About Me

My name is Naserian Mapelu. I have been blogging for close to 8 years now. Until One and a Half years ago, i have been doing it on my own, using my laptop and modem at home. My earnings come entirely from my online business mostly about article writing, data entry and transcription services. Last year in August i decided to empower stay-at-home moms and the youths by introducing them to online jobs. So far i have managed to train over 60 stay-at-home moms, most of whom have already started earning lots and lots of money, and becoming self-empowered.... Thus my source of income also comes from the regular trainings that i hold... my hobbies, i love writting, a lot, i love watching movies and i love helping the less fortunate in the society.... I am a mother to the most beautiful baby in the world... yes, am yet to find anything as cute as my butu :)

My Business

One of my other side hustles for the past one and a half years has been farming. I do farm potatoes back in the village in Narok County for commercial purposes. I currently have 7 acres of potatoes which are due harvesting in two weeks time. An acre of potatoes will cost me about $60 to lease out for a year, the seedlings to plant will cost me around $150 and labor plus tractor will cost me around $200. The good thing with potatoes is they take only 3 months in the farm, so when all else remains constant i.e. whether etc, i will have three planting seasons in a year. On average, an acre of potato will produce 50-70 bags, on the lowest side 50 bags and on the highest side sometimes up to 110 bags. A bag goes for between $30-$50 depending on the prevailing market price as well as the demand and supply of the same.

Loan Proposal

I want to purchase a photocopier machine that i will use to duplicate papers for people in and around my office, I realize there are no photocopy machines in our building and people have to walk long distance to get copiers, which are highly priced. The cost of a good 3-in-1 machine is around 60,000, which does photocopy, printing and scanning! Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance!

    I hired a few more acres for potatoes, and the cost of seedling has gone very high, meaning i av to economize every cent to be able to plant in season. will readjust in a few weeks once the plants are on the ground and i sell the ones that are almost due for harvesting.

    I have experienced tremendous increase with my business online, and my adsense earnings from my blogs are equally paying off so i want to increase the repayment amount so i can reduce the interest rate! Thank you!

    I have had good revenue from my investment, and the past couple of weeks i have been repaying more than my initial repayment, so i feel increasing it formally is much better! Thank you Zidisha!
