Attention: During the week starting 13th of November 2023, many people in Tanzania received WhatsApp messages from a foreign number. The person identified to be a representative of an agency from Tanzania.
Our agency, Tanzlite Digital was among the brand names these automated messages used. Some of the messages read:
My name is Ayanna, I am a Senior Representative Officer at Tanzlite Digital Marketing agency . Our company is recruiting part-time/full-time online employees, Our job is very simple, May I take a few minutes of your time? I would like to share a job offer for you.
FAKE!
Hello Hello I am Cynthia a Senior Representative of of Tanzlite Digital Ltd . Our company is hiring online employees for part-time. Can I share salary and job details?
FAKE!
And another similar message came from Vinza Masana
First of all, this is a PURE Scam. Just look at it yourself. It’s bullshit.
Let us reiterate what we posted on all of our social media channels:
First: There are no titles or hierarchical structures at Tanzlite Digital. If you receive a message that sounds corporatey, like some senior somebody from us —that’s NOT us. We don’t have Vinza Masana, Ayanna, or any representative with a foreign number.
Second: Tanzlite doesn’t reach out to anyone. People reach out to us.
Third: We single out talent from LinkedIn only. Not in your WhatsApp app.
Fourth: There’s no one in a foreign country with a foreign number representing us.
And lastly: You’re too smart to be scammed by this automated WhatsApp message. It’s the AI version of “Ile hela tuma kwenye namba hii.”
What should you do when you receive such a scam message?
Block and report that number to WhatsApp IMMEDIATELY. Don’t even waste time to reply because it is probably not a human on the other side. Just automated messages reaching you by guessing random numbers. They will probably come with a different name and company but, you have been warned.
Watu wengi wanalalamika biashara zao hazipati wateja mtandaoni pamoja na kwamba wanapost bidhaa zao Instagram, WhatsApp na kwenye majukwaa mengine ya digitali.
Wengine huanza kufikiri pengine kufungua website itasaidia kupata wateja kuliko kuwa na Instagram au WhatsApp pekee.
Wengine hudhani kununua akaunti yenye followers wengi basi itasaidia kupata wateja. Wanatafuta akaunti inayouzwa, yenye followers 10K au zaidi, wananunua. Lakini bado hawapati wateja. Na hata kile wanachokipost hakipati likes wala comments pamoja na kuwa na followers wote hao.
Hata matangazo ya kulipia (sponsored ads) hayawasaidii. Wanajikuta wanapoteza pesa tu.
Wengine wanawalipa “wataalamu” wa social media wanaojitangaza wanakuza akaunti na kuongeza followers. Followers kweli wanapata, lakini kuuza bado inabaki changamoto!
Hayo yote niliyoyataja hapo juu ni baadhi ya malalamiko tunayopata kila wiki kutoka kwa wajasiriamali wanaouza bidhaa mtandaoni.
Malalamiko haya pamoja na maswali mengine tunayapata kupitia kampuni yetu,Tanzlite Digital, inayosaidia wafanyabiashara kukuza biashara zao na kujipatia wateja kupitia majukwaa ya digitali.
Malalamiko ni mengi. Nitatumia makala hii kueleza ukweli kuhusu kupata wateja mtandaoni.
Nini Kinafanya Watu Wanunue Bidhaa yako Mtandaoni?
Zipo sababu kuu tatu zitakazokufanya uuze bidhaa mtandaoni:
Soko na Bidhaa yenyewe.
Jina lako mtandaoni (Watu wanakufahamu?)
Uwezo wako kushawishi kupitia Maudhui.
Ubora na Soko la Bidhaa Yako
Hapa naomba tuelewane. Kama kitu unachokiuza ni kile ambacho watu wanaweza kukipata kwa urahisi mtaani kwao —basi hutopata wateja mtandaoni.
Kwanini wanunue kwako wakati bidhaa hiyo hiyo inapatikana kwa mangi au na maduka mengine ya karibu?
Jiulize; unaweza kuuza soda mtandaoni? Au wembe au majani ya chai?
Kama kila mtu anauza kile unachotaka kukiuza mtandaoni basi inabidi uwe na OFA nzuri, au kuwe na ubunifu na namna ya uwasilishaji bidhaa yako kwa watu ili kujitofautisha na wengine. Vilevile ujenge mahusiano mazuri na wateja wako ili waendelee kurudi na kuwaambia wengine.
Lakini kwa bidhaa kama vile karanga, mchele, vitenge, na baadhi ya nguo —hizi zinapatikana kila mahali. Usishangae kuona hupati wateja mtandaoni.
Watu hawatafuti mtandaoni vitu ambavyo vinapatikana kila kona mtaani kwao.
Ili kupata wateja mtandaoni, bidhaa yako inatakiwa kuwa na upekee, ubora na soko lake liwe halijachuja (saturated) kwa kuwepo wa utitiri wa bidhaa hiyo kila mahali. Tofauti na hapo, ni bora ufungue duka mahali penye mzunguko mkubwa wa watu (foot traffic). Kama vile Kariakoo.
Mitandao inasaidia kufikisha bidhaa yako kwa watu wengi. Lakini kuuza inategemea na bidhaa yenyewe.
Jina Lako Mtandaoni (Brand Authority)
Kule Instagram wapo watu wanauza bidhaa za aina mbalimbali kama vile nguo, viatu, na electronics. Lakini yapo majina machache maarufu kama vile (kwa Tanzania) Vunja Bei, Frank Knows, David Sportwear, na kadhalika.
Hao na wengine wengi wenye waliojitengenezea jina mtandaoni wanapata wateja na kuuza bidhaa zao.
Unajua kwanini wanauza? Ni kwa sababu watu hupenda kununua kitu kutoka kwa mtu wanayemfahamu, au wamewahi kumsikia, au watu wengine wanamuongelea.
Je wewe umetengeneza jina? Hakuna mtu yuko tayari kukutumia pesa ikiwa hakufahamu, hajawahi kukusikia, wala haoni watu wengine wakikuongelea. Hapa watu kukuongelea maana yake angalau kuwe na comments kwenye post zako mtandaoni.
Naomba nitoe mfano. Kuna watu wanauza bidhaa za makampuni ya network marketing au MLM kama vile BF Suma na Forever Living.
Hawa watu wanashida kubwa. Kwanza kabisa wamepigwa pesa yao ambayo hawataweza kuirejesha kuuza bidhaa hizo. Pili wewe siyo daktari, siyo mtaalamu wa lishe, huna pharmacy, na huna zahanati. Isitoshe huna hata mtu mmoja uliyemponya kwa dawa zako. Dawa yenyewe unasema inatibu “magonjwa mbalimbali”. Kwa kifupi hauna authority ya kumshawishi mtu anunue bidhaa kutoka kwako.
Tatizo siyo bidhaa, tatizo ni nani anauza hiyo bidhaa.
Narudia tena; watu hawanunui bidhaa bali wananunua jina la mtu linalohusiana na bidhaa hiyo. Daktari akikuandikia dawa, unaenda kuinunua na kumeza si kwa sababu unaijua hiyo dawa (inaweza isiwe bora) bali kwa sababu unamwamini daktari.
Nikupe mfano mwingine, hivi majuzi tajiri Elon Musk alitangaza bidhaa mpya ya pefume. Ndani ya masaa machache aliweza kuuza chupa 10,000 kwa bei ya dola za kimarekani 100 kila chupa. Jamaa alitengeneza dola milioni moja ndani ya masaa tu.
Hiyo ndiyo nguvu ya kuwa na jina. Tengeneza jina kwanza halafu kuuza mtandaoni itakuwa rahisi.
Kutengeneza jina mtandaoni si kuwa maarufu (fame, celebrity). Ni kujenga taswira yenye kuaminika miongoni mwa watu unaowalenga.
Kumbuka, Kuwa na Jina Mtandaoni Siyo Umaarufu.
Hapo awali nimesema ili uuze mtandaoni lazima uwe na jina. Hapa simaanishi umaarufu (fame, celebrity). Hapana. Jambo la msingi ni kuhakikisha unatengeneza jina miongoni mwa watu unaowalenga kununua bidhaa yako. Si lazima Watanzania wote wakujue.
Kama watu 1000 wamekufollow baada ya kuona unachouza basi hilo ndilo jeshi lako. Kama wamekufollow kwa hiari maana yake wamevutiwa na unachokifanya. Endelea kuwapa maudhui bora (waelimishe, wachekeshe, wape mbinu za kutumia bidhaa yako n.k). Hao watu 1000 wanaweza kusambaza habari zako kwa wengine na hivyo ndivyo utakua na kujipatia jina.
Lengo ni kujiweka katika mazingira mazuri ya kuvutia wateja. Hakikisha profile inavutia, haina makosa au picha zisizo na ubora.
Hapa pia naomba nikazie jambo; kununua followers ni kupoteza pesa zako. Epuka mtu anayekwambia atakupatia followers.
Uwezo wa Kushawishi Wateja
Unaweza kuwa na bidhaa nzuri lakini ukashindwa kushawishi wanunuzi. Unaweza kuwa na dawa inayotibu kansa lakini watu wasiamini kwa sababu huna ushawishi.
Hii ni changamoto ya kushindwa kufahamu saikolojia ya mteja unayemlenga pamoja na kushindwa kuandaa maudhui (content) yenye mvuto na yenye kushawishi.
Jiulize; zile picha, video na maandishi unayopost mtandaoni yana nguvu ya kushawishi? Yana mvuto? Picha ni kali au ni low quality?
Yote hayo yanachangia kama watu watavutiwa na kukuamini au hawatavutiwa na kukutilia mashaka.
Kwa mfano tuseme unauza pazia. Badala ya kusema; OFA! Jipatie Mapazia Mazuri kwa Bei Nafuu. Tunapatikana Kariakoo.
Unaweza kusema; Pendezesha Nyumba Yako kwa Pazia Nzuri Ili Wageni Wakija Waone Kweli Wapo Ndani Ya Nyumba.
Wanawake hawanunui pazia bali wananunua UFAHARI wa kupendezesha nyumba. Wakienda kununua pazia swali wanalojiuliza kichwani ni “Pazia gani litapendeza ndani ya nyumba yangu?”.
Jaribu kucheza na saikolojia ya mteja unapoandaa maudhui ya kupost Instagram au popote unapopatia wateja. Onyesha Matokeo; nini mteja atapata akinunua bidhaa yako? Je atapata mwonekano mzuri? Je chumba chake kitapendeza?
Katika kuandaa maudhui, onyesha matokeo ya bidhaa. Usionyeshe bidhaa.
Badala ya kupiga picha mabaro ya vitenge dukani kwako, piga picha ya mwanamke aliyevaa kitenge na kupendekeza.
Badala ya kupiga picha mapazia uliyotundika dukani mwako, piga picha pazia zilizotundikwa ndani ya nyumba. Watu hujaribu kutengeza picha kichwani ya namna gani nguo itaonekana wakiivaa, au pazia litaonekanaje likiwa ndani ya nyumba. Usionyeshe tu bidhaa, onyesha matokeo.
Ukiwafahamu wateja wako vizuri, na bidhaa yako ikawa iko vizuri, basi hata yale matangazo ya kulipia yatazaa matunda. Vinginevyo utakuwa unachoma pesa.
Hitimisho: Ukweli Kuhusu Kupata Wateja Mtandaoni
Mitandao ni njia tu ya wewe kufikisha bidhaa yako kwa walengwa. Kuhusu kuuza au kutokuuza inatokana na sababu nyingi ikiwemo bidhaa yenyewe, soko, pamoja na uwezo wako wa kushawishi.
Kwa ujumla mitandao imerahisisha sana jinsi ya kufikia wanunuzi wa bidhaa za watu. Bila mitandao kama WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Tovuti na mingineyo, watu walio mbali wasingeweza kuona bodhaa yako na kuwasiliana nawewe.
Kila mtu anaweza kuuza chochote mtandaoni mathalani kitu hicho kina soko na muuzaji anaweza ku-supply hiyo bidhaa.

If you’re looking to be location independent and work remotely as a digital nomad, you may want to consider moving to an African city. According to a study by the World Economic Forum, Africa is the fastest growing region for digital nomads.
Emerging markets such as Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa have grown as leading destinations for professionals who want to telecommute or live as remote workers.
In fact, many companies have opened up offices in these countries because of their tremendous potential as emerging markets. The cost of living in most African cities is also far more affordable than in Western cities like New York City or London. These are the top five cities for digital nomads in Africa:
Nairobi, Kenya
The capital of Kenya is a great place for digital nomads because of its relatively low cost of living. You can live comfortably in Nairobi on around $1,000 a month, which is almost half of what you’d need to afford living in New York City. You’ll also find a great group of expat professionals in Nairobi, including many digital nomads. This is thanks to the city’s robust tech scene, which has produced some of the most innovative startups in Africa.
You’ll find many coworking spaces in Nairobi, where you can meet other remote workers and get some work done in person. If you want to try out different coworking spaces, you can consider becoming a member of the iHub, which is Kenya’s leading incubator and coworking space. Members have access to a wide range of services, including a digital health clinic and a research lab.
Another perk of living in Nairobi is that it’s extremely easy to take a weekend trip to nearby countries like Tanzania and Uganda. These countries are among the best in the world for long-term travel thanks to their low cost of living, friendly people, and beautiful landscapes.
Lagos, Nigeria
If you’re looking for a digital nomad hub in Africa, you should consider moving to Lagos, Nigeria. The cost of living in this city is relatively low, and the city has a robust expat scene with plenty of coworking spaces and co-living hubs.

Tema, Ghana
While most digital nomad hubs are in West Africa, you can also find great remote work and expat scenes in East Africa. Tema, Ghana is a great place for digital nomads who want to live in Africa’s most populous country. The cost of living in Tema is low, and the city has a vibrant expat community. You’ll find many great coworking spaces in Tema, including one that’s focused on women.

Casablanca, Morocco
If you’re interested in living in North Africa and want to be a digital nomad, you should consider moving to Casablanca, Morocco. This city is a major business hub in the Moroccan economy, which means that it has a robust remote work scene. You can also find a vibrant expat scene in Casablanca, where you can meet digital nomads from all over the world. You can attend meetups in Casablanca to meet other remote workers, or you can join online digital nomad groups to connect with other digital nomad friends.
If you want to find remote work in Casablanca, you can try job websites like Ex-Hub and Upwork. If you want to freelance, you can also find remote work on websites like Fiverr, Upwork, and Remote.co.

Kigali, Rwanda
Kigali is the best place for digital nomads because of its low cost of living and breathtakingly beautiful environment. If you’re looking for a digital nomad hub in Africa, consider the capital of Rwanda.
Conclusion
If you want to work remotely as a digital nomad, you may want to consider moving to Africa. Africa is the fastest growing region for digital nomads, and you’ll find plenty of opportunities in African cities like Nairobi, Lagos, Johannesburg, and Tema.
Kama huna jeshi la maroboti mtandaoni yanayo kufanyia kazi masaa 24, basi wewe haujaingia rasmi kwenye ulimwengu wa digitali. You are not digitally savvy enough.
Maroboti haya (bots) inaweza kuwa tovuti uliyoiandaa vyema kweye SEO kiasi inajionyesha kwa watu wakitafuta huduma unayotoa. Zana (tools) zinazokusaidia kufanya research, n.k. ChatGPT ni moja kati ya roboti za mtandaoni anayeweza kukusaidia kufanya mambo kibao.
Kabla hatujaenda mbali, naomba kuweka wazi jambo moja: ufanisi wa zana yoyote, iwe ChatGPT au jembe la mkono, unategemea na mtu anayoitumia zana hiyo. Hivyo wapo watakao faidika na ChatGPT na wengine hawatafaidika.
So ChatGPT ni nini?
Ni software/roboti mwenye uwezo kiufahamu na kufikiri unaofanana na binadamu (Artificial Intelligence). Unaweza kupiga naye stori mbalimbali.Anaweza kujibu swali lolote. Unaweza kumwambia akuandikie chochote kama vile insha, kutunga wimbo na mambo mengine kibao.
ChatGPT anaweza kukusaidia kwenye maswala ya kukuandaa maudhui. Kama huwa unaumiza kichwa juu ya nini cha kupost mtandaoni, basi umepata mkombozi.
Jinsi ya Kutumia ChatGPT
Ni rahisi sana. Ni kama vile unachat na mtu kwenye WhattsApp. ChatGPT anapatikana kwenye kifaa chochote, smatphone au laptop.
Hapo utaombwa ku-login au ku-sign up kama bado huna akaunti.
Baada ya hapo anza kwa kuuliza chochote. Kumbuka, japokuwa ChatGPT anaweza kuzungumza Kiswahili, yuko vizuri zaidi kwenye Kiingereza. Kwenye Kiswahili wewe unamzidi so usihangaike kuuliza maswali ya Kiswahili.
Kuandaa Maudhui na ChatGPT
Kama unapata shida juu ya nini cha kupost linkedin, twitter, au kwenye blog na kurasa zingine za website yako, basi ChatGPT atakuwa msaada mkubwa kwako. Inabidi uwe vizuri katika kumpa maelekezo ili akupatia kile unachotaka. Maelekezo mabovU maana yake utapata matokeo mabovu.
Tuseme wewe ni mtu wa Finance na una CPA yako vizuri tu. So unataka kuwa miongoni mwa watu wanaozungumza juu ya maswala ya finance. Lengo likiwa ni kutengeneza jina na pengina kujipatia fursa za ajira
Hebu tumuulize ChatGPT tupate pa kuanzia
What topic do finance people talk about on linkedin?
Haya sasa umeshapata mada za kuongelea. Unaweza kuchukua hizi mada na kuziandikia jambo mwenyewe unaweza kurudi tena kwa ChatGPT.
Tuchukue hicho kipengele cha tatu kwenye picha “Personal finance and financial planning” halafu tumwambie ChatGPT atengeneze linkedin post;
Hapa picha nimeikata alivyoandika huko chini. But you get the point.
Jinsi unavyo kuwa SPECIFIC kwenye maelezo ndivyo ChatGPT atakupatia majibu mazuri
Mfano wewe si mtu wa Finance tu aliye kwenye entry level career bali ni finance exacative mwenye lengo la kujenga thought leadership miongoni mwa wakurugenzi na young finance professionals. Basi unaweza kuwa SPECIFIC kwa kuuliza:
I am a finace executive who want to build thought leadership among senior executives and young finance professionals on LinkedIn. What topics or issues I should be talking about?
Au kama upo kwenye digital marketing, umejikita kwenye nini? Usimpe chart maswali ya mjumuisho. Kama upo kwenye SEO, au Copwriting basi uliza mwasali kwenye hizo topic na si mwaswali general digital marketing.
Kumbuka sio post za linkdine tu, unaweza kuandika chochote kupitia ChatGPT. Mfano kama unataka kuandika makala mpya kwenye blog yako utasema;
Write a 500 words blog article about 5 easiest online businesses to start in 2023.
Mfano wa kuwa SPECIFIC
Nilimuomba ChatGPT aniandikie maneno yenye kushawishi ili niweke kwenye landing page ya website yangu. Haya ndiyo maelekezo nilimpa:
I am a Copywriter and content strategist helping Business founders, C-suites, and Freelancers to build online audiences, engage with insights and build thought leadership.
I want you to create copy for my landing page.
The H1 title is this: Get what you want through mastering impactful delivery.
Tell them that I Coach them to communicate and engage with insights on social media. Equip them with the method and tools of impactful delivery.
They will then build authority and have the confidence to attract and convert clients.
Make an insist that everyone they see online is an expert in something. What they don’t have in common, which is something I will give them through my service, is that not all of them are good online communicators who can get what they want through the power of words.
Please address them directly. Use the pronoun you.
ChatGPT hakuwa mchoyo, aliniandikia hiki 👇🏼 ambacho siyo mbaya.
“Are you ready to take your online presence to the next level?
As a business founder, C-suite executive, or freelancer, you have the expertise and knowledge to make a real impact. But not everyone you see online is a master of impactful delivery.
That’s where I come in. As a copywriter and content strategist, I’ll coach you to communicate and engage with insights on social media. I’ll equip you with the methods and tools to deliver your message with power and persuasion. And with my guidance, you’ll build authority and confidence, attracting and converting clients with ease.
Don’t let your message fall flat. Master the art of impactful delivery with my coaching and see the results for yourself. Get what you want through mastering impactful delivery with me.”
Usisahau Kuhariri
Kama ulivyoona, kuna haja ya ku-edit alichoandika ChatGPT. Itabidi uongezee au kuondoa vitu. Hakikisha unasoma na kuona kama kilichoandikwa kina-make sense.
Kumbuka
Tumia ChatGPT kuongeza ufanisi kwenye kazi yako. Maana yake wewe mwenyewe tayari uko vizuri na si unakuwa tegemezi kwenye hiki kifaa.
Ubora wa matokeo utakayoyapata kutoka kwa ChatGPT unatokana na ubora wa maelezo utakayo mpatia kama. Kama lugha ya kiingereza inakusumbua basi utapata changamoto kutumia ChatGPT.

The 21st century is the African century. This is because Africa has the fastest growing population of youth, which makes it the youngest continent in the world. By 2050, over one-third of the global working-age population will be residing in Africa. That’s why many people view Africa as a potential gold mine for job opportunities.
But how can you take advantage of this trend? What are some of the best emerging career opportunities in Africa? Let’s find out!
Data Analysis and Data Science
There’s been a surge of interest in data science among African companies. Many African businesses are seeking to leverage data to improve performance. There are a few reasons why data science is crucial in Africa.
First, many African countries rely heavily on agriculture. With the increased adoption of technology in agriculture, farmers will need data scientists to help them integrate sensors and other technology into their operations. Data science is also important in African cities, which are rapidly growing. As urban areas expand, there’s a growing need for data scientists who can help city planners make smarter decisions.
3D Printing and Manufacturing
As Africa develops, new manufacturing industries will emerge. 3D printing is one technology that’s likely to grow in popularity. Many African entrepreneurs are using 3D printing to manufacture goods that they sell online and locally. Some of the goods being produced by African manufacturers include toys, fashion accessories, medical devices, and even houses.
As online shopping increases across Africa, industries like 3D printing will likely see an uptick in demand. If you’re looking for a career in manufacturing, it’s a good idea to get a handle on 3D printing technology.
Digital Marketing and e-Commerce
In the next decade, more Africans will access the internet on a regular basis than any other continent in the world. The number of internet users in Africa is expected to increase from 472 million in 2019 to over 1 billion by 2025. That’s why it’s a good idea to explore career options related to digital marketing and e-commerce.
These industries will likely experience significant growth in the coming years. If you’re interested in these types of careers, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the latest trends in digital marketing and e-commerce. You can find free online courses to help you learn more about these skills, or approach a marketing agency to learn and gain practical experience.
Development of Smart Cities
As Africa’s urban population increases, so will the demand for smart cities. A smart city uses a combination of sensors, data analytics, and technology to improve the efficiency and quality of life for residents.
Many African nations are beginning to implement smart city initiatives. If you’re interested in working in the urban planning and design industry, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with smart city initiatives in Africa. This will help you stay informed about the latest developments in the industry.
Robotics and Automation
Robotics and automation are expanding in Africa. As the economy grows, African businesses are increasingly investing in automation. This is because automation is a cost-effective and efficient way to improve business performance.
If you’re interested in a career related to robotics and automation, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the latest developments in this industry. You can do this by visiting robotics conferences and exhibitions.
Sustainable Mobility
As African cities develop and become more densely populated, they’ll need more sustainable transportation options. In many African cities, public transportation is not as effective as it could be, which is why many people rely on personal vehicles.
As cities become more crowded and traffic congestion becomes a growing problem, sustainable public transportation will become increasingly important. If you want to leverage career opportunities in sustainable mobility, you might consider working with the public transportation department in an African city.
Environment and Climate Change
Africa is experiencing serious environmental challenges, especially related to climate change. Many African countries experience significant droughts and flooding due to climate change. If you’re interested in a career related to the environment and climate change, you can find work in Africa. To learn more about how you can get involved in this type of work, visit websites like the United Nations Environment Programme or the African Union Environment.
Agritech and Food Supply Chain
As the population of Africa continues to grow, so will the demand for food. In many African countries, the food supply chain is not ideal. To meet the needs of a growing population, African businesses are investing in agritech and food supply chain solutions. If you’re interested in a career in agritech, you can find work in Africa. To learn more about how you can get involved in this type of work, visit websites like the Alliance for Food Security in Africa.
Conclusion
In the next decade, more Africans will have access to the internet than any other continent in the world. As the population of Africa grows, there will be an increased demand for new technologies and career opportunities.
It is a smart idea to pick a few skills among the merging ones so you can compete int the job market. Thank you for reading. Share this article a young African career aspirant.
