Thoughts:
“Nobody trusts a ghost. If they can’t see you, they won’t buy from you.”
“Trust is built in the boring: one story, one post, one status, one reply at a time.”
“No one owes you belief. Show up until they have no choice but to trust you.”
“Your reviews are louder than your captions. Post them like your sales depend on it – because they do.”
Let me ask you a hard question…
Would you transfer ₦38k to someone on Instagram who only posted once in 2 weeks, no face, no voice, no reviews?
Exactly.
So why do you think strangers should buy from you when your page looks like it was created by a ghost?
I know they’re already buying from you.
But those are the 3% who will buy anything. They’re the first movers.
But the remaining 97% won’t.
Look at your revenue and ask yourself what it’ll be when the next 97% start buying from you.
Most people don’t understand this: You’re not really selling a product. You’re selling belief.
And in Nigeria? People don’t believe jack until they see you “showing face” or showing up consistently.
They need to see you. Hear you. Feel like you’re a real person they can trust.
Because trust is the only real currency in this game.
Nobody will risk their hard-earned money on someone that disappears for 6 days and appears only when it’s time to post “DM to order”.
People don’t buy what you sell. They buy how you make them feel.
That’s why someone with the same product as you is getting 90 orders per day…
And you are stuck on 10 orders or “interested ooo… I’ll get back to you.”
It’s not the product. It’s the presence. The attention.
It’s not the caption. It’s the consistency.
It’s not the price. It’s the proof.
You can’t cheat this thing.
How to look legit without begging customers
1. SHOWING UP DAILY IS THE NEW CUSTOMER SERVICE
There’s a reason Coca-Cola still runs ads.
If a multi-billion-dollar brand is fighting for mind space every day…
Who are you to think you can post twice a week and still stay top of mind?
When I started posting daily on WhatsApp, TikTok and Instagram, something wild happened…
People who had been ignoring us started DMing things like “I’ve been watching you for a while now… I’m ready.”
They weren’t ready before.
But the consistency convinced them.
People need to be reminded. Repeatedly.
Consistency creates familiarity. And in Ecommerce, familiarity breeds trust.
Your daily posts are like street signs.
The more people see them, the more they believe the road is real and safe to drive on. But once those signs disappear? Fear returns.
It’s not just about what you post. It’s that you post.
Daily visibility >>> fancy aesthetics. Even rough posts convert if you’re consistent.
But even showing up daily won’t save you… if you don’t have PROOF.
2. YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE YOUR BEST SALES TEAM
Let me confess.
I once sold a product without posting any testimonial for months.
I made a few sales. The product has crazy reviews.
The same product, same caption, same price…
But when I uploaded just 3 screenshots of real customers saying “it worked!”, orders jumped to 19 in 2 days.
Without running ads on a profile with less than 4k followers.
People believe people more than they believe YOU.
When you’re walking past a fast food and you see plenty people eating there…
Your brain says “That food must be sweet.” Same thing happens with reviews. They remove doubt.
Every order must come with a follow-up. Ask for reviews.
Offer gift or discount for feedback. Screenshot everything.
Turn customer chats into marketing.
Don’t wait for the customer to come and say “Thank you.” You have to ask.
You have to systemize it.
No one will market your product for you if you don’t make it easy.
Even if you have proof and show up daily, there’s one small mistake that can quietly kill your trust without you realizing it…
3. INCONSISTENCY MAKES YOU LOOK FRAUDULENT
I know it sounds harsh. But I’ll say it.
When you vanish for days, people start to doubt your business is still alive.
When you reply DMs today and ghost tomorrow… You just look shady.
Even if you’re tired, broke, or burnt out… The customer doesn’t care.
Trust is not built with noise. It’s built with rhythm.
Trust is like brushing your teeth. If you skip it for 3 days… you’ll stink.
Same with visibility and response time. Skipping days makes your brand smell dodgy.
Create a content bank every Sunday.
Schedule posts. Batch replies.
Train someone to manage your page if needed. Don’t go missing.
Don’t try to be perfect. Just be consistent.
Even a small story post daily keeps you visible. And visible is believable.
Now here’s the truth…
Everything I just shared sounds simple. But implementing it daily? That’s where most people fall off.
They don’t have the time, the templates, the system, or the discipline.
That’s why I built a program that handles it all…
