Dear Friend,
It’s been a long time away, I am so sorry. As usual, a lot of things are happening but I am grateful to God for his grace.
August came with promises, without entanglements and lockdown ease, pretty exciting. On August 14th, business operations returned to half normal in Lagos, Nigeria.
I bet you some of you have toured your favorite spots, it’s a reservation galore but please remember to wear your face masks and sanitize. Some of us will be able to travel internationally from the 29th, I mean those that have money.
As for me, I’m still chilling indoors, missing cool events, and hangouts but it is what it is. Low-key jealous of some of y’all but am coming with full ghamgham in September.
The last four months have been crazy, a number of businesses and individuals have lost their source of income but there’s good news.

We live in an increasingly diverse marketplace. People are earning money from a variety of endeavors, whether they hang out a shingle online or start a brick-and-mortar business.
Today, I’m going to guide you a little through the process of understanding digital products and figuring out what you might want to sell. Even if you’re already part of the digital economy, you might discover a new revenue stream to add to your burgeoning business. A digital product is any product you sell online that doesn’t have physical form or substance. You can’t hold a website theme in your hand, smell an e-book, or taste a software program.
Remember. If something sounds like common sense, people will ignore it. Make your digital product unique.
There are more than 15 recognized digital products in the world. The virtual world has opened up a new category of products, find out which one you can create.
This newsletter is a digital product, I can decide to monetize it via subscription or advertising for brands. I don’t want to delve too much into this topic, book me to get more clarity on this topic, and to activate your digital product. - This is another example of a digital product.
You can teach a skill or topic via Skillshare or Teachable, talk to people via Calendly or Doodle, create a podcast via Anchor, write an ebook via Canva, and so on.
Besides turning your expertise into digital products, you need to learn how to promote your products online.
If your work or business has been affected by the pandemic, let’s talk.
