How I Closed a 20million naira deal !

It’s late 2023. I’d just moved out of Nigeria. New environment, finding my feet. No job yet. But the bills? They didn't get the memo about my "finding my feet" phase.
I was looking for a way to generate income from afar. Then, a DM changed everything.

My friend, Femi, hit me up: “Austin, can you help market a property? Especially with your social influence?”

My first thought: Me? I'm not even in the country right now and won’t be back soon!
My ego initially scoffed. But then I paused. He was asking me, knowing I was thousands of miles away.

That’s the moment I realized: Femi saw a currency in my social media profiles that I was undervaluing. He wasn't relying on my physical presence; he was banking on my Social Currency (the trust, attention, and reach) I'd built over years online.

Your network is your net worth, even (especially) when you change continents.

This Social Currency is the Cow Milk. You nurture the cow (your profile/network), and it provides consistent, unexpected sustenance (opportunities/income).

I said, "Yes, send the details." Immediately, I called a trusted friend back home. "Go to this address. Get high-quality, professional shots."

I was the digital bridge; my team back home was the physical muscle.

I launched the campaign on my main channels: 2k+ on Facebook, 10k+ on Twitter (now X). I didn't just post the pictures; I told the story of the property, its value, and the opportunity.

The DMs started flowing in. People I'd never met were reaching out, ready to buy a near N20 Million asset based on my recommendation.

One of the core Lessons I learnt was: Intentionality.

You never know who's watching or following you online.

The buyer, who I still haven't met physically, saw my post, tracked me down, and trusted the process because of the content I'd consistently put out and the reputation I’d cultivated. Every post, every interaction, every time you add value, it’s all a deposit in your Social Currency bank. Be intentional and careful!

In less than four weeks, the deal was closed. A property sold, completely remotely, for close to N20,000,000. My Social Currency generated an income opportunity I couldn't have accessed with just my physical location or a traditional job search.

Why am I sharing this?

Stop viewing your social profiles as just a place to share memes, pass time or drag strangers.

See them as your digital real estate. A farm where you are growing your Cow of Opportunity.
Nurture it with value and trust.
When you need the milk (the income/opportunity), it will be there for you.

Don’t be shy.
You shouldn’t be ashamed to tell your story or market yourself. Those you’re scared of their opinion won’t feed you when hunger comes knocking.

What's one thing you can do this new month to deposit some value into your Social Currency bank?

There is a pandemic of people not having their mind anymore in Nigeria.
The media buyers have successfully captured majority while the victims are unknowingly losing their sense of reasoning or being logical.
APC started it in 2015. But the same script is being repeated and over used.
Nigeria might pay for it severely.

A particular presidential candidate recruited 5 influencers, 4,000 social media attackers, imported 4,000 techno phones in 2023 to tear this country down. Much of what you see online are influenced to paint the country black. That online mob has grown to 11,000.

China did not pull 800 million people out of poverty in 3 years. Dubai did not do it in 3 years. No nation did it in 3 years. Tinubu cannot pull 230 million Nigerians out of poverty in three years. What is he doing is putting the nation on the path to that recovery and growth.
