Why Selling Only on Social Media Is Killing Ugandan Businesses | Nyota Works

1. Social Media Can Shut You Down Overnight

One report. One policy change. One hacked account.
Your business disappears.

No appeal. No warning. No recovery.

If your sales depend only on WhatsApp or Instagram, your business is one click away from collapse.

A website cannot be switched off by Meta.

2. No Website = No Trust

Let’s be honest.

Customers in Uganda do not trust businesses without websites.
No website looks:

  • Temporary

  • Informal

  • Risky

Serious clients Google you first.
If nothing shows up, they move on — silently.

3. Social Media Makes You Look Small

Social media pages look like everyone else’s.
Same posts. Same captions. Same noise.

A website sets you apart.
It shows structure, clarity, and seriousness.
That’s how real businesses look.

4. You Are Renting, Not Building

Social media is rented space.
A website is an asset.

When you build a website:

  • You own your traffic

  • You rank on Google

  • You grow visibility over time

  • You stay discoverable even when offline

Smart businesses build assets. Weak ones chase likes.

5. Businesses With Websites Get Paid First

People pay businesses they trust.
Trust comes from:

  • A professional website

  • Clear services

  • Proper contact details

  • Visible location

No website = too many questions.
Website = confidence to pay.

The Truth

If your business dies when your social media page is blocked,
you don’t own a business — you’re just posting.
