Our 4-Hour Workweek

I read four blogs with a 4-Hour Workweek flair on a regular basis.

1. Get Rich Slowly, authored by J.D. Roth; subscriber base of 47,147;
2. Problogger, authored by Darren Rowse; subscriber base of 41,530;
3. Think Simple Now, authored by Tina Su; subscriber base of 4,429;
4. Millionaire Mommy Next Door, author is anonymous; subscriber base of 2,585.

Darren Rowse and J.D. Roth make enough income with their blogs that both quit working for someone else (J.D. Roth was in sales and Darren was a minister). The Millionaire Mommy Next Door works with her husband in their small plumbing business and actively runs the family's investment portfolio, earning a 14.3% return on investment in 2007 (versus 6.4% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average). And Tina Su, after launching her successful blog just four months ago, left last Thursday for a three-month mini-retirement trip to India.

Can you see a bit of Tim Ferriss in each of these bloggers? I do. They make great online mentors. By studying each of their efforts, perhaps I will be able to learn and implement some of their successful techniques.
