About Me

I am a 30 year old who has a passion for writing and have decided to make it an income generating venture to beat the high rate of unemployment in my country. I decided to venture into freelance writing to help my siblings and make something out of my life as well. I have been writing for 6 months now, though my income was negligible at the start, I am now able to earn a decent earning despite facing various challenges. I confidently say that with the current trend sky will can only be the limit. I have managed to move from basic level to Elite level on a website called iWriter.com with steady flow of special requests from clients who have been pleased by style of writing.

My Business

Despite having written for six months, I have experienced quite a number of challenges with the most outstanding one being the use of a computer for hire to write my articles. After 3 months I approached a friend who agreed to sell me his laptop at a hire purchase price but I will only gain full ownership upon completing the final payment. If my loan is approved not only will I complete the payment but that will automatically translate to more working hours thus increased income. I am also planning to show other jobless youths how to make money online with the meager resources i have and have a positive impact in their lives. Freelancing is working for me, it can certainly work for them as well.

Here is a breakdown of how much I earn, and expenditures
Monthly earnings $300
Monthly internet bundles $23
Other Expenditures $120

With this income I have a balance of $157 , thus will be able to service your loan within the required time. Kindly consider my application.

Amon Githae

Loan Proposal

I am in a freelancer who is currently sourcing out projects on various websites online. Despite my high rankings on these websites, I am faced with a daunting task of fulfilling the growing number of clients demands. This is caused by lack of a high speed laptop which can connect to the internet quickly. As you well know to deliver smashing write-ups you have to do some research and the faster you are the better it is for you. A fast machine translates to more write-ups hence more income. I am also in the process of recruiting other potential writers so they can start making money online as well. I also intend to start a blog to educate the youth on online avenues they can use to make ends meet. The loan to say will make this a reality.

    Dear Lenders,

    The last couple of weeks has been bad for me and my business. I experienced sickness in my family which resulted in huge hospital bills. Consequently, my financial status was significantly affected. I recently started a farming project to diversify my earnings, and I promise to resume my normal payments in a fortnight. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the inconveniences caused.

    Dear Lenders,
    I would like to reschedule the loan since my business is currently undergoing some financial strains. However I intended to resume payments in a week or so. I'm really sorry for this, as I had not anticipated difficult financial time, but being the responsible lender I am I thought it wise to in form you instead of falling back on my payments.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello Lenders,

    It's been close to 8 weeks since you amazingly raised my loan within 6 hours. A lot of POSITIVE things have happened since then.

    I was able to buy the 3 computers for the learning center and I have since bought another 1 computer to make it a total of 5 computers.

    The number of students has almost doubled, we now train at least four to five students per session.

    I have personally trained 6 of our students on how to make money online through writing of articles for free and they can now earn some cash to cater for their basics needs.

    You remember I said I would reschedule the loan on the 4th week? That hasn't happened yet, but one thing is for sure, if all the factors remain constant, I will finish paying my loan waaaay before the scheduled time. Watch this space.

    Finally, let me thank everybody who came through for me that day. I truly appreciate your warm intentions. Stay Blessed

    Regards

    Amon Githae
