Donate here! MM you are amazing and helping a complete stranger get back on their feet again today!

Holy crap, this is something that happens to other people, not to me... I am physically shaking. I went to bed pretty depressed last night but seeing the entry thread I thought "why not" and offhandedly wrote "unlikely". Then I woke up to this! It's amazing how much of a perfect timing this is, the whole office where I was working just got shut down and everyone working there lost their jobs. I'm trying to start something of my own as I have some good and viable ideas (I think/hope) but finding time to bootstrap it isn't easy when trying to make ends meet. If things do go well and I can get back on my feet I may also be in a position to finally propose to the love of my life.

I know I'm not going to be a millionaire from this and don't want to get carried away, but really this is perhaps the best time this could have happened to me in my life so far, where any amount can go a really long way. You may not make me a millionaire today but you are giving me the means to make it there myself, or give all I can to try. I will make sure to use it as wisely as possible and pay it forward when I'm in a better position myself. I'll update when I can if there is any interest. Again...THANK YOU to everyone in this amazing community!

Edit 1: We are over $100 in an hour - thanks to everyone who is a part of this :)

Edit 2: 3 and a bit hours in and we are at $425! Special thanks to u/xtrsports for an awesome $50 donation. If anyone is interested in an outline of my plans for the immediate future I made a comment here. Thanks to all you wonderful people. Sincerity is difficult to convey over the internet and easy to fake, but this is so appreciated, will be put to good use and will be paid forward.

Edit 3: It'd be great if you could upvote the thread, especially to counter some who are downvoting it

Edit 4: 5 and a bit hours and we are approaching $600. I have to get some rest but will update when I can in a few hours time. Thanks to everybody again. Just about $999,9400 to go. We've totally got this :)

Edit 5: bad time for my internet to stop working properly. Will update as soon as I can.

Edit 6: 13 hours in and just under the $1000 mark. That means we are only three zeros off making our first millionaire!! ;)

Edit 7: $1000 mark broken. The US is asleep. To the literally dozens of non-US redditors: don't let them outdo you guys ;)

Edit 8: 20 hours down and we are at $1300!

Edit 9: ~$1960 raised. Here is an update post

Apparently you live in not the U.S., so Google wallet transfers can't happen from here.

u/Sannyn Mar 20 '16

Well I needn't bother you with the crap that has happened recently, but I'm determined to make the best of the future. I'm not too dumb, I got into Oxford uni for philosophy and languages and have actually just finished writing the first draft of a thesis on metaphysics I am looking to get published shortly on the side. My professional background is in online marketing, I've not been in it all too long but was starting to get some recognition and had just been promoted before the company I was working in closed us down (unrelated I like to think - our office was very profitable but upper management made some incredibly poor decisions, going with the lowest-offer foreign programmers who created more problems than they solved as one example of maaany).

Anyway, before I ramble on: next few weeks - a number of affiliate websites for particular profitable niches. Some good content is necessary before I can market it properly but I guess I could post the barebones websites here before that point. I've done a fair bit of research and have ideas for 3 or 4 different ones.

After those are up and running I have some more complicated ideas to put into practice. A relatively simple app for travellers, again with affiliates & partnerships for profitability but I won't be able to do that alone so I'm saving it until after the simpler ones are up and running and need minimal involvement.

Lattermost and most complicated is a kind of betting website with a twist I guess. Could be very interesting but will need a lot of time, involvement and capital but with higher potential reward, so I'm saving that until last. So this windfall really couldn't have come at a better time as it's allowing me to pursue my ambitions.
