Please retweet the first tweet to share with your friends.

Let's get this party started.

Earlier this year, I got a call for a job in Dubai.

I was referred by my old boss Coach Isaac who I worked with in 2017.

When I was working with him, my salary was ₦15,000 only.

I had just completed my final exam from YABATECH

I could look for a higher paying job but I wanted to learn.

Crossfit wasn't popular then and he said he was going to train me to become a crossfit coach.

I was living in Ipaja and the gym was in Yaba so I asked if I could be sleeping in the gym as I did in my last job.
He said he had an empty bedroom in his house, I could stay there during the week and go home on weekends.

I told my parents and they agreed {well they didn't have a choice, I had taken lots of risk to work in the past}
The first day i slept in his house, I slept on the couch.

He said he'll buy a mattress the next day.

The next day, there was a giant mattress in the house with a new pillow, bedsheet, duvet etc..
I lived with Coach Isaac for 4 months.

Every month, he stocked the house with groceries so I didn't have to spend a dime on food.

The gym wasn't too far from the house so I sometimes take ₦50 keke napep to the gym, other times I walked and at night, he drives us home.

My work time was 2pm - 10pm

Coach Isaac took morning classes and i was understudying during the evening classes.

After about 2 months, he started allowing me to coach the evening classes.

I also did some administrative work when i was there. I told him I wanted to contact all the old clients and check up on them.

He bought me a book, I wrote all their numbers and called everyday.

Once weekend, i took the book home because i wanted to keep calling clients


When i opened the book,i saw ₦19,000 inside.

I kept it and when I returned on Monday, i told him I found the money in the book.

He said he had been looking for it, it was a client's gym subscription and the receptionist didn't know where she put it.
I was still living in his house when i got my first private client in Ikoyi who i charged ₦36,000 for 12 sessions.

The client trained at 5am so I had to leave the house by 4am.

It was difficult getting a bus from Marsha that early so i negotiated with a bike man.
The bike man will pick me up from the house to CMS then I'd take those small car they use as cab to Falomo.

I can still remember how the breeze used to blow me on the bridge and I'd be so cold, I didn't have a sweater
didn't even think to buy one cos all my money was going back into learning one thing on the other.

I was so obsessed with improving myself.

I keep remembering the stories I was told about how my dad had money before I was born.
I swore that I'd never let that happen to me.

Let me suffer now then enjoy later..I didn't want a grace to grass story.

I only worked with Mr Isaac for 4 months, he later referred me for a job in Lekki to help manage the gym at Ediye {it was run by Alibaba's wife}
They told me to observe for 1 week, during that 1 week I got another job offer at Ifitness and I went for the interview.

Ediye wanted to pay me ₦60,000 salary

Ifitness offered ₦40,000 with an opportunity to earn commission, personal development etc.

Guess the one I chose


If you've been reading the story well you'll know I'm obsessed with self improvement.

I chose Ifitness, the one with the lesser pay.

I declined Ediye's offer.

I kept in touch with Mr Isaac

Attended his gym anniversary

Hello here and there once in a while

When i had my spine injury and had to quit my job, he told me to come to the gym so his in-house physical therapist could work with me.
I went to Surulere from Sangotedo twice a week.

At a point I got tired because the pain wasn't improving so I stopped going for physical therapy and distanced myself.

He still kept on checking on me
Early this year i got a call from Mr Isaac that a company needed a personal trainer in Dubai.

I started making excuses on how I couldn't work in a gym cos of my injury.

Mr Isaac said you'll be fine, they don't lift heavy weights like us here just speak to the person first.
I got on the call and it was a personal training job, I didn't have to work in the gym.

They told me about their offer

I spoke to Mr Isaac and he told me to ask them some other details about about transportation etc.

They said a car and a driver will be assigned to me.

As I'm writing this section, there's tears in my eyes.

This thread is first an appreciation tweet to Mr Isaac for always having my back.

Mr Isaac, you're the angel God sent to me from heaven.

I have never done anything for you but you keep giving selflessly.
Not once did you make me feel uncomfortable in your home.

Not once have you ever asked for anything in return.

All you've ever done is give to me

Like a father, an uncle, a brother, a teacher, a coach, an angel.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you coach Amadi Isaac

Secondly I want to applaud myself for how far I've come.

Damn Beatrice

You have grown so much

How can you not see this

I sometimes forget where I'm coming from and this tweet is to remind of me of how far I've come.

Dear Beatrice,

I know you're not even close to where you want to be but never forget where you're coming from and how much obstacles you've overcome.

Not even a spine injury could hold you back.

I love you so much Ọbá

You are King, You are Royalty

Never forget that. Ever.

I'm trying to empty my naira account.

If you're in Dubai and would like to change dirhams to naira, send me a WhatsApp message on +2348139718713 Exchange rate ₦145 for 1 AED

Would you like to make steady 6 figure income monthly as a personal trainer?

Here is a step by step process on how to begin your personal training career ⬇️⬇️⬇️

STEP 1 - Get certified

Becoming a personal trainer goes beyond enjoying exercise, you need to know the science behind it. You need to understand how the body works, the different body type and how they respond to exercise.

There's no one size fits all to achieving fitness goals.

There are several institutions that offers personal training certification in Nigeria and abroad:

1. Institute of Registered Exercise Professionals (@irep_learning on IG)
2. American Institute of Sports Medicine - ACSM
3. American Council on Exercise - ACE
4. National Academy of Sports Medicine - NASM
5. Shaw Academy

Amongst others.

STEP 2 - Apply for a job

As a newbie, working with a gym will help you gain experience.

You learn how to use the latest equipments plus a free gym subscription.

You can earn up to 6 figures per month (plus commissions) depending on the gym.

STEP 3 - Show your work

You've got to have active social media accounts.

Share your exercise videos

Show people how to do different types of exercise

Show them how to use a new equipment

Follow fitness enthusiasts

Attend fitness events

Tell everyone what you do - Word of mouth remains the greatest type of advertising.

STEP 4 - Find other ways to make money

Organise fitness programs

Collaborate with other personal trainers

Take a nutrition course and create meal plans

Sell sporting goods (gym equipments, supplements, footwear etc.)

STEP 5 - Take CPD courses

Continuous Professional Development courses will help you on your journey to becoming an expert.

You can also take other related courses like nutrition, sports nutrition and so on. Never stop learning

For the first time ever, I want to teach aspiring personal trainers how to get into the fitness industry and start making money.

The course title is "The Personal Trainer Blueprint"

At the end of this course:

1. You will know the best institute to get your certification
2. You will know the best gym to apply for a job
3. You will learn how to attract paying customers
4. You will know the best place to buy equipments at wholesale price
5. Most importantly, you will avoid all errors I made in 4 years of being a personal trainer.


As a bonus;

I will give you referrals for well paying jobs and I will teach you my unique method of attracting well paying customers.

This course will be a 2 days exclusive training and I will be taking just 20 students.

When I launch this course on the 15th of June, the price will be ₦50,000 but if you pay today, you can get it at ₦15,000 only.


This offer expires at exactly 11.59pm tonight

Hello, my name is Oreoluwa Mustapha, I love my name so I'd always like to introduce myself first.

I'm about to post a very good content on affiliate marketing but this will do you no good if you don't know how to build a good whatsapp audience first.

So you're going to be learning that from a friend of mine, Olowe Tobi, an expert digital skills coach, content creator, video ad creator and brand manager.

Once interested participants are complete, I'll post the content on Affiliate marketing.

Now Focus
This is a class, you would only gain maximum value for your time if you listen attentively. You might want to grab a pen and a book, get seated and get ready.
Are you set? Yeah? Then let's get started.

I have a lot I would love to teach about digital skills and making money with your Smartphone.

But our major focus in this class is BUILDING A BUYING AUDIENCE (BBA) on WhatsApp.

The problem with selling a product online is that you have an unlimited number of audience you can connect with and sell your products to.


Yeah that's obviously not a problem just pulling your legs


No matter how saturated you may think a business or skill is, there are still millions of people out there who would choose you and buy from you.

A couple of years ago, Mark Zuckerberg bought WhatsApp

Why??
WhatsApp is the only widely used app we’ve ever seen that has more engagement and a higher percentage of people using it daily than Facebook itself


WhatsApp’s engagement rate, or the ratio of daily active users to monthly active users, is an impressive 70%,

Whereas
Facebook’s engagement rate is around 61%

Now this class is tagged
Building a Buying Audience (BBA)

Ask me why?

This is because, not all audience are buying audience.You can build a list of audience that are not buying.
That would just be building audience number without value

Now this class is tagged
Building a Buying Audience (BBA)


Ask me why?
This is because, not all audience are buying audience.
You can build a list of audience that are not buying.

That would just be building audience number without value

A buying Audience in "Lay-man terms", is an audience who buys from you.

-A buying audience is one who engages regularly with your status views and make relevant conversation and comments on post.
-A buying Audience is one who likes and shares your content.
-Finally Buying Audience are strangers not your family and close friends.


I see a lot of Entrepreneurs, business owners, Digital marketers, make the mistake of:
-Having beautiful Products,

-Creating & writing amazing Contents,

-Providing the cheapest and most affordable service,

-Paying the best Graphics Designer to brand your business

But not focusing on building an audience

_No one will buy_

Mind you, your Mum, dad, siblings and unserious set of friends who don't understand what you do are not your buying audience.



Building a buying Audience means building an audience of strangers who are ready to pay you without asking for family discount.
I don't know you, you don't know me but I can make you trust me and I'll sell to you.

That is audience building.

And the best time to start building an audience is the minute you decide to
Become an entrepreneur, learn a skill, start a brand, with the aim of exchanging value for money etc


The sooner you start building your audience, the better, the more time you have.

One way to build a NON BUYING AUDIENCE is

Through contact gain


This has become a popular yet unimpressive method of building whatsApp audience.


That's why you check your contact list to see over 5000 contacts

And you begin wonder why you have less than 50 persons viewing your status without any engagement.

And you Begin to question yourself:

what's wrong?

Where did I make mistake.?


The mistake you made was not wanting to go through the process of audience build by joining GAIN TRAIN

They don't know you, you don't know them

They don't like you, you don't like them

They are not ready to buy your products neither are you ready to buy from them

What's now the point of having them on your contact list?

They don't want to buy from you neither do they want to view your status.

Funnny enough they can easily identify your number and mute you because it's probably saved as


"Micheal gain" or Precious 10"

They don't value you neither do you value them or what they do.


Then you haven't built a buying audience, just numbers.

As an Entrepreneur the main purpose of having anybody on your contact is to sell to them.
If you can't sell to them or add value to them then delete their contact.

It's also a less effective in building a buying Audience on WhatsApp.

A lot of persons ignore those kind of messages and find it offensive.

It also reduce your perceived value as a brand owner/ service provider.


Another popular Non Buying Audience Building Strategy is

DM MARKETING
That is, messaging someone you share a group in common,

Telling him your name what you do and asking for your number to be saved while.

This method is extremely time consuming since you have to spam over 200+ persons while hoping to get a reply.

In fact, I have personally ignored some persons for reaching out to me that way.


It would sound like you're begging people.


You'll be at their mercy and you can't sell to them due to the perception you've given off about your brand by spamming unknown people with unwanted message.

It's also a less effective in build a buying Audience on WhatsApp.
A lot of persons ignore those kind of messages and find it offensive.

It also reduces your perceived value as a brand owner/ service provider.

Your profitability on the online space is largely dependent on your visibility


Any thing you want to do or sell on this online space you need that audience.


New Opportunities open up everyday for you to jump on.


But when you think of it, most of those Opportunities require you to have a good number of audience.
Now, if sending message or joining gain train is not an effective strategy in building a buying Audience on WhatsApp,


What strategy is then effective�‍♂️
Let's take affiliate marketing for example.
*Do you know what affiliate marketing is?*

Well I'm not going to dive into details of affiliate marketing, but just briefly;

Affiliate Marketing is simply the practice of promoting the products or services of another person without having to create your's in exchange for a commission on the resulting sale.

Assuming after your negotiation, you reach an agreement of 20% commission on every human hair sold.

While still promoting the product at 82,000+ as a retailer.

So that’s over N16,000 on every sale made

Selling 5 of that is N80,000
Now understand that

♦️You don’t have a product

♦️You don’t have a shop

What you are doing is to bring a customer and get them to buy

So you can focus on building an audience around that product.

People who have a large buying Audience print cash on demand.
That's why you see digital marketers create offers and they get over 100 response on that offer.

But you can create similar offer with your family and friends, no one will buy.

NO ONE

Let's use this analogy
Someone is selling let's say human hair for N80,000 (big time seller)

And she needs more buyers for these products.

You don't have a product but you have an audience to market her product to.

You can simply enter an agreement with the brand owner to promote her Product with your business name.

To make N100,000 in a week is easy.

Create and offer or sell a product of N1000 to 100 persons

Create an offer or sell a product of N2000 to 50 persons.

Create an offer or sell a product of N5000 to 20 persons.


_All boils down to you having the audience to sell to._
Building your audience make it easy for you to make money on this online space.

You hear people say they made 6-7 figures selling on WhatsApp only.

That can only be done with good number of buying audience.
Aren't you tired of creating amazing content, having quality products without getting it across to the right audience.


More people need to see the things you do.

Stop limiting yourself to 100 viewers when there are millions of people out there who need to buy and learn from you.

Aren't you tired of coming online everyday without any engagement.


You post the finest shoes, bags, clothes ,Human hair , Lion hair, bone straight on your status.


And no one to even say send your account number in a whole month.


You only hear nice, cute, how much, okay thanks.�‍♂️


If you don't build the right audience no matter what you post, you won't get any response and it frustrating.

That's why most people give up after a few weeks of online marketing.


You have a good product you have to build an audience for that Product.


Yeah running ads is good but how many people even buy from the ads you run.


You can't keep throwing money away Everytime you want to sell shoe of 10k.


You run ads of 3k, shipping 2k, delivery 1k, t the end of the day you run at a loss

If you stayed till now then I want to say congratulations to you...

Because it shows your determination to build greater visibility on this online space.

This is the secret of how I and inner circle of Entrepreneurs earn a minimum of 6 figures every month selling online.

NIGERIA currency (naira) has an extremely low value, so making huge sum of money in this country is a game of numbers.
I will show you how we built a list of buying Audience who were once strangers like you

I want to personally mentor and guide you.

I'm going to be saving you YEARS of struggle, setbacks, failure that would most likely make you give up.

Shorten your learning curve and teach you what works.

What would have taken you years to build, you will be getting it within a short time.

The idea of struggling yourself is of the 19th century. It's time to stop living on the past.
_Work Smarter Not Harder_

The training is going to be so intensive and it's 100% premium Practical value

I could tell you that this course is worth over N100,000 but that would even be under value.


Because you are paying for premium knowledge that would have taken you years to gather.


Because this course is all you need to make disturbing money online


But I made a new-year resolution in the beginning of this year, and I also have goal as a brand.


To help as many Entrepreneurs as possible


To turn them into money magnets and making them financially free

We don come back

Officialgarri:
All those people that abandoned Nairaland and fled to twitter will come back and meet us here.

Anything that will bring sanity to this country is welcome.

2 days ago, I spoke a little about my health condition on twitter.

For those who don't know what Cervical Spondylosis is, here is a little more explanation and how it has affected me ��

Cervical spondylosis is a fancy medical term for osteoarthritis in the neck area of the spine.

It can be described as wear and tear of the discs that cushions the spinal vertebrae and is mostly caused by bad posture (I'll talk about how this came about later)

This type of arthritis is usually age-related and is mostly present in people over age of 40.

Unfortunately for me, I was diagnosed at the age of 23.

As a personal trainer and an athlete, it took a toll on my career.

I had chronic pain for 1 year straight and mild pain for another year.

The prescribed pain killers didn't work for me so I had to find relief some other way.

My Pain Regions

Neck pain: This stopped as soon as I quit my job at the gym, quit lifting weights, playing basketball and flag football.

Joint pain: At first i didn't want to stop playing sport so I would wear a knee brace, ankle brace, wrist brace just to reduce the impact.

It didn't help so I had to stop playing sport completely.

The pain got so severe that I needed a knee brace just to walk.

I felt like an old woman

It made me depressed for a very long time

Food became my escape for a while, i ate a lot and added some inches around my waist

Pinched nerve: This was the most severe pain I experienced, the pain was so sharp around my left scapula that I sometimes felt like hitting an hammer on that spot.

I sometimes pressed my back on a lacrosse ball to ease the pain temporarily (this is kinda psychological)

I did Physiotherapy for a while, no change

I stopped playing sport, no change

I stretched, no change

I tried yoga for a while but I was too bored so i stopped.

I'm used to doing exercises that gets heart racing and yoga didn't give me that satisfaction

It's been 3 years now and I'm still managing the pain.

The pain comes and goes now

If I lift anything heavy, it triggers it

If I'm stressed, it triggers it

If I show my clients how to do certain exercises, it triggers it (i don't have a choice on this cos I gotta pay my bills)

I've had to navigate from being fully hands on, working out alongside my clients to simply showing examples and focusing on the management aspect of my career.

Before i stopped lifting weights 3 years ago, I had hit a personal record of:

100kg Squat
110kg Deadlift

despite weighing between 58kg - 60kg.

I really love playing basketball

I miss playing flagfootball (i had played this for about 2 months before the pain started)

I also love lifting weights

but i can't do any of that for now

I have to choose between being able to walk or being paralysed

oh Bleep �

Maybe one day, I'd find a great orthopedic surgeon and I'll be able to do the things I love again but till then �

Pain can be a depressor

It can also be a motivator

It got me all bleeped up for a long time

It has also pushed me, opened my eyes to see opportunities in places that i wasn't looking at before.

Life is crazy for real

One minute, you've got your life all planned

The next minute you are so fucking confused

Midlife crisis here and there

Trust me there's a rock bottom worse than rock bottom

But at the end of the day, you will be fine

You just gotta try to stay positive and hold on just a little bit longer.

E no balance at all.

It's quite unfortunate.

SmartPolician:
When these powerful countries impose their sanctions on Nigeria now, ordinary Nigerians, not the government, will feel the impact the most. This life no balance.
