Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Has Anyone tried Guru.com? - 08/01/2006 I did a little research on Guru... you pay monthly, quarterly, or yearly (expensive!) to have access to their listings and bidding rights. When you are awarded a bid, you pay either a 5 or 10% fee for the transaction.

Seems a little much, though. I mean, just the membership itself is very expensive. I kind of think they're double dipping... and we all know how gross that is.

An agent takes a percentage of your earnings...you shouldn't be paying an agent simply to be your agent.

I agree. But that's why they hustle jobs, and hopefully more lucrative contracts for you. Unless you make money, they don't make money.

Well, it doesn't help that I'm one of the cheapest women ever. Or I guess I should say frugal, as "cheap" conjures up other images I'm not trying to portray! It just seems to me that a writer shouldn't have to pay to find jobs.

While that may be true, isn't that exactly what is one of the primary functions of an agent.

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Has Anyone tried Guru.com? - 07/19/2006 I suppose you're correct... paying for money sounds a little strange, even to me!

It's a good thing you changed your word to "frugal"! LoL
