From all those business magazines I waste my time on, from what I’ve seen of legit startups, is that they only mention they’re a startup when they’re offering someone a ground floor opportunity to be part of the leadership of the new company, and usually includes stock or stock options or other benefits. Startups want to be taken seriously, and broadcasting that you’re a startup and can’t afford to pay is not the way to be seen as a professional with something to offer the marketplace.

So, Lori… I’m starting up this website. Wanna write for free for me? I promise to pay you when it hits big! 🙂

When I say I don’t work for free, that includes cleaning up other people’s quotes for them. LOL
