Made In Uganda Logo It is very true that on top of being one of the most beautiful nations on the globe, Uganda has also been picked as one of the most enterprising countries in the world for years now. There is no doubt that the pearl of Africa can become a top attraction as an investment and tourism destination but we have got a role to play to keep this nation in the eyes of the global market. The first time I heard about Made In Uganda I did not give it much attention just like many of you haven’t but overtime I have come to agree that one of the reasons countries like China, Switzerland, France and the US are known globally is because of the things that they sell to the world ranging from Agricultural products, Entertainment inform of Music, Movies and Sports), Electronics etc. Uganda is a developing industrial hub with both small scale and large scale producers whose products are most times sold within the country and some abroad however these products and service...

New UOT President - AIGP Asan Kasingye  As the outgoing UOT President and Vice President prepare to hand over office to the newly democratically elected leadership, it is important to know something about the real beginning of UOT leadership ideas. Three years ago, with a group of friends who shared a deep passion for Twitter as a platform agreed that there was need for us to create points that would always bring us together as individuals using Twitter to drive conversations about personal brands, business brands and social economic issues affecting our communities. In 2017 I agreed to become the first President of UOT after deeply thinking about the benefits of having someone uniting us as Ugandans on social media. My term as UOT president did not come easy as many people did not understand why Ugandans on Twitter needed leadership and as such many people still spent a lot of time on social media hyping foreign content trends on their timelines than discussing issues reg...

Over the 2nd last weekend of May 2019 I visited the western part of Uganda to meet up with other Ugandans using technology to do business and execute their day to day jobs under a social event dubbed Ugandans On Technology Night ( #UOTNightWesternUg). This event is a social networking event that brings together people doing business on digital platforms so as to enhance physical relationships and also to foster stronger networking between individuals doing different activities online. There is a truth that many of us know is real but we are being reluctant to believe that its not a passing fad, that truth is the Internet and how it's steadily affecting and changing every aspect of human life from the food we eat to the transport systems, communication and health research. Developing economies are spending more money into designing programs based on the internet so as to improve the economic and social status of their people although this is not a strategy that has been ado...

1. Self awareness is a very major key for everyone trying to venture out into influencer marketing. Knowing your capabilities, limits and passions will greatly help you deliver better results.  2. Build a community to ensure that you are not an island on the internet. Its very important to belong to a community online for easy networking and support for one another.

The best way to build this is by ensuring that you physically participate in networking events. 4.   Know what you are talking about, in other wards master you game. The reason why some people never become influential is because they speculate too much and leave their followers with no option apart from doubting them. Always know and understand the points of emph...
