TOP QUESTION: I am not getting anyone to help me. What is the problem?
First, please realize that it is obviously not possible for every posting to receive help. No possible
way to change that. We have a large group of people who help others every single day, but
there are going to be those postings that do not receive help There are a couple things you can
do to help your posting however. Please look over your current posting. You need to realize that
you are basically trying to get someone to help you, someone that you do not know and that
does not know you, through words. Based on this fact, it should go without saying that a posting
that is short, demanding, grammatically hard to read, rude or is strictly asking for cash without
giving a good reason for it has basically a zero chance of receiving help. You need to spend
some time writing your posting. You don't have to be Shakespeare, but you do need to basically
'Sell' your problem. Be honest and tell the reader what it is exactly you are needing and why.
You need to make sure your city is stated in your posting. You may have a wonderfully worded
posting, but if someone does not know where you are geographically, they will pass you by. If
you are not happy with your current posting, contact us and we will help you replace it.
Secondly, if your posting has been up for a while and is way down on the list in your city, please
re-register and repost. Getting your posting near the top is an obvious help. Our goal is to get you
help and having a well worded posting is key. Finally, if your posting is a masterpiece, you have
your city listed, you are not strictly asking for cash and your need is perfectly viable and you are
still not receiving help, we have to resign ourselves to the fact that not all receive help. While we
do hear from people who are frustrated, angry and occasionally say harsh things about us....
please know that we are not going anywhere because the thousands upon thousands of
people that do find help on 2Hands may not have if we were not here.
