Interview with John Chow (almost)

written by John Chow on August 30th, 2007

Ian Fernando has posted a video interview he did with me. The funny thing is I can’t remember doing this interview. Anyways, I figure you might enjoy this interview while I wait for Greg to upload my interview with Leo Laporte.

Yeah me too! The video might have been very cheesy, but at least the fella got some traffic heading his way… :)

Scary and disturbing. But, at least he gets to experience the John Chow Effect!

“Scary and disturbing”.
These were the same words that came to my mind initially. What is your take on this John? Flattered or a little scared? :)

Yeah a little bit freaky but certainly a great way to get exposure and quite neatly put together.

Well just put together your own video of an interview with John Chow!

Infact why not do a video duel of Probloger vs John Chow or something like that - sure to get you lots of attention, exposure and the desired John Chow affect! :lol:

When someone does something like that…

You know you’ve made it!

You should do a complete (not almost) interview video John! Maybe the John Chow podcast? I thought about doing a weekly video like problogger does, except my subject is…well skiing not as popular as making money :lol:

If he pronounced John’s last name properly it would have been convincing.

Pretty funny in a way - but the audio needs to be up a notch :wink:

I thought everyone knew how to say Chow. Good idea to get a JC link back I guess.

That is pretty good. I’d give him a high thumbs up for making that video. Well, maybe John will start posting all the youtube videos that we start making with his pictures….
Thinking of, I have a great idea for some funky videos. (Hint: use Photoshop) :evil: :evil: :evil: My evil roots are coming alive!

Ahah great idea Ian… got you posted on JohnChow.Com, mission accomplished! :mrgreen:

Now if John was so amused by this that he’ll grant you a real interview, you’ve really hit the jackpot!

John - Thanks - I knew this would catch your attention soon! For everyone I will take in your ideas - especially with the audio. I just started video marketing and I was just experimenting, as it was a second video that I made - maybe I just need a better camera, sorry for pronouncing your last name wrong too John my apologies.

I wonder how long it took to edit this all together? From the exposure he’s got on here though I’d say it was worth it.

Maybe John could do a weekly video post responding to readers questions on how to make money - a quick one minute tip for the week? Just a thought but after watching the video it got me thinking.
