How To Run A $1 Million Business On 2 Hours Per Day

written by John Chow on April 30, 2009

Make money with YouTube

Do you want to know how to run a million dollar business? Better yet, do you want to know how to run a million dollar business on two hours per day? Well, you’re in luck because that’s the subject of a live presentation I will be giving at the next Third Tuesday in Downtown Vancouver at the Republic nightclub. And best of all, it’s free to attend! RSVP here.

This month… John Chow is talking about “How to run a million dollar business on 2 hours per day” — tools, principles and strategies that has allowed John to run his business on a couple of hours per day from anywhere in the world.

Wait A Minute, Your Blog Doesn’t Make $1 Million A Year!

Newer readers may not realize this but my blog is not my main income source – it never was. This blog started as a hobby and I still treat it as such. The fact that it’ll make $500K this year is just a bonus. What many new “Make Money Online” bloggers may not realize is it’s really hard to do a blog on making money online when you’ve never made any. I think Shoemoney explained it very well in this post. If you look into the backgrounds of all the big make money online bloggers, you’ll see that their main income is not from their make money blogs.

My presentation won’t focus much on blogging. While making a million buck from blogging is possible, doing it on two hours a day is pretty damn hard! I have often said that from a profit standard, blogging is the least profitable thing I do. I will be profiling my other Internet business plus the Net businesses of some friends. All bring in bucket loads of cash with almost no time input and can be run from anywhere in the world. The show starts Tuesday, May 19 at 7PM. See you there!

Really good thought John. Many people across internet are attracted towards blogging game but very few are able to become most successful. You need to have passion and game plan if you want to win this ball game.

as you have said still your main income source is not from blogging – so if you dont mind could you tell – what is your main income source ?

looking forward for your reply

Paulubiadas May 1, 2009 at 7:12 am

He is the owner of TTZ media.

TYCP Entertainment Magazine May 2, 2009 at 2:07 pm

What are you saying? That you don’t think TTZ Media makes much money?

As I am in Europe, I probably won’t be showing up. But I sure would like to! 2 hours is more like it! Maybe you should write Tim Ferris telling him the title of his new book should be :)

Greg Ellison May 1, 2009 at 4:02 am

It sounds like a cool presentation John. Greg Ellison

Millionaire Acts May 1, 2009 at 8:31 am

I would agree to other readers’ comments and that is hopefully John you could post a videolink to your presentation here just like a video that you did reminiscing your early days in China.

Nicholas Chase May 1, 2009 at 9:01 am

John,

I live in California and make much less than $28.00 per year on the Internet.

Will you please UStream or GoToMeeting this presentation.

You can do it from your iPhone now, Joel Comm did this live stream on his Microsoft tour of Redmond headquarters last month. He was using a beta application at that time, not sure which one.

Respectfully,

Learning how to run a Million dollar business on 2 hours a day is pretty useless… Since most of us are not at that point.

It would be much better to learn what you did over the last X years to get to the 1M point

Melody May 1, 2009 at 1:58 pm

Exactomundo….lol

It’ll take a new blogger forever to make that kind of money on only two hours a day..

John i think all your network business just build on your blog. So do not say blog is nothing.

Network Solutions May 1, 2009 at 3:51 pm

I don’t think so. If you follow some of his earlier posts you will see that he built many other sites like TTZ, and the computer IT reviews ones (don’t remember the exact name sorry).

Benjamin Cip May 1, 2009 at 1:41 pm

That’s it! Before to start blogging, I should have had a successful business to talk about in my blog! Sounds like I skipped one step of the pyramid.

Sounds awesome. I wish I could attend. Sadly, I don’t live in Vancouver :( It’d be cool if you made a video for those who aren’t fortunate enough to be there.

John you should put this into a free course for the rest of us that cannot make it to far away.

Can I make it someday?? I can afford 4 hrs a day… hehehee. :D

Ekey May 8, 2009 at 5:44 pm

Yes John, you are absolutely right. I know from experience that you can’t make big money from blogs. Most top bloggers after talking to them are making money online from other sites. I myself am making my income from my web design firm and affiliate marketing. Blog is just chipping in a few grands thats all.

But most self-proclaimed experts don’t understand that which makes them look stupid because they are not really experts if they don’t know that.

ZK @ Web Marketing Blog May 17, 2009 at 2:59 pm

Running a big business is also an art. You will have to taker care of everything so that system can run smoothly.

But every time you will not get the smoothness sometime this can also turned into rough one.
