I found this post at Performancing by accident. Sure, it’s two years old, but the info is timeless. Markus Merz lists the top ten lies told to freelancers, including my all-time Craigslist writing ad favorite:

“Do this for us and you’ll get great exposure! The jobs will just pour in!””

If I wanted exposure, I’d go to the window in my home office and remove my clothes.

Performancing is a blog for bloggers, and I think I’ve just become a regular reader of this one–a claim I frequently make of new blogs I get excited about. If my posts are to be believed, I am a regular reader of just about everything I’ve ever written about. Still, this blog looks pretty good, worth the time investment over morning coffee.

If nothing else, I’m quite tempted to check out the Social Media Bootcamp advertised in a recent post. If you are a new blogger or looking for ways to increase your traffic, and event like this is sure to give you at least a couple of new ideas.
