Phone to Feed: Shoot, Edit and Design Content That Sells

← Back to Training

Self-paced Design & Media Beginner 4 weeks, about 2 to 3 hours a week 15 lessons

About this course

This course is for small business owners, creators, church and school media teams, and anyone who posts for a brand but can't afford a photographer, videographer and designer every week. You don't need a camera, a laptop or any experience. If you have a smartphone, you have everything you need.

Your instructor, Nelson Kennedy Kessie, is a photographer, videographer, graphic designer and web developer from Accra. He built the media brand Campus Drive TV, runs event production at BMB Event Hub, and has created content for brands such as Airobase Multimedia, The Conrado Group, CTL Africa and Heritage Christian University College. In this course he shows you the same habits he uses on paid shoots, scaled down to a phone.

By the end you will have a finished content kit for your own business: a set of product or service photos, a 30-second reel, and branded post designs, plus a simple weekly plan for keeping your page active.

What you will learn

• Set up your phone camera properly and get sharp, well-lit photos without extra gear
• Shoot clean product photos and professional portraits using cheap household items
• Edit photos to a consistent look with free mobile apps
• Plan, shoot and edit a 30-second reel with a strong hook, steady shots and clear sound
• Add captions, music and text in CapCut and export in the right size for Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp Status
• Build a simple brand kit in Canva and design posts that look like they belong together
• Plan a week of content and read the numbers that actually matter
