Current Events > Hey guys, my landlord won't accept my rent check

(+) Yeah! (+)

My last client paid me in "exposure" but for some reason my landlord won't accept this form of currency. Where can I exchange exposure for real money?

It's what clients say they'll pay you in when they want your skills and expertise for free. It's really valuable, now all their friends will want free work too

I guess it means "publicity". Go on the street and sing the praises to the apartment complex to attract more tenants.

Oh.

And you fell for this? Just working for free? pinky, you deserved to get screwed.

I always get annoyed when I see people try get free work from artists, not acknowledging that they try to make a living from their profession

It's basically a weekly occurrence in my field. Spend a lot of wasted time in meeting with potential clients who reveal that they think their high profile circle of friends is sufficient payment for services rendered.

I doubt very much that you're an artist, such as a writer, painter, teleplay writer, or whatever. You aren't the type. You want to work in an office job where you get nice, steady paychecks.

I think this topic is a joke to that topic we had about a week ago about clients being given cheap or trying to get free work done for publicity.
---

it's just mocking the way people in certain industries (artists and musicians usually) get asked for services for free, and the exposure they are getting is expected to be payment enough

Yeah, I think I made that topic, if it's the one I'm thinking of. About the entitlement some people feel when it comes to artists.
