In regards to comments about online submission service company's (including my own which is Blazetrak) taking people's money, and not a lot of deals or connections being made, how come no one ever speaks about the quality of work that is actually submitted?

Just because YOU, or your family, or 3 other people think you are talented does not mean the rest of the world will think so. There are a lot of delusional people in this world who think they are musical gifts to the universe, but the reality is they are not very good at all. Then they use a LEGITIMATE service, dont get selected, then complain about it being a ripoff.

Some people need a dose of reality, and when they get it, their first instinct is to be bitter and lash out. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely several bad and unscrupulous companies out there, but not all are bad. I know Blazetrak is not and we do exactly what we say we will do. You still have to close the deal by actually having the quality of work that is desired.

Just a thought.
