Damn John Reese and his Stinkin' BlogRush Launch!
BlogRush this, BlogRush that!
If you're involved with Internet Marketing in any way, shape or form you have been subjected to (or perhaps succumbed to) "BlogRush Mania." I include myself in the "succombed to" category.
Damn that John Reese!
There I was… working peacefully at my home computer, immensely satisfied with myself for FINALLY resolving to FOCUS on my core web activities and stop getting DISTRACTED by all the exciting new gizmos and opportunities… when …
BAM!
… there's a message from John Reese announcing an Income.com launch of something called BlogRush .
Grrrrr!
John Reese is one of a handful of marketers who make me drool. When I see anything from him, I'm like one of Pavlov's puppydogs hearing the bell!
I can't help but stop whatever I'm doing and investigate whatever John is talking about.
To make matters worse, John's BlogRush launch was a total mess! Technical difficulties caused delay after delay… meanwhile I, and no doubt hundreds of others, continued drooling in anticipation as each hour ticked by and still there was no release (of BlogRush or our voracious hunger)!
Grrrrr!
BlogRush did finally launch in the wee hours of Saturday morning. The buzz is deafening, as normal for anything launched by John Reese.
Does BlogRush deserve all this drooling, anticipation, and buzz?
I think it's too soon to tell. But hell, it's FREE. All it costs to give it a try is a little space on your blog.
That's one of the ways John suckered me in. If he was charging money for this new traffic magnet, I'd probably have the will power to sit back and see what results others achieve before getting involved myself, even though the sooner you jump in, the better your results will be.
Damn John Reese!
I just couldn't resist, and now I'm spending time on BlogRush… signing up, getting it installed on my blog (you can see the widget in my sidebar), writing a post about it, inviting others to check it out… instead of focusing on the activities I'd just told myself to focus on! According to John, this is a good thing. I love John (as a brother, of course, since I'm happily married), and trust him when he tells me "do this."
He better be right!
I'll let you all know how this BlogRush adventure pans out for me. Either I'll see a dramatic increase in traffic to this blog… or I'll have wasted precious time getting sucked in. I expect it'll be the former. But if it's the latter, you know I'll be screaming:
"Damn John Reese!"
If you're curious about what this BlogRush thing is all about (and why I've been drooling), John has created a nice video that explains it. Go here to check it out: BlogRush
I'm gonna go find some paper towels now to clean up my mess.

Yeah, I was going about my business peacefully when I got this shoutout about John's new widget. No harm in trying it out since it's free. If it works to a certain extent, I'll be satisfied. If not, well….
