Bid2load.com user activity declines and what next

Since the re-launch of the website, user activity on the website has declined as a result of the stricter measures introduced on 9th March 2009. Before the posting of empty trucks and available loads was open to all without any verification done.

However that created a fertile ground for fly-by-night operators who abused the service, as they would post fake trade leads and the non-payment of transporters became a daily occurrence. Now all users of the website are verified and posting of trade leads is charged at R100 per month without a limit per user.

Travelwires.com undergoes a revamp

It’s been a while since the blog has received a new look layout and revised logo. Though still keeping the same colours. The revamp is mainly divided into three aspects:

Featured Posts
There are four weekly columns that make the blog, contributed by different bloggers. Currently such posts are posted on the top page for an entire day, after which new content replaces them, thus dropping down the page as new copy is published.

Get out of the boardroom ‘Nigeria This Week’

As a viewer of CNBC Africa’s business feature, I enjoy learning more about the business community within the continent. The ‘East Africa Business Report’ is properly packaged, giving us viewers more into business activities in Kenya, where they feature entrepreneurs in their business premises which  relates better to me.

However with ‘Nigeria This Week’ its all about government meetings nothing else. I want to see more of the Nigerian entrepreneurs and none of the typical government officials in endless meetings, which as a viewer (in South Africa) does not benefit me at all. As an aspirant entrepreneur I want to learn how my counterparts in Nigeria do things compared to me…and not see week after week government officials in meetings.

Paypal is not the only payment option on earth

As a South African based online publisher, am not allowed by Paypal to receive funds through their facility, though I pay for services and products daily using their facility. There are numerous affiliate programs which I cannot join since their only payment option is through Paypal. For how long will Africans be excluded from receiving funds through Paypal?

Am amazed as to why do all the affiliate marketers limit their payment options to only paypal when cheques are still a form of payment in Africa? Google has been smart enough to still offer cheque payment option which enables myself to be part of the adsense program.

Thank you for nothing Paypal.

Am AlreadyInspired to take care of a new blog

Working on a new blog to be called AlreadyInspired.com which will be driven by myself. As the domain name (and already secured) suggests, it’ll be a blog on already established entrepreneurs where I’ll be profiling them. They’ll be sharing their road to success and give inspiration to up and coming entrepreneurs.

This blog will not be specific to any particular industry/sector but exclusively cater for entrepreneurs above the age of 30, who have made their mark in business. There are loads of unsung business leaders who would inspire another crop of entrepreneurs through them sharing their ways of doing business.
