They don't work. They are to the Internet in the new millennium what door to door sales were to the 1950s and telemarketing was to the 1980s and the 1990s.

The Internet is a great way to turn a profit. The way to do it, however, is to follow a second simple rule: register your own domain name for your business.

Once you have your domain set up and you're ready to go, you need a way to reach out to the customers who have purchased from you in the past. It is a 90% more efficient use of your marketing funds (and energy!) to keep a customer you already have than to create a new one.
