Tips to buying a laptop

Buying a laptop is not as easy as you may think. You may buy a box take it home and assume that you have a laptop. I always advice my clients about the following:

  • Always research and then refine you search. For example are you looking for chrome books, Ultra books, 2 in 1 laptops, General laptops, gaming laptops? This also helps you know what you expect to pay.
  • If your pocket allows, always go for new laptops and check whether the laptops actually new.
  • Specifications, specifications and specifications. Think about the RAM, RAM, processors etc. This tells you how powerful a laptop is.
  • Check the battery life. It is the battery life that makes a laptop one. Otherwise if the battery is dying in minutes why even bother buying one?
  • Buy from reputable dealers. Personally I would prefer buying from a physical shop. There are reputable online shops such as laptops best""“>Amazon or Jumia that sell laptops. But there are some items I cannot buy online.

Conclusion

Which are the best laptops for you to buy in Kenya in 2020? If you are looking for cheap laptops, then the General laptops will the best for you. Ultra books are usually thin and stylish but they are pretty expensive.

On the other hand, Chrome books that run on Chrome OS can be a good option and are not that expensive. Gaming laptops in the other hand can cost you between Ksh 80000 to Ksh. 300000. There are also hybrid laptops that also work as tablets.

Whatever you feel suits you, go for it.

6 Fast Moving Products On Jumia and Other Online Shops

0

There are products that move fast on Jumia but there are those products that move very fast. Hi, there buddy and I am glad you are reading this blog post.

This is the first blog post of 2020 and am glad that you are here reading it. By the way, happy New Year and I hope you have a prosperous one too.

So, what are your resolutions this year?

I know you have made some or you are putting some on paper, coming up with a list of things to do in 2020. One of my 2019 resolutions was to begin a blog and make passive income out of it. I needed to make some extra cash. This gave birth to the blog you are seeing here. I do not regret ever stating. Though the experience has been tough, it has been equally rewarding. If you can write a few post a week and have a have a topic that interest you, you too can begin a blog in 2020 and make passive income out of it.

If you have luck in selling stuff, then why not learn how to sell online in Kenya or learn how to sell on Jumia Kenya?

Truth be told, most off our resolutions for the year 2020 will be to make extra coins and maybe, just maybe have a second stream of income.

That is why today I bringing you products that you can sell on Jumia. Moreover, I am not just bringing you any products; I am bringing you products that move very fast on Jumia Kenya.

You can learn how to sell on Jumia, if you do not know how to do it. If Jumia is not your thing, then you can sell these same products on any online platform and make a large profit.

Products That Will Move Fast on Jumia and Other Online Platforms in 2020

Phones

Show me anyone who does not own a phone and I tell you that they are either babies or live in another world of their own. Even jailbirds have phones in there.

Kenya has the largest mobile penetration in Kenya. Coupled by having a very large youth population, mobile phones (read smartphones) are a hot product.

Smartphones that have a price tag between Ksh. 10000.00 and Ksh.30000.00 often do well on on Jumia and other e-commerce platforms. Personally, I do not stay with a phone for more than 6 months. I will always want to have the latest gadget available. Though some other electronics move fast too, you cannot compare them with phones.

Just ask yourself, how often do you replace your TV, fridge or even a music player? Phones depreciate very fast and the need by people especially youth to move with the current trends will often lead to huge purchases.

TVs

Do not get me worry here. Did I say that TVs? Yes. Though I said earlier that TVs are not often replaced a lot, a research conducted earlier last year shows that TVs are the second fastest moving products online.

Old sets of TV are being replace with by digital TVs (those that come with an in build decoder). Moreover these TVs are presentable and very portable. Still on things TVs, we have the smart TVs. With homes being connected to Internet, Smart TVs are the in thing of 2020. One of the fast moving products on Jumia.

Laptops

Laptops are fast becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. More and more people are choosing to work from home. More and more people are choosing to study from home and many more want to have all their documents (business or otherwise) be stored on a laptop.

You cannot go wrong with this one.

You only have to be a trustworthy dealer and offer after sell services to buyers and of course sell quality products.  

Tablets

One advantage tablets have over laptops is that they aren’t too bulky, neither are they too small as phones. Tablets come in between laptops and phones.

People will always look for devices that are lightweight but with bigger screens. That is where tablets come in.

Again, quality is key here. Selling substandard products will hurt your market and indeed eat into your revenue. As is often said, customer is King.

Hi-Fi Systems

At fourth position is the Hi-Fi system.  And am not talking of expensive systems. Research shows that Hi-Fi system with a price range of KSh.3000.00 to Ksh. 20000.00 are some of the products that are moving very fast on Jumia and other online platform.

Cameras

Did the smartphones kill the camera? The answer is partly yes and partly no. If you want to get some serious images then the smartphone cameras are no march to what traditional cameras can do. And numbers do not lie, Cameras are among the fast moving online in Kenya today.

Conclusion

There are other moving products on Jumia such as women clothing’s, women shoes and baby products. However, dealing with such often has its own challenges. Most often people don’t get the size right leading to returns.

With the 5 products listed above, you cannot go wrong.

Buscar Online Booking; All You Need To Know.

0

Buscar Online booking is something that I began investigating during the 2019 December Holiday. You see, I have been getting many calls from people who wanted to travel but had not secured a seat on any bus.

During the end year celebrations, Kenyans like salmon bent on breeding, will anyways want to travel home for the holidays. Moreover, in all directions they will want to leave the major cities back to their roots.

If you are visiting this site for the first time, then it may be comforting to know that there are other bus companies at your disposal. However, this depends largely on your destination.

Before we delve deeper into Buscar online booking, you may want to consider;

You can also read about Madaraka Express(train booking) booking, especially if are heading to the coast, this is a good option.

Buscar online booking; a step-by-step guide.

If you have made your mind that you want to book a seat on Buscar and you want to do it online, then I have bad news for you. Their online booking portal does not work.  The best bet is to go to their offices physically. I tried their online booking portal located at here (you will need to follow the link) but I could not manage to secure a seat. You too can try it out and see for yourself.

You have one last shot though if you really want to do it online, try iabiri.com that is if you are lucky.

Office locations and Contacts

Now that you know that the booking portal is as good as dead, you have only one option, to go to their offices.

You can find their offices located at these places below.

Nairobi- Their offices are at the junction of Accra road and Charles Rubia Road (do not confuse with Charles Rubia Lane). In case you are lost, it is within the same area the other bus companies such as Dreamline and Modern Coast have their offices just after River road. In fact, Buscar offices are directly opposite Modern Coast Offices across Accra Road.

Cell: 0718 127 350

There are offices also in

  • Mombasa, Cell: 0717 073 333.
  • Nakuru, Cell: 0725 909 031, 0719 680 853.
  • Kisumu
  • Kampala
  • Busia.

Destinations

To what destinations does Buscar plier? Here is a list of town and cities the bus operates to.  

  • Malindi
  • Mtwapa
  • Mombasa
  • Kilifi
  • Voi
  • Nairobi
  • Nakuru
  • Bumula
  • Eldoret
  • Busia.
  • Luanda
  • Kisumu
  • Mayueni
  • Timboni
  • Kanduyi
  • Webuye
  • Kampala

Fares

My effort to get fares to destinations did not yield any results. However, my guess is that their fares are within other bus companies such as modern Coast and Dreamline bus companies.

Conclusion

Buscar is a bus company that is like a beautiful maiden who does not understand herself. Though they have some of the beautiful buses on the Kenyan roads, with very good safety records, very little can be found online about them. I stumbled on two websites that seem to be pointing to the company, however I could not tell which among them is the genuine one. Even so, both websites have very little information.

That said, it only seems that booking Buscar online is not an option. All you have to do is literally go to their offices above and book a seat physically. Moreover, most of the reviews I found were positive. However, I found this one that maybe is a reflection of the company.

This is from a Facebook user Bonnie Bundi Blessed. He says,

” I have been trying to book online entire day but not working. I have already paid for the seat. Check mpesa code NC90EAF0EM. Nrb to kla, 5:00 pm bus.’’

Maybe you get a picture of what I am talking about.

If you have ever traveled on Buscar, what has been your online booking experience been like? How are the buses? How was the journey?

I would be glad to hear your story so that I can share with other travelers. If you do not want to share it here, go to ‘Contact Us’ page and get in touch with me directly.

If you found your ticket, safe journey!
