An insight is simply a post you share on TwoCents. It's how the TwoCents community refers to content posted by members.
Every week on TwoCents, Africans from around the globe share their thoughts through insights on all works of life ranging from Career and Business to Politics, Relationships and Society.
TwoCents users who post insights on a regular basis are known as contributors. Being a contributor on TwoCents offers several benefits such as content monetization.

Every contributor has 2 scores, a contributor score and an engagement score.
The contributor score is a metric indicating the engagement a user has received on their insights. This includes views, comments, upvotes, tips etc.

TenQuestions
TenQuestions offers you Q&A Sessions with smart Africans across all works of life.
A session consists of two parts, an interview section and a question section.
The interview part has 10 interview questions with the person being hosted.The purpose of the interview is to get you familiarized with the person being hosted, and to help you begin to formulate the question you might want to ask this person. The interview part becomes accessible once a session opens.
The question section is where questions asked in a particular session reside - questions are ordered in descending order of answer requests. Answer requests are a way of showing the community's interest in a particular question; the more answer requests a question has, the more likely it is to get answered by the person being hosted.
Questions can be asked between a sessions opening date and closing date - and only one question is permitted per user. Once a question has been answered, it can't be edited or removed from a session.

Generate AI audio for your listeners

For text content, you also have the option of adding audio by uploading audio files you create yourself or by generating AI audio.
This alows users who prefer audio to listen rather than read your content.
The AI voices are currently western-style voices — we will provide African-style voices very soon.
Add cover images with AI
When publishing content, you have the option of adding your own cover photos or generating one with AI.
How it all started
The year was 2018, the month was March and we were launching the first version of TwoCents.
We shipped that product knowing that there was a lot we didn't know and had to figure out quickly. There were so many questions surrounding the product and the market, precisely what our place was in the world, how users would accept the product, and if our first version was good enought to test our initial assumptions.
Eventually that first product gave us so many insights and helped us answer some very difficult questions. 2 eventful years later, TwoCents is re-launching with a better and more focused product - we took all we had learned, all the things users said (and didn't say) and today we believe we have the product that will provide a compelling experience for our users.
We welcome you, both old and new users to a community of people moving Africa forward - wether you're being hosted or asking a question, we believe that your two cents counts!
So start sharing and contributing today.
