Feedcover

Creator Style Guide and Monetization

Create freely, package premium work, offer your expertise, and receive support from your audience.

This guide exists to protect trust on the platform while preserving your individuality. Feedcover posts should feel human, lived-in, and rooted in real Nigerian experiences.

Four clear earning possibilities

Publish free content for discovery and earn from genuine audience Value Events, sell premium content through Collections, accept paid service requests through Intents, and receive voluntary gifts. Each serves a different purpose, so creators and audiences always know what they are paying for.

How earning works

Free content

Stay open for discovery. Eligible creators can earn when signed-in people genuinely like, save, share, discuss, or follow.

Premium Collections

Set one price for a Collection. Its Feeds stay private until a user unlocks that specific Collection from their wallet.

Paid Intents

Offer eligible services or access. Payment is held through acceptance and released after completion, with refunds for declines or expiry.

Gifts

Receive voluntary audience support without locking content or promising a service in return.

This guide exists to maintain quality, clarity, and trust across all Feedcover content while preserving the individuality of each creator. Feedcover content should feel human, lived-in, and rooted in real Nigerian experiences. This is not about sounding perfect. It is about sounding real, useful, and relatable.

The Creator is required to register and set up an account on Feedcover.

  • A clear, high-resolution profile image must be uploaded.
  • All account details must be completed accurately.
  • The Creator must provide authentic and verifiable personal information.
  • A valid personal phone number must be clearly provided.

The Creator is expected to consistently publish original and relevant content on Feedcover.

Content should reflect real-life experiences and practical insights aligned with Feedcover’s purpose and guidelines.

1. Free content and Value Events

Feeds, Questions, Newsletters, and free Collections remain available for discovery. Free content may carry advertising, while eligible creators can earn when signed-in people take genuine actions that show value.

  • Qualifying actions currently include like, save, share, discussion, follow.
  • One person can create only one earning event of each type for the same content or creator.
  • Multiple comments or replies by the same person on one content item count as one discussion Value Event.
  • Only signed-in activity counts. Your own actions on your content never count.
  • Removing and repeating an action does not create another earning.
  • Each accepted action adds one currency-neutral Value Event. The current wallet settlement is 1 Value Event = ₦1.
  • Eligible earnings appear in Monetisation and are credited to the creator's wallet.

2. Premium Collections

A premium Collection is the paid container for a complete series, guide, course, exclusive story, or other premium body of work. You set one NGN price and select between one and five of your own published Feeds.

  • The Collection page remains discoverable so people can understand the offer before paying.
  • Feeds inside it are private to you, Feedcover admins, and people who unlock that Collection.
  • Those Feeds do not appear publicly in search, recommendations, profiles, category pages, tags, or share previews.
  • Use a separate free Feed as a trailer or preview when you want to promote a premium Collection.
  • A wallet payment unlocks that Collection for the buyer; it does not unlock every premium Collection.
  • Your net proceeds are credited as creator earnings after any fee shown by Feedcover.

3. Paid Intents

An Intent is for access to you or a service—not for selling content. Pricing is optional and free remains the default. Eligible uses include consultations, mentorship, advice, speaking, custom work, collaborations, and brand requests.

  • The requester pays from their wallet and Feedcover holds the money while you review the request.
  • Accept when you can deliver. Declining or allowing the request to expire returns the held amount to the requester.
  • Completing the request releases the net creator earnings to your wallet.
  • Polls, downloads, and other digital content are not turned into paid Intents.
  • If an Intent sits inside a premium Collection Feed, only people who unlocked the Collection can see or use it. Any paid service remains a separate, clearly priced choice.

4. Gifts

Gifts are voluntary appreciation for eligible content or a specific comment, answer, or review. The gift goes to the author of the item where it was sent. It does not unlock a Collection, buy an Intent, or create an obligation to deliver anything. Confirmed gifts are recorded separately and credited to the recipient's eligible earnings balance.

Wallet funds added by a user can be spent on Feedcover but cannot be withdrawn by that user. Creator earnings and received gifts may be withdrawn when eligible. Learn more in Wallet.

Gifts let readers voluntarily support the person whose work they found useful, relatable, or valuable. This can be the author of eligible parent content—such as a Feed, Question, or Newsletter—or the author of an eligible discussion contribution, such as a comment, answer, or review. A gift does not unlock content or purchase a service.

  • On parent content, the gift goes to that content's author.
  • On a comment, answer, or review, the gift goes to the author of that specific contribution.
  • Readers can send fixed gift amounts from their Feedcover wallet balance.
  • When a gift is confirmed, the amount moves from the reader's wallet to the recipient's earnings balance.
  • Gift receipts appear in wallet/payment records so both sides can track the transfer.
  • Creators should treat gifts as appreciation from readers, not as a guaranteed or recurring payout stream.

Organic discovery can be slow at the start. The fastest way to grow your profile and help your feeds rank is to actively distribute your posts to the communities where your readers already spend time.

Best places to share

  • WhatsApp Status: Post the link with a short, clear hook (what it’s about + why it’s useful).
  • WhatsApp Groups: Share only in relevant groups (campus, street/estate, city groups, professional groups). Add context before dropping the link.
  • Telegram Channels/Groups: Good for niche communities. Pair the link with 2–3 lines of summary.
  • Instagram: Put the link in bio, then post a story + a feed teaser. Tell people exactly what they’ll learn.
  • Facebook Groups: These are powerful for local topics. Share a snippet and ask a question to spark comments.

How to share so people actually click

  • Lead with a hook: 1 sentence that makes the reader curious (avoid vague “check this out”).
  • Use a short excerpt: Copy 2–3 lines from your feed so people can “taste” the post.
  • Ask a question: “Have you experienced this in Ikeja/PH/Abuja?” drives replies.
  • Share at the right time: mornings, lunch, evenings—test what works for your audience.
  • Follow up: Reply to comments quickly; early engagement helps distribution.

Important

  • Avoid spamming. Relevance + consistency wins; forced posting in random groups hurts trust.
  • One great feed shared well can outperform many weak posts. Prioritize quality and clarity.

  • All content must comply with Feedcover’s content guidelines and must not infringe on any copyright or intellectual property rights.
  • The Creator retains ownership of their content but grants Feedcover a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and promote the content on the platform.
  • Feedcover reserves the right to remove any content that violates its guidelines or is deemed inappropriate.
  • Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality regarding any non-public or sensitive information.
  • Either party may terminate this agreement by providing written notice.
  • Any verified earnings accrued up to the termination date will be processed in accordance with the wallet and earnings terms.

Feedcover is a hyperlocal social content platform for Nigerians. Content should reflect:

  • Everyday Nigerian life
  • Personal experiences and observations
  • Location-specific realities
  • Stories people recognize instantly

Think street-level insight, not generic summaries.

Avoid content that is:

  • Copy-pasted from blogs or news sites
  • Overly polished or corporate
  • Written like a press release
  • Based on assumptions instead of lived or observed experience
  • Clickbait without substance

1. Experience First

Every post should be grounded in something real.

  • What you saw
  • What you did
  • What you paid
  • What surprised you

If you did not experience it directly, make it clear you are reporting or observing, not narrating as first-hand.

2. Hyperlocal Always

Good Feedcover content answers at least one of these:

  • Where exactly?
  • Which area, street, market, or neighborhood?
  • What makes this experience specific to Nigeria or a Nigerian city?

Vague locations weaken trust.

3. Relatability Over Perfection

Write how Nigerians actually talk, but clearly.

  • Simple sentences
  • Natural flow
  • No forced slang

Clarity beats cleverness.

Approved Tone

  • Conversational
  • Observant
  • Honest
  • Light humor where natural
  • Respectful

Avoid

  • Over-dramatization
  • Moral preaching
  • Excessive emojis
  • Sounding like an advert

Write like you are telling a friend something useful.

Sentence Structure

  • Short to medium sentences
  • One idea per sentence
  • Avoid long paragraphs

Paragraph Length

  • 1 to 3 sentences max per paragraph
  • White space improves readability

Language

  • English is primary
  • Nigerian expressions are allowed when they add meaning
  • Explain local terms briefly if they may confuse readers

1. Experience Posts

Personal stories tied to a location or situation.

Suggested structure:

  • Context
  • What happened
  • Insight or takeaway
  • Soft question

2. Utility Posts

Helpful content that answers real questions.

Examples:

  • How to get something done
  • Where to find something
  • What to expect before going somewhere

Requirements:

  • Be specific
  • Share prices, timelines, or steps when possible
  • Avoid guessing

3. Observation Posts

Short, sharp insights about Nigerian behavior or systems.

Examples:

  • Transport culture
  • Power supply habits
  • Social norms

These work best when concise.

Rules for writing headlines or titles

  • Be clear and specific
  • Avoid exaggeration
  • Avoid misleading promises

Good

“How Much It Cost Me to Run a Generator for One Week in Surulere”

Bad

“You Won’t Believe What I Discovered About Generators”

Rules for an opening line/first paragraph

The first paragraph should pull readers in by stating the situation directly. Avoid long introductions.

Rules:

  • Do not invent prices, places, or events
  • If unsure, say so
  • If information is second-hand, state it clearly

Wrong information damages the platform.

Humor is encouraged, but should:

  • Feel natural
  • Never insult groups or individuals
  • Never rely on stereotypes

If humor distracts from the message, remove it.

Do not:

  • Shame people for their financial status
  • Mock religious, ethnic, or regional identities
  • Share private information without consent

Real stories should still respect boundaries.

When adding photos:

  • Use clear images that relate to your content
  • Avoid explicit photos that promote nudity
  • Focus on clarity, not aesthetics

Blurry or misleading visuals reduce credibility.

Strong Feedcover posts often end with:

  • A reflective thought
  • A simple question that gives room for engagement
  • An invitation for others to share their experience

Do not force engagement bait.

Before publishing a post on Feedcover, ask:

  • Is this based on a real experience or observation?
  • Is the location clear?
  • Would a Nigerian reader relate immediately?
  • Is this useful, insightful, or entertaining?
  • Does this sound like me, not a brand?

Feedcover values originality over perfection. Your voice matters. This guide exists to protect that voice while ensuring readers know what to expect every time they open the app.

Write honestly. Write locally. Write like you were there.
