Updated 9/8/2019

iwriter recently blocked my main account with username Benard10. I learned that it was part of a widespread on writers whether good or bad. They referred to it as a "Sweeping Ban." And since they own the platform, there's nothing I could do about that. They are the ones to decide who they want to have on board of who they don't want to have around.

It's totally unfair for them to do this to honest and hardworking writers who have been with them all along.

If you would like to work with me, kindly reach me via my contact us page.

Benard10 Writer on iWriter: What Happened To His Account?




Hello guys, my iwriter account has been suspended. I have been in touch with iWriter and they've said that the ban is permanent. I lost my account through what was termed as a "sweeping ban" which was done indiscriminately affecting millions of writers.

In other words, whether you were a good or bad writer but they didn't like you (for reasons best known to them), they just got your account banned. Yup, just like that.

Here's a screenshot of the message they sent me.


If you're a client who has been working with me and would like us to continue working together, kindly get in touch with me. You can contact me by filling out this contact form or via Skype.


Thanks, hope to hear from you soon. Find out more on this ban and the best way forward here.

3 Simple Small Business Ideas For Nairobi People



Nairobi is a city full of opportunities for the hard working entrepreneur. However, not all those who launch their businesses succeed. The market is quite competitive either in Eastlands (areas like Umjoa, Imara Daima, Buruburu) or Westlands (Kilimani, Kileleshwa or Loresho).

Having made such observations,  we were able to compile some three creative business ideas that can be done in this city with much ease. These include:

(1) Wine/Spirits
There is a lot of money to be made in this industry. All you need to do is to buy a stock of wines and spirits, hire a small room, get the right licenses and market vigorously. Target audience: Young students in colleges and Universities.
Budget: Ksh100,000 – Ksh500,000

(2)Social Media Consultancy
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin have taken the world quite literary. If you are an expert at social media matters you can start a consultancy firm and offer your services to other small business owners.
Budget: Ksh50,000 – Ksh500,000

(3)Careers Expo Business
Are you a motivational speaker? Can you inspire someone to make wise decisions in life? Well, then you’re sitting on a gold-mine. Think about starting your career/motivational expo business. You can even package your message in CDs and sell. Or even you can start a motivational blog. You can also visit schools and colleges to offer paid advice.
Budget: Ksh50,000 – Ksh500,000

We hope that this guide has inspired you to think outside the box. If you were looking for good business ideas in Nairobi, I hope this referral article has quenched your thirst for information.
