Hello beautiful friends. Welcome back to my blog for week 211 episode 2 in hive learner's community. For the topic of discussion, this is actually what I have been looking for.
For more than two years now I have been sincerely looking for investors. I have prayed and searched, but up till now I have not seen anyone yet. And I believe that somehow, someday and sometime I will be opportuned to get one that will be willing to invest in what I do which will help bring me out for the world to see me for whom I am.
I have had this persion in me for more than five years now to write books and sell it out to students. When the desire came at first I tried to write this particular book titled: Too Late to Remember. Because of finance the book stayed in my system as soft copy for more than two years. And finally when I had the opportunity to lay my hands of some money that was meant for something else I went on to print my book with the money hoping to replace it when it will be needed. All glory to God because I went on to print 500 copies which did not make it as cheap as it should be. I call people together and lunch the book. I was able to gather part of the money that was used to print the novel and that helped me to pay back even before the owner of the money noticed that it was used. Few of the books remaining I took to schools and sold to students. This was actually my first step and I can't forget that experience. I became an author. People call me that a lot and it gives me joy to see that I have been able to contribute to the society something that can be of help.
Since then I have written more than six other novels: both prose and drama. Some of them I add a little poem in it because is meant for children in primary schools. I have managed to print out few copies and took them to schools to advertise my work to them. Some schools saw it and loved my work. They started making demands for the book and I could not supply as wanted by the schools. I only printed few copies and send to them. Some schools kept calling and I only promised them that by first term all the novels will be available for their students. But I know within me that I don't have the money for the publishing. I need someone who will see what I am seeing and throw some money in to my books.
INVESTORS NEEDED
Sincerely speaking I am not doing this write up for the sake of the content. I am doing it because I really need someone to invest in my business. I need nothing less than 2m for a start. I don't even know that such topic will be brought today for us here, but I have already started asking people and making enquiry on how to get money for my novels.
NO WAY FOR BANK LOAN
I tried asking about bank loan and the answer that I got scared me and I promised myself that I will never go for bank loan. For some kind of business that is moving and making profit everyday, one can get a bank loan. But for novels that I know will only sell once in a year especially first term, and after that it will wait for next year again. If I mistakenly take a loan from the bank, it means that I can't pay back when the money will be needed. So I totally surrendered that aspect and told myself that I can't go there.
