[nabs-l] Letting know of desire to colaborate but with compensation?

[Joe]

One way to let people know you're looking for compensation is to set up a
website and point people to it for more details about the services you can
offer. It lets them know you're a legitimate business and worthy of fair
compensation for what you can do. The website alone will not be what brings
in the money. It's how you leverage it.

Herardo,

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time of finding employment with
compensation.

However, I realize you have potential, and that you are being discriminated
for having a disability.

I don’t know how the work and blindness culture of attitudes on blindness
works in Mexico.

Your approach to write emails to offer your services may work, but I see no
way to ask indirectly for something that should be agreed on like payment
for your services. I see no way around it. You are offering a valued
service, and companies should be paying for them. You value your skills,
obviously. The problem seems to be that businesses do not value services if
they come from blind people.

This is discriminatory, and I don’t know what you can do to avoid or address
it in your country. But there is no way to suggest that you want to get
payed for the work you do except to directly state you charge for it. That
is the only way you show you value your time and skills. Communicating your
needs to the company is how you show them you mean business. The only way to
assert yourself in this case is to offer a service others are willing to pay
for.

this is not an easy battle, and i wish you luck.

Regards,

Antonio

especially since the blindness culture is in diapers! thus I wonder if I
write EMails and offer my services there, how would I clarify in the EMail
indirectly, that I'd like to colaborate with these companies or
organizations, but with compensation, rather than as a volunteer? I've
written in the past EMails like these, but maybe when I put in the Email
that I'd like compensation or salary or whatever you want to call it, that's
what might scare off these potential people who might say yes otherwise?
Thanks for ideas; I really really want to do something! and if the Internet
is a possibility, why not! I won't want to clutter the list with details,
but if anyone wants to get in contact, my Email is open.
