Kenya has many budding writers that our dailies and magazines cannot absorb them in the future. It is certain that most young eager minds won’t wait for editors to keep telling them: ‘I am sorry, right now it is not possible for you to join our team of writers.’
We also have many people with a potential of coming up with sale-able products be it traditional new or used books, digital products like ebooks or MP3 music. But there lies the problem of reaching a wide base of potential buyers.
Most Kenyans think that getting a website – an online store for their products is hard. Plus they fear having heard from lots of people that managing websites or blogs is hard. Yes it is – I have never seen success where something did not prove to be hard at the beginning. You just have to learn to cope with such.
Similarly a blog may be a good avenue for a budding poet, journalist or anyone to share his articles, poems and any other invaluable information with others. Having a blog may prove worthwhile.
I just wanted you to know that we have web designers and hosts, here in Kenya, that may offer you the website you’ve ever wished for – either to sell your products or share information with others, or both. Some of them include DeepAfrica – with a good package starting from Kshs. 2950, Sasahost – at around 2500. DeepAfrica hosts my blog – www.philosmudis.com.
Other players include PeaknDale, Swiftweb Technologies, among others.
Apart from DeepAfrica which hosts my blog, I can assure you that Swiftweb also has good packages for anyone who want to own a website or blog – plus it offers flexible payment options. It is you to choose. If you are planning to receive mobile payment (M-Pesa and Zap) for your products, you might try Intrepid’s payment system too.
You might follow these links and settle on the design and host company of your choice.
