Changing Africa by a Click with online Business sales

Thanks for reading my Blog post Last month, All views posts do not personally target any institute, government ,groups of people, unions ,organizations or country but just sharing views on IT transformation as a strategy to adapt to modern technology.

 I have travelled to some East African Countries and I always notice the rate at which companies are started is actually high but in the end most of these new small companies shut down at the same rate of establishment simply because of lack of proper business management policies, planning prior to start up with visionary goals, adapting Information Technology (IT) as part of their Businesses.

Let’s take farming in this forum as a business venture. For instance farmers having a strong union and running a free online sales forum at a Google blog like I have done using a Blog to share my IT experience and sold all their produce through a website online market. What returns would such a group of farmers have annually?

Most highly perishable goods are highly demanded on both local and international markets. Africa never gets a chance to benefit fully from such markets just because even a large number of educated farmers cannot even click a mouse button of a computer. Imagine farmer basic computer knowledge of browsing internet, sending an email. Checking an online Market for his/her produce in relation to the gain he/she expects.

All the standards we live and go through were once achieved by all developed countries and we as African must agree and adapt to the modern Technologies in various sectors. Really if we are to move from nothing to something the change begins with you.

Let our farming governing bodies through soft loans with support of national farmers union come into our support. East Africa has abundant resources to leave just like other countries. We talked of union but when is it effective. As our farming counterparts in the western countries move from e-Business, e-learning, e-marketing to e-governance, we have even failed to establish proper IT institutes now how will people learn.

Businesses collapse due to our own negligence, you see someone establish a shop (Boutiques) you copy and start up the same No! That is wrong. Try step one. hire a consultant or be friend that person get some ideas too, do feasibility study about the venture you are interested in then assess and check your capacity even pocket wise, Can Website Marketing work then invest into a business .

Do not rush into luxuries like weekend parties, Group Boozing ,Buying vehicles those are pocket money eaters without returns for instance have ever known how a car tyre wears out at every 360° in rotation or the gas /fuel used by a car then think twice.use public transport as you save .Ask revenue authorities if you can get tax holiday as most investors are actually give here in Africa. Always a wise starter with reinvest at least 50% of his profit from previous calendar year back to the business to re-create a multiplier factor.

Change Africa by a click through adapting to IT into your business.
