As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh. Could you introduce yourself?

Wa ʿalaykumu s-salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh.

I am Taiwo Hassan AJIBOYE, widely called Cresol. The founder of Cresol Digitals, a student-driven digital brand focused on equipping young people with practical, income-generating digital skills while they are still in school.

What inspired you to start a digital brand focused on students while still in school yourself?

After facing challenges trying to navigate the digital space, the inspiration came from a gap I observed: many students have potential but lack exposure to practical skills that can translate into income. I wanted to create a platform that helps students move from just learning academically to actually earning and building real-world competence.

For someone hearing about Cresol Digitals for the first time, how would you describe what your brand does?

Cresol Digitals is a platform that trains students in digital marketing, affiliate marketing, and content creation, with a strong focus on helping them monetise these skills in practical ways.


What problem is Cresol Digitals solving for students and young people today?
We are solving the problem of financial dependence and lack of practical skills among students by equipping them with the right skills to earn, build relevance, and become self-reliant. We also collaborate with brands for visibility, most especially solution-based brands, for business owners.


Your brand focuses on digital marketing, affiliate marketing, and content creation. Why these areas specifically?

These are high-demand, accessible skills that require minimal startup capital and can be learned and monetised even with just a smartphone, making them ideal for students.
Not limited to this, we also recently bagged a student Ambassador with Ava Books – a WhatsApp bookkeeping tool built for business owners.

What makes Cresol Digitals different from other platforms that teach digital skills?

We emphasise simplicity, clarity, and execution. Our approach is not overloaded with theory; we break things down and guide students step-by-step until they can actually apply and earn.
We prioritise mentorship over anything, because the digital space is not a space to navigate as a lone sheep; you need a shepherd to hold your hand if you want to get faster results.

You mentioned practical learning. How exactly do you ensure students don’t just learn but actually earn?

We provide structured guidance, actionable steps, real-life examples, and tasks through power-packed courses and programs that push students to implement immediately. The focus is always on the process of getting results, not just knowledge.

Can you tell us about your trainings, masterclasses, or mentorship structure and how they work?

Our programs are structured into step-by-step modules delivered through classes and guided sessions. Students are taken from foundational knowledge to practical execution, with support systems and personalised mentorship to ensure clarity and progress.
The masterclass, tagged THE RICH DAD TRIBE, is where bona fide students have exclusive access to full mentorship.

Have there been success stories from students who have gone through Cresol Digitals? Kindly share

Yes, we’ve had students who moved from having no prior knowledge to understanding digital platforms, starting affiliate marketing, and earning online. While some are still in early stages, the growth in skill, confidence, and direction is very evident.
An example is one of my pioneer students, Aisha, a student of Obafemi Awolowo University who has not just mastered Affiliate marketing with just her smartphone, but earns steadily. She’s currently the leading student in my mentorship group.

What kind of transformation can someone expect after learning with your brand?

They move from confusion to clarity, from dependence to self-reliance, and from passive learning to active earning and value creation.

In your opinion, how important are digital skills for students in today’s economy?

Digital skills are no longer optional; they are essential. They give students leverage, relevance, and the ability to create opportunities beyond traditional limitations.

How do you promote Cresol Digitals and reach students who need these opportunities?

We leverage social media platforms, educational communities, and targeted content that speaks directly to students’ needs and realities.

If you had just 30 seconds to advertise Cresol Digitals, what key message would you share?

“If you’re a student with just a smartphone and data, Cresol Digitals will show you how to turn that into a skill and a source of income.- no confusion, just clear steps and real results.”

Running a digital brand as a student isn’t easy. How do you balance academics and business?

It requires discipline, planning, and prioritisation. I structure my time intentionally, ensuring that both academics and the brand receive focused attention while being cautious of my personal and mental wellbeing.

What challenges have you faced building Cresol Digitals, and how did you overcome them?

Some challenges include time constraints, combining leadership with entrepreneurship, especially when dealing with post-secondary school students and building trust. I’ve overcome them through consistency, continuous learning, and focusing on delivering real value. I also ensure I separate my business relations from my personal relations.

How has your personal growth journey influenced how you run your brand?

Even though I am still in the process, my personal growth has shaped my emphasis on discipline, clarity, and value. I build the brand in a way that reflects growth—not just financially, but mentally and ethically.

You mentioned expanding into student-focused digital solutions. Can you tell us more about that vision?

The vision is to go beyond training into creating tools, platforms, and solutions that address real challenges students face —particularly in digital safety, productivity, and financial access.

Where do you see Cresol Digitals in the next few years?

I see Cresol Digitals growing into a recognised platform for student empowerment, producing skilled individuals who are not just earning but creating impact.

What advice would you give to students who want to learn digital skills but don’t know where to start?

Start simple. Choose one skill, focus on understanding it, and most importantly, practice consistently. Avoid information overload.

What mindset should a student have to succeed in the digital space?

A growth and abundance mindset—willingness to learn, patience to grow, discipline to stay consistent, and the courage to take action.
