Welcome to WebKEW!

After I published How to make a million dollars, I started getting a lot of email. People are asking great questions, especially about the Web and creating new Web sites. I thought it would be interesting to create a blog to answer questions and talk about different techniques that people are using on the web to make money. So here we are. The idea behind WebKEW is to collect together ideas, techniques, case studies, stories, etc. that will help you learn how to create successful web sites.

If you are interested in starting a business and making a million dollars, the Web is certainly one place to do it. And it is a relatively straightforward and inexpensive place. With the Web you can work from home in off hours. Depending on what you are trying to create, startup costs can be very low. You can try ideas on the web quickly and at relatively low cost until you find something that works.
