A lot of people in my DMs keep asking how I went from 0 to almost 60K followers in one year, and from $0 to over $15K at the same time. I’ll tell you exactly what I did. After I left uni, I didn’t celebrate anything. No convocation, no induction. I already knew the reality second class will get judged. Life was about to get real, and the journey ahead was long and hard. So I went back home and made a decision to lock in. My parents didn’t fully get it. There were complaints. But I stood my ground. I knew this was one of those moments where it’s either you take your life seriously or you keep drifting. Even when it was time for NYSC, I didn’t go. For me, I was too broke to travel for it. it was simple. It’s either I make this work or I make this work. There was no backup plan. I stayed with my parents because I needed shelter. And no, we weren’t comfortable. My parents hawked on the streets of Lagos. My mum sold rat poison. Things were not easy. So I knew I had to figure something out. I started with one question: what skill can I learn that will pay me and stay relevant long term? I saw a lot of people going into web design, graphic design, and development. But I also saw how crowded it was and how long it could take to break through. So I went another route. I chose the business side of tech, sales and marketing. A lot of people don’t understand this, but marketing is tech. You need to understand products, systems, tools, data, user behavior, and how to build flows that convert. It’s not just posting content. Once I decided, I went all in. In about a month, I completed multiple certifications. I wasn’t playing. I needed to enter the market fast. Then came the hard part, getting in with no experience and no connections. So I created my own leverage. I started networking heavily. Talking to people. Building real conversations. I used my communication skills and diction to stand out. People liked me, not because I was the best, but because I was intentional and clear. I even went on LinkedIn and removed people I knew from school. I didn’t want noise, judgment, or distractions. I needed full focus. Eventually, I got my first opportunity through someone I barely knew. Not a close friend. Just a weak connection. No experience. No strong backing. Just preparation meeting opportunity. From there, I started working and earning. I moved into making seven figures in naira, and I kept improving. Then I came on X. At that time, I hadn’t even made up to $1,000 yet. I think I was around $400 to $500. But I started documenting everything. No fake lifestyle. No pretending. Just sharing what I was learning, what was working, and what wasn’t. That changed everything. I hosted over 70 to 80 Twitter Spaces in one year. In total, over 100,000 people tuned in across those sessions. People didn’t just watch. They got results. Some made their first million naira. Some switched careers. Some entered marketing because of what I shared. I gave a lot back. Even when I didn’t have much, I was buying upwork connects for people, helping them get started. At the same time, it wasn’t smooth. I got dragged. Lmao by the tech OG's 2024 and 2025 were intense for me. But I kept showing up. I shared my opinions. I quoted tweets. I told stories. I stayed consistent. That’s how I grew from 0 to almost 60K followers with no influencer recommendation. Today, I’ve built strong networks, gotten crazy opportunities, and I even get paid to speak. You don’t need the perfect background. You don’t need connections. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to pick a path, lock in, and stay consistent long enough for things to start working. You can do a lot from a small place if you take yourself seriously.

Good diction and knowing how to hold a conversation will create more opportunities for you than your looks. That's the best gift a broke man can have.

Last week, I declined an invite from a client that’s spent over $4.1M on Upwork. At first, it looked like a dream client. If you’re a freelancer, you know the feeling of wanting to work with a client with high spending history and average per contract. Even his overall rating was very solid. So at first glance, he’s an excellent client. As expected, my first reaction was naturally excitement. Lots of it. However, I looked beyond that and started scanning for red flags. I always do this with potential clients and teach my students to do the same. You can check my pinned tweet for more details on that. While scanning, I noticed two major red flags. First, the client’s most recent review history had more than five different freelancers complaining about the same things: They’re difficult to collaborate with, and the account is managed by multiple people, which makes follow-ups a mess. Second, the job description itself was asking for a lot. And I mean a LOT. It was doable for me, but this goes beyond that. I treat every client project like I’m a cofounder and go all in. So before I take something on, the fit has to be right. This became even more important with how much the project was asking for. Now when you put those two things together, the picture becomes pretty clear. The client expects deep commitment, but frustrating collaboration seemed almost guaranteed. And if you think about it, that’s a very draining combination especially for a longterm contract. So I asked myself, am I ready to commit to a role that’ll drain so much from me? If it was a fun project, maybe I’d think differently. Yk, work that excites you doesn’t feel like a drain. But this didn’t feel like that. I was now torn between sticking to my guts or going in for the money. Well, I ultimately decided to decline the project and wait for one that suits my vibe better. I don’t want to be that guy that comes later to say “I saw the red flags o, but I ignored them. Now see me” lol. On a broader level, this experience is also one of my favorite things about freelancing. You can choose who you want to work with at any given time, no matter how big they are. You get to choose. And not every job deserves your yes.
