Most small businesses can't afford proper marketing.

Not because they don't need it, but because a social media manager + designer + video editor costs more than they earn.

Picture this: a young woman works a 9-5 on the Island and sells perfumes on Instagram to support herself. After work she still has to come up with content ideas, take and edit photos, write captions, reply to every "price?" DM and post consistently.

She isn't failing because her perfumes are bad. She's burning out because good marketing needs a team, and she can't afford one.

In 7 years of marketing, I've said no to so many businesses because they couldn't afford agency fees. It never sat right with me.

Now AI has changed that. I'm building a marketing tool for anyone starting or scaling a business, so she can get a full week of content in minutes, not hours. No agency fees. No team needed.

So I want to hear from you: if you sell on Instagram or TikTok, what would you want a marketing tool to do for you? What takes up most of your time? What would you never want to touch again?

Is it that Nigerians just like suffering?
Who we should vote for shouldn’t even be a conversation right now.
Isn’t 4 years enough to understand what’s coming ahead if we permit him back to ASO ROCK?

My mechanic is owing me 200k worth of items, but my dad called and told me to forget about it.

What do I do?🫠

@Utibeabasiii Baba leave my house.

How bad do you want it?

[The Media Consultant @essienjohnn]

Hmmm, imagine people are able to own bikes and use it for dispatch, without ever riding it yourself.

Mr president, if you kill all of us, there are no leaders of tomorrow ohh!

[The Media Consultant @essienjohnn]

Whatever Tinubu and his administration are trying to do now with this PR is called deadline day shenanigans, you’re a horrible president!
It can’t be so deep..
Just do good!

[The Media Consultant @essienjohnn]

They are so many possibilities!
We keep striking till we strike water!

For 7 years, I’ve watched small businesses struggle with marketing. Not because their products were bad, but because they couldn’t afford a team.

A social media manager, a designer, and a video editor can cost more than the business earns. So the owner does it all alone: the ideas, the captions, the posting, the endless “price?” DMs. Many of them burn out.

I said no to too many of them because they couldn’t afford agency fees, and it never sat right with me.

So I’m building Bevel, @bevel_hq an AI marketing tool that helps anyone starting or scaling a business get a full week of content in minutes, not hours.

And if you’re a social media manager who wants to hustle, Bevel is for you too. Imagine serving more clients, delivering faster, and earning more without burning yourself out.

We’re not building this to serve ourselves. We’re building it for everyone.

But I don’t want to build in isolation. I want to hear your real struggles, so I’m hosting a live Google Meet:

📅 Monday, Oct 12
⏰ 7:30 PM
🔗 Register through the link in my bio

🎁 Everyone who joins the live gets their first month of Bevel free and early access when it launches.

Come tell me what takes most of your time and what you’d never want to touch again. Your voice will shape what we build. 🤝

What exactly was subsidized?

@ruffydfire But isn’t it just for a while?

[The Media Consultant @essienjohnn]

What if we all Boycott Airpeace for 6months?
They feel like we can't survive without them.

[Oyindamola🙄 @dammiedammie35]

Many passengers slept at the airport while waiting, and frustration grew so high that some almost clashed with Air Peace staff.

For over 24 hours, passengers on a Lagos to Kano flight have been stranded at the airport💔💔. The flight, which was supposed to depart early, was repeatedly postponed from 7 a.m. to 12 noon, and then to 4 p.m.

One flight, over 24 hours of delay.

We're starting to see Bevel @bevel_hq come to life.

This is the first working version of Linda, the AI sales assistant that will live inside Bevel.

Here, a seller has given Linda their business information, products, prices, stock and tone of voice.

A customer asks about a product, and Linda responds with the correct price and availability. When the customer shows interest, the conversation automatically moves from browsing → interested.

It's a small thing, but this is exactly what we're building toward: helping small businesses turn the attention they get online into actual customers.

We're still building. A lot more is coming.

Bevel is going to change how small businesses market and sell online.

Stay tuned. 👀

AI can do almost everything. So why can’t it do marketing?

[The Media Consultant @essienjohnn]

Just learnt how important customer experience is today.

[The Media Consultant @essienjohnn]

@itsMoveek Grace dey @the_boludada head!

[The Media Consultant @essienjohnn]

It would be unwise not to integrate @bachs_hq in whatever you're building.
Ask my team which platform they recommend for @bevel_hq and they all said BACHS!!!

@the_boludada Please keep making our work easy!
