I'm not sure your conclusion necessarily follows what he's proposing. He's saying: find 400 things that each make $1/day -- it's a thought experiment as much as it is a proposition, BTW.

Some people would certainly make 400 spam blogs or something else equally useless. I don't think that was the author's intention, though.

I wish I could personally say that every single thing I do has my heart and soul in it. I can't, for reasons outside my apparent control. I bet I could find 400 things I like enough to spend time on, and that's enough for me.



My conclusion stems from his primary example: A collection of ninja videos slathered with adsense. It's half-way to a spamblog, but he considers it something to be proud of.


I think he considers it a way to make money.

I think he considers it that only in the sense that someone else may find it entertaining.


Could you find time to spend on 400 things, though?
