guide cover

Posting is not the same as marketing. Lots of businesses post every day and still don’t sell. Friends like the post and nobody orders. A boost brings plenty of views and not one DM. People ask “how much?” and then disappear. Marketing is posting with a plan: the right people, the right message, and a clear next step every time.

This free guide gives you that plan, one day at a time.

What’s inside:

  • How to know exactly who you serve, and say what you do in one line
  • A checklist for an Instagram profile that sells, and a proper WhatsApp Business setup
  • Content pillars, so you never wonder what to post again
  • Which format to use: reels, carousels, stories, lives or WhatsApp status
  • Hooks people stop for, and a caption formula that gets DMs
  • Calls to action that work, including keywords like “Send CAKE”
  • How to collect reviews and use social proof
  • Free ways to grow: collabs, comments, referrals and communities
  • How to work with creators, and how to boost posts on a small budget
  • DM scripts that turn “how much?” into a paid order
  • Broadcasts people want to read, and the numbers to track every week
  • A day-by-day 30-day plan and a printable worksheet

It’s 32 pages, free, and the 30-day plan inside is one you can start today.

The guide is for anyone in Nigeria selling a product or service from their phone: bakers, stylists, tailors, photographers, caterers, coaches and small shops. All you need is Instagram, the free WhatsApp Business app and about an hour a day. You don’t need Next Mile to use it. The last section shows how Next Mile can help once the DMs start coming in.
