
Talk to 10 business owners
Don’t pitch immediately. Ask questions first.
Ask them:

- What part of your work takes too much time?
- Where do you lose customers?
- What do you currently do manually?
- What would you love to automate if possible?
- How do you currently handle leads, orders, follow-ups, and customer support?

Their answers will show you where the money is..

The truth is, your niche is not something you always choose from your head.

Sometimes, your niche reveals itself through the problems you solve, the people who respond to you, and the industry that starts paying you.

So my advice is start broad, build proof, talk to people, study their problems, then narrow down later..

Don’t focus on becoming “the automation guy for one niche” too early..

First become the person who can identify business problems and build useful systems..

That skill will help you in any niche..

CHEMISTRY
THE COURSE THAT CAN TAKE YOU FAR, BUT NOT IF YOU TREAT IT LIKE “JUST LAB WORK”

When most Nigerians hear Chemistry, they think of someone wearing a white coat inside a lab mixing acid and base. That picture alone has killed a lot of career vision. Chemistry is not just titration and organic reactions. Chemistry is the backbone of materials, pharmaceuticals, energy, food manufacturing, coatings, environmental science, cosmetics, batteries, semiconductors, agriculture, medical devices and even space technology.

The global economy uses chemistry everywhere. Drug design is chemistry. Battery innovation for electric vehicles is chemistry. Semiconductor fabrication is chemistry. Food additives, preservatives and quality control is chemistry. Paints, adhesives, coatings and polymers is chemistry. Water purification is chemistry. Fertilizers, pesticides and crop protection is chemistry. Energy storage and hydrogen systems is chemistry. Cosmetics and fragrances is chemistry. Plastics, rubbers and packaging materials is chemistry.

So what is the problem? In Nigeria, industries that fully absorb chemists are limited or poorly developed. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a shadow of what it could be. Petrochemical sector is restricted and not scaling. Food manufacturing is big but most plants don’t invest in R&D, product improvement or analytical labs. Environmental management is still emerging. Cosmetic chemistry is booming informally but lacks regulatory structure. Universities train chemists but the local market doesn’t absorb them into serious R&D. That’s why many chemistry graduates end up teaching or changing careers entirely.

Meanwhile abroad, the same Chemistry graduates are entering high-paying industries like pharmaceuticals, biotech, nanotech, materials science, food science, water treatment, energy technology, analytical labs, QC/QA roles and chemical safety regulation.

Chemistry alone is not enough. Globally, chemistry converts into power only when it is combined with a lane. For example:
Chemistry + Biology = Biochemistry / Drug Design / Molecular Biology
Chemistry + Engineering = Chemical Engineering / Process Engineering
Chemistry + Computer Science = Computational Chemistry / Materials Simulation
Chemistry + Health = Toxicology / Clinical Lab Science
Chemistry + Environment = Water Treatment / Waste Management
Chemistry + Product = Cosmetic Science / Food Formulation
Chemistry + Regulation = Quality Assurance / Regulatory Affairs

Nigeria underutilizes these lanes because the industries have not matured, and we don’t fund research. No R&D budgets. No commercialization labs. No incentives for chemical innovation. Even our petrochemical sector is mostly about extraction, not conversion.

here are smart alignment moves:
1.Pick a lane instead of being “just a chemist.”
Pharma, Food, Cosmetic Science, Water, Energy, Environmental, Materials, Safety, etc.
2.Acquire the tools.
Analytical instruments (HPLC, GC-MS, AAS), QA/QC methods, SOPs, GMP documentation, basic computational tools.
3.Add certifications if abroad or planning to relocate.
ASQ, OSHA, GMP, Regulatory Affairs, Laboratory Safety, GLP, HACCP (for food), Cosmetic Formulation, Compounding.
4.For global roles, add chemistry + data.
Computational chemistry, molecular modeling, simulation, this is the future.
5.Portfolio matters.
Labs abroad want proof you can analyze, test, validate, interpret and document.

Now Nigeria side. Can Chemistry survive? Yes, but not with the “mix chemicals in a lab” mindset. The emerging areas where Chemistry can shine in Nigeria include:
• Food manufacturing (QC/QA)
• Cosmetic chemistry (huge informal market already)
• Water treatment & sanitation
• Environmental assessment & safety
• Agrochemicals & fertilizers
• Regulatory & compliance
• Pharmaceutical quality control
Chemistry becomes powerful the moment you attach it to a real-world industry.

@The_Movas 3 days training

[Hansel Praise @hannytalker]

Kola Adewale is the man who captures your wallet at 1 PM and at 1 AM.

​Kola Adewale was a smart guy (a First Class Accountant who worked at KPMG).

He left the corporate world to start a food business.

He launched "Papas Pizza."

He thought he would be the "Domino's" of Nigeria.

But there was a problem: Nigerians didn't want Pizza every day. The business was struggling.

Most entrepreneurs would have kept pushing the Pizza idea until they went broke.

Kola Adewale didn't. He listened to the market.

​He used a strategy called The Hybrid Pivot.

​Here is how he built the most popular food and lifestyle chain in Lagos:

He realized that while Pizza is "sexy," Rice is "essential."

He swallowed his pride, scrapped the "Pizza-only" model, and introduced the now-famous "The Place" menu (Asun, Jollof, Spaghetti).

He didn't try to be "Fancy" like a 5-star hotel. He tried to be "Tasty and Fast."

He re-engineered his kitchen to serve massive volume.

He teaches us that you must sell what people eat, not what you want to cook..

This is his genius.

A normal restaurant makes money for maybe 8 hours a day (Lunch and Dinner). The building sits empty at night.

Kola Adewale asked: "Why should I pay 24 hours rent for 8 hours of business?"

He turned his locations into Nightclubs after dark.

The same building that sells N2,000 rice in the afternoon sells N500,000 Hennessy at night.

He maximizes the Revenue per Square Meter.

He teaches us that Efficiency is making your Rent work for you while you sleep.

Unlike other founders who are always on social media making noise, Kola Adewale is invisible.

To get this picture (that I attached) of him was a difficult job.

You rarely see him grant interviews.

He focuses 100% on Operations.

He has opened over 20 outlets in strategic locations across Lagos and Kwara.

He proves that you don't need to be a "Celebrity CEO" to build a "Celebrity Brand."

He teaches us that Work does not need noise. Results make their own noise.

​Why am I telling you this?

​Many of you are holding onto a "Dead Idea."

​You started selling "Luxury Bags," but nobody is buying.

​You are afraid to switch to "Thrift Wears" because of shame.

​Kola Adewale teaches us to Pivot without Shame.

If "Pizza" is not paying the bills, start selling "Rice."

The goal of business is not to be right; the goal is to be profitable.

Kola's detour in business choice & operations focused strategy(Consumer choice, Quality, service delivery, affordability and availability of choices) are his competitive advantage birthed from deep review of what wasn't working.

Your business may require a different strategy. Bottomline question to ask is "What is the outcome you want to achieve?". Question what is not working (problem statement) then begin to identify the probable causes and what needs to change to fix this. If it includes detour, then so be it. If it requires publicity, visibility and advert, by all means carry on.

​I hope you learned something.

[Favour Y. @FavourYusuf1]

It's might not seem obvious, but as a freelancer or service provider, this is exactly how clients evolve and come into new levels of awareness.

3 months ago, this guy wasn't going to spend money on skincare.

No matter how good your pitch was.

No matter how smooth your sales page looked.

Fast forward a few months, and he's the one doing research.

Asking for recommendations.

Probably ready to drop ₦100K without blinking.

I know this because I'm going through the exact same thing.

I have a speaking engagement on Friday. There's a lil breakout on my forehead and a painful boil below my nose.

Suddenly, I'm googling skincare routines and asking friends what products actually work.

Meanwhile 3 months ago, a lady DM'd me after I posted about landing a new dollar gig.

Her pitch was something like: "I can help you make your skin look smooth and clean."

My polite response: "I'm not interested right now."

I genuinely wasn't.

I'm the guy who showers, gets dressed, and walks out.

My skin? Never thought about skincare beyond basic hygiene.

But today, I'd probably pay her immediately if she messaged me again.

So what changed?

The problem didn't change. My skin has always needed care.

What changed was my context. My circumstances. My level of awareness.

And there's a lesson in there if you sell anything, especially if you have digital skills.

That lady probably looked at my profile and thought "this guy can afford what I'm selling."

She was right.

But she positioned her offer as "smooth, clean skin" which felt like vanity to me at the time.

Here's what her offer should have been (and what would close the guy in that tweet above):

"I help people who need to show up on camera or in front of crowds look professional and polished every single time."

Then focus on:

- Content creators recording daily
- Newscasters who need to be camera-ready
- MCs and comperes standing in front of hundreds
- Anyone whose face is part of their professional brand

For those people, skincare isn't vanity. It's business infrastructure.

For them, a clear face isn't about looking pretty. It's about looking credible, professional, put-together.

It's about not being distracted by a breakout when you're trying to close a speaking gig or record content that could blow up.

Those people value smooth skin waaaayyy more than regular folks who just want to "look okay."

Same service. Same products. Completely different positioning.

And that positioning determines whether someone scrolls past your pitch or stops and says "wait, I need this right now."

The difference between "I offer skincare" and "I make sure you look professional every time you show up" is the difference between struggling to close clients and having people beg to work with you.

Same skills. Different framing. Different clients. Different money.

Most freelancers are pitching to everyone hoping someone bites.

But the ones making real money are the ones who've figured out who values their skill the most, and they position directly to that person's context.

If you want to know how to position your skill in a way that makes you irresistible, comment "Positioning" and I'll send you a DM.

P.S Please RT if you found this interesting so more people can see it.

NYSC is not cruise.

A smart person knows this.

They use their NYSC to make their CV look better..

How...

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICE(CDS).

Some of you don't know that you can use your CDS activities as volunteering on your CV that's if you actually did something meaningful.

When you see fellow corpers trying to do projects.. they have a plan...a goal.

Some are targeting awards..

Some are targeting jobs.

Some want something to document for a scholarship they want to apply for.

You want to apply for a scholarship abroad to study adult education...

You are posted to a school..

You can talk to the community and organise classes for adults in that community who are interested..

Document it.

Now imagine applying for a programme under the Erastus-mundus or chevening scholarship that has to do with adult education..

You write in your statement of purpose how you organised classes for adults to help improve their literacy and then link it to one of the UN SDGs...

As a medical laboratory scientist, a nurse or doctor in a rural area..you can do outreaches during your service year..

You are a graduate of chemistry or microbiology with bias for research on the environment...

You can do a a chemical analysis of the soil or source of drinking water in that community..

You can do it in conjunction with other corpers in your field. Do it in form of a project work and keep it..

You can approach a private laboratory and talk to them about your plans and see if they can run the analysis for you at a discount..

Based on your findings, you can talk to the community about how to improve the situation. You can even bring the attention of the local government to it if the results are not too good..

Now imagine how good this will look on your CV when you are pitching for a scholarship?

I am not saying this will work..

I am just sharing ideas on the opportunities i see that fresh graduates can utilise to make their profile better.

This will enable us think outside the box.

Blog posts are not the only thing you can offer a client.

Content writing is not limited to blogging.

Here are other high-value services clients will happily pay you for.

Sometimes way more than they’d pay for a blog post:

1. Email Sequences

Email marketing delivers results fast, especially when you write:

-Welcome sequences
-Abandoned cart emails
-Sales launch countdowns
-Customer re-engagement flows

Great emails brings more clicks.

And more clicks brings more sales.

Which means more pay for you.

2. Case Studies

These are storytelling, marketing and social proof all in one basket.

Clients love them because they do the heavy lifting of trust-building.

→ You interview a happy customer
→ turn it into a success story
→ the business gets more leads.

It’s one of the easiest upsells for content writers.

3. Landing Page Copy

This is not your average article.

It’s where conversion meets creativity.

You help brands:

– Get sign-ups
– Sell offers
– Turn page views into paying customers

If you’re good at this, one page can pay 3–5x what a blog post does.

4. Product Descriptions

Especially for SaaS and eCommerce writers.

Short, clear, benefits-first copy that speaks to the customer’s need.

If you enjoy tight messaging, this is for you.

5. White Papers & Reports

This is where B2B content writers thrive.

It’s research-heavy and data-driven.

And clients pay premium for it because it positions them as industry leaders.

Perfect if you love going deep into a subject.

6. Social Media Content

Brands want visibility.

They want targeted and strategic content.

You can write:

- Twitter/X threads
- LinkedIn posts
- Carousel captions
- Instagram storytelling

If you’re online anyway, you might as well get paid to help others grow online too.

7. Content Strategy

This is what separates writers from consultants.

You’re helping clients:

- Decide what content to create
- Align it with business goals
- Build a content calendar
- Track performance

Strategy pays more because it saves time and gets results.

So, dear content writer,

If you’ve only been offering blog posts, it’s time to expand your skills and your value.

Your words can convert, educate, inspire and most importantly, SELL.

Learn how to offer the right format for the right goal.

And if you’re just starting and not sure which one fits you best, start testing.

- Pick one service,
- Offer it for free or cheap
- Gather proof and scale from there.

The writing market is bigger than Medium and blog articles.

You just have to open the door and walk in.

Shalom🌹

Client: "How much for a website?"

Wrong answer: "It depends"

Better answer: "My typical range is from $2,000-$8,000 depending on complexity. What's your budget range so I can recommend the best approach for your goals?"

Lead the conversation. Don't follow it.

After 6years, my mother still doesn't understand what I do for a living... And I've realised it's for the best.

I'll tell you why.

I remember a day when she called me worried.

"Kenny, when are you going to get a real job? Is it all this online online stuff you want to do with your life? That my friends son just got promoted to bank manager. He has security, pension, respect."

I looked at my laptop screen showing ₦7.2 million revenue for the week and smiled.

(More money than her friend's son makes in months)

"Mummy, I'm doing well. Business is good."

"But what do you actually DO? I can't tell people what my son does for work."

Then she said something that made everything click:

"All this computer stuff... I don't understand it. None of my friends understand it either."

Bingo!

That's exactly why it's so profitable.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪʟʟɪᴏɴ ᴅᴏʟʟᴀʀ ʟᴇꜱꜱᴏɴ:

⤑When I started making money online, my parents said "get a real job."
