My name is charles Gitonga. Am a Kenyan from Nyeri county. I currently reside in Nairobi's Umoja estate. I hold a diploma in mass communication and journalism from Nairobi Institute Of Business Studies. I am currently specializing in freelance online journalism.
I am currently working with one of the online writing platforms where I sell feature articles of different categories.Writing has always been in me and that is the reason why I chose this divide of journalism. I Also do research writing and blogging.
The earning I get from my writing has been of utmost help since I have managed to pay the part of my college fees. I am also able to fairly sustain my family and my parents as well.
I am a freelance online writer currently working with iwriter.com. I have been in this job for the past one and a half years now and it has been my source of income all along.
I specialize in writing feature articles meant for different websites.
I also specialize in blogging and affiliate marketing which is also one of the my major sources of income.
In addition, I do academic research. However, I get work from my friend since is do not own an account.
Bearing in mind that websites call for constant updates,feature articles never run out of demand. I actually get special requests from individual website owners who pay me quite well.
I receive my payment on weekly basis. My approximate weekly earning ranges between $120 to $150. This amounts to about $400 monthly. I also get side earnings from my personal blog and academic research as well.
I however wish to diversify my online work by buying my own academic research account. I have actually received several offers from people selling their accounts.
The account I intend to buy is going for $600. It is properly marketed and with constant supply of work. With the account, I will be in a position to hire my own writers for more gains.
I intend to diversify my online business by venturing into affiliate marketing and other marketing in general alongside online content writing. I therefore need to register my website with $70 of the loan. My wish is to have the online marketing business active in the next few weeks.
I will use the other $70 to top up what I have to procure a new laptop for my business. Am currently using a Dell laptop (windows xp model) which is not so good bearing in mind the work I do. Getting a modern version of a laptop will work ideally for me.
