John Reese sunk a reported $500,000 to create and develop BlogRush. He believed in it and thought it was going to be a great tool to help bloggers drive traffic to their sites. Unfortunately, things didn’t worked out as John hoped and BlogRush shut down last week.

I met John when I was in Orlando for IZEA Fest.

He’s also a great example of just how big one can get on the Internet. He tried and failed with BlogRush, but that’s what being an entrepreneur is all about. Better to try and fail then not try at all.
