Media Trust Limited, publishers of the Daily Trust titles, has launched Starters Connect, a platform for business starters to tell their stories and connect.
Starters Connect is available to subscribers of the newspaper’s membership portal, Trust Plus.
Recall that last year, the newspaper launched its membership portal, an initiative to connect journalists and journalism with the audience cyclically and interactively.
The platform enables consumers of news or members of the community to contribute to what journalists do and for journalists to use their professional skills in producing relevant media content for the community.
Starters Connect is a weekly newsletter that curates success stories of business start-ups in Nigeria and documents case studies. The contents will also be available on the membership website.
Over 300+ business starters have joined the platform to tell their stories.
Speaking on the new platform, Naziru Mikailu Abubakar, Daily Trust Editor-in-Chief said: “Major problems in Nigeria today are joblessness and unemployment. Entrepreneurship on a large or small scale has proven to address these problems.
“The purpose of Starters Connect is to find the “doers” – young and established business people making millions of naira from businesses in Nigeria and abroad.
“Daily Trust connects these people and profiles them. We ask them questions that our readers interested in innovation in business want answers to.”
He added that “Subscribers of the newsletter can learn and be inspired by young and established business people in Nigeria on how they grew their businesses from little capital; their mistakes, and how they are impacting the Nigerian economy.”
Are you doing a full-time job and want to start a business on the side? Do you have an inspiring story to tell about your business? Or are you a business owner who wants to learn from other businesses like yours? Starters Connect is for you.
Join the Daily Trust Membership today to gain immediate access to the content and connect with other business starters.
Here’s a sneak peek at the benefits: How to start and grow your business; An inside look at current examples of thriving businesses; What it takes to grow your business; Blueprint of how business starters are accessing funding and marketing their services; and much more.
All these benefits are contained in in-depth and exclusive interviews with startup founders. Other networking events with other business start-ups are also in the pipeline via the membership portal.
