Eneza Business Model ​

Overview ​

Eneza operates a two-sided marketplace connecting advertisers who want to reach audiences with everyday users who earn money by sharing ads on their WhatsApp Status. We monetize through a Cost-Per-View (CPV) model with a 33% take rate.

The Core Model ​

The Simple Formula ​

Revenue = Verified Views × Platform Fee (E0.10)
GMV = Verified Views × CPV (E0.30)

Example (Year 3):

75M monthly views × E0.30 CPV = E22.5M monthly GMV
Platform revenue = E7.5M/month (33% take rate)
Annual revenue = E90M (~$5M USD)

RecipientAmountPercentagePurpose

Platform (Eneza)E0.1033%Operations, tech, growth
Total CPVE0.30100%Per verified view

Why This Split Works ​

For Users:

  • E0.20/view is meaningful income (E300+/month achievable)
  • Higher than most micro-earning platforms
  • Instant gratification (daily earnings visible)

For Advertisers:

  • E0.30/verified view is competitive with digital ads
  • Better than E5-15 CPM for estimated impressions
  • Trust factor of peer recommendations adds value

For Eneza:

  • 33% margin covers operations and growth
  • Scalable model (AI reduces marginal costs)
  • Room for volume discounts while staying profitable

Revenue Streams ​

Primary Revenue: Advertising CPV (95%+) ​

The core business model—advertisers pay per verified view.

ComponentRate
Standard CPVE0.30
Premium CPV (future)E0.50 (video ads)
Minimum campaignE500

Revenue Calculation:

Daily views: 250,000 (Year 1 average)
× E0.30 CPV
= E75,000 daily GMV
× 33% platform fee
= E25,000 daily revenue
× 30 days
= E750,000 monthly revenue
