Gotv Plus in Kenya: Its Pricing and Channels in 2024

As essentially one of the first major subscription-based digital terrestrial television services to launch in Kenya in 2011 before the country transitioned fully to digital TV in 2015, GOtv Kenya is becoming the oldest name in the pay-TV space:

There are many reasons for its continued success, such as its affordability, when it comes to the pricing of its packages, which GOtv Plus is one, and the vast library of TV channels in these packages to enjoy favorite shows, movies, sports, and more.

How much is Gotv Plus a month?

When you subscribe to any GOtv package in Kenya, the length of billing cycles is monthly, meaning you renew your subscription at the end of the disclosed 30-day billing period unless you choose its basic plan, GOtv Lite, which can be paid Ksh199 per month, Ksh500 quarterly (after every three months) or Ksh1,200 annually but with a small number of channels. Merely 20+.

After GOtv Lite, there is GOtv Value with over 35 included channels at Ksh649/month, followed by this GOtv Plus package, which allows subscribers to access local content, recent movie releases, compelling dramas, kids’ entertainment, comedies, and more through its more than 45 channels for a monthly subscription of Ksh999 in 2024.

Can You Make Money on Google News?

Can You Make Money on Google News?

Okay, these days, people love easy money. I am not sure. Maybe they want easy money, and maybe they don’t, but the economy is hard, or they are too lazy. What I know is looking for this easy cash is harder and cannot be fit for these types of people as the infamous “Nothing comes easy.”

I joined Instagram recently, and I was scrolling through Reels (a habit I have formed over time in a short time since signing up, but I don’t really like it) in the past or the other week, I saw a video of a man claiming you can earn like $2,500 per day on Google News!

Wow! I was interested. I watched a little but scrolled past it. I never saved that short video because I was not serious, for I knew, almost automatically, that it must be a hoax – you know you should know these things – but I regret it.

I regret it because I don’t have that particular video to use right now as my point of reference when telling you how to forget about making any money on Google News. I needed to revisit it, watch it, and further explore the intricacies behind making quick money on this Google News; intricacies because these are the same people saying you can make money on AI seated somewhere.

Luckily, even though I can’t find that reel video on search, and someone should tell Mark Zuckerberg that the Instagram search engine has always been poor, and also can’t recall the name of its creator, I still remember the name of a certain website he mentioned in that video. I had a clue that it was “AARP.” I had researched about it that early morning.

So today, as I was searching Instagram “make money Google news,” hoping to find the video I am talking about but failed, I clicked on one by a user named Allan on How To Make Money Online, in which he also speaks about making $750/day utilizing Google News, but I did not watch the video to the end because I was discouraged by the number of engagements, as the likes and comments on that video were small such that the lies not yet propagated to the entire population. With time, it can. Many people are looking for ways to make money on Google News. The first one was very popular, which is why I found it randomly.

My ambitions didn’t die there. I searched “Money Google News,” but still, I couldn’t see that original video. I headed to Google on Chrome and searched “Make Money Google News Instagram,” and even though I still couldn’t see it, I found a popular video, now by a woman named Bita Barzili.

The video is popular with many engagements like the original one, so I tapped on it to access it. Right! At first glance, I saw ‘visit AARP’ and knew that that was the website I had a glimpse of in my mind. Maybe this could replace the original one.

There, she has outlined the steps of making money on Google News as follows;

1. Go to Google News
2. Pick the category of interest
3. Select an article
4. Highlight the text and click on « Copy. »
5. Proceed to Quillbot and paste the article, then click « Paraphrase » to generate a fresh version
6. Next, visit AARP – AARP offers $1 for every word in an article
The typical article contains around 500 words, equating to $500 per article

But wait! Don’t waste your time. At least you could save it for some important things like work.

AARP and Google News

AARP and Google News

When you look at the AARP website, AARP makes available trustworthy news, entertainment, and insights tailored to people 50 years and above. It is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization with a long record of ensuring elected officials in the United States address the issues that matter to all Americans age 50-plus, including protecting Social Security and Medicare. But do they accept articles from Google News?

Well, generally, AARP The Magazine accepts story ideas and pitches via pubspitches@aarp.org, but Story idea letters should be no more than one page long and should provide links to recent writing samples. Your letter should present your idea, give details on how you would approach it, provide some sense of your writing style, and name the section of the magazine for which the piece is intended, as one of the rules before pitching as stipulated in its Writer’s Guidelines, because it covers stories of diverse categories including Work and Money, Health and Fitness, Consumerism, Technology, Travel and more across North America and general.

However, here is the catch for those looking forward to copying articles from Google News, rewriting using AI writing tools like Quillbot and Grammarly, supplying it with a nice title, submitting to AARP, and making money: “If you submit a plagiarized pitch, we will blacklist and block you,” AARP’s cautionary advice to writers reads, due to a deluge of plagiarized and A.I.-generated submissions from overseas, it says, adding “If you submit a pitch written by AI, we will blacklist and block you.”

Whatsoever, you can’t make money on AARP using Google News unless you write original stories and have links to your recent writing samples as indicated in its writer guidelines.

Finally, as a journalist, there is no way you can make money online on Google News because despite it being your ‘source’ for trustworthy news stories personalized to you based on your likes and interests, its work is basically indexing news stories from media houses and it is not the original original source as it says. Thus, it is not easy for Google News to make money from the content posted on it unless from link referrals and own advertisements and things like that. I am there, and I have never made a single cent!

Review: Equity Bank Kenya Savings Accounts for Kids and Teens

Review: Equity Bank Kenya Savings Accounts for Kids and Teens

Equity Bank Kenya has two savings accounts available for kids and teen members to prepare them for financial independence by helping them learn money behaviors and habits like smart spending, borrowing, and saving early. It gives them a strong start.

Setting long-term financial goals and modeling good money management habits sets kids up for a future of financial success: Studies say money habits are set by age 7, and you should start talking to kids about money as early as 3.

The two Equity Bank’s savings accounts for kids and teens in Kenya are;

1. Junior Member Account

Juniour Member account savings money

Help ensure your children are moving in the right direction financially by opening an Equity Bank Junior Member Account opened by you, the parent or guardian, on behalf of all the kids through age 17. Both the adult and the child co-own it.

The Junior Member Account opening balance is Ksh200. It also has a Ksh200 minimum operating balance, accepting free cash deposits and standing orders into the account.

This Equity Bank savings account for kids has no debit card, but it accepts mobile and online banking with no access charges and free withdrawal and internal transfers.

For your kid to earn its interest rate of 4-8%, paid every quarter, their Junior Member Account should have at least Ksh10,000 or more saved already in the account. These savings are withdrawable for free twice a year, and then a charge of Ksh100 applies for each additional withdrawal.

This savings account becomes dormant after a year of inactivity but attracts no reactivation fee. When you want to close a Junior Member Account, the closing fee is Ksh300.

2. Teen Member Account

With the Equity Bank Teen Member Account, young savers learn to manage their money and grow their savings.

Teens below 18 years old typically don’t have a large balance to start their savings journey, but thanks, the Teen Member Account opening and operating balance of Teen Member Account is only Ksh200 and has no maintenance fees.

The Teen Member savings account is available with a parent or guardian as a co-signer, but it operates under the teen’s name. It has similar features as the Junior Member Account, paying reasonable interest rates of between 4% and 8%.

When you open it, your teen will receive free financial education every quarter and will gain free entry to Teen Member open days for enhanced financial literacy.

How to Book NTSA Driving Test Exams in Kenya (2024)

How to Book NTSA Driving Test Exams in Kenya (2024)

Once you have a learner permit, the Provisional Driving License (PDL),
after completing your driver’s education course in a driving school, you must pass an NTSA road test exam to get your driver’s license in Kenya.

The NTSA Exam is a general name meant to describe a written test, multiple-choice test, and practicals that one must take before getting a driving license. It is a test booking for class endorsement in the driving license.

These exams are administered by driving test examiners (DTE) from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), whose mission is to provide safe and efficient movement of pedestrians, goods, and vehicular traffic on Kenyan roads and highways by registering and licensing motor vehicles, conducting motor vehicle inspection and certification, regulating public service vehicles (PSVs), which are part of its mandate.

NTSA exam practice tips

The following steps will maximize your exam success chances:

* Obtain study materials such as test guides and practice tests that can help you understand the theoretical background and format of NTSA exams.

* Practice sample questions to familiarize yourself with the questions you will encounter on the actual exam. The most tested areas include knowledge of the rules of the road in general, road signals and signs, authorized road or highway codes, and physical fitness to drive a motor vehicle of the class for which the license shall be issued.

* Learn test-taking strategies that will help you manage your time within the time limit of your NTSA test and solve questions quickly.

How you can apply for an NTSA exam

If you have a driver’s education completion certificate from an NTSA-recognized driving school or hold a PDL and have completed certification of supervised driving, you can apply for your exam online, and you will take it from your nearest Driving Test Unit (DTU).

To book your NTSA driving test online,

1. Visit www.ntsa.go.ke and go to
Online Services menu
2. Click on ‘Driver Testing and Licensing’
3. Sign in using your E-Citizen account
4. Click ‘Test Booking‘ and give the required info
5. Make payment
6. Select the preferred date for the NTSA exams
7. Visit the preferred test center and take the test

The charge for NTSA test booking is Ksh1,050, and you will get your results the same day after doing the exams.

When you pass the driving test, you will get a certificate of competence (C of C) indicating the class or classes of motor vehicle you are permitted to drive. The C of C is valid for three (3) months, and after expiry, it will be at the discretion of the licensing officer to decide whether you will undergo another driving test or proceed with the application, payment, and acquisition of the Kenyan driving license.

MTN Cameroon offers low-cost money transfers that are quick, secure, and instant on its all-in-one mobile money platform MTN MoMo, further allowing bill payments, purchase of airtime, and sending money not only within Cameroon but abroad as well.

Active MTN subscribers initiate the send money process to their family, friends, or business associates by dialing the USSD code *126#, selecting 1 “sending money,” and following the prompts.

Transferring money in this way is quicker and easier than taking out cash or using a cheque, but some charges come along with it as it is not free to send money using the MTN Cameroon line. Even withdrawals cost something.

But MTN MoMo super rates and low fees in Cameroon are hard to beat: For example, sending amounts between 100 FCFA to 10,000 FCFA costs a 50 FCFA transfer fee, and a 0.5% transaction charge applies to amounts above that up to 200,000 FCFA.
