Video Subtitling and Captioning Service

Content creators, churches, filmmakers, and course creators need accurate subtitles/captions added to their videos — for accessibility, for viewers who watch on mute (most social media viewers do), and for reaching non-English-speaking audiences. You use free tools like CapCut's auto-captions or Kapwing as a starting draft, then manually correct timing and wording, and style the captions to match the video's branding. This is steady, repeatable freelance work since most creators need it for every single video they publish.

🚀 How to Get Started
  1. 1
    Learn one captioning tool well (CapCut is free and works on phone) — focus on auto-caption plus manual correction workflow
  2. 2
    Build a small portfolio by captioning 3-5 sample videos (your own or free stock footage) in different styles: clean minimal, bold TikTok-style, church/sermon style
  3. 3
    Reach out to churches, YouTube creators, and course creators — they are the most consistent buyers of this service
  4. 4
    Price per video length: ₦1,000-₦2,000 for a short video (under 5 minutes), ₦5,000+ for a full sermon or long-form video
  5. 5
    Offer a monthly retainer for creators who post regularly (e.g. ₦25,000/month for up to 8 videos), which is more stable than one-off jobs
  6. 6
    Add multi-language captioning as a premium add-on once comfortable, since Nigerian creators increasingly want Yoruba/Igbo/Hausa or French captions for wider reach
