That which they can do
That which they can do
not themselves,
they teach others to do
for themselves.
They make dough not through
their would-be art,
but instead by selling you
a course in art.
You pay them a nice and hefty fee
with the great hope
that you may be
the next great hope.
But, after that, if you fail,
there is a place you can fall back:
To be a seller with web and email
a course in art to the artlorn hack.
____________
Note: art includes writing of all kinds, of course

As always, engaged and very cool. The Writer's Centre here. I live are selling on line writing courses for $400.00. I went ballistic seeing as how they recieve Gov't grants to foster writing as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
ReplyDeleteThe other example I have is mind is the seller of investment/trading courseware, teaching you how to make money in the market. (So if they could teach you, why do they need to make money from selling a course or a market information service?)
