The Daunting Task of Being a DansDealer Among the Simple Folk

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

CV, something tells me that your liklier to give out fish than to give fishing lessons. Hence your frustration when Dan and other bloggers break down the complexity of churning to the first grader level.

This whole thread reminds me of a joke:

A lawyer and doctor are sitting together by a wedding and everyone keeps coming over to the doctor and asking about this ache and pain, and that issue etc.

The doctor turns to the lawyer at some point, and asks, "Why is no one coming over to you?"

The lawyer replies, "They used to, but I would have my secretary send them a bill the next morning, and people stopped coming over for the "free" advice."

The doctor loves the idea and the next morning he tells his billing secretary to bill so-and-so's insurance, and send them a bill for the co-pay etc etc. The doctor is so excited about his new way of doing things, that he himself starts checking the mail to see people's responses.

A few days later he gets a letter in the mail from the lawyer.

Its a bill for services rendered.

We all know the main reason bloggers give away the fish and it has nothing to do with helping others.

If you give someone a fish hopefully they understand that you don’t go blabbing to everyone that you are giving away free fish. That is the first step in teaching them to fish.

You know there is a username Daniel right?

sorry man, my auto correct does that. I suppose i missed over that one.

The problem is that people are constantly forgetting HOW to fish once they've learned it. Practice makes perfect but ignorance is a pain!

@samkey you can do whatever you'd like with my name in people's profiles. Look mmerms and unique have...and im more than glad to help. Though i might not know the right answers. But one thing i do know, you need 250 posts to get an avatar. בסדר

And what of the bloggers (Gary, myself, etc) that blogged for years before cc marketing came onto the scene?

When you or any other blogger has referral links plastered all over the place, linked in almost every post, push only the cards that get referrals it will be hard to convince someone the “main” reason is not financial gain.

If there was no financial gain I believe you and other bloggers would still be blogging because it is something you love to do. I do not believe you would be doing it 15 or more hours a day if there was no financial gain.

There were wayyyyy fewer bloggers just a few years ago

And what exactly is the problem with that?

No offense to you. But it still irks me that certain bloggers knowingly didn't publicize the 100k plat offer where many like me and my wife could have gotten had I known a week earlier.

[Dan]

Huh?
It was killed within 24 hours of it being publicized.
And why didn't you get it when it was?

My guess is you/they enjoyed what you were doing. Not sure what that has to do with what is going on now.

Because I applied for it a week before it was publicized. 2 cards.
