Good input Boyd,

But do you have numbers/examples to justify the position? Heck I would like nothing more than to find good Internet only models that worked (i.e. be profitable) and not just selling a few reports here and there but doing say more than 1/2 mill per year in sales. I would consider that to be fantastic information.

As far as the cost of postage, is it higher than it was? Absolutely, but I can tell you that there are many, many direct marketers in the world making direct mail work at a cost that is far higher than what we pay in the U.S.

Take care,
