About Me

Since early 2014, I have been working on various writing assignments, from draft contracts and copy-writing to web content and ad text. Most of my assignments come from building relationships with clients online from all over the world.

Not only does my new path offer the promise of greater financial security for me, it also allows me to have more time with my family. I am also occasionally able to give my extra work to a neighbor or friend who needs help.

My Business

Starting January 2014, I have been offering clients from all over the world with excellent web and business content for use on their websites, banners, advertisements and brochures.

Great web copy not only helps improve a company's ranking on Google, it also helps to convert prospects into paying clients by helping them understand why they need to use a particular product or service.

I chose this business because I had noticed - from my last job, where I worked closely with marketers - that a lot of marketing content was haphazardly done and more of a copy-paste job from similar campaigns and did not focus on what the client needs. I also believe that I offer a better quality service than more expensive providers in the US, UK and Australia who charge more than three times what I do.

I typically earn $15 - 30 per day, with my major costs being electric power and connectivity costs, which work out to approximately $3 per day.

My major hurdles are unreliable mains power supply and weak GSM internet signal, since I work in a rural area. I plan to use the money raised through Zidisha to first purchase a generator or solar power backup and subsequently install an outdoor antenna for my modem to improve connectivity.

My longer term plan is to purchase three more computers that will allow me to offer affordable internet to the rural community of Tigoi where I live.

Loan Proposal

Following the success of the writing and farming projects, my fiancee and I opened up a money transfer and beauty products kiosk. I am looking to further stock up on several items, specifically mascara, nail polish and talcum powder, all at a cost of $30. The kiosk has given my fiancee and her friend a viable business since she had previously been unemployed. Thanks for your support!
