Greatwisdom Nwigwe's first LinkedIn post came with a prayer. He was a student at the University of Abuja with no idea what he was doing. He had tried creating a LinkedIn account twice before. Both times it got restricted, and so he gave up on it. In November 2024, a few weeks before his parents' birthday, he decided to try one more time, so he created another account. The account was up, but he did not post anything because he felt he had nothing to say. He was just a student, so who was he to
If you run TikTok Ads to bring people to your Coachli profile, you already know the question that never stops: Are these Ads actually working? You can see how much you spent. You can see how many clicks came through. But then the person lands on your profile, and the trail goes cold. Did they book a session? Did they purchase your course? Did they even get far enough to start checkout? You have no idea. And that gap between your ad spend and what actually happened is the most expensive blind sp
If you run Meta ads to bring people to your Coachli profile, you already know the question that never stops: Are these ads actually working? You can see how much you spent. You can see how many clicks came through. But then the person lands on your profile, and the trail goes cold. Did they book a session? Did they purchase your course? Did they even get far enough to start checkout? You have no idea. And that gap between your ad spend and what actually happened is the most expensive blind spot

Hadiatullah's reason for starting on LinkedIn was not ambition but survival. As a first child and the only daughter in a family of five, she wanted to be financially independent, give her parents a comfortable life, and be the best big sister to her younger brothers. When someone told her in 2021 that LinkedIn could help land her a job, she created an account. However, she did not post anything until 2022 because she felt the people on the app were intimidating. Everyone seemed to have it figur

Most people join challenges when everything is going well. Enitan Bello joined the Coachli LinkedIn Visibility Challenge when she was trying to find her way back. She had stepped away from LinkedIn for about a week to give her three-year-old daughter her full attention. When she returned, her visibility had dropped significantly. The rhythm was broken, the momentum was gone, and she was wondering whether it was even worth trying to rebuild. Then she found out about the Coachli LinkedIn Visibil

If Zoom is your go-to tool for video calls, you can now link it directly to your Coachli account — and once you do, the platform handles everything else. Every time a customer books a 1:1 session or live event with you, Coachli automatically generates a unique Zoom meeting link and delivers it to them the moment their booking is confirmed. No manual setup. No copying and pasting links. No back-and-forth to share meeting details. It just works. Here's everything you need to know to get started.

When Blossom Affia opened her LinkedIn account, she thought it was just a place where people posted their CVs. She did not know there was a business side to it. She was a broke student figuring out life, with 2 followers on LinkedIn. That was late 2023. Today, she is Africa's number one LinkedIn growth expert by Favikon rankings, with over 3 million organic views and a following that spans the continent. She has impacted thousands of professionals through her teaching, her community, and her u

Most LinkedIn success stories start with clarity. It's usually a story of someone who knows what they want to do, posts intentionally and consistently, and then builds from there. Precious Obo's story is different. He did not know what he was building. He was a 200-level engineering student in late 2023 with 47 followers, posting into the void with no strategy, no content calendar, and no idea what he was doing. Today, he is one of the most trusted voices on LinkedIn for African creators, freel

Real Desmond went from posting randomly on LinkedIn to attracting international clients and building 33K+ followers. Here's how she did it—and what she'd tell you to do differently.

There is something exciting about watching a product grow with the people it was built for. Over the past few months, we have been listening closely to creators, coaches, consultants, educators, community builders, and everyday experts using Coachli to sell their knowledge, host sessions, manage payments, and build real digital businesses. And one thing became very clear: African creators do not just need a place to sell. They need a platform that helps them sell smarter, serve better, earn
