Step-by-step guide to creating engaging content (for Nigerian social platforms — WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok)
Step 1 — Know who you’re talking to (Audience map)
-
Do: Pick 2 audience personas (e.g., Lagos small shop owner age 25–40; Abuja young professional buying convenience).
-
Why: Different groups respond to different language and offers — a Lagos market seller wants quick order links; a young professional wants convenience + trust.
-
Fast check: Ask 10 existing customers 3 quick questions: where they live, what motivates purchases, preferred app (WhatsApp/FB/IG/TikTok).
Step 2 — Pick one clear goal per post
-
Goals: Drive message, get contact, sell, build trust.
-
Example: Instagram reel goal = show product in use (build trust). WhatsApp status goal = get direct message (lead capture).
-
Why: One clear goal keeps your call-to-action (CTA) strong — readers should know exactly what to do next.
Step 3 — Use a simple, local voice (tone + language)
-
Use short sentences, local examples, Pidgin or local phrases when appropriate.
-
Real-life example: Instead of “premium Nigerian suya,” write: “Hot suya ready — 3 kebabs for ₦500. DM or WhatsApp +234… to order.”
-
Why: Familiar language reduces friction and increases replies.
Step 4 — Structure every post for attention (3-second rule)
-
Hook (1 line) — stop the scroll.
-
Value (1–2 lines or 15–30s video) — show benefit.
-
Proof (photo, quick testimonial) — show it works.
-
CTA (1 action) — “DM,” “WhatsApp,” “Join group,” or “Tap link.”
-
Why: People decide in 3 seconds — this structure increases clicks and DMs.
Step 5 — Make visuals that sell (phone-only production)
-
Shoot vertical video for Reels/TikTok/WhatsApp Status. Use natural light, clean background.
-
Simple template: 5s hook (close-up), 15s demo, 5s CTA (phone number or link).
-
Why: Vertical video gets more reach and is easy to make with a phone.
Step 6 — Leverage WhatsApp TV & Groups (free distribution)
-
How: Post your promo to WhatsApp Status and to active business groups. Use 7hubent’s free promo channels to amplify reach — contact: +2349077131487; Telegram t.me/hubent1. (7hubent)
-
Real-life analogy: It’s like hawking your goods at a busy market stall — but the market is the WhatsApp screens of hundreds of thousands.
-
Why: WhatsApp groups and WhatsApp TV drive direct orders and fast validation.
Step 7 — Reuse and repurpose (work smarter)
-
Turn one long video into: a 30s reel, a 15s status clip, a captioned image, and 3 story posts.
-
Why: Same content → multiple touchpoints → more trust without extra work.
Step 8 — Post consistent cadence + best times
-
Example cadence: 3 posts/wk on feed, 5–10 statuses weekly, daily story/shorts when launching.
-
Timing tips: Post before commute (7–9am) and evening (6–9pm) for higher engagement in many Nigerian cities. (Adjust by your audience.)
-
Why: Consistency trains your audience to expect you and increases algorithmic reach.
Step 9 — Track simple metrics (what to watch)
-
Must-track: Replies/DMs, orders from a post, clicks on links, view counts on status/reels.
-
Why: Data shows what works — double down on top performing formats.
Step 10 — Iterate with community feedback
-
Ask directly in post: “Like this? Reply YES and I’ll share price.” Use quick polls in Telegram or story stickers on Instagram.
-
Why: Direct feedback cuts guesswork and creates content your followers request.
Extra tips specifically for Nigerian markets
-
Local trust signals: show your number, market stall, receipts, and customer photos.
-
Flexible payment mention: include mobile money options (e.g., bank transfer, USSD) and pick-up/delivery options.
-
Leverage diaspora audiences: post during UK/US evening times when family abroad can send orders or gifts.

You can get replies the same day. Speed depends on offer clarity, price, and quality of visuals. Many sellers report orders within hours for clear, compelling promos. (7hubent)

Yes — but follow platform rules and local consumer/data laws. Avoid spammy mass messaging and always include clear contact and pricing. Note: Nigerian regulators have taken action on privacy issues with big platforms; be transparent with customer data. (Reuters)

-
Short vertical videos (Reels/TikTok/WhatsApp status), clear product photos, and short testimonials. Video often drives higher engagement. (NapoleonCat)

No. Good phone videos, consistent posting, and group sharing (including platforms like 7hubent) can drive big results with little or no ad spend. (7hubent)
5. How do I measure if my content is working?

Track: DM/WhatsApp replies, orders credited to a post, view counts, and repeat buyers. Simple Excel or phone notes are enough. If a post produced orders, replicate its format.
