The Aripano Infinity Blog- An Entrepreneur’s Journey

14Aug Aripano Slows Down- a Little Bit

I am looking for an Internet connection. Dial up at home has really become awfully slow- and expensive. Perhaps it’s just that I’ve been spoilt by Bergen broadband. But no, at least before this I didn’t have enough time to take a shower while waiting for a page to open.
This has slowed down the implementation [...]

15Jun And Zedd Didn’t Go Out

If you receive the weekly Zimbo Jam, Zimbablog and Anoziva newsletter- Zedd, you will have noticed that last week’s issue didn’t go out. My apologies. Last week was just so hectic. I was doing some technical upgrades to the Zimbo Jam and working on our new YouTube Channel. I was also doing version and template [...]

29May Analytics and a Marketing Plan for Law.co.zw

Added analytics to www.law.co.zw and www.zimbabwefilm.com just now.
We are still to make noise about law.co.zw. Will do a press release for a June launch and plan a banner advertising campaign through some other Aripano Infinity sites; www.zimbojam.com, www.zimbablog.com, etc.
I’m also thinking of doing a mailing list of lawyers and sending them regular emails about updates [...]

08Oct Adwords for Aripano

I’m so excited because I have- with the help of dear Shingie- just set up Aripano Infinity’s first ever Adwords campaign. The campaign is for Zimbablog and our aim is to push up the awareness of the website so that anyone who needs to know about it does and so that those who are seeking [...]

26Sep A December goal for Zimbablog page views

Zimbablog has had about 6,000 page views from 63 countries in the 26 days that it has been running. That’s not bad growth, but I think we can do better. I am wondering how we can push it further so that it reaches more people. I really believe that it’s a platform that can help [...]

I set it up on Zimbablog today and I’ll see just how effective it is. I love [...]

19Sep A catalogue of blogs

BlogCatalog is a blog directory or blog listing service. It’s another great way to get more people to know about your blog. Sign up, add your blog, wait for approval and once your blog is approved it can be discovered by a potential audience of thousands.
I signed up today and added Unofungei Fungai, Zimbablog and [...]

02Sep Some PR for Zimbablog

The formula is the same as with the ZiReport. I did a press release for Zimbablog and uploaded it to PRLog this morning. Since it was an article about an Internet endeavour I also posted it to ZiReport ;).
By 1330hrs it had been viewed 9 times. Not many people, I agree, but remember these are [...]

01Sep A blog for every Zimbabwean

It’s up! It’s up! Yay! Yay! Yay!
Zimbablog is up and running- after a five day marathon of brainstorming and web development! I must take a break now then come back and optimise some things.
Here’s the idea behind the site: For many people, the thought of running a blog is daunting. Setting one up is easy [...]

29Aug zimbablog.com

Today I registered www.zimbablog.com.
I am in one of those moods where my whole focus is on the main project I am working on. There is hardly any time to eat or sleep or take a loo break. Only when I can’t hold it any more do I make a dash for the ablutions. Only when [...]
