It is a very difficult service to rate for several reasons. One is their “pricing” model. For one, a price is mainly (if not only) connected to trade, else the notion of “price” won’t even exist. Second, in order to get their services you have to either pay what you want (so yes, a trade), or they will give you a “free pass” card https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/PYv5pmU.png. What if you do not want any of that? And you simply want their services but do not care about the free pass or do not want to pay them anything? Can you do that? Why isn’t there a way to just access the services without any conditions?

Pili, wanatoa huduma nyingi ambazo zinaonekana kuwa hazihusiani kabisa: WEBDESIGN (Hosting, Programming, Designing, Marketing); USHAURI (Ufundishaji, Utatuzi wa Matatizo, Mikakati ya Biashara); TALK STORY (Furaha, Unyogovu, Wasiwasi, Mafanikio). Na huduma hizi hutolewa tu kupitia njia za kibinafsi kama vile barua pepe. Hatuwezi kuangalia yoyote kati ya hizi.

Binafsi nadhani kwamba ikiwa wanategemea biashara fulani kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, hii italeta usawa wa mamlaka na motisha mbaya. Je kama wanaolipa watapewa kipaumbele kuliko wasiolipa!? Siamini mipango kama hii kwani nimeona mara nyingi jinsi inavyosababisha matokeo mabaya. Kwa maoni yangu hii sio huduma isiyo na biashara kwani wanaruhusu biashara zingine za hiari ambazo, kwa wakati, zitaathiri vipaumbele vyao, na pili hatuwezi hata kuangalia ikiwa wanachotoa hakina biashara kwani yote hufanywa kupitia njia za kibinafsi kama vile barua pepe.

Ikiwa wangetaka kutoa mafunzo au usaidizi wa muundo wa wavuti, wanaweza kutengeneza video kuihusu na kuzichapisha bila malipo mtandaoni kwenye archive.org au huduma kama hizo zisizo na biashara, au kama wangetaka kutoa aina zote za huduma za "mazungumzo" kama vile majadiliano na mashauriano, wanapaswa kufanya hivyo bila kuwatumia watu kadi zao za pasi bila malipo au kuwauliza walipe wanachotaka. Wangetoa hiyo tu na ikiwa wangehitaji usaidizi wa kifedha wangeomba michango, ambayo ni michango ya hiari bila kujali unaomba huduma kutoka kwao au la.

W.A.I.T. – What Am I Trading? Well, it’s a bit confusing, since the website asks you to pay either nothing or pay what you want (https://99power.org/pricing). I find this in contrast to offer something without asking anything in return and relying on donations with a donation page, where you can donate if you want. What if the website gets 5 e-mails about using the service and 2 of those use the pay nothing option and 3 of those use the pay what you want option. Will everyone get the same service? What if one of those 3 who pay something pays 10€, the other one 50€ and the third one 300€? Will the one with 300€ get a better or faster service? I think that could be a slippery slope.

Jambo lingine linalonichanganya ni utoaji wa "ushauri wa biashara" (https://99power.org/about - https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/sPf4mPn.png). Hii ni kinyume kabisa na wazo lisilo na biashara pia, kwani biashara inahusu mchezo wa biashara. Lakini ikiwa utoaji wa ushauri wa biashara ni bure, basi ni huduma isiyo na biashara. Sawa na kutoa biblia kama isiyo na biashara, ingawa biblia ni ya kijinga na isiyo ya kisayansi.

Kwa hivyo sijui nifanye nini haswa na hii. Ningesema, ikiwa wanataka kutoa "ubunifu wa wavuti, kuweka misimbo, programu, ushauri wa biashara na ushauri wa jumla" kama huduma isiyo na biashara, wanapaswa kutoa tu hiyo na kuunda ukurasa ambapo wanakubali michango na ndivyo hivyo. Hakuna mkanganyiko, hakuna ujinga - huduma isiyo na biashara tu.

Pia ninataka kutaja mitandao inayotegemea biashara kwenye tovuti iliyo chini ( https://www.directory.trade-free.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/dzPEBnr.png ). Lakini inaonekana hakuna wafuatiliaji kwenye wavuti.

Kwa sasa ningetoa vitalu 3 kati ya 5 na ningependa watu wengine watoe maoni yao juu ya hili ili kuona hoja zao.
