How do I ask for help without sounding awkward?

[Zerogreens]

I am in a lot of financial trouble right now and need assistance. This is my plan in getting help; publish a document of ideas I submitted to a crypto team and get donations from people who feel I deserve to be tipped for my efforts.


I submitted the document in question over a year ago and recently the team has told me I was free to share it with other communities because they were too busy to work on it. So I am considering dropping the document here and seek donations as some form of reward for the time I spent working on the document.

I have shared this with 3 other people from different teams but their reactions have been similar, 'it's a great idea but we can't work on it'.

I think the ideas I present in this document shouldn't be allowed to die, I am hoping that lots of people after reading will think the same and possibly start doing something with it.


You can send me a message if you would like to advice me in private or review the document. Thanks

I really hope I did not sounding awkward!

You aren't. I believed contacting the elites members of this forum will be a great idea. Take time to go through the forum search for legendary members with positive trust reviews or forum administrative. If that don't get successful look for angel investors and work on the idea yourself who knows you might be the next Steve job

Is not awkward, the problem as I see it is that you have an idea and little else. Ideas are 100 for 1 dollar. What is valuable is to have a committed team, investors, prospective partners, and experienced people that have a record of success as well as, probably the most important thing, something that will prevent others from copying it or defeating you in getting to the market with better resources.

Sadly, and idea alone is worth almost nothing.

Bundle it as a white paper and sell it to a group/individual looking to orchestrate a coin sale. Don't ask too many questions regarding their intentions or legitimacy, or you may feel some guilt...

That would have worked last year.

It seems to me that publishing a document of ideas and hoping to get tipped has a very low probability of success. If you are in financial trouble, I suggest that you look for a more reliable way out of it.

If being awkward bugs you, the root of the problem is in your state of mind or well-being.

Big examples are typos and grammatical errors, people will think of something that was badly written differently. Most "mature" or "educated" audiences wont judge you based on small errors, but based on the message (except for totally incomprehensible context).
Those who frequently "lol'd" at those "small" details can be considered as immature or just really stupid and you need to train yourself to easily disregard those type of reactions (and thinking of those kind of reactions).

Directly asking for donations in every document is bad however (not to your reputation but to the result), you can change the context of the donation message into something neutral or positive like "Did it help? Buy me a coffee: 1btcaddress" or something similar.
Use your Signature if it's available.

This will make you sound awkward /s

If you're really stripped of cash, you could consider starting a business. Josh Tolley (a top business coach) talks about people he or his team has helped start their own business from nothing. For example, one guy had no money but he was a good painter. They helped him make a deal with a local restaurant to give away their coupons to every tourist he did a painting for, and in exchange, the restaurant gave him a few hundred bucks to buy his painting supplies. He made a decent living after that. Another guy went to the dollar tree, bought some cheap stencils, some spray paint, and went around the neighborhood asking people if he could paint their house number on the street in front so it would be easier to identify their house, he did really well. You can look Josh up on Youtube or go to JoshTolley.com. If on Youtube, specifically look for business-type keywords, because he also hosts a show and has guests on about various other topics.

All to say, if you really need money, there's a way to get it - entrepreneurship. Maybe your paper of ideas can collect some donations, maybe, but it doesn't sound like a great idea for sustainable growth, or for immediate cash... unless you find a team that's willing to make it happen - in which case you'll probably need to find money to pay the team first.

Hope that helps,

Post your article in public and get the feedback of the viewers. The feedback of the 3 individuals from different team does not really represent the goodness of the article. So, post the article in public and then get the feedback of the community or the viewers. Then get another team to consider your article and the feedback of the communitu if it is good and if not you may do some editing in it.

Take also some time to be motivated by taking some research on individuals who became rich after some time from the doing of their work up to where it eventually attracted and start earning through opportunity given by the people who love his/her work.

If you really want some help regarding your problem, you should not mind if you’re sounding awkward. Thats my opinion because in my experience, like you im always afraid of sounding awkward and in the end is i dont ask for help. You should be straightforward. Don’t mind what others will say.
