John Chow, a real success through Blogging

Since this is the weekend, I thought I take a break and have some fun with the game from John Chow, the dot com Mogul. Being 3rd place in comparison with other scores I am pretty proud of it, but then that is after a hour of playing it...lol.

His site http://www.Johnchow.com is a web site which he tells his story of how he has made his fortune through his blog. I personally like his blog quite a bit because his blog brings a more raw tone to the table. Unlike other bloggers such as Pro Blogger or Shoemoney, the biggest difference is the realness in his blog on how he communicates with his readers. This is very key! Sometimes we tend to find ourselves trying very hard to polish our writings and miss out on what the "general public" really understands which may differ in our area of expertise. To really convey quality information to your readers, you must speak in the same language and that is to never assume any understandings about the subject. John Chow does a very good job on it and I find it very easy to follow and it has definitely helped enhance some of my knowledge.

A huge trap that bloggers have fallen tends to be the failure to communicate to their users. Without direct connection between the readers and the quality information on the post, readers will most often lose site of the content because it is at heart a blog and not a book. It is similar to you going to a speech taught by a well known business CEO. Although the speeches are always great, you will almost always failed to connect to the heart of the topic directly. A bad tendency that I see even with very experienced bloggers, is whenever the blogger has a very strong group of loyal readers they would tend to focus on the group too closely that they fail to see and exploit its new traffic in connection. Whether it is due to the lack of knowledge from readers or understanding, bloggers should never fail to understand the purpose of blogs and the reason why people like reading them instead of a book.

His blog brings many of his experiences in a very transparent way. Although not extremely polished, I find it to be the advantage of John Chow for the readers to relate to his blog. As a Canadian, he's just like any other person like you and I. After starting a blog back in December of 2005 he is making thousands of dollars blogging. What this means to every reader or writer of blogs is that anyone can make money through blogging. It's a definite a good read and an encouragement to all bloggers. Do keep in mind though, that he has kept up the blog for more then 2 years, so no if you want to pull a fast one it ain't happening. He owns TTZ and other web sites, you can check him out here! Have a good weekend.

A Blog's Silent Killer

Many of us blog everyday in hopes that our blog would be recognized or through it to make some money but did you know that there's one area a lot of us overlook which may potentially kill off all of our traffic? Traffic means money and today's topic is an area which I have been treaking around for some time and I do have to say before I continue to write that I was at one point failing to recognize the problem. It is something crucial and as a blogger I wish someone would have told me earlier.

The silent killer lies within the widget itself that we embedd into our blog itself. I do talk extensively in details through my video but it's important to understand the nature of each widgets or code that you add into your blog. Elimination of any pop-up is very key when selecting a widget to install to your blog and be sure to always check your privacy report to see what type of programs each widgets bring to your site. Failing to eliminate these unwanted pop-ups, it will kill your traffic not only from some of your local visitors but in a globally scaled standpoint. To make money smart, it's not running after the traffic necessarily but how to retain your target audiences!

Get paid for blogging

If you are visiting my site, you're most likely to be a blogging enthusiast youself. In whatever field of your interest it may be, through blogging it's always a real cool channel to share your point of view with the rest of the world. What if I tell you that you can make cash while blogging? That's right, there are companies out there that are willing to pay their bloggers to do nothing other then to blog! The company that I have encountered is called Blogvertise.

How does Blogvertise work? Basically advertisers pays Blogvertise to promote the company, product, or service that they are trying to sell to the general public and Blogvertise then in turn comes to bloggers like you and I for the solution. For bloggers, we are basically being asked to help advertise these companies coming to Blogvertise by writing a blog about them. You might think that means spamming your whole blog or changing the nature of the blog into an engine basically as an additional avenue for nothing then advertisers right? The answer is no, because if that was the case then I wouldn't join them myself either. The requirements are very easy, Blogvertise asks their bloggers to something in the nature of three paragraphs pointing out the advertisers and the rest is free game. You may go on and talk about what you blog best and continue engaging with your readers. Isn't that such a cool idea? Personally, I think for bloggers it can't get easier to rake in some extra cash close to doing nothing extra.

How much does Blogvertise pay? It is based on many factors from the advertisers such as the amount of traffic coming to your blog, popularity of the subject, and the advertisers in your field. Don't worry, Blogvertise pays their bloggers at least $5 or more per advertisement entries that you write about from my personal experience so it's pretty darn good for a blog.

I would say that I'm a pretty skeptical guy, but then I'm going to receive my first check from

Blogvertise soon so I think it's pretty fair to say that they're legitimate. Have a great weekend and good luck making money! :)
