    One by one, my clients have fallen victim to bad economy and today, my last standing client filed ch11 owing me a good sum of money and all I was banking on. Things were teetering on my ability to keep Lil Suzy for a good while before this and with this news today, man I had to give her to my nephew and let him just take up the payments on her. Little punk made off with her for 12k and a full tank of gas. lol Awesome deal for him, body dammage and all. I was dumb enough to sink dang near 60k into that car when things were boomin' just a few years ago.
    I'm still pitching tv shows and today has me rattling cages of every car and bike dealer in town for web video marketing. Most of em don't even realize I'm editing their local tv commercials as a freelancer at the post houses they are paying to do it. None of them realize they can't afford to advertise that way anymore. I just have to introduce em to the ways of Twitter and Youtube. Little weekly episodics would do em all well. From car tours to highlighting their services, there is power in these videos. I just have to get my saleman's hat on good and tight.
    If any of you know companies that could use some top notch web marketing, man I sure could use some catch up gigs.

    This is very sad news Grin.. However, having met you and knowing the kind of strong willed, go getter that you are, I am very confident that you will rebound with a vengeance. And sooner than later.

    Keep your head high and go kick some ass.

    thanks all.
    I am leveraging Moddin' Art to pitch and sell web promos for car and bike dealers. It's humbling doing the door to door sales thang but that's always good for a brother.
    I'll land on my feet... it'sll just take some time.
