‘A walk in the technology world, Blessed twice’ compiled by Aini



It’s that time again, whereby I could say; I’m blessed again to receive such a wonderful opportunity from the Namibian Business Innovation Centre. It all started a year ago, with the social media training, and this year I had the same lucky to join and be trained as an Online Marketing consultant.
On the first day of training, 29th January 2013, Mustafa Mor of NBIC introduced us to a topic of online marketing…….what it is? And what you need to be able to execute the tasks as an online consultant for any company, big or small.
Mr. Mor said and I quote “your online marketing goal depends on the campaign you‘re working on, and/or product of that company, and what you want to offer to companies”.
During the training, I had an opportunity to gain extra knowledge about presentation skills as presented by Mr. Mufaro Nesongano. When presenting, you need to find an image that suits you best, and to build good will with your audience. In that time, you need to inform and persuade your clients in buying your offer especially when following the six tips below;
·         Body language
·         Announce “This is important”
·         Pause, just before and after
·         Make the audience laugh just before
·         Look your audience in the eye, not too obvious
·         Smile and relax
·         Tell a  story
Its then I realized I too lack this; I become nervous and get stage flight when presenting. But like the saying goes, never give up and always have a vision in life.

Second training day, 30th January 2013, I learned how search engine works, thanks to my facilitator Mr. Mor.
 I learned that the search engine rank keywords as to how many times people/ users search for them on the internet, which was actually amazing because that never closed my mind but I ask myself, how does the computer and internet work? It’s pretty fascinating to learn about this.
