Habari kwa Digital Writers Tanzania. Sasa Unaweza kujipatia pesa kwa kuandika kwenye jukwaa la Medium. “We’ve added 77 countries to the Medium Partner Program” taarifa rasmi kutoka Medium ilisema mnamo August 6, 2024.
Kabla ya hapo, Tanzania haikuwemo miongoni mwa nchi ambazo writers waliweza kujipatia pesa kupitia makala zao kusomwa. In fact, hakukuwa na nchi hata moja ya Afrika.
Kama ilivyo kwa majukwaa mengine yanayolipa watengeneza maudhi, kuchelewa kwa Tanzania kuwa kwenye orodha ya Medium Parter Program ilitokana na shida ya njia ya malipo. Wanatumia Stripe kugawa malipo.
Mwezi Februari nilijaribu kujiunga nikaambiwa “You are located in a country that is not eligible for payouts.” Basi kwenye orodha hii mpya, Tanzania imo. Kazi kwako msaka maokoto mtandaoni.
Je Jukwaa la Medium ni Nini?
Mtandao wa Medium ni kama YouTube lakini kwa waandishi. Ni jukwaa la waandishi wa makala zinazohusu mada mbalimbali. Yaani unaweza kuandika chochote kwa ujuzi, uzoefu au maoni yako. Medium inakuwezesha kumiliki blog yako ambayo tayari ina wasomaji maana watumiaji wa jukwaa lile ni takribani milioni 100 kila mwezi.
Je Unalipwaje kwa Kandika Medium?
Kupitia Medium Partner Program, ukiandika makala yako ikapata engagement kama vile likes/claps, comments na activity zingine kama highlights, unaweza kujipatia kiasi fulani cha pesa (in dollars). Zikifika dollar 10, zitatumwa kwenye akaunti yako ya benki yoyote hapa Tanzania.
Masharti ya Kujiunga.
Ni lazima uwe mtumiaji wa Medium Pro, wenyewe wanaita kuwa Medium Member. Ni dola $5 kwa mwezi. Kama hauko tayari kutumia pesa ili upate pesa basi fursa hii si yako. Pia uwe umechapisha makala kwenye jukwaa hilo kwa kipindi cha ndani ya miezi 6 iliyopita. Hii maana yake: Unaweza kujiunga leo na ukaandika makala zako mbili au tatu hala ukaomba kujiunga kwenye programu ya kulipwa. Epuka kutumia AI kuandika makala zako, hiyo hawataki kabisa. Wanataka ubora na uhalisia.
Andika chochote unachokijua, uzoefu wa maisha au ujuzi wako kitaaluma. Hakuna masharti ya nini cha kuandika. Ila ushauri tu kwako Mtanzania, andika kwa Kiingereza ili usijifunge kuandikia Waswahili tu.
Congratulations on navigating through the bureaucratic maze! You’ve secured your spot with the Business Registrations and Licensing Agency (BRELA), the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), and have your City Municipal license in hand.
You’re now officially recognized by the authorities.
But here’s a thought: while you’ve checked all the regulatory boxes, have you considered the most crucial registration of all?
The Fourth Registration: Your Website
In the digital age, your business’s journey doesn’t end with government approvals. Here’s why your next step should be establishing a robust online presence:
Visibility Beyond Paperwork: The three authorities you’ve registered with ensure you’re legal, but they don’t guarantee you’re visible. A website is your business’s introduction to the world, where it matters most – in the eyes of your customers.
Customer Trust and Credibility:A well-designed website isn’t just a digital brochure; it’s a testament to your professionalism and commitment. Potential customers expect to find you online. If they can’t, they might question your legitimacy or simply move on to competitors who are digitally present.
Market Expansion: With a website, your business isn’t confined to local foot traffic or word of mouth. You’re accessible to anyone with an internet connection, expanding your market exponentially.
The New Business Card: In the digital era, your website URL is the new business card. It’s where customers go for more information, to contact you, or to make purchases. Without it, you’re missing out on direct engagement opportunities.
Why Most Businesses Overlook This Step
It’s easy to think that once the legalities are sorted, the business is ready. However, this mindset overlooks:
The Digital Shift: Consumer behavior has shifted online. People research products and services before making decisions. If your business isn’t there, you’re not part of their decision-making process.
Cost vs. Benefit: While there’s an initial cost to setting up a website, the return on investment in terms of visibility, credibility, and customer acquisition is immeasurable.
Your Next Move
Invest in Your Future: Think of your website as an investment, not an expense. It’s where your business lives online, working for you 24/7.
Choose Wisely: With Tanzlite Host, you’re not just getting a website; you’re gaining a digital partner. We specialize in crafting websites that not only look good but are optimized for search engines, ensuring you’re found when potential customers are looking.
Conclusion
You’ve done the hard work of getting your business registered with the authorities. Now, complete your registration in the eyes of your customers. A website isn’t just another step; it’s the final, crucial piece of your business identity.
Welcome to the digital world, where your business truly begins to thrive. With Tanzlite Host, your digital registration is just a step away.
Earlier this year, we introduced Tanzlite Host. This is not just another name in Tanzania’s web hosting services; we’re rewriting the rules.
Here’s how our unique approach to business is setting us apart and why it’s the most profitable model in the industry:
A Different Kind of Web Hosting Business
At Tanzlite Host, we’ve flipped the traditional model on its head:
Web Design First, Hosting Second: We’re fundamentally a web design agency that provides hosting. This means every website we host, we’ve likely designed. This approach ensures that we’re not just hosting your site; we’re invested in its success from conception.
Volume vs. Value: While many competitors chase volume, we focus on value. One corporate website project with us can be equivalent to years of hosting renewals. For instance, our corporate website packages start at Tsh 670,000, which matches the cost of our ESSENTIAL hosting package for 7 years. This model reduces the churn associated with constant sales efforts.
Why Our Approach is More Profitable:
Long-term Relationships: In Tanzania, where SMEs might not last long, our model ensures that even if a client doesn’t renew, they’ve already invested significantly in design and development. This reduces the pressure of constant new sales to maintain revenue.
Service Over Sales: Our business thrives on retainer services, one-time revamps, and additional features. This creates a more stable income stream than the volatile sales cycle of domain and hosting packages.
Exclusive Design-Hosting Bundle: We rarely allow clients to purchase just hosting from us if they’ve had their website designed elsewhere. This exclusivity ensures that our hosting service is tied to our design expertise, creating a symbiotic relationship where both services enhance each other’s value.
The Best Offer in Tanzania:
Understanding the financial challenges of starting a digital presence, Tanzlite Host offers an unbeatable deal:
Free Hosting and Domain for One Year: If you choose us to design your website, you get your hosting and domain for free for the first year. No other provider in Tanzania matches this offer. It’s our way of empowering you to start your digital journey without financial barriers.
Conclusion:
Tanzlite Host isn’t just about hosting; we’re about partnership, design, and empowerment. Our approach, focusing on design first and hosting second, not only aligns with the needs of Tanzanian businesses but also positions us as the most profitable model in the industry. Karibu!
Let’s talk in the language you understand: the bottom line. What is the financial impact of not having a website for your business?
In 2024 and beyond, where every click can translate into cash, your absence from the online world isn’t just a missed opportunity; it’s a tangible loss. Here’s how much you might be losing every day by not having a website:
The Value of Visibility
Imagine your business as a physical storefront in Kariakoo or Mlimani City. Now, think about how many potential customers walk by each day. Online, this scenario plays out on a much larger scale.
Here’s how it breaks down:
Organic Traffic: If your website were up, it could attract, say, 30-40 visitors daily from organic searches alone. That’s 30-40 potential customers who are actively looking for what you offer.
Monetizing Visits: Let’s assign a conservative value to these visitors. If each visitor is worth $1 to your business (and they often are worth much more), you’re looking at a daily potential revenue of $30-40. Over a month, that’s between $900 to $1,200. Annually, you’re talking about $10,800 to $14,400 in missed opportunities.
The Cost of Not Being Found
Search Engine Dominance: People are searching for your products or services right now. If they can’t find you, they’re finding your competitors. Each search is a chance for someone to become your customer, but without a website, you’re not in the race.
The Invisible Business: Consider this: if a business isn’t online, does it exist in the eyes of the modern consumer? Increasingly, the answer is no. You’re not just losing potential sales; you’re losing credibility.
The Fear of Investment
You might be thinking, “I can’t afford a website.” But let’s flip that:
The Cost of Inaction: Not having a website is far more expensive than the initial investment in creating one. The daily loss in potential revenue far outweighs the one-time cost of setting up.
Long-term Growth: A website isn’t just an expense; it’s an investment in your business’s future. It’s a tool that works for you 24/7, attracting customers while you sleep, eat, or work on other aspects of your business.
The Power of Digital Presence
Credibility and Trust: A professional website instills trust. Customers are more likely to do business with companies that have an online presence, seeing it as a sign of legitimacy and commitment.
Customer Engagement: Beyond sales, a website allows for engagement. You can share your story, your values, and your products in a way that builds a relationship with your audience.
Conclusion: The Time to Act is Now
Every day you delay in getting your business online, you’re essentially watching money walk out the door. Here’s what you need to do:
Invest in Your Future: A website is not just a digital brochure; it’s a revenue generator, a credibility booster, and a customer magnet.
Choose the Right Partner: With Tanzlite Host, you’re not just getting a website; you’re getting a partner in your digital journey. We understand the fears, the costs, and the benefits, and we’re here to make sure your online presence is as profitable as it can be.
Don’t let your business be the one that’s invisible. The cost of not having a website isn’t just theoretical; it’s real, it’s measurable, and it’s happening right now. With Tanzlite Host, you can turn those potential losses into gains. Your customers are waiting to find you.
NIKUULIZE SWALI: Unataka kuonekana au kuchukuliwa SERIOUS? Unataka kuonekana UNAJUA au uonekane beginner, mgeni na mshamba wa LinkedIn au mtandao wa X?
Kitabu changu kinakuhusu kama umekuwa ukijitahidi kupost na kucomment lakini hadhi ya jina lako bado DHAIFU na hauwezi kuuza.
Kinakuhusu pia wewe graduate uliyeenda kule LinkedIn na kuandika vitu kama:
Graduate student ❌
Seeking Opportunities ❌
Attended xxx University ❌
Looking For New Opportunities ❌
Jobseeker ❌
Degree holder in banking and finance ❌
Kinakuhusu na wewe uliyejiwekea UFINYU wa FURSA kwa kukomaa na X pekee wakati WAAJIRI na WATEJA serious wamejaa LinkedIn. Kwanini uweke mayai yako yote kwenye kapu moja?
Kwanini ni MUHIMU Kuwa na LinkedIn au X Profile BORA na Yenye KUELEWEKA?
Fikiria wewe ni striker. Umetoka na mpira katikati ya uwanja. Umepiga chenga mabeki wote na sasa niwewe na golikipa. Golikipa naye anakuja unamla tobo.
Watu washanyanyuka vitini. Sasa ni wewe kutia mpira nyavuni.
Unapiga mpira…Halafu…UNAKOSA!!!
Juhudi na chenga zote umeshindwa kumalizia!
Hivi ndivyo inavyokuwa ukiwa na LinkedIn profile mbovu, iko nusunusu au ina makosa ya wazi wazi. Utakuwa UNAKOSA watu wa kukutilia maanani.
Utakuwa unapost na kukocomment sawa, lakini mteja/mwajiri akija kuangalia Profile yako anakuta huna mkakati wa kumfanya achukue final decision ambayo ni kununua au kukuajiri.
Kuanzia Banner, Headline, Featured, About, Experience na Skills —yote hiyo ni mikakati ya umaliziaji. Usipoweka sawa maeneo haya, utakuwa unakosa magoli ya wazi kabisa.
Ugeni na ushamba wa jukwaa siyo sifa. Kama ilivyo kwenye sheria, kutokujua is a weak excuse. Badilika!
FAIDA 6 Za Kuwa Na Profile Inayoeleweka LinkedIn:
Inafanya watu wasikuchukulie poa.
Inakufanya upandishe bei ya huduma zako.
Inakimbiza wazinguaji na kukuletea watu walio serious kulipia huduma zako.
Inapunguza kujieleza sana maana inamaliza yote.
Profile inakutangaza masaa 24 hata ukiwa zako umelala.
Inalipa UZITO Jina lako.
Ni wachache sana wana Profile zinazowafanya wastahili kutazamwa mara mbili. Achilia mbali kukaa akilini na kufuatiliwa mara kwa mara na watu. Nataka uwe miongoni mwa hawa wachache.
🎯 I’m the most followed Tanzanian marketer on LinkedIn na huwa ninaona jinsi wabongo vile we sell ourselves shot kule. Hakuna mtu atakuja kukutonya juu ya haya niliyoyaweka bayana na kuyasahihisha kwenye Mwongozo huu.
Chukua Mwongozo huu UONDOE aibu ndogo ndogo na kubwa zinazoshusha hadhi yako kwenye hadhara ya wateja na waajiri.
Bei yake haitoshi hata kupata lunch pale mjini kati. Ni Tsh 14,900 tu.
