Flutterby™! : Carpet Baggers

A sign of getting some bullshit publicity is: Every business consultant and marketing expert in town contacts you and wastes 3-5 minutes of your time. I want to establish how not do so based on these experiences:

• Don't use an @yahoo.coom or @aol.com e-mail address.
• Don't have a website that says: Copyright Yahoo.com on the bottom.
• Don't have/promote a website that just shows your hostgator cPanel login screen.
• Don't send e-mail that is just a word document with bizarre fonts and layout and little meaningful text.
• Don't claim to have done work that I know was done by someone else.
• Don't claim in-depth technical marketing knowledge about my industry based on what you misunderstood from my website.
• Don't tell me you can introduce me to a potential large client... for a fee (not a commission, that's ok).
