About this course
Learn how Nigerian creators actually land and deliver paid brand partnerships — even with a small, engaged following. You'll build a media kit that sells you, price your influence without underselling, pitch brands that get replies, negotiate fairly, deliver and report results, and disclose deals the right way. By the end you'll have a real media kit and a tailored pitch you can send to a brand this week.
You don't need millions of followers to get paid. Brands pay nano and micro creators every day because a small, trusting audience converts — and trust is the real product you're selling.
