About / Contributor Programme
Positioning
About page: platform launched for people with an IT mindset to earn money by sharing videos that empower others with software training solutions. Described as a project to create short problem-solving videos free for everyone.
Pleasure of the business framed as seeing other business people reach new heights using AM machinery and software — quote attributed to MD Eric / Ambitious Machinery (Pty) Ltd.
Broader dream: invite talented software users to create videos for the site; empower South Africans across cultures; revive the economy through shared IT/business knowledge rather than siloing information.
