This article by Josh Kaufman is the most important thing you’ll read today.
Especially if you’re struggling with making money online and need to ask for help.
I get emails every day asking things like:
“Hello! [Insert life story.] What should I do?”
“I’m thinking about [action]. What do you think?”
Those are bad questions, and I’ve given up responding to them. (Though now I might start responding with just a link to Josh’s article 😜 )
Josh provides templates and guidelines for asking better questions, based on the 5 different types of information you might be seeking…
- Asking for Information
- Asking for Clarification
- Asking for Help
- Asking for Agreement
- Asking for Advice
For example, here’s how he recommends asking for help…
“I’m trying to A, and I’m having trouble. So far, I’ve tried B with result C, and D with result E. Now I’m stuck. Any guidance?”
Ask better questions, get better answers.
