A Mogul To Be

John Chow - An internet mogul and a blogger’s inspiration

January 17th, 2007 by Robert

Not long ago John Chow requested some reviews of his blog. Initially these were done through PayPerPost and this blog didn’t meet the requirements. However, like many others I decided to write a free review of his blog, because, well, I like it!

I started reading John’s blog a couple months ago having found it via a search on monetizing blogs. Having been in the game of making money online for quite some time, John is well versed in the many techniques for making money online. Everything from affiliates to having your own tech site is covered throughout his daily posts.

While his blog does cover other topics such as investing, cars and other more personal categories, his series on monetizing his blog has been a big hit for him. He gives details on ad positioning, sizes, which forms of advertising do best for him, etc. as well as how he sources all the material he uses for his posts. All of it is very good reading and well worth any blogger’s time to research.

A big believer in content is king, John writes a lot. As of this writing — January 17th — he has 47 posts for January alone. This is definitely one blog you will want to get the RSS feed for, just to keep up. Don’t forget to visit the site however, as the comments left by readers is certainly worth checking back frequently.

I think what really appeals to a lot of people about John is that he not only covers the professional aspects of his success, but just enough personal things that make reading his blog, well, less bland (for lack of a better word). While he might gloat just a little bit, you can tell that he doesn’t take it seriously and has fun with what he does, which he should.

He also takes the time to respond to comments left in his blog. A mistake that I have seen in other high profile blogs before is that the owner doesn’t respond to anyone. I’ve even noticed that he reads at least some of the trackbacks left as well. All of this leads to a loyal readership.

So whether you are looking to see how a successful internet entrepreneur made his rise, or want to see how a blog can be turned into a success through advertising and traffic generating ideas JohnChow.com is should be on your reading list.
