Questions like; What is a media kit? How do I spread the word about my work? How do I create a media kit? Do I send out my Media kit in word format? (This last question is a big NOOOO!)

After the episode on Brand collaborations where I mentioned the importance of a media kit,  I received a lot of messages asking me about how to create one, and why?.

And that is what this episode is about, showing you how to create a media kit, not just any type, but an impressive media kit to help you earn more money as a creative, while also boosting your audience numbers.

If you don’t know what a media kit is, think of it as your business card but loaded with useful data about your brand. So if you want to get more sponsored brand deals on Instagram or any other social media, or your blog, or podcast, then you need one.

I want to walk you through 10 easy steps to help you create a media kit that will help you in your creative journey, and help you earn real cash from the business of Influencing and creating.

At the end of this episode, you will know how to create a media kit for yourself, but if you don’t then you know you can always reach out to us at everythingdigitalng@gmail.com we’ll definitely come through...for a healthy token.

You will also learn about free tools to get the statistics from your blog, and other tools that help you build the perfect media kit, one of those is Quantcast

So what is it really and why does it really matter?

Maybe you know what it is, but do you know how to create one that converts visitors to repeat paying customers?

A marketing funnel is a way of breaking down the customer journey all the way from the “awareness” stage (when they first learn about your business) to the “purchase” stage (when they’re ready to buy your product or service).

Typically, there are four sales funnel stages: Awareness, Interest, Decision, and Action.

These four stages represent your prospective customer’s mindset.

In this episode, I talk about these four stages and go ahead to tell you about the amazing factor that can make your Marketing Sales Funnel stand out from the rest and get you high paying repeat customers for your digital products.

Furthermore, I share tools and resources to help you on your digital journey to creating your first powerful Marketing sales funnel.

You have probably heard the term “imposter syndrome” being used a whole lot, however, you may be wondering what it really is, maybe it’s just one of those things that people say and it doesn’t really have any implications or it doesn’t have any place in the real world, but I’m sorry to burst your bubble, imposter syndrome is actually a real thing.

Impostor syndrome refers to an internal experience of believing that you are not as competent as others.

According to a survey, about 70% percent of people have experienced it in their careers. 

So I figured that if it is affecting so many people, then we have to talk about it and understand how to deal with it.

Also, did you know that there are more than 4 types of Imposter syndrome?

I was surprised too when I learnt about them.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the eDigital Africa show, on this episode I want us to talk about How to build your creativity with books.

You know I always take it a step further, so all the books I will mention today can also be found in audiobook format, so you can listen while commuting to and from, or when you’re doing your chores, or taking a walk or working out.

But first, let me give you some interesting facts about listening.

Some interesting facts about listening and Audiobooks

• Spoken words increase reading accuracy by 52% and improve comprehension by 76%.
  
• 85% of what we learn, we learn by listening.
  
• For your brain, listening to an audiobook or reading with your eyes is the same thing.
  
• Between reading and listening, reading came last, we’ve been listening since the beginning of time.
  

That said, I would like to remind you that creativity is not meant for a select few, anybody can develop their creative ability, that’s why I started this podcast, to help you on your creative and digital journey, and there are many other podcasts that can help you build your creativity as well, but today, let us talk about books...

Meanwhile, a WHO report says that mental health disorder will affect 1 in 4 people in any given year, (that’s the World Health organisation).

Mental health disorders are complex and can take many forms including depression, anxiety, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia.

But what interested me in this topic is that two-thirds of people who suffer from this illness never want to see a professional for help.

And it’s mostly because of the stigma and discrimination associated with it, don’t get me started on the policy aspect, I don’t know if we even have a mental health policy in Nigeria.

And I think that’s why many people think that mental health illness is a white people problem. But the irony is that many people are clearly suffering from the same issue that they ignore.

In fact, only Lagos traffic is enough to affect you mentally...I’m sure you know that already.

But it’s not only when you go out that you should be scared for your mental health, during the lockdown, just having to stay in one place was almost traumatic for a lot of people, every day on Social media you could clearly see what it was doing to people.

And as always, I’ve got some help coming your way.

There are a lot of apps to help you take care of your mental health, but I know you like the free stuff, so I sieved through them to get you 6 free mental health apps.

They help you de-stress, they help you meditate, and some of them even help you stay in shape, so without wasting much time, let’s jump right in.
