Don't worry, I have people that will help me, yeah I might have approached things wrong but I am totally new to this whole Crowd Funding thing and forums so obviously ruffled feathers, rang alarm bells and all that. 4 Pines donated $50 to me today and more is coming from others so I'll just go...
Cheers for all the advice, I am taking a list of all the useful angles and points people have made so far. Some of which you mentioned I've already been through..But thank you! Greatly appreciated. It doesn't matter what I say people won't seem to understand the amount of effort I am putting in...
Thanks to the sensible people for advice, cheers to the thick people that skip over the fact that I've been applying for work OF ALL KINDS and still am whilst volunteering and doing this crowd funding... I spend most of my time applying and looking for work. As for the fool saying I shouldn't be...
I read everything everyone has to say here about this, how about you read what I say and understand what I am trying to get through to you....
- I am SERIOUSLY LOOKING FOR WORK AND IT IS DEPRESSING ME WITH SO MUCH REJECTION
- I have addressed the matter of there not being any incentive for...
I came here on the advice of well established brewers..saying I should post my http://www.gofundme.com/d7gh7g
They said there are some lovely people and there are a bunch of rude ones too.. Seems to be true.
This is not just a dream, this is my life.
Whether you believe me or not I am doing all I can all at once! I cared for my Grandmother for years and went through some intense problems with family and being homeless... I have just clawed my way back into existence and am now throwing myself out there for ANYTHING! I am applying for quite a...
Well there is a wishlist which tells people of what I need to obtain.
I will be using the money for equipment and ingredients because at the moment I can't get any paid work. I volunteer in a brewery and soon will be in two other breweries but that still doesn't give me any money. I've had...
YES! I am being serious but as I've already pointed out this is not the only approach I have at the moment. I am looking for work furiously, I am volunteering, I am selling my possessions as well as using GoFundMe a crowd funding tool to help as well....all to get this to work for me! I will be...
People do have the ability to ignore or say just no...their wording is what gives off the 'attitude'. If crowd funding works for others why not try this angle too? Maybe you all should! ^_^
I've spoken with the Uni. of Ballarat and it is as you say difficult to get into with out a lot of educational backing. But on the advice of Andrew Tweddell I was told if I can get a lot experience in breweries and also get references from home brew comps/ home brew shops that I'd have a much...
I've just joined because I have never liked the forum format. But on the advice of some highly regarded craft beer industry people they suggested here as a way to reach out to people.. Also I was warned there is a bunch of people with bad attitudes too.. Not saying you are @StalkingWilbur, you...
It's called Crowd Funding, look it up! I don't want donations so I can drink...I want contributions to help my career path....and there is beer in it for those that contribute...so I can't see how I'm just asking for something for nothing..
If anyone wants to employ me or offer advice other than my already intense efforts to find a job...or advice with anything go for it. But is it really necessary to act the way you are? REALLY?
