Bill,

It doesn't really matter how his site looks to you because You are not his market. His market knows him.

Jim Straw's site is amateurish (if amateurish means not being like a fourth generation website like the BigDog sites). But so what? Those who know him don't care how his site looks.

Ron mentioned a few things he has covered in his newsletter. We also cover businesses each and every week in The Great Ideas Letter. We reveal eBay PowerSellers, Net-based businesses, offline businesses that use the 'net to increase sales, and so on. Check it out (see the link below).

A few years ago, Don Alm mentioned someone who was selling some kind of diploma or course and diploma to the tune of $100k per year.

But perhaps the biggest example of a website which makes millions of dollars selling info. is, Amazon.

And also,

newdentistadvisor.com

Single/Dating sites (Ross Jefferies too)

Lesley Fountain had/has a "reducing" site - based on experience. www.formerlyfat.com from memory.

There are also "Stop Smoking" sites.

Get out of Debt sites www.leoquinn.com.

And so on.

As I said, when you are "in" a particular market, all you see is that market.
