I didn't find this video very easy to follow. This was a waste of my time.

If it's a grant why would they need tax returns?

This is a good video... a lot of content summarized rather well. Thanks for posting, looking forward to watching your future videos. There is a lot of average stuff out there on YouTube, but I think this is great material. How long have you been creating videos? I just started and am trying to pick up ideas from other users with content rich channels (like yours). Any tips?

hey hey! Have you considered the intellitus cash system (just google it)? Ive heard some great things about it and my friend made crazy amounts of money with it.

@psoemetry I know. It's definitely not impossible but there are a lot of web sites and that claim that it's easy as filling out a piece of paper and if you send them $30 they'll tell you how to do it. After getting the grant writer your business then has to pass a crap load of qualification. Not impossible just very very unlikely that your business will qualify. Good luck I hope things work out for you.

@headsupkid01 I have not been successful in finding a grant writer. They are expensive and then if you don't get the grant you are just out of money. This is indeed very difficult to do yourself. Not impossible, just very very difficult.

@headsupkid01 Thank you

@Foaman It's copied and pasted. Getting grants are very hard, You can't just fill out some paper work and get $5000 These people want you to give them money for them to tell you how to get the grants. It's a scam just like the guy in the riddler jacket.

@FoamanI keep trying to post what site but it won't let me. But it's a Offical government web site for the US government.

[headsupkid01]

@Foaman That's straight off the Government website

[headsupkid01]

Of course that goes though!
