Comments on: What Do You Think Of Spotters Fees? http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2008/08/27/what-do-you-think-of-spotters-fees/ freelance writing by a freelance writer that works in the freelance writing field Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:57:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Monika http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2008/08/27/what-do-you-think-of-spotters-fees/comment-page-1/#comment-6375 Monika Thu, 11 Sep 2008 08:40:37 +0000 http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/?p=703#comment-6375 @ Kelly: Mmmhh.. do you mean like "Become an affiliate of The Writers Manifesto Inc? LOL, that sounds rather posh doesn't it? I'm not sure to be honest. I think the idea could work since I don't know of any writer who has actually done this before. I kind of like the idea ... a lot. But I'm not sure whether it is me at all? I will think on this a little more though. Thank you for your suggestion. Very generous of you. :-) @ Kelly: Mmmhh.. do you mean like “Become an affiliate of The Writers Manifesto Inc? LOL, that sounds rather posh doesn’t it?

Why don't you develop it to something like affiliate marketing? ...But, I'm not sure if it is sound like a good idea to you. Monika : Your statement give me an idea.

Yep I can, even if you live overseas. Hehehehe...Hey, that's an idea actually. "Refer me clients and I send you a dominoes voucher for 10%" LOL, too funny. @ Kelly: LOL.

Knowing that I can make a little money on the side is just another benefit I can get beside helping my relation to get the best service. An d by luck, who knows the professional I refer will treat me pizza :) I would happily refer more clients to someone I trust as a professional.

Unfortunately I am in no position to answer this question. Hopefully somebody else will though. I suppose the cut could be discussed upfront by both parties. Also, not forgetting to honor each others profit margins if you were to walk that line. It's a good question though ans I would be interested to see if somebody has got any suggestions. @ Rebecca: Good question. Unfortunately I am in no position to answer this question.

Giving people without them expecting, weighs so much more than a pre-arranged deal doesn't it? I also like your thoughts on the agent. I've actually dabbled with these kind of thoughts not so long ago and think it could work well if the setup is done correctly and the marketing is sound. Much like actor agents, or agents for musicians, I believe agents for freelancers can create a sound business. What you said about natural marketing though makes sense. We do it all the time, don't we? We recommend movies, restaurants, travel destinations, shops, etc. @ Melissa: Your surprise present was what it’s all about I think.

I understand your way of offering an unexpected thank you card is the subtle approach to saying thank you. Your model on home sales is similar to the direct selling business model. There you also give the host a present, depending on the overall cut of sales. @ Rita: Thank you for sharing your take on this very interesting subject.

Interesting subject you run there Theo. Not sure what exactly this would involve on your end, but when you start in English I will visit to learn.
