**Wavu-Rewards Program** Free User Marketing & Empowering Scheme via Wavu-Ads & Reviews The Wavu-Rewards Program is WavuKazi’s unique method of enabling free users to participate in the ecosystem, build credibility, and generate value—without requiring upfront financial investment. It leverages advertising, reviews, and user engagement to reward contribution, while simultaneously empowering businesses and content creators. \--- Core Features Free User Engagement Anyone in the WavuKazi ecosystem can contribute to marketing campaigns, test products, or review services without paying a membership fee. Free Users receive Wavu-Cred rewards for every verified contribution, incentivizing activity and engagement. Wavu-Ads Participation Businesses or SBCs can run promotional campaigns targeting free users. Free Users act as local micro-ambassadors, distributing ads, creating small content pieces, and sharing reviews. Every action—click, share, review, or post—is tracked and rewarded. Wavu-Reviews System Free Users provide verified reviews on products, services, and training programs. Their reviews become part of the WavuKazi database for analytics, helping creators and businesses optimize offerings. Quality, honesty, and engagement determine reward levels, encouraging accountability. Wavu-Cred Integration Rewards earned are issued in Wavu-Cred, which can be spent within the ecosystem (e.g., on courses, workshops, or Wavu-Hub services). This maintains the $3-to-$1 banking ratio, reinforcing value circulation and ecosystem sustainability. \--- Benefits for Free Users Skill & Experience Development – Users gain practical marketing, promotion, and content creation experience.
