Hi. Am Peter and am an online freelancer/outsourcing services provider. I love social entrepreneurship, using what I have to help others help themselves. Before becoming an online freelancer, I owned a small leather goods business where I used to make leather products by hands like belts and sandals, and sell them to people and businesses in wholesale and retail. Due to the capital intensive nature of the business, it eventually became too hard to sustain as I was wholly reliant on it for my upkeep and that of my family.
In November 2015, I came across someone in a matatu (public service vehicle)
who told me about online freelancing and introduced me to www.fiverr.com. I realized that I could apply my college education into being an online freelancer but I couldn't start because I didn't even have a computer or laptop. I had to shelve the idea until a month later when by some miracle a lady friend who had luckily gone to Australia to work and live called me and asked me how she could help me (she knew I was facing hard times, am an orphan, having lost our single mum back in 2009) and i told her about the online work and how I didn't have a laptop to start working. She sent me $250 which is how I got a laptop and started offering "essay/academic writing" services on fiverr.com
4 years down the line, I now exclusively offer podcast management services, podcast guest booking services, virtual assistant services, and other tailored services., among others.
4 months ago, I rented a small space where I want to start teaching underprivileged and unemployed people who are mostly living in abject poverty how to do work online. So far I have not been able to start my operations since I don't have enough funding. I only have 2 computer monitors and hope that I can with time save enough to buy 2 CPUs. That way I will start helping people, 2 at a time and in the long term I hope to positively impact 2,000 people which will translate to 4,000+ lives

I now exclusively offer podcast management services, podcast guest booking services, virtual assistant services, and other tailored services. I plan to raise enough funding to turn what I do into a social enterprise that will help people how to be online freelancers or get work in the digital work arena. I have previously spoken to Samasource USA to partner with them in getting digital work for the people that I train. Right now, I already have 3 complete computers that are operational and I would like to get 3 more. I already have enough space where I currently work from
I will buy 2 CPUs to match the 2 computer monitors i already have. That way I will 3 computers which will enable me to train 6 people per month at 2,000 each which will be 12,000 per month in income
