The first half of 2026 is over and I want to hold myself accountable publicly. Here is everything I achieved in the last 6 months as a 22 year old building a remote career from Nigeria 🧵

@AdesinaAbdurah1 Build in public, show your process

The reason your project is fundraising at a lower valuation than last year isn't because the market is down. It's because investors looked at your adoption metrics and saw zero. They don't care about your vision. They care about velocity. You've been building for 18 months. Where are the developers? Where's the usage? If the answer is "we're focused on protocol," investors run. Because protocol without adoption is infrastructure nobody needs. The projects getting funded in 2026 aren't the ones with the coolest tech. They're the ones with the clearest path to developer adoption and revenue. If you haven't solved adoption, you haven't solved anything. Stop building in stealth. Start shipping in public. Start showing real metrics. Investors will follow real adoption, not promises. Do you have adoption metrics that would make an investor say "I get why developers want this"?

@MissGijae 😭lucky you

@lightmartinss Ikr, thankfully my area has quite decent light supply. Almost every night they remember us 😅

I’ve been using my hair dryer to dry my clothes It’s a lifesaver fr Spread them outside and let the most of the water drip off when it’s not raining then wring them in a big towel and use the hair dryer to finish up the work Easy peasy

@paula_bearr You always have something going mehnnnn always something new with you😩🔥

So I've been trying to figure out how to manage all the workflows I have going on. Then it hit me. Instead of doing everything myself... Why not build AI agents to handle specific parts of the work while I act as the content manager? I just tested my first workflow today. And... Wandaful. 😂 Now I'm off to build the rest.

@Tech_babby Hi Light Martins here

Since we can now see each other please reintroduce yourself to your mutuals. They probably forgotten you. 😂 Hi Tech baby here. You?🫢

@TechnicalBben Yeahhhh, this is so important learning how to communicate properly as a remote worker cannot be over emphasized😭

You'll think you're great at communicating until you start working remotely with people from different backgrounds, countries and you realize you can't confidently explain the projects you've worked on. 😭 "I ain't gonna" Will cost you your job. Learn how to communicate clearly and make sure people understand what you're trying to say.

Welcome to Day 2 of my VA series (virtual assistant) Today I talk about two services you can offer as VA If you are not clear on anything ask me your questions….

@paula_bearr I think you should just pick what you are good at

Asked Chat to help me narrow down my career, it’s not helpinggggg😭😭😭😭

@paula_bearr 🫂🫂

Stop scrolling for just a few seconds. It's Q3 now. And I know this year probably hasn't gone the way you imagined. Maybe it's been money issues. School. Work. Family drama. Relationship drama. Maybe you've been carrying so much that you've forgotten to stop and acknowledge yourself. But you're still here. The days you thought you'd give up or the days you actually gave up... You're still here…overwhelmed, stressed, tired but you're still surviving, fighting. And I just want to tell you that I'm so proud of you. I pray your journey gets easier. I pray your hard work pays off. I pray the things you've cried about become the things you thank God for. I'm sending you the biggest virtual hug in the entire fucking world. (I needed to hear this myself as well🫂)

Proud mom moment lmao🤝🏾

A few months ago I made a big mistake when I launched my first digital product. I launched it before I started marketing it. I was watching a video recently and it hit me that was exactly why I didn't make as many sales as I expected. I launched to a cold audience. People who had no idea the product was coming, no idea what it was about and no reason to buy it immediately. Here is what I should have done: Market the product before launching it. When you talk about your product before it is out you are filtering your audience. The people who need it will pay attention. The people who don't will scroll past. By the time you launch you are not announcing to strangers you are launching to people who have been waiting for it. The difference between launching to a cold audience and a warm audience is the difference between crickets and sales. If you are building a digital product right now, talk about it before it is ready. Document the process. Tease it. Let people ask questions about it. Build the anticipation. Don't make the same mistake I made. If you are ready to start your VA journey my beginner guide is available now 👇 🔗 lnkd.in/dMG8wQAC

@DevinRN88 Yeahhhhhh But some people are smart in both though

From what I have experienced in life, most book lovers are proficient in English but struggle with math. Is this true for you?
