Lagos, Abuja, and the location on the card

Location is a hiring filter for work that happens in a place. It is not a ranking boost for work that happens in a bedroom.

A talking-head video can be filmed anywhere with light and a quiet corner. A store visit cannot. The city on the card is how a brand in Abuja avoids hiring a creator who would need a flight, and how a creator in Port Harcourt avoids a brief that assumes same-day pickup in Ikeja.

Write the city you can actually reach this month. A location you visit twice a year will produce a missed shoot and a dispute. The directory filter is only as honest as the field.

Remote work should say remote in the brief. Do not leave location blank and hope. Creators read a blank as 'anywhere', then discover the booking is a shop in another state.
