I am not at a point in my story writing that I am interested in partnering with anyone for artwork, website creation, co-writing, or any other purchasable product. You’ll have to pardon me, but I have been besieged by a string of every person in my comment sections who seems to have actually read the material, and displaying what seems to be a genuine interest in reading and enjoying more of my writing, pulling me aside to an external social media platform to discuss the story. From there, they butter me up a little more with compliments and then launch into a sales pitch. It is rude, wastes my time, and leaves me feeling like no one will actually read my creations and comment on the experience without having a sales mission motive for them having spent their time. I am apparently just a mark.   On that subject, is everyone else experiencing this annoyance as well? Can anything be done about it?   #sales #collaboration #partnership #commission #propositiion #socialmedia #scam #annoyance #makeitstop #salespeople #freelancers #highpressure #falsefans #falsesubscribers
