To Kyle’s idea:

I like the concept, but part of what makes John Chow successful is his writing style, wit, ability to make money online and more. Even if he did make a blog and not tell anyone about it, he has something that many “nobody’s” don’t have - his writing style, wit, ability to make money online and more.

See what I’m saying? If John Chow does this it’s not the perfect example of going from a nobody to a somebody - he already is a somebody. What would be better is if he coached nobody or perhaps tracked a nobody’s progress somehow…

I guess I just think the concept is good, but I’m sure he’d be a success at it anyway.

I have to say, that you have to give Kontera a chance. The folks that aren’t are silly.

In regards to the nobody blog, I think it would be OK to start with a dot com, but I have a couple ideas about it. First of all, there would have to be a rule that there can be no mention of the blog or link to it on johnchow.com at all (wouldn’t want him to favor himself) and it would probably be best if he were to host it with a completely different hosting provider (not BlueFur) to make it harder for us to figure out.

In the beginning it would be difficult, but if the blog turns out to be successful that means a lot of traffic, and that means eventually some of John’s readers would find it.

Part of the art of being evil is never revealing the plan.

I used Kontera but nearly every second word on my site was underlined, rather than two or so words in each post on your site. Anyone know how to lower the number?

I wonder why would anyone want to sue them…. And how come I’ve never heard of that site before?
