Latte to Big Bucks

Jeremy Wright, CEO of b5media — a 200-site “blog” network based in Toronto — has written a rodeo-style piece for the Chitika blog on how to make money from a startup small business.

Titled: Blog to Blog, Inc. -Turning a Cup of Coffee a Day into Millions -By Jeremy Wright, the post outlines Jeremy’s take on the whole b5media experience.

His 4-point business plan is :

1. Make our bloggers famous – every chance we got we wanted to promote our bloggers

2. Value community – we honestly felt (and now know) that a strong internal community can make anything happen

3. Focus on great writers and keeping them happy – do this and the rest (traffic, revenue, etc) will happen

4. Build an industry – we’ve believed from day 1 that working with other networks, other owners and building real partnerships and sharing resources was the only way to turn the hodgepodge of networks into a real industry.

As a fellow network owner, who occasionally gets into intense arguments with the man, I’m not going to comment on his article — or dispute his numbers (common in the network business).

But I recommend anyone considering a small business startup to read it for the experience it contains and just a suggestion of all the hard grind you have stretching out before you.
