Putting confidence into your copy almost to the point of arrogance is pretty powerful stuff, and it works out great for a lot of people. However, all too often this confidence turns to cockiness.

Does This Apply to Blogging? Oh, and she told me that if a blogger starts to charge for their content, he’s a greedy, money-grubbing Scrooge. I’m sure there are bloggers out there charging for their content who ARE shameless money-grubbers, but that is by no means the rule. How the #$!!* My word, what a foul mouth.
