About Me

I am an author, SME coach and digital marketer.

I am finalizing a new book which I will need to market and print.

I got a bulk order for my previous book. This gave me an idea of what to write about next.

I am have written the current manuscript with bulk order ideas in mind.

My Business

I have been iterating my product based on feedback that helps me see where I can have the highest impact.

I have had some good feedback from the courses and seminars like this:

" Wanted to ask something but first thank you for that course you taught and the book 7 steps to better sales. I've noticed an increase in sales and I'm still applying your tips
Thank you so very much
"

"the course....It has given me a wealth of knowledge on the critical things to focus on at every stage of the business if it is to grow and succeed. The programme has also helped me to discover some of the reasons why my previous side-hustles inevitably betrayed their promising starts."

Loan Proposal

I intend to use part of it to print more books and part of it to do more marketing.

Print books at $5, resell at $15.

Marketing will help me to attract more clients.

    I used the previous project to run paid advertising. This helps me to get more consultancy clients who can then pay for other business costs.

    Good day,

    Thank you for the opportunity I had with ZIDISHA.

    My business has done well and I no longer need to be a borrower.

    I am exploring the possibility of becoming a lender.

    Thanks,

    I used the last fund to boost my marketing and create a better personal brand.

    The good results are as follows:
    I got my books into an established book store.
    I got my first book bulk order.
    I got a proposal to train some SMEs supported by a bank.
    I got interest from a higher profile potential client.

    For this loan, I plan to:
    Print more books for sale.
    Pay for another digital marketing certification program.
    Continue to market my books and brand.
