I am a young man aged 22 years and the second last born in a family of six, where four are brothers and one sister. I have studied up to the level of a college diploma in Social Work and Community Development.I come from a rural area where agriculture is the main source of income for the locals, but as time goes by and families grow, land has been subdivided and thus the economic activity doesn't fetch much.
My passion has been working online and particularly freelancing as an alternative to agriculture. I have been writing articles online on a piecework basis since I do not own an account and also due to the fact that am still learning the art from my mentors.
Having already secured a first loan from Zidisha, I utilized it and acquired a second hand personal computer to aid me in my online jobs venture. Things worked out quite well and I was able to service my loan to the last coin. I have successfully explored other areas in online work apart from article writing, that is transcription and a bit of marketing. I have also been able to at times hire the services of a person to assist while the work load grows and that meant I wasn't the only one benefiting.
I will use the loan to buy a second hand personal computer (desktop). This will go a long way in helping me have optimum hours doing online jobs as well as venturing into other more profitable online jobs such as affiliate marketing besides the current article writing am doing. I have not been able to venture fully into the online jobs since am forced to seek computer services in cyber cafes which is way too expensive for me and thus limits me. I also will be able to bid for more jobs since I can comfortably extend my working hours into the night, something which is not possible currently with cyber cafes. Finally I look forward to owning a writing account and quit having to be contracted by others as is the case currently, since it pays way less. Someday I may also employ someone to assist on piecework as my work base grows.
