Win my trust, demonstrate to me that you know what you are talking about and that you do what you say you will do when you say you will do it.

The more you do, the more you make my point, that for any INDIVIDUAL investor (no demonstrable history or experience buying notes.

Demonstrate - and offer - value to the investor by helping them with tasks they don't want to do.

The key is that you would have to demonstrate that intent if ever audited.
