That's right. I won the big spring contest with 143 subscriptions and now since that is over I have until the end of August to get to # 5000. So far I've subscribed 4,740 people to the Maryland Gazette. And now I only need 260 more. Well that's 13 weeks I have. It is going to be close.

Would it stop raining here so I can get the last 260 subscriptions I need to reach 5,000 subscriptions. Man this would be a great way for me to go out of the Gazette.

I become a ledgend in my own time plus I guarantee myself a job after I get out of college. Not to mention I've made a ton of money.

newspaper delivery job? =\ That doesn't sound like worth going to college for.

The money may be cool tho, with 5K subscriptions. But newspapers suck. How many people want to read the newspaper. :O

I put you're lacing them with crack

It's only a part time job until I get out of college. Plus knowing you have great selling skills as you said nobody wants the paper but you talk people into the good parts about getting the paper and get them interested and bam you have yourself a sale. I mean come on I'm 17 and in two hours I make about $18.00. It all depends on the sales but on an average night I usually sign three people up and that's the normal pay but with bonuses it could be $24.00 - $48.00 in two hours. That's better than working at a fast food restraunt.

Do you get like :O

like...

a weekly income from subscriptions

or something

do you deliver as well

You know some of the "subscriptor people" around here are fucking pushy. I would probably kill you if you came to my door.

My mom, this dude was trying to sell her the paper and she was like "I don't want it" and he's like "oh but it's great" and she's like "I have no money and I don't want it" and he's like "no it doesn't cost much and she's like ":O I don't want it" so he's like "I'll just leave this here with you and sign you up" and hse's like "fuck off".

Pushy fuckers

They should all die!

No I don't deliver the paper anymore. But yes you have to be a little pushy because you never know when you'll say the right thing and it may trigger there interest. But usually I stop if they are like a really mean no right away or if they are just politly saying no then I say well we have this this and this. And if that doesn't work. Then oh well. But I'm not going to tell you my sales pitch because I change it all the time depending on the type of person that is at the door. You have to be creative when you sell. And that goes for anything.

Do you have anybody else to bother? Oh wait that's probably what you would say to me. Starting on Monday I'm going to start knocking off starts to reach 5,000.
