Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations
Anita Koske
English Language Teacher/Assistant @ Academie de Versailles
My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

Great reaction!!! Trust me when I say we live in a man's world where for some reason even at the top echelon, woman are scrutinized. I've personally decided to be at my best and in most cases ignore the unnecessary pressures that come with being a woman.
Developing a thick skin too helps in the sense that you don't take everything personally and remain authentic. Lastly, endeavour not to be a people pleasure because women are expected to always be fine with the rubbish that is thrown at them. I maintain my standards and work at being better and I break the rules for a living.
I don't know if this answers your question?

Hello Precious, You should explore Medium. It's a platform for writers. You can eventually start your own blog, but try and build consistency on medium and also get some inspiration and maybe start building a community. Don't ignore LinkedIn and Twitter.

To your first question, I believe they somewhat already have. If you look purely at the numbers, I believe they already lead the world in newly published AI research or are quite close to that. In my opinion, its because the K-12 education system is much more tech focused there, and until the US competes at that level of education as well (which seems somewhat unlikely, considering the state of public education in the US government), we will surely be not just outpaced, but completely dominated in the next few decades. Also at the doctoral level at many Ivy+ schools, almost half of PhDs in tech come from international students, so you can draw whatever conclusions you'd like from that.To your second question, none of them. They will likely purchase another company doing such h things. One thing that we have to realize is that cutting-edge B2C AI generally doesn't usually make money in short term timelines. Companies that do often end up being unicorns or acquired by one. If you were to take a look at how FAANG companies make the majority of their money, I would bet a lot of money that its not the jaw dropping consumer AI systems. From the B2B sense, however, probably Amazon, as they dominate the B2B computing market already.The third question: hard work rarely yields personal financial success. This may be a jaded opinion, but the majority of wealth made in the US isn't made by the hard work of the person who benefits. The most profound book that I've read in the past year is a book of poetry, called the sun and her flowers, by Rupi Kaur. For me, poetry helps me find solace and meaning, and speaks when I cannot come up with words myself. Lastly, the startup that excites me the most is the one I'm working on in secret.

Thank you so much Tobi for that question and thanks for this great work and platform.Yes, I agree with those current challenges you highlighted. And like you shared, this sums it up "The system also is very porous." My two cents will be that;1. Regulatory bodies should synergise and stop the blame-game, hate-strife rivalries.There's a lot of home-keeping to be done there.For example, imagine a CORBON, COREN, ESVARBON, TOPREC, ARCON... working together in harmony? Imagine how that will positively influence the construction industry;Imagine swift registration of professionals and massive public enlightenment on the value/worth of professional services;Imagine a well-regulated curriculum with 21st-century realities in each of the professional fields?Also is the need for2. Regulation of the Informal sectors in the Construction IndustrySkilled trades and vocations such as carpentry, tiling, ironmongery, etc need lots of support and regulation so society values their worth and they are also well remunerated. Imagine a regulatory body for tilers and then a tiler upon training is certified with code of conduct, ethics etc as it obtains for the professional fields. That's part of the difference between the 1st world and the 3rd world, all fields and skilled trades are well regulated, monitored and rewarded whether it's SSCE, OND, HND, BSc/BEng/BTech/MSc/PhD a person has.Until we come to the point where we see the services of each one as 'complementation' and not 'competition,' the challenges may persist. A tiler is as valuable and good as a Lawyer although one is a vocation/skilled trade and the other, a profession. I shared more on this in my book the career leader, talking about the career model. The audiobook is accessible here https://selar.co/thecareerleader

Hi Nathaniel, First things first, Google is your friend. Find useful resources online, there's a lot of useful material on LinkedIn as well. Take courses, depending on what it is, you may be able to find free courses. Find people in the space you're looking for to mentor you. Also remember, a lot of skills are transferrable, so look for ways you can change gears with the skills you have gained previously and use it to ad value to your new career.

Hi Daniel, I think for this you just need to put yourself out there. Write more, put your writing online, on Medium, LinkedIn, even Twitter. Work towards becoming a contributor on platforms that are aligned with your style of writing. Build the right connections by going to writers workshops, interacting with the right people online, etc. Also, it sounds random, but make it clear you are a writer, use your bios wisely. At the end of the day, you want people to search your name and see your writing skills.

I must say this is a very relevant and interesting topic. Celebrity endorsement, especially in the days of social media will continue to play a huge role in business management and marketing communications.From a research perspective, you might want to understand1. The type of brands that are more likely to use celebrity endorsement - banks, telecom or gambling company?2. What type of advertising appeal are being adopted? Are they emotional appeal or rational appeal?3. What type of celebrity do we have endorsing products? This can be cross tabulated with point 1.4. What are consumers attitude towards celebrity endorsement? Is it a norm or people are tired of it?5. Speaking with Brand Managers, what are their challenges in selecting and working with celebrity influencers?

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question, but I think you're asking if there are some apps that you should not use in marketing. I think snapchat is a very useful tool, especially when you are trying to reach the younger demographic, understanding that the app is made for you to share short, memorable and effective messaging that people can get in the first few seconds. If Snapchat didn't have an effective model, then the likes of Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn would not have incorporated stories. However, because there is such a huge crossover in terms of people using multiple platforms now, it's probably best to focus on the ones that will yield you the best results depending on what your objectives are.
