Cheap

The top .50cent post has been open all day.
No one wants to spend time writing a 100 word post to advertise on their blog for a cheapskate.
Hmmm, ok, maybe too harsh a word. But I wonder what the other bloggers are thinking.

Nearly every evening at 9pm there are fresh opportunity listings. You can count on being glued to the computer for a bit because all the bloggers are trying to snap the open ops.
Usually by 9:02, if you haven't managed to grab an op by your good graces or by your good cable speed (forget dial up and dsl, we'll beat you out every time), by 9:02 and you haven't grab one for yourself, you'll see a sea of grey.....'all spoken for.'

Here, you see the first el-cheapo is still open all day, and the other one is still open as of 9:25. Sure, we can add up a little change here, a little change there and get some gas money. But that is what they're counting on. You can see, one of the .50centers is at least only a 25 word post....reasonable. It only takes a minute to post a 25 word blurb for pay. I have grabbed several of those myself because it's easy and it is money that does ad up, eventually.

I am hoping the other bloggers are thinking along these same lines, "If we all hold out, and none of us give in to the measly scraps their throwing our way for (but they want our valued written word out there on the internet on our own blogs) - they better get the hint that they better step up the offer!
