Advertising doesn't really place much value on straight-faced business business types-- they like the writers to be "over-the-top"--it makes them seem more "creative", which is what they sell to prospective clients--

Nother thing to remember is that magazine and newspaper freelancers work hard but don't get paid very much--In advertising, you can right the same article for the same periodical and get payed $2000-4000, even if they don't print it--

And best of all, Fred, I can show you how to use that article about rugs and cats to make $10,000, $20,000, or even more!! In your spare time!!! And I'm not kidding, either!!!!!
