RisingSunofNihon - Find out why Bill Belew is my hero

On September 14, 2007 in Interviews

Hi everybody,

Today I am excited to bring you the first of a few posts about Bill Belew and RisingSunofNihon.com. I decided to break the interview up into shorter pieces and go into more depth because this guy is my new hero (and I also love business and Japan - his focus). I hope you’ll enjoy these interview posts too, but either way you still have to read them “because I said so!” *Evil Laugh*

Now some of you are likely asking, “Why is Bill your hero?”

The answer: One number, 450

Daily J: How did you get started with RSON?

Bill: I was doing the network thing at another start up blog network. Somebody there read something I wrote about Japan and dropped me a comment about the business network KnowMoreMedia and said they were looking for writers.

I went to www.knowmoremedia.com to see what kinds of topics were open. They did not have an international focus, so I proposed one. Besides the 20 years in Japan, I also spent time in Far East Russia and in China….thus PanAsianBiz was born.

PanAsianBiz grew and I proposed a blog that focused on Japan only and China only. RisingSunOfNihon was born as was ZhonghuaRising. I maintained all three sites until we found someone to do the China only site. In the meantime, I also proposed a site devoted to education and TheBizOfKnowlege was born. At one point I was maintaining four blogs for KMM….they, btw, pay me to do this…per post and a by the page view.

Now I write about 150 blog posts each month for each site - PAB, RSON and TBOK….450 posts total.

That’s right folks, 450 posts a month! I don’t know how he does it. But there is one thing for sure, Bill won’t leave you without something to read!

So head over to RisinSunofNihon.com and read up on the economic and industrial might of Japan (or, as in the article that links to, the occasional lack thereof). Then be sure to be back here tomorrow for some in-depth, exclusive, Q and A with Bill Belew that you can only find here on Daily J.

See you then!
