01.01 Describe your startup in more detail

At opportunitiesmedia.com, we are committed to bridging the gap between seekers and opportunities. I lunched opportunitiesmedia.com on 2nd of December 2023, out of my commitment and passion to drastically reduce the number of people being scammed on a daily through job platforms in Nigeria. I was able to set up the website by myself in WordPress.com. I worked on it alone for some months before engaging the services of two Corps Members to help with daily publishing on the platform. This became expedient because I needed to read for my final semester exams for my M.Sc. Even though I haven't made a dime from the website through ad revenue or any other means, I had to pay them from my salary. Just so I don't stop providing the services of helping people access genuine job at no cost. My current plan on WordPress does not allow me use any other Revenue platform except WordAds. I need to upgrade to be able to enable use other options like Google adsense etc, to maintain quality service
