About Me
Hi,
My Name is Steve Nyongesa, Currently 29yrs Old. I’m born and raised in Kenya, Currently residing In Embakasi, Nairobi. I studied in Aeronautical Engineering, engines and air-frames option. After completion of my studies, securing a job proved to be a difficult task so I ventured into the online freelancing market.
I’ve been in the online market for a while to build a strong enough reputation and skill levels. I am a hard and diligent worker who is quick to learn and also interested in acquiring knowledge. I started out as an article writer and went through various online learning institutions to learn various skills like SEO, SMM, SEM, Web design, Graphics design and still on my way to learning Software design and management.
Currently I believe in expanding my venture to include taking in interested people and teaching them the Skills that I have learned throughout the years and starting them up in the online freelancing industry. It was hard for me to start out and I would like to nature the youths in my area by inviting them to work with me and I’ll be offering them on the job training by contractual basis with hopes that they’ll someday make their live better and the knowledge will help them out.
Thanks for reading and I beg for your support.
My Business
My business currently is small with just me and one other employee; I am still training them in the various tasks involving the eCommerce and account management. Work is going well and I have several other people interested in working with me but the only hindrance is that we currently have two machines. So we usually shift in between tasks so that I may train the others and they have to wait when important contracts arrive.
We manage just to keep things going but I believe that in expanding the business by acquiring used computers that are in good condition will help us out and also when we lack contracts we can offer cyber cafe services as a source of tertiary income.
I also plan to register my business soon as a computer college so that I’ll be able to offer licensed courses instead of training and referring them to other colleges for the relevant certificates.
Thank you for reading through. I hope to get your support so that I may fulfill this dream of mine.
Loan Proposal
I will use $148 to apply for a stable and fast internet so that I can run my contracts with ease. the remainder of the cash will be used to upgrade my computers to meet the requirements of my clients Since most of them require me to have inventory management softwares like linnworks and quickbooks and the latest versions are not supported on my pc currently.
However, with the basic upgrades to the harddisk, Ram and CPU processor, I can improve it inorder to support them.
With the new and improved internet, I shall finally start to initiate my goal for the year, by making all necessary arrangements to start employing workers.
I shal start from picking from one of my previous students I trained then move on from there.
currently I earn $1/hr, I have better contracts pending due to my current state, Once I upgrade I shall be able to start a pending contract which shall pay me over $10/hr.
