I have sent two emails to him. Both thanking him again for his input to the question I posted on ask.metafilter.com, and basically asking what type of work did he did and how he got into that line (He did mention how he started later in his last post). He never replied.

I was hoping more people who were doing what he did would respond.

It’s funny, I was contemplating providing web services myself. The thing is, and you may want to work with your brother on this, it seems more efficient to outsource the grunt work to India (maintenance, design, etc..), and then spend time marketing the business, coming up with new ideas, making it grow. Of course, this would take a lot more effort. You would have to look at the cost/benefits.

BTW…Google Alert ROCKS! It can be used in so many ways. I currently have an alert on my Affiliate blog to tell me when Google finally recognizes it…as I mentioned, ironically, this blog keeps popping up instead.

Thanks for the comment!

I’m quite interested in this blog. I too have read 4HWW, and I found this blog after I saw your post on metafilter when it showed up on my weekly google alert about all new things related to either “Tim Ferriss” or “4HWW”.

I too am interested in starting a muse. I have a brother who has a web business that’s providing decent income (~$1k/mo) with minimal input, but other than that, I don’t really know anyone who’s had any measure of internet success.

I was wondering if you asked anything of ookseer through an individual email, and, if so, if he responded.

Best of luck with your efforts and keep up the blog!
