I've been the content lead at a marketing agency for the past 3 months.
I can tell you for free that you have a much better chance of landing content & marketing gigs if you can do these 2 things religiously (me i've tried it o)
1. Build a portfolio around case studies.
2. Create demo videos showcasing your skills.
Let me explain why these two things can give you an advantage, especially if you're just starting out.
1. Stop filling your portfolio with writing samples alone.
Writing samples are important, but content marketing goes beyond writing.
Businesses want people who can research, develop strategies, understand audiences, identify content gaps and connect content to business objectives.
Your portfolio should demonstrate these abilities.
For instance, if you want to work with SaaS companies, find three SaaS brands and analyse their content marketing strategies.
Look at their websites, blogs, social media platforms, messaging and content distribution.
Identify problems and develop practical recommendations.
Turn your findings into detailed case studies.
Be transparent that these are independent projects, not paid client engagements.
2. Start creating demo videos.
This is one strategy I think more beginner content marketers should adopt.
Instead of just telling potential clients that you understand content marketing, RECORD YOURSELF demonstrating what you know.
For example, create a 5-minute video showing:
- How you conduct a content audit.
- How you develop a content strategy.
- How you create a 30-day content calendar.
- How you analyse competitors.
- How you identify content gaps.
- How you develop content pillars for a business.
Use Loom or OBS Studio to record your screen while explaining your thought process. (You can also use your phone recorder)
3. Why do these demo videos give you an advantage?
Think about it from a client's perspective.
You're asking someone to pay you for a skill they've never seen you demonstrate.
A demo video changes that.
Here's what happens:
• It builds trust:
Clients can see how you approach real business problems instead of relying on your claims.
• It demonstrates expertise:
You show your research, strategic thinking, communication and problem-solving abilities.
• It reduces hiring uncertainty:
A client gets a preview of how you might approach their project before committing money.
• It makes cold pitching easier:
Instead of sending generic emails, you can send personalised videos highlighting opportunities you've identified in a prospect's business.
• It differentiates you:
While other beginners are submitting CVs and writing samples, you're giving potential employers something more substantial to evaluate.
4. Where should you start?
Here's a practical assignment:
1. Pick an industry you want to work in.
2. Identify three businesses in that industry.
3. Analyse their existing content.
4. Develop three case studies highlighting problems and proposed solutions.
5. Record three demo videos explaining your recommendations.
6. Upload everything to Notion, Substack or Google Drive.
7. Add your portfolio link to your CV, LinkedIn profile and cold pitches.
You don't need 10 paying clients to build a portfolio that demonstrates your capabilities.
Start with independent projects. Be honest about what you've done and what results are hypothetical.
As you gain clients, replace those projects with actual client case studies and measurable results.
Stop building portfolios that only tell people what you can do. Build portfolios that SHOW them what you can do.
The difference between being another applicant and becoming the candidate a business wants to speak with is how well you demonstrate your abilities.

Meet Ora! 😊 Our New Operations Agent at DEXA.
For the past week, Ify has been doing quite a lot.
From managing our community and following up on technical complaints to giving me a daily recap of work done every evening by 8 PM and a morning report of everything I need to know by 8 AM.
She's been running from pillar to post!
And something could eventually break if we keep stretching her across too many responsibilities.
And that's where Ora comes in.
Ora is our new Operations Agent at DEXA. When fully onboarded later this week, she'll take charge of technical operations behind the scenes.
What will she do?
- Help learners regain access to their accounts.
- Handle password resets and account access issues.
- Investigate and troubleshoot lesson-related problems.
- Diagnose technical complaints.
- Manage our Learning Management System (LMS).
- Support the smooth running of DEXA's technical infrastructure.
And that's just the beginning.
Ify is soft, patient, and empathetic. She's our people person.
Ora? She's a tech girl. 😊
We may even give her browser capabilities soon, allowing her to navigate websites, fill out forms, interact with platforms, and execute tasks using her own computer.
Think about that for a moment: an AI agent that doesn't just tell you what to do but can actually take action and get things done.
Don't be deceived by her beautiful African girl look.
Ora is a tech genius! 😂
Welcome to DEXA's Agentic AI Era.
We're not just using AI to generate content or answer questions anymore. We're building AI agents that take ownership of responsibilities, execute workflows, solve problems, and help us operate more efficiently.
And this is only the beginning.
When we ar done. You may understand where we are heading. For now, keep up with the process.
Like I said, you must move beyond using AI for just content, video and image generation. Think Agentic. That's the future.

If you are starting a tech career from zero, don't make your first goal “get a job.”
Make your first 90 days about becoming demonstrably useful.
Days 1–30
Understand the field.
Learn the vocabulary.
Study the tools.
Watch professionals work.
Complete foundational exercises.
Days 31–60
Start producing.
Build small projects.
Solve realistic problems.
Get feedback.
Document your work.
Days 61–90
Start testing yourself against the market.
Apply.
Freelance.
Ask for reviews.
Enter communities.
Talk to practitioners.
Look for internships and junior opportunities.
Your first 90 days should move you from:
“I am interested in this.”
to:
“Here is what I can actually do.”
Don't measure the first three months by how many courses you completed.
Measure them by how much capability you can demonstrate.

I'm blown away! DEXA is building a slightly close equivalent of Grok bot with some of its capabilities, but it's going to be an in-house software for now.
I'm leading this engineering.
I mean very capable Ai/Si agents. I just tested one feature I shipped on Ora a few minutes ago, and it went through. I just smiled.
Here's a use case;
When a learner submits an assignment given in the course, unlike before when we don't give feedback quick or at all, Ora now goes through the assignment, whether in pdf format or word document or text, it would grade it and tell the learner what they still need to improve on, to make their skills better.
But before she sends this to the learner, she sends it first to the course director, they'll review and judge it as wrong or needs improvement. if they click on Approve, the learner gets it straight on their dashboard, their telegram DM, email and soon their WhatsApp.
Nna! I won't brag about being the only or first, or first few Nigerian Edtech start up founder(s) to engineer this level of Agentic AI wizardry into our Learning Management System.
We are more interested in solid work right now.
I'll tell you other capabilities of Ora soon.
But note this... Ora will eventually be more capable than Ify, which I first released.
Especially when I figure out and deploy the ability to have its own computer, browse the internet and do things on a browser like a human.
I think Agentic AI is the future of repeated work. you should be designing around it.
Until then, let's keep casting spells. 😊
Meanwhile, we are still researching how to launch a DEXA mini app on telegram and ensure all learner data syncs with our website. See you at moon set 😊
