Interviewer: Misbaudeen, congratulations on being featured at such an exclusive summit. What was the experience like for you?
Misbaudeen:
It was a phenomenal experience and a major milestone for me. The Google for Publishers Summit was not just another conference. It was an invitation-only event for high-earning, performance-driven digital advertisers and publishers. Being selected validated the years of work I’ve put into building platforms that serve people, solve real problems, and generate results. Sitting with someone like Felicia Otolorin, among others who leads Google’s business engagement in Nigeria, and discussing traffic generation and monetization strategies felt surreal yet affirming.
Interviewer: What key lessons or revelations did you take away from the summit?
Misbaudeen:
The summit had some incredible sessions. Insights from the Adsense Policy Pro team showed how we can avoid violations and maximize revenue sustainability. The Search Rankings presentation gave sharp strategies on staying relevant in changing algorithm landscapes. What really stood out, though, was the official launch of the $3 million Google News Initiative Innovation Fund, a real game-changer for the publishing ecosystem in this country. It was inspiring to see Google invest so heavily in Nigeria digital innovation.
Interviewer: You’ve successfully leveraged Google tools to build thriving platforms. How has that journey been for you?
Misbaudeen:
From Google AdSense to Ad Manager and the tools within Google Publisher Console, the ecosystem has been a backbone for my growth. I’ve used these tools to test, optimize, and scale every piece of content and campaign we run. With platforms like Jobslance.com, we’re not just providing premium job information and recruitment processes to people. We’re creating access, trust, and transparency. Google’s support has been strategic and consistent throughout that journey.
Interviewer: What does this kind of recognition mean for the future of digital advertising and publishing business in Nigeria?
Misbaudeen:
It sets a standard. It tells Nigerian digital advertisers, digital entrepreneurs, and publishers that excellence gets noticed and rewarded. When you build with purpose, data, and integrity, platforms like Google will support you. This recognition is not just mine; it’s for every digital entrepreneur, digital advertisers, publisher, and young entrepreneur building something valuable in this ecosystem.
