Forum Got Kudos

Post by Martin Hash » Wed Nov 11, 2020 12:05 pm

:snooty: I got an email from an agent who says our forum is “excellent,” and she would like to know how much we’ll charge to write 500-word blog entries. (That contain a couple links, not specified to what?)

Is this one of those Nigerian prince scams? I mean, that sounds pretty cool. It seems weird to randomly get an e-mail from an "agent", though.

Yeah, I didn’t respond. She obviously makes money off the links.

On the plus side, it’s probably genuine because it wasn’t flagged as spam like virtually everything in my mailbox, and the writing seemed White.

:lol:

Seems like it could be a good way to dox us if any of us got paid directly. You could make a digital sweatshop, with us generating content and you could get a few dollars here and there to get coffee in the mornings.

Looking at the link, I think she was probably talking about your main blog. I can't imagine any professional, a woman especially, coming to the forum and saying our ramblings are worth monetizing. It's the digital equivalent of several monkeys throwing crap at each other.
