I'll rarely offer a contest for my own self-promotion but I usually don't ask for my contestants to do much other than support my work or answer trivia, which is lots of fun ^^O.Pelaezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953775840900714990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832916799814647375.post-20083199534843206412011-01-20T17:42:20.775+01:002011-01-20T17:42:20.775+01:00Thank goodness for this post.

I hate seeing people entering contests like this or getting pulled into the whole "we can give you a chance to be published in our magazine" gimmick. It also hurts a lot when people sell their work dirt-cheap. I look at some and the people can't possibly making back the price of materials, let alone paying for their time or factoring in the cost of living. It hurts that they aren't respecting themselves and it hurts the art business.SaraLynnArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426885765096554605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832916799814647375.post-89114840918420940222011-01-20T17:29:09.698+01:002011-01-20T17:29:09.698+01:00this flowchart was created by Jessica Hische (http...this flowchart was created by Jessica Hische (http://jessicahische.com): http://jessicahische.com/spendstoomuchtimeinternetting/?p=780<br />i think it would be nice to backlink her on this - just for integrity :)<br />it's indeed a very helpful guideline. i will print it out to steadily remember myself...<br />but the constant problem will remain: yo will always find somebody doing it for free. the only hope is that people will consider their abilities and stop to sell themselves below value. which has to do with self esteem as well...Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241911057229844790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832916799814647375.post-67884170783498897832011-01-20T17:27:06.318+01:002011-01-20T17:27:06.318+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241911057229844790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832916799814647375.post-71153766027546933322011-01-20T15:24:33.809+01:002011-01-20T15:24:33.809+01:00I do totally agree with you.

Much better for both, my bank account and my self esteem.Frau Kirschvogelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912371441156568159noreply@blogger.com
