I'm a new comer to the scene and I'm very confused as to how someone could actually profit from this. I see people on the BST threads offering their directory services and such but I find no purpose for it, that was until I read about the Proxy Network type thing. The problem is that I'm still at a blank as of how to get started and what is the overall premise of it all. Would someone please explain this to me.
Check the big Proxy Thread and ask for help there. You'll need around $20 to get yourself started, as well as an Adsense account.
