In The Vancouver Sun Tomorrow

Hey John,

Not sure if anyone else asked but how were you approched by the Sun?

A couple of people at work were like.. hey if you had a blog you could make easy money. I was like umm a) I do have a blog (yes its temp down until personal issues are settled) and b) there are thousands of blogs out there that don't make money.

Only the really good ones make money right? :)

Have you tracked your traffic since the article was in the paper? I'd like to see/hear what type of traffic increase you've received!

Hey John,
How much do you make after you pay your Adwords?
That might be of interest to the readers.

Congrats, John. You'll have to get us a link. In the meantime, I'm headed to the website now. :)

Man chow is making some big news these days.

Great stuff.

I see you're taking a page or two from Tyler Dikman's book. Good idea! ;)

Wow, I'm kinda surprised they didn't round it up to $3,500 like most papers.

Did they interview you as well? either ways I'd be glad to read a copy of it.

John Chow your da MAN!!!

Great Job, on your success, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, HELPING, SHARING, TEACHING OTHER PEOPLE TO HAVE SUCCESS!!!!!

Nicely done John, this will no doubt mean some extra visitors, or at least for the next days ;)

Hey Chow,its impressive and motivating,keep up the good work.Here i am as promised to see your good work.

Congratulations on making it into the newspapers, that is amazing, your blog is one of my two favourite blogs on the internet, I am sure it will continue to reach much higher levels of success.

HAHAHA you brag about $3,000 a month? I make $15,000 a DAY. You are a small fish John. A VERY small fish.

This shows that sometimes you just cannot measure a blogs success in trackbacks, diggs, and technorati links. When it makes print you sure have succeeded at your goal of becoming an influential blogger.

Congratulations! As I started reading your blog just some days ago I thought it was really helpful and had a lot of good content. You deserved it =)

Great job getting noticed in the paper John! Congrats!

You got a really awesome blog here, with some very inspiring content. You definitely deserve this recognition =)

Congratulations John!

We need to start a contest to guess which day you'll break the Technorati 100.

I say, Feb 27th!
I think Heywood will make a special report when you do!

Good work!

Great work John, well deserved. Your site continues to be a fantastic source of useful, and most importantly, usable information.

Today the Sun, Tomorrow the NY Times? Better get those evil powers working.

And posting this took you what, five minutes? It's the kind of leverage only the mind of an entrepreneur can fathom.

Congratulations on my behalf as well.

Congrats John,

I love your blog and you deserve the publicity. Now if only I could get a copy here in Bangkok.

Nice job ... but is that a John Chow wax figure?! ;)

Can't wait to see what (nice) things they have to say.

Who cares if people throw up MFA sites because of the article--they're already doing it, so what's a few more?

nice work John. Congrats

I was just wondering if you paid for the ad or did they just pick you up...cause I noticed how you said a little promo...so I was just wondering? either way great stuff!

John, why does it not look like you're wearing a shirt in that picture? :P

Seriously though, congrats on making it into the local paper.

I really enjoy your blog, I have been reading it for a few weeks now and have basically went through all of your posts learning about all of your experiences and experiments.

I just started my own blog and I quote you on it :)

You STUD!

Hi Joao,

The fun part is: you are referring to my blog!

Anyway, I agree with your comment.

I dont know whats up with your comments. The last comment was made by me, and i thought the URL box kept my url since my last comment but in fact there was a different url there! Don't know whats up! Anyway i meant what i said! :)

your blog inspires a lot...how i wish i will be like yours...im just a starter blogger and dream of a big success in blogging.

My congratulations John. You really deserve it!

Hope your prepared for the flood of traffic. Next month you should think about upping your ad rates! Congratulations!

I will echo others comments. Congratulations!
When are you going to check out a fast food joint? I think Tim Hortons needs more publicity!!!:)
Great job on getting into the Main Stream Media...again.

Well, I hate to rain on the parade, but I think this is bad.

This is what people are going to take away from the headline (the first thing they see):
spends two hours a day

makes $3,440.66

This (much like similar articles) opens the floodgates, people will start just throwing up sites to make that $8798.00/month without doing anything, or so they think.

MFA sites and plenty more useless sites will follow, people will see dollar signs and few will succeed.

Please, don't pull the whole; Whats the matter are you afraid of a little competition? Hardly.

It's just bad. And yes you are the root of all evil.

And for cryin' out loud, eat at a Applebees or Chili's for once

It's great to see John, nice to be recognized for all the hustling.

While I'm sure that the 2 hours per day of actual blogging is accurate, it doesn't factor in all the hours of evil plotting and planning that you must put in as well.

I know my evil to work ratio is like 3:1 at least...

They got it up faster than your last article. Instead of 4 weeks, it only took...4 days?
