So today I came across a big account on Twitter; they are a European-based digital artist, and I decided to contact them about a ridiculous but mind-blowing business idea that could potentially benefit the two of us. I did my research on this account, and after a while, I decided that it would be great to chat them up.

 I had never pitched an online business idea to anyone on the internet before, and I was skeptical, but the opportunity was simply too good to pass up. *"What if I get ignored, or the person steals my idea and then gets the services of another person and then build on my ideas to make money for themselves alone?"*  


This is what I thought when I sent them the pitch, but the deed was already done; if I lose, it means I did my best and that was it. After I sent them this text, they did not respond, and I was wondering if I did not send my pitch well or if they were not impressed. 

I gave up when they did not respond, but after about a day, they did. My conviction was correct. First, the account's owner was not discriminatory; I tried to judge their character before messaging them, and it turned out to be correct.


 So I spent several hours explaining my ideas and how it would work, but they still did not believe it was possible. This person was not a native English speaker; they were most likely German or Spanish, as evidenced by their less-than-clear response, but they understood what I was pitching to them. 


For me, I already imagined what this opportunity meant for me: I could have a larger job opportunity that would likely take 5 to 6 hours of my time per day and could be extremely rewarding, but I need this person to accept my ideas and then agree that we become partners. So they assigned me a task to complete, and even though it was stressful, 

##### Working for free isn't so bad 


I needed to do it to demonstrate that I wanted this gig. Although my task still needs to be verified by an AI algorithm, the individual appeared pleased with what I had delivered to them. 

So I have been waiting for them to tell me if they have given me the opportunity or not, and this is probably the longest phase. it means I have to wait, and sometimes waiting can be hard when you're anxious



##### A win is still a win, even with no incentives yet. 


First and foremost, I had no idea I would come this far: from responding to my direct message to giving me a chance and listening to my ideas. I know it could still go wrong and I would lose out, but it is been great to pitch my services to complete strangers and have them respond. 

One thing was clear: my pitching skills are not as bad as I thought, and there are people out there who are willing to listen to thoughtful proposals.



 Life opportunities are like this; sometimes you have to try, and most of the time you will get it wrong, which is disappointing.

Strangers are the most difficult people to pitch to; sometimes they are your prospective employers; you do not want to appear timid or overly forward; instead, you want to strike a balance and demonstrate professionalism.

 ## Trust is another issue. 


The world is obviously a scammy and dangerous place, and you will probably encounter more scams before you find legitimate stuff. People are more cautious than they used to be, which means they are more nervous, especially when meeting someone for the first time. 

In my previous post, I discussed networking; however, it is not always obvious how difficult it can be.

 I am hoping I can pull this business through, there are some exciting benefits if everything goes to plan, and if not, I will continue making effort and putting in the work, I guess I will eventually work out, but for now, I am chasing this opportunity, because it could really do a lot for me.
