Troublesome Client Alert!
Here’s a quick tip. If you’d like to hold onto your blogging sanity, don’t attempt to work for someone who says…
“$10 a blog, I need 5-10 Blogs. Please respond with samples. Serious only Thanks.”
It’s a serious pet peeve of mine when clients call blog posts, “Blogs” - right away you know they’re going to be trouble. Why? Because obviously if they don’t know the difference between a blog and a blog post, you’re going to have to walk them through just what a blog is; every tiny aspect. As the client they should already know this stuff. This job will be a lot o’ extra work.
Apply for jobs like this at your own risk.
Thanks to Deb for the send - it was a nice morning laugh.

You gotta love someone who wants only serious responses but can’t be bothered to do a little research about what it is he wants or provide any meaningful explanation of his project.
This is sort of off topic, but I am convinced that a good percentage of Craigslist job postings are really spammers trolling for email addresses and other info that they can sell (most people list their full name, address and phone number on their resume).
There are some excellent jobs on Craiglist - or there used to be, it seems extra shoddy as of late. I’ve scored $500 base blog gigs on there in the past though. However, many are indeed total junk. This one included. “Serious” ha. So darn serious they’re not sure about blog terms. Sad.
maybe he just needs one post per blog
