With the advance in technology and how easily accessible the Internet is, the evolution of online entrepreneurship has significantly increased where we have been exposed to different online platforms and freelancing websites such as Fiverr, upwork which allows individuals to be able to showcase their skills and services to clients all around the world.
The rising online market

The year 2020 turned out to be the breakout season for the online market as the world battled with the COVID-19 pandemic which took almost the year, causing offices and businesses to adapt to an online- first approach.

The social distancing measures taken led to an abrupt increase in demand for digital products and services, opening the door of opportunities for online entrepreneurs.

Online income-making skills like blogging, affiliate marketing, digital content creation and virtual assistance took over the regular jobs where you have to go out everyday instead, you can work at the comfort of your home with just your laptop and smartphone.

Also, online platforms mentioned earlier like Amazon, Etsy and Shopify became an online marketplace where you showcase your products and services to any part of the world without having a physical walk-in store.

However,

As interesting as the online market sounds, it has its own disadvantages amidst the benefits.

The digital workspace has grown to be very competitive with the increase in population and to be able to excel, it requires patience, creativity and perseverance.

For newcomers trying to find their way around the workspace, it can be challenging while trying to understand how the online market works, the skills involved and also finding clients to offer their product or services to.

Looking at the brighter side, the concept of making money online has continuously attracted people from all over the world.

YouTube has been a wonderful place of acquiring knowledge and skills one can offer in the online marketplace. Someone with the willingness to learn, patience to undergo the process and implement the knowledge can actually excel in the online world through the use of YouTube.


In conclusion,making money online, is the next big thing?

Well, while making money online holds immense potential, it can only be possible for those minds who are brave enough and willing to work on this path to success. One can't say the journey would be a smooth one because it holds its own challenges but the rewards are limitless.

Do you have what it takes to go on this journey and seize the opportunity to be ranked at the top  along with those who have dated to dream big and make their mark on the world? Then enroll for  online courses, visit YouTube, follow experienced freelancers in your preferred niche and take your place in the online world.

Introduction: SDGs Are Closer Than You Think


The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are often seen as global policies far removed from daily life. But the truth is, everyday actions have the power to drive measurable impact. From the way we commute to how we shop, eat, and work, every decision can either support or hinder progress toward a sustainable, equitable world.

Platforms like WazoPlus are helping bridge this gap by turning knowledge into actionable steps that anyone can implement.


Step 1: Sustainable Consumption & Energy


Practical Actions:

  • Reduce energy use at home: turn off lights and unplug devices when not in use. (SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy).
  • Choose locally-produced goods and ethical brands to reduce carbon footprint. (SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production).
  • Support circular economy initiatives: recycle, upcycle, and donate unused items.

Why it matters: Small changes in consumption patterns collectively reduce emissions, create demand for sustainable products, and encourage corporate responsibility.


Step 2: Safe & Conscious Transport


Practical Actions:

  • Walk, cycle, or use public transport whenever possible. (SDG 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities)
  • Support safe driving practices: advocate for licensed drivers and vehicle safety checks. (SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing)
  • Carpool or share rides to reduce traffic congestion and emissions.

Why it matters: Safer, greener transportation prevents accidents, reduces environmental impact, and promotes healthier communities.


Step 3: Ethical Work & Fair Practices


Practical Actions:

  • Treat domestic workers, colleagues, and service providers with fairness and respect. (SDG 5: Gender Equality + SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth)
  • Support small businesses and local entrepreneurs.
  • Volunteer or mentor in your community to transfer skills and knowledge.

Why it matters: Fair treatment, inclusion, and support for local enterprise drive community resilience and economic growth.



Step 4: Community Engagement & Advocacy


Practical Actions:

  • Participate in community cleanups or sustainability initiatives. (SDG 13: Climate Action + SDG 11)
  • Advocate for local policies that protect health, education, and equality.
  • Share knowledge online: amplify actionable content like WazoPlus guides.(Read them if not familiar with them in the LTWE Newsletter.)

Why it matters: Informed, engaged citizens become drivers of systemic change, turning abstract goals into tangible results.


Case Study: Rwanda in Action


In Rwanda, local communities are already leading by example:

  • Neighborhood recycling programs reduce waste while creating jobs.
  • Youth-led tech startups teach sustainable practices through apps and workshops.
  • Community transport cooperatives ensure safer, greener, and affordable mobility.

These are real-world applications of the SDGs, showing that local action drives global impact.


Looking Ahead: Make the SDGs Your Daily Practice


Every choice you make from what you buy, how you move, how you work, and how you engage,has the potential to contribute to a sustainable, equitable future. By turning insight into action, citizens everywhere can make SDGs not just a policy framework, but a lived reality.


Call to Action:


Start today: pick one small action from this guide and implement it this week. 

Share your results with your community and inspire others.

Remember: Global change starts locally. Every empowered citizen is a spark.

"Is AI About to Take Over Your Writing Job?" - the thought that plagues our nightmares.


With AI tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, and SurferSEO, content creation has become accessible to all.


These tools make it easier than ever to generate blog posts, write SEO-friendly headlines, and even match a brand's tone with just a few prompts.


But with all this power at our fingertips, it begs the question: If AI can write, what’s left for human writers?


Is this the end of human creativity, or the beginning of a new collaboration between humans and machines?


Let’s get into the tea👇


The Rise of AI in Content Creation.


AI is changing the way we approach content creation. Tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, and SurferSEO are being used for tasks like:

  • Drafting blogs
  • Writing emails
  • Generating product descriptions
  • Optimizing SEO content

With these tools, businesses can speed up the content creation process and lower costs.


But while they’re a blessing for businesses, what does this mean for us - the traditional writers?


How AI Can Help Writers.


The key is not replacement, but working alongside AI.


Think of it as having unlimited content ideas and a 24/7 assistant.


With AI tools you have access to:

  • Speed: AI can pump out content quickly, helping you produce more in less time.
  • Cost-effectiveness: With AI, companies can save money by reducing the need for large teams of writers. Meaning with it, you can take on more jobs and earn more money.
  • SEO Content: AI optimizes content perfectly for search engines, making it more likely to perform well.
  • 24/7 Availability: AI doesn’t sleep and neither do we. Lol. Meaning we always have an assistant with us.

But as great as these benefits are, AI has its limits.


The Limitations: Why AI Can’t Fully Replace Human Writers.


There are some areas where AI falls short (thank God, lol because these AI benefits are many).

  • Emotional Intelligence and Brand Voice: AI can mimic a tone, but it can’t replicate the emotion of a brand’s unique voice.
  • Creativity and Storytelling: AI may be able to string words together, but it’s still lacking the creativity needed for compelling storytelling.
  • Audience Targeting: AI can analyze data, but it doesn’t have the ability to understand a specific audience’s needs and desires like a human does.
  • Originality: AI-generated content can sometimes feel recycled, lacking the originality that a human writer can bring to the table.


Should Writers Be Worried?


Well, yes: Writers who ignore AI might find themselves left behind as the technology continues to evolve. And it is evolving FAST!


No: Writers who see AI as a tool to improve can thrive. AI isn’t here to replace humans; it’s here to work alongside us. Helping us be more productive and get that money.


How Writers Can Future-Proof Their Work (With AI).


To stay relevant in the writing space, even with AI, writers should:

  • Learn how to prompt AI: You see this, don’t play with it. Take your time to learn all the tricks and prompts so you can get the best out of AI.
  • Shift from writer to strategist: Evolve into content strategists and AI editors, by auditing AI-generated content to ensure it aligns with a brand's voice.
  • Focus on what humans do best: There’s no replacing us in creativity, empathy, and emotional connection. We will always be needed for storytelling and brand-building. Let's key into that.
  • Combine AI with SEO: Writers who understand SEO and can use AI to enhance their content, will create more optimized content.


So, dear writers,
AI isn’t something to fear; it’s something to embrace.


Instead of thinking of it as a competitor, we should see it as a partner.


Look at the future of content creation as humans + machines, not humans vs. machines.


By using AI as a tool, we can become more efficient, creative, and bag more jobs.

Wrote a blog post and called it a day?


You're leaving so much potential on the table.


Content is hard to create. It takes time, energy, research, and sometimes a battle with imposter syndrome.


But the real trick to making the best out of your content? Squeezing the absolute most out of what you already made.


If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to come up with fresh ideas for every platform; I’ve got good news. You don’t have to.


Let’s talk about how you can turn one solid blog post into 10 different pieces of content that work across Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, your email list, and more.


No fluff. Just practical ways to work smarter, not harder.


Let’s get into it👇


HOW TO REPURPOSE YOUR BLOG POST.


1. Into Instagram Carousel or LinkedIn Slides.


Pull out key points from your blog post and turn them into bite-sized and scroll-stopping short texts.

  • Think “mini blog post” but more visual.
  • Each slide can highlight a tip, stat, or insight.
  • End with a CTA like “Read the full blog” or “Save for later.”

Bonus tip: Carousels and slides on Instagram & LinkedIn, are great for saves and shares.


2. Instagram Reel or TikTok Video.


Choose one strong idea from the blog. It could be a myth to bust, a powerful tip, or a quick breakdown. Then, film a 30–60 second video around it.

  • Keep it punchy and clear.
  • Use text overlays, visual hooks and trending sounds to boost reach.
  • Show your face if possible. There is something about talking videos that people connect  with more.
  • You don’t need to be a pro. People love raw, relatable content.

Video content builds trust and boosts visibility across algorithms.


3. Quote Graphic.


Pick a standout line or powerful takeaway from your blog and turn it into a branded graphic.

  • This works well for inspirational, insightful, or controversial statements.
  • Use your brand colors and fonts.
  • Share it on Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and even your email header.

Super shareable and adds variety to your feed.


4. Wazoplus.


Here, you can reshare your blog posts, and repurpose them as short posts.

  • Use attention grabbing graphics
  • Start with a hook as well

Wazoplus pushes your articles and posts to an African audience that relates to your content.


5. Twitter (X) Thread.


Take your blog structure and turn it into a thread format:

  • Start with a hook that sparks curiosity.
  • Break each main point into a tweet.
  • End with a CTA or link to the blog.

Twitter threads are a great way to establish thought leadership and start conversations.


6. Newsletter Snippet.


Use the intro or a top insight from your blog as a teaser in your newsletter.

  • Add a short personal note or quick takeaway.
  • Then invite your subscribers to read the full blog post.

This keeps your email list warm while boosting blog traffic.


7. Pinterest Pin.


Design a graphic with the blog post title or main idea and link it back to your blog.

  • Best for how-to or evergreen content.
  • Use bold text and compelling visuals.
  • Add SEO-friendly keywords in the pin description.

Pinterest isn’t just for recipes and weddings, it drives serious traffic.


8. Podcast Episode.


No time to record a polished episode? No problem. Just hit record and talk through your blog points.

  • Talk through the blog casually; like you’re explaining it to a friend.
  • Add personal stories or behind-the-scenes insights.
  • Upload it to your podcast, use it for social audio, or transcribe it into a new post.

People love audio because they can multitask while listening.


9. LinkedIn Text Post.


Take your blog idea and reframe it into a story or insight tailored to professionals.

  • Open with a relatable problem, a story, or relatable moment.
  • Share one or two key insights from the blog.
  • Keep it concise and valuable.

Perfect for growing your thought leadership on LinkedIn.


10. Content Upgrade or Freebie.


This is where the real magic happens. Turn your blog into a…

  • Checklist
  • Worksheet
  • Mini guide
  • Swipe file

Offer it as a freebie in exchange for an email address.
It’s a win-win: Your readers get value, and you grow your list.

  • Keep it simple and actionable.
  • Offer it as a lead magnet in exchange for emails.

Your blog becomes a gateway to deeper engagement.


11. Live Video or Webinar Topic.


Expand on your blog topic in a live session.

  • Share extra context, examples, or answer questions in real time.
  • It helps you build credibility and connect with your audience.
  • Record the live so you can chop it up for future reels, quotes, and blogs.

One live = weeks of new content potential.


Bonus Tips for Smart Content Repurposing

  • Think platform-first. Tailor each piece of content to the vibe and format of the platform it’s going on.
  • Plan it out. Use a content calendar or scheduler to spread the repurposed pieces over 2–3 weeks.
  • Double down on what works. Track engagement. If reels are winning, make more reels.

You don’t need more content ideas, you just need a smarter strategy.


One blog post can be 10 ways to stay visible and valuable.


And the best place to practice all these tips, Wazoplus - Africa's only social platform where content creators can shine.


Save this for your next blog post because your future self will thank you.

If you've never heard this phrase before, you're missing out on a lot of traffic


Sometimes when you write a piece of content, you get no likes, comments or shares.


Why?


📍Your content did not speak to any audience


It did not address any pain points, goals, or desires of your audience


You wrote about YOU. But in content writing, you're not writing about you.


You're writing about your ✨AUDIENCE✨


So, what are your audience's pain points?

Their struggles?

Their goals?


Write about what THEY want to read

That's how you connect and get engagement naturally


📌Speak to their challenges

📌Answer their questions

📌Provide value they can’t ignore

Because at the end of the day, the best content isn’t about you, it’s about them

Tired of sifting through vague online listings and questionable opportunities? Imagine a platform where your skills and location are your biggest assets, not limitations. That’s the promise of GetUrgent2k – a Nigerian gig marketplace designed to connect you with real, verified tasks and help you earn real income.


Picture this: A university student in Abuja effortlessly earns extra cash by sharing their opinions on a new video game. A retired teacher in Port Harcourt leverages their shopping savvy to make money as a mystery shopper. And in Lagos, a talented videographer lands a high-paying gig for a local business, all thanks to a trusted platform that understands their needs. This is the power of a localized gig economy, and it’s exactly what GetUrgent2k is bringing to life.


The Problem: A Disconnect Between Opportunity and Trust

Nigeria’s digital landscape is buzzing with the desire to earn online. Every month, over 49,500 searches are made by Nigerians seeking ways to “make money online”. However, many existing platforms fall short. They offer generic tasks with little relevance to the Nigerian market, and concerns about scams and unreliable payments often overshadow the potential benefits.


The GetUrgent2k Solution: Where Trust and Opportunity Converge

1. Unwavering Verification: Building Trust in Every Transaction
Forget vague listings and unverified users. GetUrgent2k prioritizes your safety and peace of mind by meticulously vetting every single task and user on the platform.

Explore Vetted Gigs Now!

2. Hyperlocal Focus: Tapping into Nigeria’s Diverse Potential
GetUrgent2k understands that Nigeria’s strength lies in its diversity. That’s why the platform goes beyond generic listings to curate tasks that are hyper-relevant to specific regions. Whether it’s “Translation and Voice Over” gigs tailored for Lagos’ bustling creative scene or “Project Gaze” research opportunities available in Ibadan, GetUrgent2k ensures that your skills and location work to your advantage.

offers a helping hand during urgent financial needs, while transparent payment timelines and direct bank transfers guarantee you receive your hard-earned income on time, every time.

Success Stories: Real People, Real Earnings

The impact of GetUrgent2k is best reflected in the stories of its users:

  • A Lagos-based videographer used GetUrgent2k to secure a high-paying gig that earned him 200,000 NGN . He praises the platform’s user-friendly interface and straightforward process.
  • A Kano retiree successfully completed over 15 mystery shopping assignments within three months of joining GetUrgent2k, highlighting the platform’s flexible earning potential and stress-free experience.
  • A community administrator found a way to supplement their income by taking on localized tasks through GetUrgent2k, demonstrating the platform’s ability to empower individuals across diverse backgrounds and professions.

The Writer's block



"When the Words Disappear: How I Fought Writer’s Block and Won (Mostly)"

You sit down with a cup of coffee, crack your knuckles, and open a blank document. Your fingers hover over the keyboard, ready to create magic. And then… nothing. No words, no ideas, just a frustrating silence in your brain that feels like someone hit the mute button.

Hello, writer’s block. My old frenemy.😂😂

If you’ve ever been there (and I know you have because who hasn’t?), you know the unique cocktail of anxiety, frustration, and self-doubt it brings. It’s not just about struggling to write; it’s about questioning if you’re even capable of writing. Dramatic? Maybe. Real? Absolutely.

Here’s my story of grappling with writer’s block, complete with the tears, coffee overdoses, and small wins that eventually helped me find my words again.
Let's hit the road because this journey is about to get more interesting 😀


The Day It Hit Me

It was a Tuesday,rainy, cold, and perfect for writing. I had a deadline looming for an article I was sure I’d breeze through. I sat down, opened my laptop, and… stared at the blinking cursor. For hours.

No words. No ideas. Just this overwhelming feeling of "What if I’ve run out of things to say?"

I tried everything. Pacing the room. Making yet another cup of tea. Scrolling social media for “inspiration” (spoiler: bad idea). Nothing worked. By the end of the day, I had written exactly three sentences, all of which I hated.
And that was just the beginning.




Writer’s Block: The Emotional Rollercoaster

Let me tell you, writer’s block isn’t just a creative problem—it’s an emotional one. It’s like a bad breakup, where you suddenly can’t do the thing you love, and you start spiraling into "What’s wrong with me?" thoughts.

Here’s the emotional journey I went through, and maybe you’ll recognize yourself in some of it:

1. Frustration: "Why can’t I just write like I used to?"
I have deadlines,topics to develop, project to submit,I was not just having it.
Until my friend told me that I am dealing with something called a writer's block .


2. Self-Doubt: "Maybe I’m not a real writer after all."
During my experience,I felt as though I am no longer good at writing.
Maybe I am not a writer at all. I was just an imposter. It wasn't a good experience.


3. Procrastination: "If I reorganize my desk, the words will come. Right?"
It was as though I was hiding from writing. So I began to push my workload and not write.


4. Acceptance (kind of): "Okay, this is happening. Now what?"
I was almost beginning to accept my fate. And I was thinking of trying to get something else to do.
Funny right,😂 but that was what I experienced.






What I Tried (and What Actually Worked)
Over the years, I’ve tried every “cure” for writer’s block under the sun. Some worked. Some didn’t. Some made me laugh at how ridiculous they were.

Here’s what helped me get through the worst of it:


1. Let Yourself Write Absolute Trash

This one was hard for me. As a perfectionist, I want every sentence to be brilliant on the first try. But when you’re blocked, that kind of pressure is paralyzing.

One day, I gave myself permission to write the worst, most cringe-worthy sentences imaginable. I’m talking “It was a dark and stormy night”-level clichés. And guess what? It worked. Once I let go of the need to be perfect, the words started flowing.

Here is the Lesson: Sometimes, the only way out is through. Write badly. Write messily. Just write.


2. Switch Mediums

When typing felt impossible, I turned to pen and paper. There’s something about the physical act of writing that feels less intimidating. It’s like telling your brain, "Hey, this isn’t serious. We’re just playing around."

One time, I even bought a whiteboard and started brainstorming ideas with colorful markers. It looked like a five-year-old had taken over my office, but it made me smile, and it got me writing again.

Word on marble: If typing feels overwhelming, try doodling, mind-mapping, or even voice recording your thoughts.


3. Find Inspiration in the Everyday

During one particularly bad bout of writer’s block, I decided to stop forcing creativity and just… live. I went on long walks, people-watched at coffee shops, and even tried baking (terribly).

One day, while waiting in line at a bakery, I overheard a hilarious conversation between two strangers about the “perfect” sourdough. That snippet sparked an entire short story.

Moral of the story: Step away from your screen and let real life inspire you.


4. Talk to Other Creators

Here’s a secret: every writer, from bestselling authors to casual bloggers, has battled writer’s block. And when you talk to them, you realize you’re not alone.

I once reached out to a writer friend, practically crying, "I think I’m broken. I can’t write!" She laughed and said, "Oh, welcome to the club. We meet on Thursdays. Bring wine." That lighthearted conversation reminded me that this struggle is normal, not a sign of failure.

Pro Tip: Find a community of writers or creators who understand the struggle. Their support can be a lifeline.


5. Give Yourself Permission to Rest

This one was the hardest lesson for me. I’m the type who thinks, "If I just push harder, I’ll break through." But sometimes, the best thing you can do is stop pushing.

I took a week off writing,no deadlines, no pressure, no guilt. I spent that time reading books I loved, watching cheesy movies, and sleeping in. By the end of the week, I felt like a whole new person.

Reminder: Rest isn’t laziness. It’s fuel for your creativity.


The Breakthrough Moment

One day, after weeks of frustration, I sat down with zero expectations. I told myself, "Just write one sentence. That’s all."

And I did. Then another. And another.

Before I knew it, I had written an entire page. Was it brilliant? Nope. But it was progress. And that tiny spark of momentum was all I needed to keep going.


The Real Lesson

Writer’s block isn’t just about not having ideas—it’s about the fear of not being good enough. It’s about putting so much pressure on yourself that creativity feels impossible.

But here’s what I’ve learned: the words always come back. They might take their sweet time, but they’ll return. And when they do, you’ll appreciate them even more.


So, What’s the Takeaway?

If you’re in the middle of writer’s block right now, here’s what I want you to know:

You’re not alone. Every writer struggles with this.

You’re not “broken” or “failing.” You’re just human.

The words will come back,maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but they will.


In the meantime, be kind to yourself. Laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. And remember: even the best writers have stared at that blinking cursor and thought, "What now?"

The answer? You keep going. One word at a time.

“Another rejection. What’s the point anymore?”


That thought kept running through Peter’s mind as he sat on the edge of his bed and stared at the stack of resumes he’d sent out.


Weeks had turned into months of job searching with nothing to show for it.


He had tried everything; networking events, endless online applications, even walking into offices unannounced and hoping for a break. Nothing worked.


Peter was running out of money, and worse, out of hope.


The once vibrant and determined man was now avoiding friends and family, too embarrassed to admit how stuck he felt. “Maybe I need to leave Rwanda,” he thought bitterly.


One evening, while scrolling through his phone, he stumbled on a post about Kozi, an e-recruitment platform.


At first, he rolled his eyes. “Another job site? Great…” But something made him click.


Signing up was easy, and within days, things started to change.


Peter found job listings tailored to his skills—jobs he hadn’t seen anywhere else. And unlike before, the responses came quickly.


A week later, Peter landed an interview. A week after that? He got the job!


It wasn’t just any job; it was a role that reignited his confidence and gave him the stability he desperately needed.


Now, Peter’s mornings start with purpose.


He’s back to his old self—optimistic, driven, and proud of how far he’s come.

And it all started with that one late-night discovery.


Sometimes, life throws you a lifeline when you least expect it. For Peter, that lifeline was Kozi.


Kozi Part-time Jobs Available in Rwanda.

These are the services employers have voiced needs for:

  • Drivers

  • Babysitters

Duties (negotiable) but they are usually: taking care of the kids and feeding them.

  • Professional chefs

Duties (negotiable) but they are usually: cooking, new recipes, sharing diet/meal plans.

  • Housemaids

Duties (negotiable) but they are usually: laundry, cleaning, cooking and childcare.


How To Get a Part-time Job With Kozi.

  • Register on Kozi portal for free (free registration ends at the end of December).
  • Update your Bio.
  • Upload your passport.
  • Apply for jobs.

Peter’s story is proof that one opportunity can turn everything around. He went from endless rejections to landing a job that brought back his confidence—and it all started with Kozi.


Kozi is making it easier for people across Rwanda to find part-time jobs that fit their life.


With a few simple steps, you could be on your way to financial freedom and a fresh start.

When you allow yourself to feel and acknowledge your worries, irritations, painful memories, and other difficult thoughts and emotions, these often help them dissipate.



4. Time Management:

Time management strategies have been found to have a positive impact on stress reduction among students.


Several studies have shown that time management training programs decrease anxiety levels and increase perceived control of time, leading to lower stress levels.


Time management helps you to reduce long-term stress by giving you direction when you have too much work to do.


It puts you in control of where you are going and helps you to increase your productivity.



5. Journaling:

Writing down your thoughts and feelings helps release them, reducing the burden of carrying them around.


Journaling helps us process and make sense of emotions, which enables us to gain clarity and perspective.
