Now, all paid content isn't dead. $10 for an oldschool or digital book is very fair, but when someone tries to get subscribers for a "premium content" section of their website, and wants to charge hundreds a month, it sets off every red flag and alarm & it's a good sign to run! Even worse if someone is selling pre-fabricated "systems."
Basically, if you want to make money online, you only need a few services: hosting, content production, promotion, and advertisers. Content is the lure that draws people in and helps them evaluate which services they need, and in this way free or cheap information is quite a viable business model in its own right.
