Three Cheers for Slave Labor!

    We all know that directory life at times can get...oh insanely boring and torturous (submissions, META tagging, more submissions). What I've done, I recommend you all to try and do, because it makes life easier, and you don't have to pay someone on the net a lot of money to do it.

    Recruit siblings/children! haha


    My two little sisters (16 and 14) love thinking that they're my "secretaries". My one sister is submitting 3 sites to Dan's list for $25, and my other sister is META tagging my directory (700+ categories) for $20ish. Job training takes about 5 minutes because it's so easy, so I don't have to invest much into it.


    This thread really has no point, it's just funny how they like doing this stuff. And I'm not doing anything "wrong", because they aren't complaining about the wage.


    Anyone else use similar tactics? :p

    So I take it you're running a 'Kids' Directory?

    Kids seem to have no conception of the value of money, which is why they are so easy to exploit. I wonder how long it will be before they get wise and demand a pay increase?

    A quote from Krusty on The Simpsons about child labour working in his factory: "We pass the slavings on to you."

    No?

    They just go down Dan's list and press the magic Roboform button for me. And copy the META tags from 1 directory (that I did) to another.


    Well my sister actually demanded more than what I first asked, so I told her ok.


    Now if they didn't want to do it and I "forced" them to do it for low pay..that would be slave labor and I'd feel bad. But they actually like the stuff, so I see nothing wrong with it.
