Surely you jest. The majority of this industry is broke or on the verge of broke or barely maintaining. I fall in the later category of barely maintaining. Thats the real deal with me. I am not getting ahead, and certainly not as ahead as I would like to be.

At the rate this industry is going designing tours will be free and well content, thats been free for a while. SO when you talk about big ballers who do you refer to? LOL

Cuz there are not many left.
For once I agree with you.

50% of this industry can't afford anything more than $100.00. The rest that make up the 95% can't afford anything over $500.00 without maxing a credit card, or selling off assets, etc. Leaving around 5%.

Out of that 5% are programs, people new to da biz with money to invest. Those who are in solid niches, programs, have sites, or work their fucking asses off, or were lucky. With the state of the current economy, even part of that 5% is maxed out as they retool their business models.

The point I am getting at, and agreeing with you, is that most of the visible part of this industry has no money for anything. Ads, traffic, design, content, investment, websites, domains, etc.
