Your Phone, Your Shop: How We Turned Smartphones into Online Stores for Small Business Owners!

đź“… November 5, 2026

If you dropped by our virtual room on Saturday, October 31st, you already know the energy was unmatched!

We hosted a practical, high-impact online workshop titled "Your Phone, Your Shop: How to Start Selling Online Using WhatsApp & Instagram," and to say it was a success would be an understatement.

Why This Workshop?
Let’s be honest—almost everyone has a smartphone, but not everyone knows how to turn that small device into a non-stop sales hub!

We specifically put this event together for our community of micro-entrepreneurs, small business owners, women, and persons with disabilities (PWDs). Our big goal? To break down the tech barriers and prove that you don't need a massive budget or a fancy website to run a booming business.

Highlights from the Session
Our guest facilitator, Adegbola Kayode Joseph (AKJ), took us on an eye-opening, step-by-step tour of digital selling. From setting up professional WhatsApp Business catalogs and setting smart auto-replies to routing Instagram traffic into real orders, he kept every single tip simple, realistic, and actionable.

True to our core value of 100% inclusion, our amazing Sign Language Interpreter, Tomi Ebenezer, ensured that every participant could follow along seamlessly without missing a beat.

What’s Next?
The host’s mic may be turned off for this edition, but the hustle is just getting started! If you missed out on this session, don't worry—DADE Initiative is already cooking up the next capacity-building event.

Until then: Your phone is in your hand—go make those sales!
