Biography

I am an unemployed college student with Asperger's syndrome. I am attempting to launch my own online business; my main difficulty is lack of funds to promote it. If you can help, I will try to "pay it forward" when I have the chance.

My Purpose

http://squidoogeek.webs.com/ is my attempt to create my own online business. I've tried to take advantage of "free" promotions but none of them work. This attempt to raise money to promote my business is a last resort; I've tried everything else. I believe everybody needs a helping hand sometimes so I swore that once I got my business going, I would "pay it forward".

Who I am

Posted on Sun 27 Sep, 03:43 am

Well, duh.
I asked in the forum how in the world I find this journal-thing they were talking about; and there it is right on top. Shows how dumb I can be sometimes.
But usually I'm not that ditzy. When I'm tired, I sometimes do things I regret in the morning, so I try to get off the Internet when I start to yawn.
Anyway, about me: Although I'm a college student, I'm asking for help with tuition or the insane cost of books. Although I'm what is often called an "Aspie," I'm not asking for donations on those grounds. No; when it comes to charitable giving, I believe in giving someone a hand up, not a hand out. I feel better about giving if I know it's to help someone out of a temporary fix or help them improve themselves and I bet you do, too.
Which is why I'm trying to launch my online business, Squidoogeek.com. Well, technically it's already launched; I just need money to promote it. You see, I'm unemp >>>

Description: I am an unemployed college student with the developmental disability known as Asperger's syndrome. I have searched for a job without much success, since many employers seem to hesitate to hire someone with my disability. However, I hope to find my way around this problem by starting my own online business. To be honest, I would rather not ask for handouts but my main difficulty in this venture is startup funds. Most banks do not like to make loans to unemployed college students. All I need is $100 to cover expenses. If you can help, I will attempt to "pay it forward" when I have the ability to do so. Thank you in advance.

Hello and welcome, I wish you the best of luck.  You know MicroGiving
was promoted simply by getting friends and members from forums to
spread the word.  There is nothing better than word of mouth
promotions.  I promote fund raisers here on MG but also for disabled
and injured animals.  Drop me a note, maybe there is something you
haven't tried?
