Hello, I’m ‘Scratch’, and I have an idea for creating a business starting from nothing, starting right now. I can’t use my personal cell phone, car, emails, home internet or electricity. I’m walking to work to post and create accounts, hoping to build a community who is interested and wants to support me. I’ll take requests like cooking, challenges, fitness, whatever makes people interested. If you have any questions, suggestions to make it harder or want to follow yourself, leave a comment or message me. for some reason I can’t post anywhere so if you find this, reach out!

      mf described basic goods and services lol. But no, Im not asking for things or donations, Just people willing to follow along, and to help spread the word, get this creative project off the ground while while I’m stuck at public level availability

      Ryan gives himself advantages like a phone or a bike. This is closer to a digital/more challenging version of the content he does. And not one series, but the basis of the brand, so I can do things funded by the concept, not it being the entire concept like his.

    I’m confused…

    Your “business” is asking people to follow you on social media?

    That’s…

    That’s not a business. That’s not even a job

      They’re going to play “Homeless Simulator” in their free time and want to know if anyone else would like to watch.

      Yeah I agree; I’m not quitting my job or anything like that, I just want to see how much of a following I can get. I want to build a community around it. Maybe business wasn’t the right phrasing, more so side project. It’s this creative idea I’ve had in my head, to start it from as close to nothing as possible, that I just needed to scratch.

          Absolutely. i want the networking and the financials and hardships and successes all to be public. Show what a good idea and access to even just a library can do for the creative field. For as much hate as I’ve gotten on this post, which is currently my only connection to the public right now, I stand behind it.

      I don’t have a phone number so google accounts, Facebook and Instagram don’t work, I don’t have a reputable email so other social media is out, and reddit blocks all posts, probably because of the proton email. I’m just trying to reach 1-2 people so I can get help getting this idea off the ground

        You want volunteers to run a business for you?

        One that you can’t even be bothered to sign up for a gmail account?

        What exactly are you bringing to offer here?

          “Can’t be bothered” isn’t accurate. It requires a phone number to create a gmail, something I don’t have access to. And not run it for me, people who can help spread the word. I’m not looking to just throw this out there and have it happen, Just starting from as close to nothing as possible, and looking for ways too grow it. Eventually being able to make instagram posts or sponsorships, youtube ad revenue. I can’t do any of that without people interested in following along with the journey

              Great movie, however, I’m trying to start from nothing. Show what it can be like start a channel and brand from not even a phone or camera but free resources. Network, and financials and business ideas all in the open for people to see. Create a community for people to watch the starts of a business. I think that’s a cool concept, but I get that’s not for everybody.
