But marketing to the simpletons is quite easy. They would happily invest $200 of effort to get $50 worth of something 'free'.. and that can be worked to your advantage when marketing to adult webmasters. Dangle the 'free' carrot and they just cant help themselves.
Really, we aren't?

A few years ago I stepped back and decided to figure out what would make me tons of money. I put a lot of thought into this. I wanted to make a product that everyone in the US uses daily. Think about that for a moment. The best answer I came up with was soap, shampoo, and toothpaste - and good luck breaking into that market.

I ended up doing blogs. Adult blogs. Let's talk about this for a moment. Most people in the world do "X" amount of work and get paid "$X" for that work. Instead, I've discovered a business model where I do "X" amount of work and continue to pull in money from that work daily for the rest of my life with a minimum of effort. I think that's pretty smart really.
