If you think they're missing an opportunity you say "Did you ever consider X?" If they say, "Yes, and I'm not interested," then you say, "Okay," and maybe consider taking advantage of the opportunity yourself.You don't insult people. Certainly not busy professionals who are giving you the benefit of their experience and point of view.If you disagree with the opinions posted here, great. Discussion is all about different ideas getting put up against each other. If you think a great opportunity is being missed out on, take advantage of it. Don't complain that nobody else is.I've done a fair amount of math on writing and publishing adventures and I get very minimal results -- something like less than $10/hour for my work -- if things go well. So I haven't tried -- I can't risk the loss, and the potential results aren't worth my time. If you see better results, or can risk the loss, go for it. Prove me wrong.But where is this accusatory tone getting anyone? If you see a market opportunity, and you can't convince anyone else to jump at it, get in there. All you need is enough money to pay a writer and an artist (and those two careers are pretty close to the absolute bottom of the pay scale) and you're in business. If you're not willing to risk a few hundred bucks on this great market opportunity yourself, then maybe you could stop complaining that other people are behaving just like you.</blockquote>
