Special adviser to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has advised Nigerians to leverage social media to make money, News About Nigeria reports.
He made this call in a statement via his verified handle on X on Friday.
He noted that social media is not just for having fun and consuming contents but can be lucrative if maximised.
The self-acclaimed table shaker stated that people’s ability to connect with others can be a tool to collect from them.
He also stated that a person’s warmth and charisma can be monetised, among several other ways to earn with social media.
Omokri added that collaboration is the newest and fastest way to make money these days from social media, noting that people can collaborate with companies.
He wrote, “Use your ability to connect with people as a tool to collect from them. If you have charisma and warmth and people like you, monetise it. Sell to Excel. Find something to promote and use your personality to improve yourself financially.
“Use your social media to earn social capital. More than 25% of people who come online will purchase something daily. Using your charm to get some of that for yourself is no harm. Advertise a product. Collaborate with a commercial motorcyclist. Give your audience your account number. They pay, and the product is on its way without delay.
“Don’t just indulge in endless scrolling all day. Also, engage in endives selling. Use e-commerce like Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, Etsy, etc. to leverage more than the average.”
