Exposure!
Do you know how much it costs to hire a painter? We don’t, but that’s because we do all of our painting on our own. Also, we don’t own a home that we can paint whatever color we want. Also also, even if we wanted to hire a painter, we probably couldn’t afford it. We cri everi tiem.
Oh, wait! This whole time, we could’ve offered exposure to painters?! If we had known that, we still wouldn’t do anything. Seriously, exposure doesn’t pay the bills. And unless you’re a mega-huge celebrity, you shouldn’t expect anyone to do anything for you free of charge. Your exposure is nothing.
