Have a little look at this. Most of you will have had the experience of the client telling you that you will gain wonderful publicity by working for them...as long as you do it for free.

It's absolutely true.

So many people, especially on the Internet, make money off the backs of young, stupid writers looking for "any" publicity.

Hey Pelao, I saw that on the FredMiranda forums, you hang out there?

Hey kps,

I do indeed haunt the FM forums, though I did not see this video there. I picked it up from the blog of a copywriter.

I don't post much on FM, but it's a great place to pick up really useful info. Lot's of pros hang out there.
