My name is James Gichuhi Mwangi and I was born in the year 1986 at Gilgil town which is in Nakuru County, I joined St Patrick primary School In the year 1992 and for eight year I was a pupil in that school doing my primary education, in 1999 I did my final exam which I did well. In the year 2000 I joined Nakuru Day Secondary School for my secondary education up to the year 2004 where I did my K.C.S.E. which is the final secondary exam here in Kenya and passed with a mean grade of B-. In the year 2006 I joined Kenya Polytechnic University College where by i was pursuing a diploma in accountancy course. However, i was unable to finish the course due to financial difficulties hence i was forced to drop out. I was lucky to get employed by Gilgil Telecoms Industries on casual basis for 1 year before the company was closed. In the year 2013 i started learning how to do article writing on the net and i did this for 2 years before i started writing the articles for payment. in the year 2014 i was able to get my own account and i officially started doing academic research and article writing especially those that deals with business topis. This is my business up to date. I am a married man and God has blessed with one son.
My Business
My main business is basically writing articles and academic research on the internet and am based in Gilgil town. I started this job after having realized that the demand of writers especially academic research writers on the internet was very high and being in a position to write i joined the venture. My business does very well and on a good day i am able to make upto US $ 9(This leaves me with a net profit of US$ 7 after having deducted US$ 2 which i pay for the cybecafer that i use).
The little profit that i get is very helpful to me since am able to cater for my family and also pay rent. The main challenge that am facing is that i would like to be writing the articles while at my home and the only problem that am facing is that i do not have a modem. I hope that with Zidisha platfrorm will be able to overcome this loan and hence be in a position to get a loan to buy a modem.
Looking forward to being a helpful zidisha member
Having just cleared paying the previous loan and also recruiting a new member in my article writing business. I feel its now good to buy a moderm so that we can stop sharing the same desktop. At the moment we are using the same machine hence delaying the us when it comes to delivering our articles.
I want to buy a Lenovo G50-70-15.6" laptop which goes for USD 352. So far i have been able to save USD 262. I would really appreciate if you will be able to give me another loan of USD 90.
This Laptop will be of great help since i will be in a position to increase the income of my business by delivering the articles on time and it will also give me ample time to teach the 3 new members that am about to recruit.
I expect to increase my net profit per week by USD 15
