Bad and Stupid Pitch: eSwarm offers me money to blog / tweet about it. I don't think so....
Here's a real email I just received from the Director of Media Relations at a company called eSwarm.
No, I did not doctor this up.
She did the right thing by paying attention to the fact that I write about PR and Social Media.
But when I saw her offer to actually pay me to write about it, I was pretty amazed. I thought of continuing the conversation to ask how much they would actually pay me, but I decided not to go there.
If you are going to pitch me on something really cool, I am happy to take a look. But if you offer me a mordita to cover you is just plain old dumb.
