Eric Omondi cracks me up in this show.

Does OLX have other ways of generating revenue?

Currently, it seems like it gets all its income via AdSense and knowing how little AdSense pays, I wonder how it is able to pay for these huge offline campaigns.

Where is the catch? Or maybe they are building a business with the hope of selling it later. Or could it be they are collecting some form of data that they sell somewhere? It can obviously not be free completely as in kabisa kabisa...Not with all those adverts

I enjoyed them until I saw the one where it suggested (to me) that a cougar was selling a necklace.

It's funny that they don't have Nairobi CBD as one of the regions....

That makes sense. But to be fair, hata mimi nimeuza mali through hii kitu. One culture I hope OLX can help us cultivate is getting rid of clutter. It seems to me we are very good at accumulating things we don't need. And you don't realize how much unnecessary stuff you have until when you are moving house and notice the 15-inch CRT monitor you bought in 2002 lurking in a dark corner covered in dust. The truth is that there is someone out there who would find utility in such things. And if you don't know where to take them I think OLX is a great the place. You could even offer it for free if you don't think it can fetch any meaningful amount of money. It is still a win-win.
Learn first to treat your time as you would your money, then treat your money as you do your time.
