Nigerian Influencer and skit maker, Nons Miraj, has disclosed in a recent interview with The Rolls Roye Experience how she was able to make her first million without any man helping her.
She spoke on her humble beginnings, about how she had first started in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The struggles and financial difficulties she faced working in Nollywood that had caused her to quit and spurred her to pursue a different career path.
“It was rubbish money; unlike a salary job where you make 70K monthly, they pay you 90K after shooting for three months. It was not worth it,”
I would go to Balogun market, buy perfumes and jewelry for N3K and sell them at N50K. I divided the profit into two: one for my piggy bank and the other to fund my life,”
Due to the measly pay, she earned from working in the entertainment industry, she decided to quit and go into the business of buying and reselling goods at a higher price for profit.
She revealed that while she was approached by men during this period of her life, they weren’t the type of men that added value to her.
“Men were coming but not the type you think will sponsor your life. I was in a relationship but not in the sugar daddy vibe,” She said.
Despite all she earned from her business, her breakthrough came when she went into content creation and became a full-time influencer.
Her growing online presence granted her new opportunities, such as increasing her value in the entertainment industry, leading to better acting opportunities and higher pay.
She went on to talk about just how big content creation affected her career and the various projects she was able to undertake as a result.
“I was saving with my mum, I had my own savings, my salon was there, and acting started paying N300K after social media presence.
I didn’t wait for a man to give me; my pride grew when I started making more money. There’s nothing I couldn’t give myself,” she proclaimed.
