$10,000 Box Arrived
Jul 26
Well James D. Brausch is a man of his word. The prize for the contest I won last week arrived and it was Christmas in July here in Edmonton.
100 copies of James’ DVD product called “Earn An Income By Creating Your Own DVD” which sells on Kunaki for $100 each.
$100 x 100 = $10,000.
Actually, $10,000 if I sell them for full price, but if I can use (or leverage them) for contests or give-away’s or trade for services, then potentially I can get a lot more value than that from them.
I love this gift/prize. Not only do they perfectly tie into what I know and preach is the best way to make money online (by creating products) but it also messes perfectly with The Four Hour Work Week, which I read daily and consider to be my current business bible.
[In case you haven't read the book Tim's promotes the idea of a "muses" which produce a $10,000 a month income with very little hands on maintenance required - he suggests that selling information products, is the easiest way to accomplish this, and even gives an example of someone who achieves freedom creating her own Yoga DVD.]
I haven’t had a chance to watch the DVD yet, and I’ll get a review up as soon as I do.
Thank you James, I’m blown away.

P.S. Wondering why Mr. Brausch would give out such a generous gift. Well it does make good business sense and I would normally tell you all about it, but it was Christmas in July at Terry Dean’s house too and he already wrote a great post about using the law reciprocity in your business.

Wow that’s a great prize and really nice of James to send you that. If I were you, I would definitely use it in contests on your blog, or even better, create an affiliate splash page reviewing the product.
“Wondering why Mr. Brausch would give out such a generous gift.”
Because it costs him close to “nothing” and you are now doing the marketing for him for almost nothing. You could probably do the same with your product and have someone else promote it for you
The guys at the Evolving Excellence blog had some good comments on Ferriss’ book as well, from a manufacturing and outsourcing perspective. Typically they are very anti-outsourcing, but “personal outsourcing” is just a tad different! Unfortunately they didn’t mention the effective time savings from having an assistant on the opposite side of the globe. Nice post.
