Topic: Market yourself and become visible (Read 220 times)

Everyone comes here with a vision and most of the plans needed to reach such level comes with disciplinary principles and consistency. Crypto is not easy as it seems, it becomes very important to acknowledge the presence of top traders and investors that are buoyant to take bold steps. Skills and intellectual capacity is needed for one to developed and become successful in the system. I know how difficult life have been for those without good paying jobs and they will succumb to depression.

Thank You very much for this post, I need to start showcasing my Art skills to the world I have numerous brilliant idead, I've been introverted and hides my skills alot, now I paint out and frontier... Make the Future hold a lot for me I Pray... I wish You all well too.

It is very necessary or will I say important to make oneself visible in other to reach out to people that need your help or service but one of the major problem is confident and trust most people have a great skills, understanding on something etc but they don't trust themselves and they don't have confident in themselves that is why sometimes they are afraid to make themselves visible ( to start the process) though it required a high level of tolerance. One thing about life is that, the more you teach someone or people a particular thing the more you understand it and the more you  grow.

Na just thing, anything talent or skill wey we get make we make use of am well, where e go benefit us and the society, make we no dey wait for government work, we we fit even create employment for people wey dey find work but we no go do am, instead we dey interested to work for office work, office work no sweet for me, because you work for hours, and dem go even pay u small small money and e no go fit get time for urself or get time to spend with ur loved ones, instead to be creative, if na handwork wey we get, make we open shop, get apprentice wey we go teach work or we fit get person wey go dey under us, we go dey pay, by that time, we don create job opportunities for them and we go dey make our cool money, and we no go fit lack and we no go even wait for month end before we get pay because we they see our money steady and we no go fit go bankrupt. Many benefits dey wen we market ourselves and be useful to ourselves and people around us too.

Just like this saying that our people normally say that you can not light a candle and hide it under a table, so it is with our skill life. Ones you don get the necessary skill na to go find wey make you show up where necessary. If you which to make am you no supposed hide your skill.

Nowadays, people get game from social medias and I have seen that tiktok app has been a place for product promotions, so if one has something that you think people will like to patronize you have to show them and surely within a certain time they will locate you.

Just as you said here in the forum, me I get skill wey I want advertise here oo but the truth come be say the opportunity never come out make I do am as planned. I be graphics designer, I get alot of customers but my academics schedule dey make not dey deliver on time and I noticed that it's bring my trust down, so some times we need the necessary things to show ourselves because you no go do adverts when you no fit deliver. But generally I agree with the fact say showing ones skill is very necessary for progress.

OP you tried for this topic wey you create because wetin dey worry most people for this part of the world na proud, like high self esteem. How can someone have a good skill and just sits and wait for people to reach out to them without providing means by which people can know about his skills and possibly sort for their service. People go just get good skills but them no go show up, some people when they ask for their service they will start charging high amount of money and until it goes there way, they will not give it out to people.

This modernized world wey we dey so no be wetin pesin go hide wetin him Sabi o because hungry fit dey finish you even when you get something to offer to the public so make we learn how to make ourselves open to people, relate things you know to other people so that when you do work for one person, the person fit refer person to you and from there na so you go dey grow small small.

Market your self and become visible: in this aspect now for one to be very useful in life you have to be creative in thinking,starting something good in life is one of the major challenges many face in this our generation,but if really you want to be visible you need to bring your self forward,and how can you achieve that ,

1 DETERMINATION: determination is when u have decide that no matter what you are ready to face anything but must arrive to your destination.

2 PERSEVERANCE: you have to be courageous despite anything you will really get to where you want to get to

3 DISTANCE: distance your self from family and friends,in doing this you can never be distracted in anyway because you know where you are heading to

With this few kites you will be indeed visible if you bring your self out and determine focus one can be useful and before you know it your name become viral.

isn't that foolishness? How do you become greedy to yourself and refused opening up about what You're good at so people can possibly recommend you for a possible opportunity? When you are skilled at a thing, it doesn't just end thier, you've got to make it a necessity that you gain the visibility that is required if not your value becomes worthless. And the truth is that you're obviously not the only person that's gifted or skilled in such area so if you refused to market yourself, others will do so and the service you're supposed to be rendering will be given to another that's probably less experience to you .

if you're still concerned about what people think about what you're doing, then you're not ready for any positive change at all. If you hide your talent, people will still talk and if you go all out to make yourself visible, some will still talk while others will either patronize or recommend you. Which do you prefer? Even big companies and institutions that have become house hold names and have gained popularity in the nation don't just hide their brand in pretense that they are already visible but make all the needed effort to do adverts on a regular to gain more audience and you're talking about what people will think about you? Even bad brands that have chunk of haters that don't like thier product still pay for promotion and advert just to gain more visibility and in the long run it goes to bring more customers to them and you too think you should be concerned about people's opinions? My granny gave me one of the best advice I ever received and that's that, if I allow shame or pride come in between me and my hustle, then I should be certain that poverty is at my door knocking and I don't ever take that advice for granted.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, an object will continue to be a rest unless acted upon by an external force. Sometimes, you fit get the required skill set but dey for the wrong environment and you go dey think say na your village people dey do you. But when you make a move, find your target audience and begin to market yourself, e go begin jellof for you. Sometimes, you fit no immediately begin to get results but you need to dey patient, stay true to your goal and continue until people begin to notice you.

Op I won't lie on this very topic many dreams, skills, talent, wisdom and intelligent has wasted most in Africa because this the area I know much about the reason is not far from your post.

One major problem that has leads to this is as a result of greed, greed is not only has to deal with money issue but having the feeling let only be be the one that is regarded as experts on this very field or Discovery has made some person not marketing themselves on what they know as doing so can be a revail of the knowledge to second party.

Strange or fetish believe, some has this believe that showcasing what the has people will begin to question where such knowledge is obtained or give tag to something different from their source of know as Africa believe most in questioning rather than utilizing opportunity.

Growth comes through advertising yourself many are ignorant of this they think that as long they in one profession the opportunity will come at the appreciate time where as some opportunity may not this where believe comes in and it distroy Carrier. Anything one do without marketing itself one may stay valueless with no progress been showcasing one idea popularized you.

OP you do well for this topic wey you bring so because the thing wey dey worry most people for this life na ignorance (lack of knowledge). You go see person go go school finish come graduate with better results but instead of making his profession open so that people can hire him for service, they will just relax as if job will look for them rather than them looking for jobs. Sometimes I use to think is ego and feeling too proud about oneself but the real truth is that it is foolishness that will make someone to become too fulll of himself simply because he feels no one has attained his level of knowledge hence they will always look for him for solutions.

Inasmuch as life is concerned, everything has replacement because one day you will be shocked to discover that someone else also knew what you know then you will become humble and calm. It saddens me how we have high level of intellectual men and women but most of them hoard their knowledge as if someone wants to hijack the knowledge they've got. Some people are very afraid of letting others know what they know because they are afraid of teaching those people and they possibly become better than them tomorrow. Every one has a root, no body is an island of knowledge as we all learn day after day so you may not know what I know and you may need my service tomorrow likewise me as well.

In conclusion, just like the heading of the OP it is good to sell oneself to the public like tell people about what you do, the skills you have acquired, and the qualifications that you have because you may be lucky to meet someone that will aid you actualize your skills and from there your level begins to upgrade.

Note: do not hoard your knowledge, let it out to others so that in case if you ain't there tomorrow, someone will Carry on your legacy. If you watch the westerners you will agree with me that they transfer knowledge to other people that is why the keep recording growth within the country because if the founder of any invention is not there, another will take it up from where he stops and moves on with it and at the end of the day they will succeed.

It's actually interesting reading this thread but I get lost to repost to it by every single bits of how I relates with it so I'd choose to read and quote it by lines so I can do well bring my best of contributions to it.



You're right to insight that there's usually a reward for one with a quicker move to bring possessed potentials to lives. Let me also share this usually saying that "if your knowledge remains in you and can't express it out to the people or can't contribute to the society in one way or the other then it's apparently a significant of hallucinations since it can't be authenticatedly proven.
In life at most, we actually needed someone to take the first lead and by then others can also exploit even better than he he took the first step.
You can agree with me or not that beginners would always have to undergo difficulties to reach a specific height and then those imitating lives to enjoy the flexible paths.


I don't know about this B Lord but I can tell you that such Infrastructures of him reaching such great height is not such so easy as you may think that he becomes billionaire in no time.
If you ask him how storylines you'd definitely say he worth the rewards.
He didn't just commonly put those affairs in place but undergone structural amenities which he may have adjusted to be logically a principle entrepreneur.
He operates by operating in a unique terms and also living to update his carrier to while others where so contented with their present being. The techniques to elevation amongst others is just about packaging of employing more visible awareness that may be associated with the people's needs.
This is exactly how the MemeCoins gains their values through which they hypes their coins socially to attract before influencing investors. So you just need to find any means to drag audience attentions towards your endivoirs and then, you becomes a trend in the society.


I can agree to this but regular recommendation is not basically because you're visible but because you've built an integrified reputable with your services.
Although making your self visible can enhance how people would get to know you. I can also say it that someone who knows little knowledge on a particular field that makes himself visible to the reach out to people travels a long mile than someone who's more skillful and knowledgeable but stays invisible.
Infact, being invisible with the nature of your skills, marketing or engagement demanding publics awareness for patronages is considered a waste of resources because at a time, you're to go to the people and when you've gained that dominance popularity people can then come to you which means your legacies lives and making you visible even without the people meeting with you one on one.


Absolutely the internet has made it possible for entrepreneurs, investors and the skillbases to advertise and showcases themselves to the sights of the audiences so literarily anyone in need of them can easily reach out to them online without stressing on search of one.
How you package your profile also matters because your profile in and out there tells briefs about you.

Normally no gives a damn about what you can do if you don't show them you can do it and this is one reason why from the days we were in secondary school the ones that where mostly outspoken becomes perfect even though they aren't all that serious in class while the brilliant ones that knows all the correct answers but never bothered to answer questions in class end up being looked down on and might even remain in their ignorant state.

One additional advantage I have come to see about making yourself visible is that the more you allow people know that you're good at a thing, the more it will motivate you to put in more effort so you don't tarnish your image and end up being looked at as someone that's e just loud with not evident to show for. On our undergraduate days we once had this dude that's very brilliant and smart and he doesn't hide his brilliance but comes out whenever thier is a tough knot to crack in tye class. What that does to him is that everyone started depending on him and that made him become more serious and it didn't take long before the whole lecture discovered he was brilliant and when thier is any academic function that involved the department, he becomes the easiest person to think of for recommendation.

Even the holy book has made it clear that no one lights a candle and puts it under a blanket.  Getting skills is good but working to make yourself more visible is an added advantage to you skills.

This aspect you just mentioned now is one thing that people find difficult to come into terms with. People feel like because they are trustworthy to themselves, then every other person around the world should trust them even at a glance. But they fail to realize that it's not everybody that understands who you really are.

People have been taught lessons on why they should not easily trust somebody. Because of that kind of experience that people have, they tend to find it difficult to trust someone, especially at a glance.

So what you are advised to do at every time is to make sure you build a trust within yourself so that people can always trust your process.

To market oneself isn't really much issues, what the issue remains is if one is willing to be put under public microscope and criticism for doing a bad job or rendering a below par service while claiming to have the necessary skills.
There's a way a bad marketing campaign can destroy ones reputation in that it becomes hard to delve into another career or skill because no one would either patronize you or it's just too much work to start over from scratch.

True knowledge, talent and authenticity never truly hides itself in any environment. The goal should always be to do personal research, do the best to worth every minute spent learning your skill and try to be available on social media and phone calls, as well as build a name that is synonymous with the identity you have crafted for yourself. This is how one becomes clearly visible.

You have spoken the truth but we need to develop certain skill set if we want to prosper in that particular domain, only then we can market ourself as without skill if we market ourself we will lose business once and for all because any business runs on recurring relationship and transaction hence in order to have that we need skill and it doesn't has to be particularly about the crypto it can be anything and as simple as cooking.

It is vital to remember that promoting oneself is a long-term process that does not produce immediate results. It takes time to create connections and trust with your target audience. So, be patient and work on developing quality material and relationships over time. It may not be easy, but it will be worthwhile in the end. So, before you begin marketing yourself online, spend some time getting to know your intended audience. This does not mean appealing to everyone, rather than finding the people who are most likely to be interested in what you have to offer. You should also ensure that you are not exaggerating or establishing untrue assertions about your abilities or qualifications.

If dem de take something cover light darkness go take over, so any gift or skills wey person get, until im begin to de showcase an e go still remain for darkness, meaning say na only for drawing board or planing levels e go remain, diafor everybody suppose find platform wey de related to wetin dem get to offer and showcase dem talent or professions there. God give everybody special talents and e de left to us to harness am and make am to de beneficial to us and di society at large, if anybody no let im light to shine by hiding dem talent, dem na poverty go embrace di person. No food for lazy man, anyhow wey di economy be, some people still de make am, so why we no go use our talents or skills and follow make am too.

You know this saying that, "everybody de thief but na who dem catch be the real thief" shouldn't only be used in the negative sense like what it normally connotes but in the real positive sense, everyone has brilliant ideas and skills but na who first showcase am de normally take the glory.

Sometimes I look at B lord and how he goes about showcasing his crypto and trading platforms on a regular basis and because of the visibility he has gotten, so many newbies and those interested in joining the crypto world would normally go after him, and from there he builds up a strong company of individuals that will depend on him for any crypto related transaction they want to do and he just easily multiply his income and becomes a billionaire in no time while their might be others with similar ideas that aren't making any effort to gain visibility.

Sometimes people can recommend you without your knowledge and what's normally the case is that they will either check your profile on LinkedIn or check you out on some social media platform to get some basic details about you which should have built some level of trust before seeing you in person. It's when you're looking for someone who will teach you a particular thing and then go online to search for it that you will know the importance of marketing yourself on all your social media handles because most of the recommendations you will get are people that have showcased their skill set on their handles and not those that are just skilled and limit it to self.

If you know how many automobile jobs come to Palmtech Group because of their method of gaining visibility on social media, you wouldn't want to keep your skills to yourself. Good enough, we have the marketplace on the forum that allows you to sell your skill out and the individual who needs it could easily patronize you. If you're skilled at a particular thing, market yourself as much as possible and it's going to be a sure way to multiply the benefits you get from your skill set.
