Insights

An insight is simply a post you share on TwoCents. It's how the TwoCents community refers to content posted by members.

Every week on TwoCents, Africans from around the globe share their thoughts through insights on all works of life ranging from Career and Business to Politics, Relationships and Society.

TwoCents users who post insights on a regular basis are known as contributors. Being a contributor on TwoCents offers several benefits such as content monetization. Being a contributor by itself does not make a user eligible for earning on TwoCents. To earn, a user has to earn eligibility. Visit our FAQs page to learn more about earning eligibility.

Every contributor has 2 scores, a contributor score and an engagement score.

The contributor score is a metric indicating the engagement a user has received on their insights. This includes views, comments, upvotes, tips etc.

The contributor engagement score tracks how much a user engages with other user's content. Check out the top engagers on TwoCents here

Wall

Your Wall is a dedicated space on your profile designed to help you connect more deeply with your followers, readers, and listeners.

It lets you share wall posts, host AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions, and even manage your own store — all in one place.
Here's a list of the things you can do with and on your wall

1. Connect deeply with your audience

Build more meaningful connections with your existing readers, listeners, and followers on TwoCents. Let them see the person behind the content and engage with you on a more personal level.

2. Sell yourself and your story

Your Wall is more than a space — it's your personal stage. Use it to share your journey, your passions, and what drives you. Let your audience see why you are who you are, and why you do what you do.

3. Turn your appearances into conversations

Heading to a meeting, workshop, or conference as a speaker? Invite your audience to drop their questions here — turn your Wall into a live Ask Me Anything (AMA) hub for your community, mentees, and supporters.

4. An open space for real exchange

While we call it an AMA space, your Wall isn't just for questions. Sometimes, people simply have something to share with you — encouragement, reflections, or stories of how your work has inspired them.

5. Showcase and reward your supporters

With the upcoming Store, you'll be able to showcase your merchandise and offer special discounts to your most engaged users — those who read, listen, and support you the most.

TenQuestions

TenQuestions offers you Q&A Sessions with smart Africans across all works of life.

A session consists of two parts, an interview section and a question section.

The interview part has 10 interview questions with the person being hosted.The purpose of the interview is to get you familiarized with the person being hosted, and to help you begin to formulate the question you might want to ask this person. The interview part becomes accessible once a session opens.

The question section is where questions asked in a particular session reside - questions are ordered in descending order of answer requests. Answer requests are a way of showing the community's interest in a particular question; the more answer requests a question has, the more likely it is to get answered by the person being hosted.

Questions can be asked between a sessions opening date and closing date - and only one question is permitted per user. Once a question has been answered, it can't be edited or removed from a session.

Session Sponsorships provides businesses/brands with the chance to showcase their products or services. Only users with active accounts can sponsor sessions.

Generate AI audio for your listeners

On TwoCents, you may post audio and text content.

For text content, you also have the option of adding audio by uploading audio files you create yourself or by generating AI audio.

This alows users who prefer audio to listen rather than read your content.

The AI voices are currently western-style voices — we will provide African-style voices very soon.

Add cover images with AI

When publishing content, you have the option of adding your own cover photos or generating one with AI.

The story of TwoCents began in March 2018.

At the time, we had a simple idea: create a platform where people could share knowledge, opinions, experiences, and stories, while connecting with others through meaningful conversations. Like many startups, we launched knowing there was a lot we did not know. We had questions about the product, the market, our users, and even our place in the world. Would people find value in what we were building? Were we solving the right problem? Had we built enough to test our assumptions?

For nearly two years, the first version of TwoCents helped us answer those questions. We learned from every user, every conversation, every success, and every mistake. Most importantly, we learned what people truly wanted from a platform built around ideas and authentic human expression.

Then came a period of silence.

For a time, there was no active version of the product. Behind the scenes, however, we continued thinking, learning, and refining our vision. We took everything we had learned from the first version and began building something better.

In 2021, TwoCents returned.

The second version of the platform went live with a clearer focus and a stronger foundation. We were no longer simply testing an idea; we were building a community designed for thoughtful conversations, meaningful content, and genuine human connection.

In 2022, we launched the TwoCents feed, making it easier for users to discover content and connect with one another. Around this time, our community began to grow steadily—not just in Nigeria, but among Africans living and working across the world. What started as a small platform was gradually becoming a growing network of voices, perspectives, and experiences.

In 2024, we introduced some of our most significant features yet. Users gained the ability to receive tips and subscriptions, creating new ways for creators to be rewarded for their work. We launched CareerHub, introduced Dark Mode, enabled audio posts through both user uploads and AI-generated narration, and continued improving the overall experience for our community.

Then came 2025—our strongest year yet.

We saw significant growth across schools and university campuses, helping introduce a new generation of users to TwoCents. We launched our Progressive Web App (PWA), making the platform feel more like a native mobile application. We introduced Points-to-Coupons, Referral Earnings, Monthly Community Prizes, leaderboards and rankings, and began laying the foundations for a stronger creator and contributor ecosystem. Beyond the product itself, we invested heavily in building a genuine community around TwoCents. The year concluded with our first-ever End-of-Year Awards, celebrating some of the people who had helped shape the culture and growth of the platform.

In 2026, we continued building on that momentum. We organized more competitions than ever before, including our first essay competition. We launched Contributor Points and began bringing together our various reward systems into a more unified and compelling creator economy—one designed to reward creators, contributors, and community builders alike.

Today, TwoCents is more than a platform. It is a growing community of people sharing ideas, helping one another, building careers, discovering opportunities, and contributing to conversations that matter.

Our journey is still only beginning.

Whether you're publishing content, asking questions, competing in a contest, building your reputation, supporting creators, or simply sharing your perspective, there is a place for you here.

Because on TwoCents, your two cents counts.
