There are so many people who do nothing but giveaways. While they get a lot of traffic, and may be worth it for a company to give some product to for a giveaway they aren't likely to be hired to create content, manage communities, or provide social media consulting because honestly, they aren't worthy of hire. Not that what they do is wrong by any means, it's just not what the company is looking for, therefore, it's not worth it to them to hire. People who get upset about certain bloggers getting all the opportunities need to step back and check their own writing, blogging, and networking. Are they worthy of hire? Just because you blog every day doesn't mean you're worthy. You said something at Blissdom about the difference between being hired for content creation/freelance work which should be paid for, and promoting a product on your blog which may be done for free/product.
