So I got a phone call from a person who wanted me to help him give away thousands of free ebook. He told me he knew nothing about the web though.

I asked him how he got all those free ebooks without knowing anything about the web, and he stated he got them from free bonuses in spam email.

I told him there was a 0% chance of me helping anyone market email spam, and by creating a site that gave away that stuff he would be marketing email spam, since most email spam freebies come with spyware or rippoff hidden gems like bogus affiliate recommendations.

He kept emphasizing volume, and I kept saying "right, lots of garbage." Sometimes I wonder if I am a bit too blunt with some people, but I think sometimes you have to be, especially when they don't get that promoting scammers = promoting scammers.

A few sentences that help change the way I think can be worth thousands, but volumes of text promoted by sleeze marketing is not going to do anyone any favors. It's part of the reason blogs are cool. Subscribe to the channels you want and usually get the content you want.

I think I hate email spam almost as much as telemarketers.
