Because marketing uncovers clients that pay well, rather than waiting for clients to come to you, who are generally the low-paying kind.


What an absolutely very wrong view of the market, isn't it? This makes no sense at all, John. You are making something that works or didn't work for you a rule (a very undue and unsubstantiated one). It's exactly the opposite for me, but I'm not gonna post it here as a rule. You keep spending time and money with your marketing to get good clients, and I'll keep refusing jobs from clients that pay very good rates because I don't have time to do all the jobs I get from "clients that come to me", without spending a cent or a second with marketing.

Please note that 41% of the votes are for "Never", and 15% "I don't remember", which makes the majority (56%) either think quite the opposite of what you stated or they are all working for peanuts.
