I can't believe there's not one serious person amid all of the successful people that hang out here who does'nt see the benefit in profiting from the simple, no-hassle job of imparting knowledge to someone else.

It's unthinkable.
K! Basically there are two types of "webmasters".

First is, they have been in the biz for 4 years of more and are already 1000 steps ahead. They could not afford to take time to spend on education since there is no way this could be returned.

Second are ... a considerable volume of "newbies". I know, with the exception of a rare few, they do not earn any viable funds from net activity. (But suppose what is viable to others may be a different story - depends on your comfort level.)

This is not a business that is some easy way to pull in some $$'s when you have basically little to start with in marketing ability, "net" experience and funding.

On possibly a more constructive side.. First is you need some marketing and promotional ability. This is probably 90% of the job. Front ends, design of sites, html crap is nothing in comparison. All that is assumed in the first instance.

Basically if you partner with someone in the same position as yourself, you will need funding or remain with some "day job" till you progress. The "anti" to that is it takes PLENTY hours and months to see any return. If you are "stuck" with a day job, this is going to take longer.

PS.. Sure would ... even for some perverse thrill... love to "start again" - but it would be insane to dump a load of revenue down the drain!
