AI Will Help Africa Produce Books into Films Cheaper, Quicker, and Faster

A few years ago, Donald Trump shared a press release announcing a new Trump Hotel venture in India. The release was riddled with spelling errors—so carelessly done that it made you wonder if it was an intentional stunt for attention. This happened around 2012, a few years before Trump ran for president. Now, while India is not an English-speaking country, the sheer number of mistakes was too blatant to overlook.

Today, such errors wouldn’t stand a chance. With AI tools like ChatGPT, grammar and spelling errors can be corrected in seconds. In fact, AI can even write the entire press release with just a few points of information in minutes.

Tools like ChatGPT have become standard, even for editing books.

As Andrew Tate famously described, money is like a “river” that is “always moving.” If you get closer to the river, you might get wet (make money in this case). Just like someone opens a shop in a busy part of town, Takealot is the busy part of town in the city called the internet in South Africa. You just might get wet on Takealot.

Here are a few reasons to sell on Takealot:

  1. Thousands of people use it. They have established a relationship with and trust it.
  2. They have established pick-up points for their thousands of customers at convenient shopping centers. They charge only R25 for this delivery option, making them the cheapest in the country.
  3. If you sell products similar in type or brand name (e.g., soap), you would want to sell them at retailers like Pick n Pay, Shoprite, and Clicks, right? Takealot is your Pick n Pay, Shoprite, and Clicks. This is essentially Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG, a fancy way to say it).
  4. As I mentioned at the beginning, it’s where buyers are. It’s an option worth exploring. You want sales, so you have to explore it.

Not all my businesses’ products sell on Takealot. Our clothes at 94 Brands Shop don’t sell anywhere but on our site. They are bespoke, and our customers wouldn’t want to buy some of them on Takealot – not all. On the other hand, my books and those we publish at Bula Buka Publishers sell on Takealot. Even some of the bookstores that sell our books sell them through Takealot.
