The thing with that, Patrick, is that the little guys (or beginners I should say), with all due respect, would probably not know what to do with a five-figure salesletter (for example). Copywriters will discuss strategy, tweak your letter, and stuff like that, but they won't teach you traffic generation basics or give you a soup to nuts crash course on Internet marketing.

Also, you mentioned little guys and their products. Product creation is definitely important, but let's think about what kind of product a newbie could create. Let's say a newbie's in the IM niche and wants to create a product on how to do affiliate marketing for example. Who would want to buy a product on how to do affiliate marketing from someone who has never done it before?

All I'm saying is that if you can't afford it, you probably don't need it.

Can't afford to shell out 2K for Mass Control? You should probably first establish a business foundation to get yourself up to the point where you can.

Can't afford a domain and hosting? You should probably get a job to support yourself and anybody else who have a responsibility to before you think about starting an online business.
