Out of 8,457 members at Abibitumi, we have grand total of 87 financial contributors who have made 218 combined individual donations. That’s like 1% of our membership who actually contribute financially. Does this surprise anyone?-
I am keen to financially contribute on what i can – is there anywhere i can learn more of the goals & objectives of the financial contributions, if possible how will i eveluate the impact of my contribution. Willing to do what i can for Afrikan liberation

Right now, everything is about building infrastructure and capacity building. We recently hired a freelancer out of Kenya to assist with SEO, site speed/optimization, app development, kwk, and we are looking for others who can also work for Abibitumi in similar veins. Any and all improvements you see on the site and app are the direct and tangible…Read More

Yes, Doc I am surprised by this. I would like to purpose a challenge to the 99%. As of today, my new year’s resolution is to sign up for $25 per month reoccurring payments to Abibitumi.com via PayPay. Does anyone in the 99% want to match my challenge? Perhaps best my challenge?

@nkululeko, I saw your contribution and we thank you for it. Sîmba Sîmbi!

Thank you Doc, for all that you do for our people. Peace and blessings to you and your family. ✊🏾

@nkululeko, and thank you for your support. I was just saying that I need a lot less “fans” and a lot more actual supporters. @chiefajamat, that’s the ratio we’re working with.

Other ways to support if not by donating if that is not your thing
1. Purchase the exclusive products in our shop for yourself, family, friends, etc.
2. Take an Afrikan language class…invite a group
3. Attend our live discussions when we have invited scholars to the platform
4. Provide your skill to support the site – marketing and…Read More -
When I do marketing I always have a call to action. People have to be told specially “hey buy something” or “hey donate here.” I very new to this site so I’m not sure how contributions are asked for so don’t beat me up too much. I would put a call to action somewhere when the site opens or in the newsfeeds as often as needed.
-
I agree with a call to action. I have been researching marketing strategies and having a consistent call to action was one of the strategies mentioned.
-
-
@mrho, we may pin this post. From a marketing perspective, do you not think that a popunder asking for contributions wouldn’t be a bit too intrusive?
-
No I don’t. You market to bring awareness to a cause and the call to action points them to what you want. You do it in hopes of reaching people not the entire community but a larger number than those currently part taking. You have to do it for a set period of time until it become well known. Like the squeaky wheel the 1st time the owner hears t…Read More

Of the 8,400 + members how many are actively visiting the site every day?
-
Of the 220 donors how many are active and have purchased lessons, lectures, or other materials from Abibitumi?
-
We have around 200 visitors per day, down from our average traffic of 2,000 per day on the old software we were using on the old forums. The reason for the drop is being dropped from rankings during the software switch and SEO issues being re-indexed. We don’t have 220 donors, we have 220 donations. I wouldn’t go back though, as the old software…Read More
-
Of the 87 donors how many have purchased a product from Abibitumi? I would bet there is a pattern/commonality with donors. Perhaps the donors have taken language lessons and now feel more connected hence their donation, or maybe it takes on average two years of engagement on Abibitumi before a person gives. Getting to the root of why folks are…Read More

It’s a situation we all find ourselves in when trying to help our people, Those who understand will invest, those who are brainwashed will try to tear it down simply because their master says so. The same people are quick to say “You must make a lot of money” with no thought of how you attend to your financial responsibilities.
-
@humbleafrica, this is what we’ve been dealing with for nearly 13 years, but we push forward with what comparatively little support we get and the sheer force of will.

WTH! GETTING UP ON THIS DANG SOAPBOX FOR THIS!
I’m sorry. I have to call BS here. Nana Kwame wasn’t I just talking about how people put up barriers and non-substantive questions as a way to avoid taking action? I’m seeing questions and answers about how nickles and dimes are spent. Isn’t there a psychological term for this? Yeah, I think it’s…Read More -
Am gonna start this month end with montly budget, is shameful we cant contribute to start something for our community.

It’s truly a shame. Unfortunately, abnormality is the rule, not the exception.
-
@olowokandy, I don’t see you around much anymore. Are you still on the site?
-
-
We appreciate all those who have started contributing in the basis of this post as well as those who have already been contributing. When we get up to 2%, we will really be doing something. Little by little, we’ll get there!
-
Who thinks that one day we will get to 2% of our membership to actually support Abibitumi’s work, mission, and vision financially?
-
I do. I thought it was 1 600, but it’s 160 people needed to reach 2%

Appreciate this platform. I’m currently in the United Snakes of stolen land. I made a contribution & again appreciate the content of this platform

@all, we are looking to hire a technical person to be on retainer so that Agya @kevlew and I can focus more on overall directional and programmatic work while leaving the busywork to someone dedicated for this purpose. We have a sista in Kenya, @Damaris Kerubo, who is working on Android app development for our family of sites. This will be someone…Read More

PLEASE DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF AND OUR GOALS IN GETTING CONTRIBUTORS!
-
I’m on the monthly donor plan. I honestly think everyone can afford $5/month. We can’t have a Black platform without currency to run and maintain it. I understand. Take that tithe money and put it to good use.

-
Yɛda mo ase! Thanks to all new contributors! If you have made a contribution but haven’t been added to the Contributor’s Exclusive group, just hit me up and let me know.
-
I’m not sure if there is a $ amount requirement to be added or if Ive been added at all. However, I don’t see the group anywhere in my lists. If you check for my contribution and see where I should be added, please let me know what steps to take.

You are a member of Abibitumi.com Contributors’ Exclusive group. We thank you for your continued contributions to our collective work, mission, and vision.

Once i get my financial situation in order i will donate. As the old saying goes “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”

@dessalinesthabrave, sounds like a good plan. We’ve made progress on getting the forum posts back. Hopefully we’ll have it resolved within the next week.

@dessalinesthabrave, we appreciate your contribution to the work, mission, and vision of Abibitumi!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you got several inquiries about Abibifahodie Adesuabea.
