So they schedule hosts, then sell, sell, sell. But it doesn't work as well as they hoped. For one thing, buyers don't like to feel pressured. For another, the author doesn't throw a wide-enough net. They focus on blogs that have a lot of the same readers.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-12416997144073470852010-11-03T11:39:55.918-05:002010-11-03T11:39:55.918-05:00Soft sell in everything.
