Is that really the only compensation a designer would get? $25/month?!? Just making sure I'm reading that right.

Ditto what Kimberly said - good question

[KariHentzelt]

Wholly Scrap! That's not a lot of compensation.. is it?

[Cherie Shields]

hmmmm they obviously have no freaking idea how the digital industry works???

[clikchic]

Maybe a bit of exposure would be good but who would seriously want to work for what would be less than $1 an hour? Not me.. would want to be seriously amazing exposure!

[Barb Speck]

LOL I figure I probably make a $1.00 an hour on my on sales. Why would I want to make less then that working on this project.

[Lynn G]

ahhh. think I might just stay where I am.

[LDesjardin]

Wouldn't be so bad if it were not Exclusive. Wonder how many applicants they'll get from that?
