How John Chow Makes $40,000/mo from blogging

I once went to a seminar where the question "how do you eat an elephant" was asked.

I'm sitting there thinking 1) why would you want to? 2) what spices would make it taste better? 3) still not sure, why would you want to?

...when the speaker answered "one bite at a time"

Making $40K from a blog may seem overwhelming simply because you're looking at the elephant rather than the bites.

Take that $40K elephant & break the goal into smaller chunks. Maybe build a $4K/month blog then... scale it 10x over the coming year. Let's say you were able to arrive at the $4K by offering 1 "highly useful to your readers" $100 product. You'd need to sell 40/month (or a little over 1 per day) to reach that goal. So as you continue to add new members/subscribers/etc. carefully select & add more "highly useful to your readers" products.

Take a deep breath... you've arrived at the end of your elephant.

Back in the day, I had a client order 2000+ pieces of a handmade product to be completed in a little under 1 month. Initially I felt overwhelmed. But I broke it down into a mechanical system, finished and learned a lot about what people will do (ie how much they'll buy) and what I can do.

Now I prefer to rise to the challenge whenever "it's impossible" is mentioned.

Will it be easy? Sure, once you figure out how to do it the 1st time. Till then... no, not so much.
