Asking for a friend
Asking for a friend
A call for superheros — your time to make it count for us is now!
I launched a startup and am a little shy to ask for help. Why, you say? Because I try to not be “that guy.”
Some time ago, I got an instant message from a high school classmate. Naturally, I got intrigued by what’s it about because I hadn’t heard a word from him for 18 years since graduation.
Without hesitation, I quickly opened the letter. It was addressed to me by my first name and looked personal.
He was pleasant, asked what I had been doing, and reminisced school years. And then boom, all that warm feeling and excitement blew up in my face.
It was just about him trying to get me to like his Facebook page. I have followed every other stupid page, no matter how close or distant the person was or how cheap the ask was. As long as the project resonated with me. But not this time. Because I felt deceived by his “sincerity.”
What would you have done in my situation? Leave a comment.
But anyway, here we are. I am, trying to not be that guy, and I’m about to find out if blogging and being honest work better. Here it goes…

Asking for a friend
It depends on what he has in his website, I deed. I like the more honest approach of "Hey, I need your help with this endeavor" or if you'd go the other route, at least do the warm up few weeks before.
I don't talk to my friends too much, but on occasions I need their help and I always feel a bit shitty doing so. However, on most occasions I do the like button or share, as it such a small thing for me to do, but could do alot for them.
I even watch the adds on my favorite YouTube channels for at least 20 seconds so they'd get that coin.
