The Big Red Notebook Story

Before there was Big Red Notebook, there was Content Done Better. Carson Brackney started Content Done Better in an effort to provide online entrepreneurs with the best content and copy possible at prices that made sense. It worked! Content Done Better boasted an extensive and impressive client roster. The blog had a loyal following and even won a few awards. There were guest posts on hot sites, a little notoriety and even occasional interview requests. Everything was rolling right along.

That’s when an opportunity in the “real world” emerged. Brackney took it, sold the Content Done Better name and closed the office.

He spent the next two years working out in the world–always keeping his eyes on the Internet marketing and content creation scenes. He read. He experimented during odd hours. He combined years of freelance writing with all of the tricks he learned while writing all of those ebooks and articles for the Internet marketing gurus of the world. He added a megadose of personal (and profitable) new experiences. He blew the digital dust off of the ol’ virtual Rolodex. He had an idea. He took it to his wife.

“Honey, the economy is in shambles. People are worried, the markets are falling fast enough to produce sonic booms and there are plenty of folks who’d happily chop off a leg in order to have a good job like mine. So, I want to do something. I want to open my own business again and start over from near-scratch. What do you think?”

Luckily, she’s adventurous. Big Red Notebook is open for business.

The Big Red Notebook Boss

The head honcho, Carson, is a whiz-bang writer, a quick study, an insightful fountainhead of wisdom and a former convenience store night shift clerk. After snagging a real-life college degree in Communication (minors in Political Science and Sociology) and surviving graduate studies in both Education and Rhetorical Criticism, he made the horrible mistake of going to law school for two years. On the bright side, he won the American Jurisprudence Award in the study of Criminal Law and found time to make a living for several months at various casinos and card tables.

He’s taught college classes. He’s coached debate squads (he’s a former national champ himself). He’s worked in sales, clerked for a few law firms, represented people on disability claims, been a human resources guy, conducted focus group research, managed businesses, and he even processed invoices for a plumbing supply company for about an hour and a half one time. That’s not all, though… Industrial dryer room operator? Check. Reservation sales for a hotel chain? Yep. Janitor? Sure, but he was only 14 at the time. You get the idea.

The important thing to take away from all of this is that the guy knows his stuff. He’s an information sponge and has an uncanny ability to ingest, interpret, and synthesize assorted morsels of data into a working feast. He has an elephant’s memory and a work ethic worthy of a Soviet-era propaganda poster. He’s a bad-ass with a track record of online success and he’s back in business.

He’s also incredibly humble. Can’t you tell?

“But now, looking at the big red notebook I carried all through that scene, I see more or less what happened. The book itself is somewhat mangled and bent; some of the pages are torn, others are shriveled and stained by what appears to be whiskey, but taken as a whole, with sporadic memory flashes, the notes seem to tell the story.” –Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
