Small business owners now have a new place to learn digital marketing on demand: Josh Maraney has launched a free online library holding more than 700 short-form videos on SEO, Google Ads and Answer Engine Optimization, aimed at owners, freelancers and marketers. Pulling together years of Josh Maraney's daily short-form clips into a single, fully searchable hub, the library lets anyone enter a topic and immediately surface a clear, practical answer. Rather than scrolling social feeds and hoping the right video appears, visitors search by subject and start watching right away. Each clip is intentionally brief, designed to deliver value in under two minutes. The catalogue tackles the real questions owners raise: ranking on Google, getting found in AI search and AI Overviews, running Google Ads without burning budget, boosting local visibility, and earning placement in answer engines. Nothing is gated — no sign-up, no paywall, no course to purchase. Browsing and searching the entire library costs nothing. Better still, the library expands by itself. As Josh Maraney releases new videos, they are added automatically, so the collection keeps growing without visitors needing to go elsewhere. "Most useful marketing advice is buried in social feeds and gone in a day," said Josh Maraney. "I wanted one place where a business owner can search a real question and get a straight answer in under two minutes, for free. That is what this library is." The launch echoes a broader change in how people seek help. Rather than long courses or gated downloads, buyers now want fast, specific answers whenever they need them. Keeping the full catalogue open and searchable means the library reaches people precisely when a question arises and they are ready to act. It is designed for time-pressed owners handling their own marketing who cannot spare hours combing through content. A plumber hoping to show up in local results, a shop owner making sense of AI search, or a …
Transnova Expanded as Tiger Brands’ Lead Logistics Partner After Open Tender
Johannesburg: Tiger Brands, Africa’s largest listed fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturer, has confirmed the reappointment and expansion of its logistics partnership with Transnova, following a competitive tender process concluded in June 2026. Transnova, a leading independent supply chain advisory, technology and managed services firm, has been reappointed as Tiger Brands’ lead logistics partner. The expanded mandate consolidates Transnova’s role in overseeing and optimising Tiger Brands’ national distribution network, which moves approximately 2 million tons of finished goods annually to more than 4,000 customers across 190,000 delivery locations. The appointment follows a formal request for proposals (RFP) issued by Tiger Brands earlier this year, in line with governance requirements for listed companies to subject material contracts to open competition. Transnova, which has partnered with Tiger Brands since 2016, not only retained the mandate but also secured an expanded scope as lead logistics partner. Capital Discipline Meets Operational Confidence The decision to expand Transnova’s role comes as Tiger Brands executes a sharp portfolio reset under CEO Tjaart Kruger, divesting non-core and underperforming assets while doubling down on higher-margin growth categories. In June 2026, Tiger Brands confirmed the disposal of parts of its legacy Beacon chocolate business, retaining only selected snack brands aligned with its long-term growth strategy. The group has also completed the sale of its Randfontein operations and previously exited its stake in Chilean food group Carozzi. At the same time, Tiger Brands reported strong operational performance in the first half of FY26, with operating income up 26.1% to R2.1bn, supported by improved margins and cost-saving initiatives. Volume growth of 4.5% offset price deflation, while the group returned R9.2bn to shareholders through special dividends and share buybacks since FY24. Against this …

UIF Connect Helps South African Employers Register Staff and Stay Compliant
A registered consulting firm guiding domestic and commercial employers through registration, arrears, and ongoing UIF obligations. UIF Connect, a registered South African consulting firm, is encouraging domestic and commercial employers to review their Unemployment Insurance Fund obligations as the country moves through the mid-year period in July 2026. With many households and small businesses taking stock of their staffing arrangements before the second half of the year, the firm is reminding employers that registering employees and keeping monthly contributions up to date is both a legal duty and a practical safeguard for the people who work for them.The Unemployment Insurance Fund provides short-term relief to workers who lose income through unemployment, illness, maternity leave, or the death of a contributor. For that relief to reach a worker when it is needed, the employer must first be registered and contributions must be recorded correctly. UIF Connect works with employers to get this right from the start, reducing the confusion that often surrounds registration and arrears. Drawing on more than ten years of experience in the field, UIF Connect assists two broad groups of employers. Domestic employers, including private households that employ gardeners, domestic workers, and other household staff, are guided through registering both themselves and their employees. Commercial employers and small businesses receive the same support for their own teams. Where contributions have fallen behind, the firm also helps employers deal with arrears so that their records can be brought back into good standing. The company positions itself as a practical partner rather than a replacement for the Department of Employment and Labour. Its UIF consultants focus on the paperwork, the registration steps, and the guidance that many employers find overwhelming when they first encounter the system. This support is designed to be affordable and straightforward, which …

Zero Debt Highlights Mid-Year Debt Review as Winter Budgets Tighten
The NCR-registered debt counselling company points to debt review as a structured route for over-indebted South Africans this July. As the middle of the financial year arrives and winter places extra strain on household budgets across South Africa, Zero Debt is reminding over-indebted consumers that a formal, regulated route out of debt already exists. The company, a National Credit Regulator registered debt counselling business, is using the July period to encourage struggling borrowers to review their repayments before short-term arrears grow into long-term defaults.July often lands at an awkward point in the South African household calendar. The festive-season spending of the previous December has long been absorbed into monthly repayments, colder months push up electricity and heating costs, and the next real breathing space feels far away. For families already stretching every rand, this is frequently the moment when minimum payments start to slip. Zero Debt says this is exactly when a structured intervention matters most, rather than waiting until legal notices begin to arrive. At the centre of the company's offering is Debt Review, a legal process created under the National Credit Act. Through this process, a registered debt counsellor negotiates with a consumer's creditors to reduce the interest rates on outstanding debts and to reorganise repayments into a single, more manageable monthly amount. Once a consumer is accepted into the programme, they are protected from legal action such as repossession or garnishee orders, and creditors and debt collectors are no longer permitted to contact or harass them directly. The debt counsellor becomes the single point of contact, which removes much of the daily stress that comes with falling behind. Zero Debt positions itself among the Debt Review Companies that focus on realistic, affordability-based restructuring rather than quick fixes. The company assesses what a consumer can genuinely afford to pay each …
