Clean design and clear English are a must. Find businesses abroad that complement yours and opt for a collab! This could be anything from a guest blog post to a co-branded product. You get access to their audience, they get access to yours – win-win! Do you make Ankara clothes or other locally-made products? You can sell them to people all around the world! Use websites like Etsy, Jumia International, or Facebook Marketplace to show everyone. You can sell to people in other countries and make money! Remember, going global doesn't have to be expensive. With a little creativity and these tips, you can be that next big African brand taking the world by storm. Now go and conquer (without emptying your bank account)! P.S.
