A few good notes

Growing up, we all have people we want to be like. At that moment, there would be “nothing better in the world to be like Xyz”. A lot of us who play(ed) basketball tried to be as much as His Airness Michael Jordan. Watching Michael play gave goosebumps every time. “If I could only do half of what that man can do.”

In the same way, when you enter the global blogosphere as participant, there will be people who will attract your attention and usually be your inspiration to get a lot done. To me one of those people was John Chow.

It was one of those moments when you browse and your eye falls on one of those Ads by Gooooooooogle (enough o’s?) and you just click, because there is a word in the ad that sounds interesting. From that moment I have been busy with John’s website almost a quarter of the time I’m sitting at my desk.

The amount of information on this site can be considered very helpful. The “Make money from your blog” category kept me busy for a while. It actually is still keeping me busy. This category is loaded with tips on how to make your blog ready to make money.

In the near future I will start reviewing sites in exchange for a linkback, a concept I learned from John. Even though I eventually will be charging for those reviews, I don’t mind doing it just to be able to grow.

Through his site, I got to know of the existence of programs and services like Feedburner, MyBlogLog and Text Link Ads. I felt a certain amount of stimulation after “discovering” his site.

I do notice that there is a lot of advertising going on, especially on the home page. This makes it a little less easy to read through the content. But I also understand that those ads are paying the bills (and more…).

I might not be profiting from my blog in the near future as much as John does, but I will make sure that I suck out every bit of information that is available on his website, that can help me present my blog to a constantly growing audience.

For now, John Chow dot Com gets 4,5 out of 5 stars.
