Whether you are an experienced digital marketer, freelancer, content creator, graduate, student, social media marketer or someone developing your online marketing skills, you may apply.

Previous experience marketing digital products is not mandatory.

What matters is your ability to research, think commercially, identify an audience, develop a practical marketing strategy and execute it.

For this opportunity, the focus is primarily on practical knowledge products that help people learn something, solve a problem, develop a skill or achieve a specific result.

How-to guides
Practical PDF guides
Tutorials
Micro-courses
Educational resources
Business guides
Career resources

Toolkits
AI and productivity resources

Other practical digital knowledge products

As a Digital Products Marketer, your objective will be to identify suitable potential customers, determine how to reach them online and develop marketing activities that can convert attention into measurable sales.

What Does a Digital Products Marketer Do?

A Digital Products Marketer helps connect useful digital products with the people most likely to need them.

The role can involve researching customer problems, identifying target audiences, creating promotional content, selecting appropriate marketing channels, generating traffic, testing different marketing messages and tracking results.

Depending on your strategy, you could use channels such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Google Search, SEO, email, online communities, blogs, influencers, paid advertising or other legitimate digital marketing channels.

The objective is not simply to generate views or followers.

The objective is to develop a customer-acquisition strategy capable of generating measurable product sales.

What You May Be Responsible For

Successful applicants may be involved in researching potential markets and customer needs, selecting or being assigned appropriate digital products, identifying target audiences, developing promotional campaigns and creating or coordinating marketing content.

You may also test different messages, channels and audiences; generate traffic to product pages; monitor campaign performance; improve conversion strategies; use AI tools to improve marketing productivity; report measurable results; and scale strategies that demonstrate positive performance.

Because this is remote work, marketers should be comfortable organizing their own activities and working independently toward measurable targets.

Who Can Apply?

This opportunity may be suitable for:

Digital marketers
Freelancers
Social media marketers
Content creators
Affiliate marketers
Sales and business-development professionals
University and college students
Graduates and job seekers
Remote-work seekers
Bloggers and influencers
Community managers
Performance marketers
SEO and content marketers
Email marketers
WhatsApp marketers
TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube creators
People interested in using AI for marketing and research

You do not need to possess all these skills.

We are particularly interested in applicants who can demonstrate initiative, creativity, research ability, commercial thinking and a practical approach to generating measurable results online.

No Previous Digital-Product Marketing Experience Required

You do not need to be an expert in digital products before applying.

Instead of requiring applicants to explain digital-product marketing theoretically, we want to see how you think.

That is why the application includes a practical marketing challenge.

You can research the market, investigate customer demand and use appropriate AI and digital tools while developing your proposal.

Your strategy should demonstrate your own reasoning, decisions and proposed execution.

APPLICATION CHALLENGE

Step 1: Identify ONE Digital Product You Can Market

Choose one real or simulated digital product that you believe people would be willing to purchase online.

It should preferably be a useful knowledge or problem-solving product such as a:

You have two options.

Option A: Develop your own simulated digital-product concept for purposes of the application.

Option B: Identify an existing product from platforms like Vezill that you believe you could market.

You are not required to create the actual product.

Briefly explain:

What is the product?
Describe what you intend to market.

What problem does it solve?
Identify the problem, need, aspiration or desired result addressed by the product.

Why would someone buy it?
Explain the practical value the customer receives.

Who would buy it?
Identify the type of customer most likely to need the product.

Step 2: Design a Brief Digital Marketing Strategy

Show us how you would take the product to market.

Your strategy should answer the following questions.

1. Who Is Your Target Audience?

Define the people most likely to purchase your selected product.

Depending on the product, consider factors such as:

Country or geographical market
Age/life stage
Profession or occupation
Interests
Problems and frustrations
Needs and desired outcomes
Search behaviour
Online behaviour
Purchase motivation

Do not simply write “everyone.”

We want to understand who you would target and why.

2. What Problem Are You Selling a Solution To?

Identify the specific problem, frustration, need or aspiration that could motivate your target customer to purchase.

Show that you understand the customer – not just the product.

3. What Is Your Marketing Message?

What would you say to attract the attention of your target audience?

Explain the main value proposition or marketing angle you would test.

4. What Is Your Sales Target?

Set a measurable and realistic target.

For example:

Product selling price: KSh / ₦ / R / $_____
Target sales: _____ units
Campaign period: _____ days/weeks/months
Target revenue: _____
Estimated audience/traffic required: _____
Expected conversion rate, if applicable: _____%

These figures are planning assumptions -not guaranteed results.

We want to see how you think about marketing in measurable terms.

5. How Would You Scale?

Imagine your strategy successfully generates your first:

10 sales → 100 sales → 1000 sales

What would you do next?

Explain how you would scale the strategy by expanding successful content, channels, audiences, partnerships, campaigns or advertising.

Step 3: Select Your Marketing Channels

Tell us where you would find potential customers and why.

You might consider:

Organic Social Media:
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X or other platforms.

Video:
TikTok, YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels or Facebook Reels.

Community Marketing:
Facebook Groups, WhatsApp, Telegram and relevant online communities.

Search Marketing:
Google Search, SEO, blogs and search-focused content.

Paid Advertising:
Meta Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads or other appropriate advertising platforms.

Direct & Relationship Marketing:
WhatsApp, email, referrals, partnerships, affiliates or influencers.

You do not need to use every channel.

Selecting three appropriate channels and explaining why they could work is more valuable than listing 15 channels without a strategy.

Can You Use AI?

Yes.

We encourage responsible use of AI and digital tools.

You may use AI to assist with market research, audience research, keyword research, content ideas, advertising concepts, marketing copy, video scripts, campaign planning and marketing analysis.

However, your final application should demonstrate your own strategic thinking and decision-making.

We want marketers who can use AI as a productivity tool – not simply copy an AI-generated strategy they cannot explain or execute.

How to Submit Your Application

Submit your application in one of the following formats.

Option 1: PDF Marketing Strategy

Prepare a concise PDF explaining your selected product and proposed marketing strategy.

OR

Option 2: Video Presentation

Record a short video presentation explaining your strategy and provide an accessible video link.

Your presentation does not need expensive production.

We are primarily interested in the quality and practicality of your thinking.

Include the Following With Your Application

Please include:

Full name
Country
City/town, where applicable
Email address
Phone/WhatsApp contact, where appropriate
Personal profile or CV
Relevant skills
Relevant experience, if any
Social media profile links you could potentially use for marketing
Portfolio or previous work links, if available
Your PDF marketing strategy or video presentation link

Lack of previous formal digital-marketing employment does not automatically disqualify you.

A well-researched, practical and commercially sensible marketing strategy can demonstrate your potential.

Compensation: Commission-Based

This is a commission-based online opportunity and is not a fixed-salary position.

Earnings depend on successful qualifying product sales and the applicable commission arrangement.

Specific commission terms applicable to the engagement should be communicated to successful or shortlisted applicants before they begin marketing.

Applicants should therefore consider whether performance-based/commission-based work is suitable for their circumstances before applying.

What We Are Looking For

We are interested in people who demonstrate a combination of:

Research + Creativity + Commercial Thinking + Execution + Measurable Results

Useful qualities include being self-driven, digitally curious, customer-focused, creative, results-oriented and comfortable working independently.

You should also be willing to test different ideas, learn from marketing data, improve campaigns and use AI responsibly.

A university degree is not the central consideration for this opportunity.

Show us what you can do.

Ethical Marketing Is Required

All marketers are expected to follow ethical digital-marketing practices.

Do not use spam, fake testimonials, fabricated customer results, deceptive advertising or misleading product claims.

Do not make unrealistic health, financial, career or income promises.
