RE: Here's A Good Reason To Not Invest In PALNet
blogs just don't have a lot of value
I had to mention this somewhere else, just the other day:
One big unwritten rule in the entertainment industry: Never sell yourself short.
Picture yourself strumming a guitar in the park. It's Saturday, busy day, people everywhere. They're dropping change, a few bills, enjoying your performance. Are you counting the money as it rolls in? Are you going to stop mid-song because you've earned your quota? Then you go again the next Saturday. You earn more. Then you go again the next weekend, and earn less. Did you earn too much on the best day? No. You did your thing, and whatever happened, happened.
Would someone who released their first album expect to go platinum? If they did, would they say they earned too much?
I realize many of you out there think you're just throwing random words up onto a screen and have nothing to do with the arts and entertainment industry, but you really should pay attention to the first three letters in the word 'article' and think about what they spell..
I'm honestly not trying to sell myself short, or trying to sell anyone else short.
I just think I have a lot more to offer than I currently am.
The words that I write that have the most value will be code.
But you know that's common, right? We hear it all the time, or different variations of the same thing. People don't see the value in their work, or the others around them. We should probably change that way of thinking. It's much like saying your merchandise is cheap. Even the hotdog salesman on the corner will say his stuff is quality and worth two bucks.
Ah, you know that's true.
We get trapped into thinking what we do doesn't matter so we better go be good little slaves to that corporation over there who's putting in the real work.
Right. And if you don't see value in yourself, others won't. You'd never see a busker on the street earning much if they were playing and talking about how much they suck the entire time... unless it was comedy.
Dear @nonameslefttouse
unfortunatelly I do agree with mentioned sentence: "blogs just don't have a lot of value"
The only problem is that others do sell themself short and market is full of cheap (and sometimes real good) bloggers. So current (and growing) fierce competition in this field will always bring price and value of bloggers down.

So you're knocking down some of the value of your investment. Interesting.
