Make More Money From Your Ideas

"Actually I'd like to know how these people get to rip off others by charging money for viewing their website ... and im not talking about charging on porn websites ... simple websites ... how do they do it? and is it legal? i shouldnt have to pay extra money for viewing a simple website..."

This is a good question. Although I disagree with your point of view, I'm glad you have raised this issue.

If you're talking about a government Web site, then yes, you could argue that your taxes are already paying for the site and you shouldn't have to pay extra. But in other cases, why shouldn't the Web site owner charge a fee?

The fact is that information does have value. If there's a market willing to pay money for it, and it isn't readily available elsewhere, then it can have a price. For example, I teach people how to write and sell electronic books, which have no printing cost, no design costs and low distribution costs. Yet they can command a higher price than a printed book. Why? Because somebody is willing to pay money for that information, and they believe it's a worthwhile expense.
