Dan, you said you “understand that most of the big shots charge between $100-$200”. If you'd read the list I provided 11 posts above, you’d have noted that credits range from $30.
The professional I’ve chosen to contact charges $72.
Thus, it’s misleading to imply that charges range from $100 to $200.
As an ex-reporter, you know the importance of getting the facts right. wink
Likewise, stating that Greg is “running promos for Blazetrak” is a misleading statement.

Do you know for certain that the video is brief? Have you read or heard that anywhere? How short – or long – is brief?

I only know that others have reported they found the videos comprehensive, detailed, and very useful. I intend to find out firsthand. As an ex-journo myself, I look on it as research. wink

I’m neither young nor aspiring. And I like to think I’m not foolish. smile I am, however, curious about what contact with a Blazetrak professional might involve. I have no qualms about spending $72 (or 50 euros, so for me, it’s cheap at that price) to be able to present something to someone who actually might have a clue about what I may – or may not – be able to do with a particular genre that’s outside the normal critiquing range.

It’s funny about attitudes. On the basis that I now know a little about the organisation (after spending some time studying the site carefully), if I knew of anyone who was going to ‘give it a go’, I’d be encouraging and hopeful for them, and eager to know what the result might be. As a realistic person, I know a healthy scepticism is absolutely in order for all things. However, I’m often astonished by how quickly people with no knowledge whatsoever about a particular thing are so quick to disparage.

John, I hope to be able to tell you whether the critique is generic or not. smile
If it is, I’ll have lost 50 euros. It would only be a one-off, so I could live with that. But at least I’ll have checked to see for myself what BT is all about. wink

Stay tuned to this channel, folks. wink
