Accelerated Webpage Profits
WEBPAGEPROFITS is yet another monthly e-zine that shows you how to build a popular, money-making Website. We're not reviewing it because it's outstanding (it isn't), but because it's representative of an entire genre.

We get swamped with submissions from "use our marketing program and earn big bucks from home with your computer" newsletter publishers. Check our database. It's full of them.

After reading dozens of these things -- which we don't recommend unless you're getting paid to do it -- they blur into one another. They all have links to free Webhosting services, links to all kinds of clickthrough "associate" banner deals, free credit card offers, a bunch of "marketing reports" you can sell through your website, and links to a free Website promotion service or two.

Every one of these money-making miracles is, of course, so easy that "anyone can do it!!!" And that's the problem. Anything that anyone can do, everyone does. There are literally millions of content-free Websites that have been built using the advice given in WEBPAGEPROFITS and other make-big-money e-zines. Most of these Websites are nothing but a waste of bandwidth; if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Here at TechMailings, we get annual anti-boggle shots, right along with our flu shots. If we didn't, our minds would be so busy boggling at all this silliness that we wouldn't have time to seek out and review quality e-mail newsletters and discussion groups for you.

But that's enough high-horse preaching for one day.

If you want insight into what today's low-level, something-for-nothing online "entepreneurs" are up to, or advice on how to become one yourself, WEBPAGEPROFITS is as good a place to get it as any.
