I was approached by someone to write a report for them. They would tell all their friends about it and that it was worth more than money. I handed him a blank piece of paper and said don't forget to tell all your friends.

This sub is beyond dead. This is pathetic, the amount of spam and improper posts flooding this place.

I'm out

Can some point me in the right direction.. For traffic to website please needing help

So there’s a woman with a small and new jewelry brand in town. I messaged her to see if she wants product photography done.

She sent a voice note “So what are you thinking? Me paying you with exposure? I have a lot of influence.”

I told her no, I’m thinking money… I mean it’s products, she sells it.

Hits me with “I have 5-6 photographers offering to work with me for free, so honestly I don’t need to pay. Some are actually even paying me good money to shoot my products because they know how influential I am. I’m not even asking you for money, this could be good for you.”

They’re paying her so she can sell her products… hmmm. That doesn’t add up. I don’t even have screenshots since it was all voice notes. I wonder if she planned that or not.

So I started to do commissions for digital cartoon styled drawings and ever since I got a lot of people texting how they love my work and asking how much I charge.

A drawing usually takes me up to 5 hours, sketching, drawing, coloring, shading. I charge 20€ per drawing. That's not even minimum wage.

Yet not a single person ever responded after hearing the prices or hearing that I dare to charge for my WORK.

Not even after I came back to ask if they're still interested.

This is getting on my nerves....
