Another Blog You Should Visit

February 26, 2007

Another blog on my personal reading list is James Brausch over at http://www.jamesbrausch.com.

He calls it the Internet Business Blog and focuses on the 3 primary drivers of an Internet business: traffic, copywriting, and product.  He is also a blogging machine…I count 8 posts on the main page right this minute that have all been written from Friday to today.

If you didn’t know better, you would think all he does is write his blog.  Yet, he doesn’t work weekends at all…and only works 3 hours a day on weekdays.  He saw my recent post about cutting one day a week from your work schedule, and announced he is also cutting Friday from his work schedule. This drops him to 12 hours a week and he earns a very nice online income.

I respect that. 

Here’s why.  A lot of Internet marketers talk about how much they earn.  What they don’t talk about is how much they net (they only tell you about how much they grossed not talking about how they pay 80% commissions).  They also work 80 hours a week.  I know them.  I’ve talked to them.  They tell me it’s because they love what they do so much. 

My wife and I were recently listening to a “guru’s” CD.  We counted this statement 7 times, “I work 12 hours a day 7 days a week, but I’m not a workaholic.”

Keep telling yourself that.  I wasn’t convinced.  And I doubt he was convinced himself with saying it so much.  Or maybe he kept saying it for his wife’s benefit (you’ll usually find your spouse isn’t as enthusiastic about your “love” for your job).

That’s why I find James Braush’s blog so interesting.  I’ve never met him in person, but he seems to really understand the value of systems. 

Go to this posting by James.

He says he doesn’t touch 85% of his blog postings.  He uses an ingenius system for his business here he systematizes everything.  What I find most interesting personally is his use of “interns.”  He has unpaid interns doing much of the work for him…in exchange for being taught how to run a business (they learn by doing it for him). Expect to see me copy this idea in the future at some time.  Interns work in all types of businesses.  His is the first small Internet based business where I’ve seen them working.
