Jinsi ya kutengeneza pesa kwa simu yako

Jinsi ya kutengeneza pesa kwa simu yako

Dar es Salaam. Umewahi kufikiria kuwa simu yako inaweza kukutajirisha kwa kuingiza fedha nyingi, endapo utaitumia kwa usahihi mtandaoni?

Eva Damba, mkazi wa Iringa anasema kwa siku huingiza kati ya Sh50,000 hadi Sh90,000 kwa kufanya biashara mtandaoni kupitia mtandao wa WhatsApp bila kukutana na mteja. Shukrani anazitoa kwa mapinduzi ya teknolojia yaliyoleta simu janja.

“Simu yangu naifanya kama duka kwa sababu bidhaa zote ninazouza nazi-post kwenye ‘status’ (WhatsApp) na wateja nawapata huko. Nimeanza biashara hii tangu nilipomaliza chuo mwaka 2021 na kwa siku naweza kupata Sh50,000 hadi Sh90,000, inategemea na idadi ya wateja,” anasema Eva.

Hata hivyo, wakati Eva akisema hayo, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Swahili Digital, Gillsant Mlaseko anasema bado mwitikio ni mdogo miongoni mwa Watanzania kutumia fursa hiyo.

“Kuna haja ya ushirikiano kati ya Serikali, sekta binafsi, na taasisi za elimu ili kuhakikisha Tanzania inafaidika na fursa zinazotolewa na uchumi wa kidijitali, tofauti na ilivyo sasa,” anasema.

Pamoja na hayo, kwa vyovyote  iwavyo, fursa hizo zinaongezeka kwa kuwa watumiaji wa intaneti nchini nao wanaongezeka kila mwaka, kwa mujibu wa takwimu za robo mwaka unaoishia Machi 2024 za Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano Tanzania (TCRA).

“Idadi ya laini za intaneti inazidi kuongezeka mwaka hadi mwaka. Machi 2021 zilikuwepo laini milioni 29.1, zikaongezeka hadi milioni 29.9 Machi 2022, zimeongezeka tena kufikia milioni 33.1 Machi 2023, kabla ya kupanda na kufikia milioni 36.8 kwa robo mwaka iliyoishia Machi 2024,” inaeleza sehemu ya ripoti hiyo.

Njia za kuingiza fedha

Mbali na WhatsApp ambayo hutumika zaidi na wafanyabiashara wengi wa mitandaoni, mdau wa uchumi wa kidijitali, Christa Mandu amezitaja programu nyingine maarufu zilizopo mtandaoni ambazo amesema ukijisajili unaweza kuuza bidhaa mbalimbali kwa kuwa ‘mtu wa kati’ na kulipwa kamisheni kwa kadri ya mauzo yako.

“Zipo programu za wauzaji washirika ambao unawasaidia kutafuta masoko, hiyo mimi naifanya, mfano, Shopify, Amazon na eBay ambazo zinakuruhusu kuuza bidhaa na kupata kamisheni kwa kila uuzaji unaofanywa kupitia akaunti yako, ambayo utakuwa umejisajili,” anasema.

Mandu anasema ili uingize fedha kwa kuuza bidhaa katika programu hizo lazima uzingatie uhitaji wa eneo lako.

“Ili uanze uuzaji wa ushirika (affiliated marketing), zingatia kutafuta bidhaa zinazolingana na kuendana na wateja wako katika nchi yako au eneo unaloishi,” anasema.

Anasema kwa wenye vipaji na wasanii wanaweza kuuza maudhui waliyoyatengeneza kwa simu katika majukwaa mbalimbali ya kimataifa na kuwaingizia kipato.

“Kama wewe una kipaji labda cha uchoraji au uandishi kuna mfumo mmoja unaitwa ‘Patreon’ ambao watayarishaji wa maudhui wanauza kazi zao nzuri kwa wateja wanaokutanishwa nao mtandaoni na mfumo huo,” anasema.

Kuhusu majukwaa ya kuuza bidhaa mtandaoni, Mlaseko anasema kwa Tanzania kuna: Inalipa, JiJi na Kupatana, ambayo yote unaweza kufanya biashara mtandao.

Pia anasema, “kuna fursa za kufanya kazi kama wafanyakazi huru (Freelancer) kwenye majukwaa kama Upwork, Fiverr na Freelancer.com, ambako unaweza kuuza ujuzi katika uandishi, ubunifu, uhandisi wa programu, na zaidi.”

Fursa nyingine ya kuingiza fedha kupitia mtandao au simu yako, Mlaseko anasema ni ama waandishi, wapigapicha au watayarishaji wa video wanaweza kuuza kazi zao katika majukwaa ya Shutterstock au iStock.

Wakati wadau hao wakitaja mbinu hizo, tovuti ya teknolojia ya ‘Medium’ iliyoanzishwa mwaka 1997 kwa mujibu wa ‘wayback machine’ imeonyesha fursa ya kujifunza ujuzi mpya kupitia masomo ya muda mfupi, ambayo yanasaidia katika kufanya biashara za mtandaoni za kimataifa.

“Elimu ya mtandaoni imekuwa maarufu zaidi miaka 10 iliyopita, na kutoa njia rahisi kwa watu kujifunza ujuzi mpya au kuboresha ujuzi uliopo. Mifumo ya elimu ya kielektroniki kama vile Coursera au Udemy hutoa kozi mbalimbali, lakini pia unaweza kufundisha kwa njia ya mtandao ukiwa umekidhi vigezo na unaweza kuingiza fedha,” inaeleza tovuti hiyo.

Afrika, Tanzania bado

Wakati uchumi wa dunia ukishika kasi kidijitali, hali ni tofauti katika nchi zilizo kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara.

Kulingana na utafiti uliofanywa na Shirikisho la Kampuni za Simu (GSMA) ulioitwa Mobile Economy 2023,  asilimia 25 tu ya wanaomiliki simu janja wameunganishwa na intaneti.

Matokeo ya utafiti huo yanaungwa mkono na Mlaseko, anayetaja vikwazo vya maendeleo ya uchumi wa kidijitali Tanzania, kuwa ni pamoja na upatikanaji finyu wa mtandao.

“Miongoni mwa changamoto za kuingia katika uchumi wa kidijitali Tanzania ni pamoja na upatikanaji mdogo wa mtandao, gharama kubwa ya huduma za intaneti, miundombinu duni ya Tehama, na ukosefu wa elimu ya kutosha katika eneo hilo,” anasema Mlaseko.

Kwa upande wake, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Sahara Venture, Jumanne Mtambalike anashauri ili kuendana na uchumi wa kidijitali ni lazima sera za nchi zibadilike na kuwa rafiki, pia uwekezaji zaidi ufanyike katika miundombinu ya Tehama, ikiwamo katika mkongo wa Taifa.

Kuhusu changamoto hizo, Waziri wa Habari, Mawasiliano na Teknolojia ya Habari, Nape Nnauye akisoma bajeti ya wizara hiyo ya mwaka 2023/2024 alisema Serikali inatekeleza mradi wa kuiongezea uwezo minara ya mawasiliano ili kuongeza kasi ya intaneti.

“Serikali imeendelea kutekeleza mradi wa kuiongezea uwezo minara (upgrade) inayotumia teknolojia ya 2G pekee ili iweze kutoa pia huduma ya intaneti kwa kiwango cha 3G na 4G na kuwawezesha wananchi kupata huduma za kidijitali. Hadi Aprili, 2023 minara 227 imeongezwa uwezo huo,” alisema.

“Serikali pia inakamilisha kufanya upembuzi yakinifu kwa ajili ya biashara mtandao, itakayosaidia kupata taarifa za watumiaji wa biashara mtandao nchini na uratibu wa biashara husika,” alisema Waziri Nape.

Kwa mujibu wa takwimu za Benki ya Dunia (WB), mpaka kufikia mwaka 2030, asilimia 30 ya pato la dunia litakuwa linachangiwa na uchumi wa kidijitali ambao simu na intaneti ni miongoni mwa vifaa vinavyouchagiza.

Tanzania: Exim to Raise Fund for Mental Health Facilities Upgrades

Tanzania: Exim to Raise Fund for Mental Health Facilities Upgrades

EXIM Bank to raise 300m/- over the next three years for financing essential services and infrastructure upgrades in mental health facilities.

The bank’s Head of Marketing and Communications Stanley Kafu unveiled this when introducing Exim Bima Festival 2024 as a platform for bringing together individuals, organisations and various sectors for raising the funds.

“Exim’s initiative aligns with the government’s broader goals to ensure that every citizen has access to quality healthcare, including mental health services,” he said.

The initiative, which is one of the events for celebrating the bank’s 27th anniversary is scheduled for Wednesday this week in Dar es Salaam.

Mr Kafu highlights that this year’s festival is not only about raising awareness of the importance of insurance in the society but also focuses on enhancing access to mental health services and improving the overall well-being of the nation.

Statistics from the Ministry of Health shows a staggering 82 per cent increase in mental health cases over the past decade.

Mental cases have risen from 386,358 in 2012 to 2,102,726 in 2021, making the need for mental health services more urgent than ever.

Unfortunately, the country’s ability to address this growing challenge is hindered by a shortage of mental health professionals, infrastructure, medical equipment and essential medication.

For example, out of the 28 regions in the country, only five have facilities that provide adequate mental health services.

The most affected group is the youth aged 15 to 39, who represent the nation’s workforce, underscoring the need for intensified efforts to safeguard this generation for Tanzania’s future well-being and development.

Mr Kafu said by improving mental health services, Exim aims to contribute to the creation of a network of communities that can access care quickly and affordably.

Exim Insurance Department Manager Tike Mwakyoma said they are appreciating the support from partners in the insurance industry, who have stood by them since the last festival.

“Let’s continue this unity for the development of all Tanzanians and our nation as a whole,” the manager said.
