If you are an average web developer, here is a scam that I discovered recently:
There is one guy who makes the shittiest web sites for local communities, cities, or nonprofits. The kind of web site that contains a few articles or piece of news. This asshole charges each client up to $2000 a month for “maintenance” which is mostly “add an article every 6 months.”
It’s the kind of job that you could do with any blog subscription (like WordPress or Ghost) for $20 a month, and you could charge it $500 or less. 1 client, $500 every month for five minutes of work, forever.
If you can convince people that your method is cheaper and better, you could be a billionaire overnight.

I was reluctant to post that because it’s a bit off-topic but it’s true. It’s the kind of businessman who read a few books on HTML and sold his crap to local people.
A friend of mine has one web site with that guy (and that’s how I discovered the scam), and I told him I would take care of it for the price of the hosting ($10 + domain name and stuff every month instead of $1600), but anyone can do that if they have the guts and/or balls and/or lack of empathy to contact and scam people.
