When such people think about competition may be they are not sure in their ability to create something unique and win peole's hearts.CreditThinkerhttp://www.creditcardbest.com/Site-Map-1175335-page.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22003236.post-52839654663987151212007-06-02T18:58:00.000-07:002007-06-02T18:58:00.000-07:00Virginia, it's not that people are making money doing online ads. These are ads for writing projects. People put out bids, then sabotage the ad so no one else can look at it, reducing the field of applicants.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, what you said is right. People get so narrow in their vision, they miss the big picture then wonder why they fail.Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15540194237184273299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22003236.post-85384872069903049132007-06-02T16:00:00.000-07:002007-06-02T16:00:00.000-07:00Wait. People can make money doing online ads? And they sabotage others trying to do the same?<BR/><BR/>Egad. <BR/><BR/>People are so micro at times. If they could view things with more of a macro vision maybe they'd see that the internet is worldwide (hello!) and as more people get wired more ads will need to be written. <BR/><BR/>Sheesh.<BR/><BR/>They're really sabotaging folks? Lordy. I'll just keep on with my creative work and starving, thanks. <BR/><BR/>Fascinating stuff, Andy.

I was angry about the whole fake flag issue, but much more in a "why do people suck" way than an "oh no" way. I agree that many of these 'writers' focus on job boards and forget about self marketing and the good old fashioned query letter. That's what gets me -- there's how many magazines out there, and the fake flaggers and some other supposed writers whine about the lack of work. Why not just send out queries to one of the bazillion publications out there; why not send out 100? <BR/><BR/>Very observant post...I'm doing a link up today..And since I just keep coming here I'm gonna have to link ya. If you're not cool with that just let me know. I always like to let people know when I link them.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11619288792228194391noreply@blogger.com
