- go to LinkedIn
- enter your job title “digital marketing”, “data analyst”, “virtual assistant”, just play with different keywords
- click enter and filter to “jobs���
- set location (you can also add the location to your search)
Now, this is where it gets interesting. There are two categories of jobs on LinkedIn. The one posted directly on LinkedIn by companies (which can be applied to using easy apply) and one sourced by LinkedIn from external sources (mostly reroute you to company website or job aggregator platforms). Don’t apply through easy apply except you have an optimized LinkedIn profile that fits the job. What LinkedIn does is to save your profile as a pdf and use it as your resume
Now this is what I do
- instead of applying directly, I click on the job, scroll down to see who posted it, and send a connection request to the person. I also extend this request to two senior employees of the company (most times I just go after C-suite)
- the first thing they will do when they see your request is to check your profile. This is why an optimized LinkedIn profile is important because it makes it easier to know who you are and the values you can bring to their team
- they will surely accept your invitation if there’s an alignment. That gives you an opportunity to shoot your shot. What I do is to send something like “hi akin, I am wondering if you or anyone you know is in the market looking for an experienced content manager (if the job is content management)”.
Sure they will say you should apply through the link but what you have just done is to establish a first contact. To show high agency, I often take it further by saying something like “As agritech leaders seek to strengthen their online presence through long-form thought leadership content, I wonder if this is part of ABc content plan in Q4”. Majority of them will be interested in learning more about your view
Alternatively, just switch from “jobs” to “post” on LinkedIn search, set your location and hit the search button

She is 28 years old
Her real name is Eniola Stella-Maris Olanrewaju
She studied Computer Science at the University of Ibadan, but ditched coding for creative pursuits.
As a reserved, sheltered kid, she spent a lot of time locked indoors imagining stories instead of playing outside
She was scouted for modeling while in Lagos for an IT internship and walked Lagos Fashion Week 2017 for top brands like Lisa Folawiyo.
Initially thought models were "shallow" and hesitated before trying modeling.
Worked as a writer/content creator at Zikoko, where she convinced bosses to let her create the show HER by Zikoko.
Became Head of Content at Mr Eazi's emPawa Africa before going full-time on YouTube in 2020.
Her breakout YouTube video documented quitting her job and moving out of her parents' house at 22.
Spent three days camping at Eko Hotel trying to interview Wizkid. The vlog went viral.
Created the hit dating show Love or Lies and the celebrity docuseries Flow with Korty.
Directed a documentary for Victoria's Secret in 2023, marking her international filmmaking debut.
Inspired a song by Afro-fusion artist Buju on his debut EP Sorry I'm Late.
Her mom worried about her extreme quietness as a child. She was basically her own best friend.
Korty once felt insecure about being too skinny and tall when she started modeling.
Claims her "superpower" is impeccable taste inherited from her parents.
Founded 'Any Production'.... her own film & TV network, while joking her "latest hobby is making money"
Korty is widely recognised as a breakout Nigerian creator documenting contemporary culture and Afrobeats stars like Rema, Tems, Ayra Starr, Tiwa Savage, Asake, Olamide, and other Afrobeats stars
She describes herself as sometimes a "little girl" sometimes an "old woman" and refuses the "influencer" label. she's a filmmaker at heartttt
.
.
.
One thing I have observed from Korty's media journey is that, she knew all the unfair advantage she has, and worked hard at maximising them.
Korty has an attractive look. In fact, I remember when people really compared her to Rema and said she had to be related to Rema (lol...she isn't BTW 😅)
She went for modelling as far back as 2017.
That already opened her to the media world.
And she probably said to herself "I'm beautiful and I love making vlogs. Why can't I just mix the both worlds together and make cool videos in the most stylish outfits and manners?"
Today, that single decision paid off massively and she worked soo hard to make sure she stayed on top of the trends and not become lost in the aggressive media world.
.
.
Today, I want you to learn something from Korty
If you know you have any unfair advantage, then please use it.
If you have a deep baritone voice, then use it for your contents.
It can be that you are so tall (like Layi Wasabi). And if you do contents as an exceptionally tall person, you will easily get people talking.
If you know you have a good facial structure and great hairline (lol), then you can start creating contents.
And if you are like me that loves to analyse and write... Then start putting more of it out there like I am currently doing.
.
.
Don't let anyone bully you into boxing yourself
Look for a way to combine your interests, and then use your unfair advantages greatly.
What is that one thing that you have, and you know that at least it's 1 in 30 people that have that same access like you do? That's your unfair advantage.
Like Korty used hers so professionally and creatively.
You can also find yours and aggressively use it to hasten your process and speed things up for you

Thank you very much for reading.
Kindly remember to stay hydrated today
@korty_EO is a good role model for our kids🚀🎉👏🏾👏🏾

I'm genuinely sad & surprised that you don't need Uni before you can make money in the US. 2 of my friends in the US never finished uni, but they work with airline companies, good pay & get to travel around the world. But my engineering BSC ass in Nigeria can't bag a 100k job.💔
Vent on X and make money.
Fool on Facebook and make money.
Fake it on Instagram and make money.
Mad on TikTok and make money.
You better start from one now
