The Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 is now available in Kenya effective Saturday, 6th June after being available for Pre-order. You will remember that it is almost a week since the phone was officially announced to consumers.
The phone is now available in most retail stores across Kenya, Jumia, Masoko

I wrote more about this phone here and you can find more specifications there. That said, Huawei has continued to defy the storm from Uncle Sam and released several devices to the market.
Even with President Trump relaxing the ban, the future seemingly looks
uncertain. You and I know that Huawei has been producing some of the best
devises in the market giving Samsung and Apple a run for their money.
During the pre-order period, over 15000 pre-orders were made, a sign that
customers have a trust in the company.
Something positive to note is that the phone comes with all Google services, and necessary Google apps installed. It still has Facebook pre-installed, and Huawei continues to assure customers that the devices will continue to receive updates.
We are yet to see how customers are going to take Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 in Kenya. Though all signs show that it is a device that will sell.
Pricing
The phone is selling at Ksh 24,999.00 on Jumia(Buy for less here) and you can get it at a cheaper price if you are lucky to have a voucher especially during this anniversary. If you don’t like Jumia, then you can try out Masoko or Huawei own branded shops nearest to you.

sensor units.
The cameras are AI-powered to shoot
stunning selfies, upgraded scene recognition to up to 22 categories and 500

Moreover, we expect to see the phone
on other online e-commerce platforms a such as Masoko and Kilimall.
Today we discuss untapped business ideas in Kenya that you can begin with little capital. Untapped because not so many people are giving these ideas the attention they require.
And truth be told, it is not easy to get a business idea that is not already saturated. The business ideas you could be thinking about, someone else is already implementing the them.
That’s why I am bringing you these untapped business ideas in Kenya to think about. It will be a lie if I told you that you won’t get competition. The truth is, these business ideas are not saturated therefore offering you an opportunity to bring you own unique ideas and if the business gods smile your way, you could be smiling your way to the bank.
With statistics putting more that 10 million youth currently
unemployed, business is the way to go and getting the right one could reduce
the mad rush for many a youth to seeking white-collar jobs.
Untapped Business Ideas in Kenya for You to try out.
1. Blogging
I know you may have heard about blogging. If not, you may
have heard about Mr. Robert Alai the famous blogger that is always in trouble.
If you have not heard about blogging, then is it the art of writing
about what people are looking for, when people consume this information, you
can make money off them.
If you do not know where to begin, here is a guide about starting a blog in Kenya. And the beauty about blogging is that you can do it at home at you own free time. All you will need is a computer that has internet access and if you have some basic typing skills, you are good to go.
But how do I make money blogging? You may be asking this
question. With a blog (a platform where you share you articles-what you are on
now is a blog) you can make money by,
Placing Ads such as Google AdSense, Medianet etc
Creating a membership site
Selling your own services
Promoting other people’s or Companies products( Affiliate Marketing)
I know of blogs that make up to Ksh. 1 million per month just doing these very same ideas. However before you dive in, ote that blogs take time to build. It could take you two years of serious work to see any results. Just like any other business, this is no rich scheme.
2. Mashroom Farming
Mashrooms are a delicacy sort by many hotels in Kenya and beyond.
It is one of the untapped business ideas in Kenya. This business has the high
returns and if you know what you doing, it is very easy to be successful.
If you have some knowledge in mushroom farming or if you are
willing to learn, then this is a business ideas you can go for. Unlike
blogging, you will need some space or farm to actually realize your dream.
3. Event and Party planning
As long as the earth and the heavens exist, we shall always
have weddings, funerals, birthday parties, graduations and other social events.
For those hoisting such events, planning and making sure that everything is goes on well can be very stressful. That’s when you come in. Assisting people plan such events can make you good money.
With about Ksh.100, 000.00, you can begin by marketing your services and once you are known, business with always come your way. Very few people can do this and impress their clients.
4. Tent Hiring and Catering Services
Social gathering such as funerals and wedding require that
tents and catering services be made available. You will agree with me that we don’t
keep tents in the house for such events. Moreover feeding hundreds or thousands
of people is no mean feat.
What if someone gave you the trouble to get tents and feed their guests? That when you realize you should have been offering these services.
However to be successful you will need some good capital to
purchase tents, plastic chairs, cutlery and off course wages for your workers.
5. SEO, Web and Link Building Business
Those who know the future will tell you that goods and
services will primarily be offered online. The traditional brick and mortar way
of doing things will soon be a thing of the past.
Every second, thousands of websites and blogs come up and to
be competitive and successful, these blogs and websites require SEO (Search
Engine Optimization) and link building services.
This one of the untapped business ideas on Kenya and the beauty
of it all is that you need less that Ksh. 40000.00 to start.
6. Professional Cleaning Services.
There is an increase in Kenya of a middle class that is not only lazy but has money to spend. Cleaning is one of those business ideas that people haven’t exploited.
What if you set-up a company that just does this? You go to people homes and clean them up.
A time is coming when as in developed countries, you will be able to leave a key with a professional cleaning company and find your home cleaned.
This market is waiting to be filled.
7. Growing and Selling of Chia-A top Untapped Business Idea in Kenya
Chia are edible seeds of a plant called Salvia Hispanica. This
plant is of the mint Family and a native of Central America. But this is Kenya
you ask. Salvia Hispanica grows well in Western Kenya and some North Rift
Counties such a Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzoia.
The crops takes three months to mature and you can easily
make a half a million after just a few months. A kilo of Chia Seeds currently
sells at Ksh. 2500 per kilogram.
If you are one one of those folks who do not believe agriculture is an old man’s job, try this.
8. Offering Baby Care Services
The reason why most couples will employ a house manager is that
there is a child in their lives. I have not seen a childless couple that does
have a house help.
However, some young families cannot afford the services of a
nanny. That is when the idea of a day care comes in. Most of these young
families have a busy schedule that will not allow them take care of there kids.
With some initial capital of Ksh. 10000, you can begin a day care. And most successful day cares turn into schools.
9. Garbage Collection
Forget those garbage collection guys that come in trucks
that are also garbage. Garbage collection in Kenya has collapsed and county governments
are struggling to offer this basic service.
You can walk around especially in high-end neighborhoods and offer to collect garbage at a fee. If you can afford a truck and offer something different, then you could be in for some good very good business.
10. Consulting
I have personally made good money just doing this by giving
advice on areas that I am just good. If you are good at a particular subject or
area, you can also teach others the skills they are looking for at a fee.
This could be students, business people or employees of a
particular organization. You stand a good chance of making money with this untapped
business idea in Kenya. Here you have two options, do it physically of offer
some online classes.
Conclusion
Going to school does not automatically get you employment. I
often tell my students that going to school only gives a head start against your
peers. Going to school equips you with the skills to solve life problems.
With these skills, you can looks at this list of untapped business ideas in Kenya and from it make a good living. In addition, I have never met a rich person that made it by carrying the 8.0am -5.00pm bucket (working). People make money from businesses.
If you have entrepreneurship skills, this is the direction
to take.

Jumia has slashed the Huawei Pro Price during the ongoing anniversary sale. Other phones too are selling at reduced prices.
The Huawei P30 Lite is one of the
phones that were launched in Kenya recently. Others are the P30 and P30 pro.
This phone packs good specs like a capable Kirin 710 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 1080p screen and a wide-angle camera. If you are looking for a good mid-range phone, this is one of the best in the market.

Now, Jumia P30 lite is selling at Kshs 22,999 down from Kshs 26,899,
which is a good deal for this kind of a phone. You won’t get a phone with 128GB
of internal storage in the market with that price. You can even buy it cheaply
if you have a voucher.
There are other sweet deals such as
Huawei Y7 Prime 2019 selling for Kshs16,299, which is down from Kshs 20,999.
The Huawei Band 3e is now retailing for Kshs 2,699 down from Kshs 3,200.

basically thousands of other deals you can enjoy. Moreover, flash sales go live
at 9.00am every day.
The Jumia Anniversary sell ends on 14th July 2019 and it’s a great time as a shopper to take advantage of these, as such sales come rarely.
Most bloggers have been finding it difficult to get Google AdSense approval in Kenya. What they do not want to do is put in the work that is needed into their blogs.
If you think you can cut and paste articles from some websites and download images and disregarded copyright rights of the owners, you are going nowhere with AdSense.
Good is like a god and has the best engineers in the world who are paid to just find out who is behaving badly. If you want you succeed online, then you must play by their rules, period. There is no short cut about that. No monkey business.
There are so many stories online about how to get AdSense approval in just three days…or some number of days. I am not here to show you how to get AdSense approval, rather how to move forward after approval.
If you looking for AdSense approval, I repeat, follow Google AdSense policies to the letter and your site will be approved.
If you want some help on this, get in touch with me.
A little experiment
While having tea with some friends that are bloggers, I
shocked them when I told them that I got approved with only 3 blog posts.
None of them could believe what I was telling them. Some of their blogs had been around for 2 years and had never had AdSense approval.
They thought I was joking until I showed them this site with ads showing. To prove how it was easy to get approval (as long as you play by Google’s rules), I begun another blog and after setting up everything, I wrote three blog posts and after a month, I applied google AdSense.
After three days, all that my friends were saying is damn
you…..I had been approved yet again! You see some of the things you read online
like having a 3 months site or having 20 blog posts on your blog is all
nonsense.
Google to me looks at two things; originality and whether your content adds value to your readers. If you stick to this, you will get your blog approved.
I have been approved for Google Adsense in Kenya, Now what?
Getting Google AdSense approval in Kenya does not mean you have made it. In fact, you are going to discover that it is one of the worst ways of monetizing your blog.
If you think of throwing up a few ads on your blog will make you rich, you are in for a rude shock. To make decent money through AdSense, you will need to drive thousands if not millions of visitors on your blog. If you aren’t, you may struggle to see your first penny.
You and me know that you really struggle to attract 100 visitors a day.
Besides, don’t be lied to. The money your blog gets from AdSense depends on the topics you are writing about. Some topics are not worthy your time no matter how cool you may think they are. I learnt this the hard way.
Whereas I got paid between €0.01 and €5.50 for my ads, I got used to this until one day wrote a post that took me a whole week and about a very difficult topic.
When I posted the blog post, I was shocked when one ad from the
post, paid me €40. That is a cool Ksh. 4500 for a single click.
I was so happy at the same time confused until I took a week and discovered that different topics have different cost per click(CPC). You can easily track this from your AdSense dashboard.
You will also need to experiment with different ads placement locations and ad sizes. In my case, I have discovered only one ad brings me 80% of my earnings.
It could be different with you. You may need to test several ads and locations to find what works better for you.
Moreover, if your site is not mobile friendly, you could be throwing money down the drain. I am often concerned about my mobile version of my site than the desktop version. Data from my google analytics shows that 90% of visitors to my blog do so through high-end mobile devices. In addition, my AdSense dashboard confirms the same, that 92% of my earning are driven by mobile phones.
Strive to make your site mobile friendly and if possible have your pages AMP enabled.
Laying the ground to get your first Google AdSense payments in Kenya
1. Confirm Your address to Receive AdSense Payments in Kenya
If the Google gods smile your way, you will begin seeing a few cents trickle into your account. All you need to do is be patient and write more blog posts. Do not be attempted to click on your own ads or ask people do so (this is one of the greatest AdSense sins that may cause you be banned from the program-if you are banned, you would better look for something else to do).
Once your earning reach €10, you will be required to confirmed your
address with a pin sent to the address you registered at your AdSense account.
It is important to use a functional address; otherwise, if you cannot confirm your address with this PIN, you are not getting any payments.
If you do not have a reliable Post Office Box, I recommend opening an Mpost. It is not only cheap, but reliable, you mail won’t go missing.
Choose your payment method.
Depending with the currency of your AdSense account, there is a threshold
you need to get to, to get your first payment.
Check your AdSense dashboard and see which currency you are receiving your payments in. These are the minimum payments for each of the currencies.
Currency
Minimum Payout
US
Dollars($)
100
Great Britain Pounds(£)
60
Japanese
Yen(¥)
8000
European
Euro(€)
70
Until you reach these thresholds, you cannot receive your payments.
Let me make you understand better.
Suppose you are paid in US dollars and you make $10 the first month, no payments come your way. If in the second month you make $30 such that at the end of that month you total is $40, you have not reached the minimum payout. Still your dream of a first paycheck is remains a dream.
It goes something of this sort.
Month

6TH
$60
$130
Payments of $130 made between 21st and 24th of the 7th Month.
I hope the table above gives a glimpse of what you should expect. You see, this is a no get rich scheme. To consistently $100 every month, you must be able to drive some good traffic to your site.
You will also note that payment made at the end of a particular month (if the threshold is reached) are paid between 21st and 24th of the following month. Therefore, it is like waiting for full month to get the payments for monies made the previous month.
In fact, as I was writing this post today ( 21th June 2019) , I just received a message from Google AdSense confirming that I can collect my payments at the nearest Western Union agent. This is for monies earned in May.
Now that you know this, it is time to choose your payment method.
Navigate to your AdSense dashboard, once there choose the ‘Payments’ Option. Click on the ‘ManagePayments Method’, then ‘Add
Payment Method’.
As you can see from there, there are three methods to choose from. You can either get payments by:
Bank wire transfer.
Check
Western Union
Choose what suits you. However, from experience, getting payment via Western Union is the most convenient and fastest of them all. I always withdraw the money from my local Western Union Agent within minutes of receiving my payments email.
Checks can take up to 2-4 weeks to arrive at your address then comes the trouble of depositing the same at your bank and having to wait even more.
Bank transfers take up to two weeks to clear. Moreover, you
have to have a bank account and pay some transaction fees.
With Western Union, you just need to have you ID card and
some information that Google AdSense sends you. All you need to do now is to walk into any
Western Union agent and collect all every cent you have been paid.
If I were you, I would go with the last option as my AdSense
payment in Kenya.
Conclusion
Displaying Ads such as Google AdSense in Kenya is a good way to monetize a blog especially if you are starting out. Other ways that you can monetize a blog include:
Promoting you own products.
Selling you own services.
Creating a membership site.
Though not the best way monetize a blog, proper implementation
of AdSense is less time consuming and can bring some good money with good traffic.
However if you want to earn some good money with little
traffic, there is only one method you can do so. Through……………

What exactly is a bank Code? I have been writing a lot about bank codes and many of my readers have been asking this very same question.
In this article I am going to explain what exactly
what a bank code is.
Bank codes are of two types:
The national ones, which differ from country to country(sort code in the UK, ABA routing code in the US, IFSC code in India etc.)
SWIFT code, which is used for international transfers. It is also called BIC (Bank International Code) and it is an international standard (BIC/ISO 9362).
In order to find a bank code, the safest way is to ask the recipient banks or to consult their websites; SWIFT codes can also be checked or found through specialized websites, such as this one: https://www.allbankswiftcodes.com/
Let us look deeper and see the
difference between these two kinds of bank codes.
1. National Bank Codes.
A bank Code (not to be confused with a Swift Code) is a code
assigned to banks by The Central Bank
or The Bankers Association or the
any Supervisory Organization. For
example in Kenya, The Central Bank of Kenya assigns codes to banks in Kenya. As
you can already see, KCB being one of the oldest banks in Kenya is assigned
code 01.
Off course, rules of assigning bank Codes differ from
country to country. In Kenya, banks ate assigned codes that are numerals
beginning with 01.
This rules as I said differ from country to country, thus,
code 01 in Uganda could be a code for a local bank.
If you are in a different country, you can ask this code at your
local bank.
2. Swift Codes.
On the other hand, A SWIFT code (sometimes also called a SWIFT number) is a
standard format for Business Identifier Codes (BIC). It’s used to identify
banks and financial institutions worldwide.
It says who and where they are — a sort of international bank code or ID.
These codes are used when transferring money between banks, in particular for
international wire transfers or SEPA payments. Banks also use these codes to
exchanging messages.
In most cases it looks like a shortened version of the Bank name. If you
look at the swift bank code for equity which is EQBLKENA, you can almost read the word Equity Bank Limited Kenya.

If you’ve been asking what a bank code is, then I know for sure you have an answer. It common knowledge that these bank has branches. Each of these branches have their own code, which again distinguishes them from other branches of the same bank.
Consider for example Co-operative Bank Of Kenya. We have seen that its Bank Code is 11. A Co-operative Bank of Kenya Branch will have a code in the form 11XXX, where 11 stands for the Co-operative Bank and XXX for the branch. See these co-operative bank codes for bank in Nairobi. It follows then that KCB Bank will have all its branches beginning with 01.
