A long time ago, when I first thought of doing a website, long before I started helping Justin with Gametactics, I read surfed around quite a few different geekish sites, trying to find where I fit into the whole of geekdom. Hardware related sites featured heavily, and one of these was The Tech Zone. I visited it every day, almost religiously. I loved it.
I’m not going to talk about that site, instead I’d rather talk about John Chow dot Com, the home of, err, John Chow.
John “Mogul” Chow runs The Tech Zone, but he also runs a successful blog, in which he documents about the latest and greatest in his life. This includes, and is not limited to: Cars and Fast Things, Food and Restaurants, Technology He Likes, and Making Money.
The Making Money aspect is the main draw to the site, since he’s been extremely adept at doing it. Seriously. He talks about the deals page on The Tech Zone being non-stop affiliations, Adsense effectiveness, Pay Per Post reviews, that AGLOCO thing that seems to be the same as AllAdvantage before that shut down, and generally anything that involves promoting the blog so more people see and click on the advertising. Heck, he’s even asked for reviews about the blog in return for a link back, which is a fantastic idea that I wish I’d thought of first.
He has a fantastic array of articles (such as the Portable Office which I paid homage to) and ideas to make your blog better/profitable, that he makes me jealous.
He’s even photographing the fancy food at the fancy restaurants that he goes to because he can afford it all. And that’s definite proof that what he’s doing works.
(And no, I’m not going to take photos of my food to put up here. Once you’ve seen one Domino’s Pizza, you’ve seen them all…)
