Experiments With The 4-Hour Workweek
Bootstrapping the 4-Hour Workweek forum
15Mar2010 Filed under: Uncategorized Author: RasmusSo as you might have seen in my last post (Lifestyle Design Coach in the making), I have created a 4-Hour Workweek Forum for exchanging ideas and questions.
Now the problem is with all forums that start up is that noone wants to be part of a forum with no other users. So how should I go about this? How do you bootstrap a forum?
Should I create some initial content myself? Currently this is pretty much the only solution I can find? But any other ideas?
Notice that I will answer questions in there myself, so if you need a good kick in the onions or just som inspiration I will be happy to help you.

About this blog
Hi, my name is Rasmus and I live in Denmark. In January 2008 I read the book 
I am in the IT business and saw that some of the stuff Tim mentioned in his book, was clearly possible. And while I will never be as hardcore as Tim is, there were certainly ideas in the book that I could see myself using.
This blog is all about my experiments with Living The Four Hour Work Week - although my weeks are currently longer :)

Hey Rasmus
Just finished the book. Great inspiration and have put it straight into action. In fact here’s great little Gmail declutter lifehack which has already saved me having to sift through over 30 emails today: http://zze.st/save-hours-of-time-with-simple-gmail-lifehack/
How to bootstrap? Well, I should know. It’s the story of my life. I know Ferriss would make sure that a couple of VAs would spread the word and manage the account. Whatever you do, don’t create more and constant work for yourself
I’ll be sure to come back to visit, learn and provide.

I just signed up, but I don’t think I will be using the forum for much.

@Ole: Great link, I have actually already a couple of such filters running (except they are not called “once a wk” etc), and sometimes I check it a little too often
