Excellent questions. And as always, Gordon gave an excellent reply. I wish you could have attended the July 5th bash where we discussed these things and the "new" concepts Gordon has mentioned. I wish you could have met the man that made $4,000 on eBay in 10 hours. (I think I got that right.) I believe he did what he said he did because he's a doer and has been for sometime. But you won't find him bragging about it because he likes to "fly low and collect the dough." And that's *exactly* what he did here.

Let me speak directly to your question about e-zines. One of the top e-zine publishers on the Net visits here from time to time. His name is Dan Butler. His e-zine, The Naked PC, was written about in "Poor Richard's Email Publishing" by Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome fame, (Lockergnome is one of the oldest e-zines around with something like 170,000+ subscribers). Dan had 70,000+ subscribers the last time I talked to him. Is it working for Dan? Well, something certainly is. I won't mention any figures here because that's not my place but let's just say that Dan told they me they do *quite* well with it. Their bestseller? A keychain flashlight that goes for $20.00 and they sell *bunches* of these every month. They have other products but the flashlight continues to be the bestseller.

A book you might want to read is "Multiple Streams of Internet Income" by Robert Allen. (I'd loan you my copy from the BatCave Library but I doubt you're close enough. (g) ) In it, Robert goes over *in* detail what he did to make a bunch of his money with his e-zine in a *very* short period time.
