Market Research Specialist Needed – Content Creation & Monetization Academy in Africa

Hi, I’m an online investor in the process of setting up a new academy focused on content creation and monetization in Africa. Before I move forward with the full launch, I need solid, practical research to help me understand the market, opportunities, and what already works on the ground. I’m looking for someone who can deliver a clear, well-structured research report within 2 days. Project Scope I need research covering the following areas: Current demand for content creation and monetization training/education in key African markets (priority: Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and any other high-potential countries you identify) Existing competitors and similar academies/courses (online and offline) — what they offer, pricing models, strengths, and gaps Popular content platforms and monetization methods currently used by African creators (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, blogs, etc.) Common challenges African content creators face when trying to monetize Target audience insights (age groups, income levels, preferred learning formats — live, recorded, community-based, etc.) Pricing benchmarks for similar training programs in Africa Any relevant local regulations, payment systems, or practical barriers I should be aware of High-level recommendations on positioning, potential course topics, and go-to-market approach Deliverables A clear, well-organized research report (PDF or Google Doc) Key findings summarized with data/sources where possible Competitor overview (table or structured list preferred) Actionable insights and recommendations section List of sources used Timeline & Budget Duration: 2 days (48 hours from project start) Budget: Fixed price of $980 USD This is a short, focused research project.
