A broker at least helps them eat, pay bills, etc.. until they figure out how to do it on their own.

or until they stop getting paid and come here to post about it
good point though... I actually had a design business (interior design not internet stuff) when I was 20 years old. I had a demand for a certain product but was too scared and nervous to talk to the buyer myself, so I used a sales rep with more experience. She made a huge chunk of money off my work, and in the end ripped me off for a bunch of samples. Fucking bitch.
But I learned my lesson. And shortly after found the ability to do my own rep work.
