John Chow in the Richmond News
written by John Chow
I’m in this week’s edition of the Richmond News newspaper. The Richmond News is a community paper that goes to every house and business in the city of Richmond. The paper got a hold of me because of The Province newspaper article about BC’s Dot Com Moguls.
This latest coverage underscores my post on how to get old world media coverage. In that post, I said you should started with the biggest paper in town and work down. If you can get into a really big paper like The Province, chances are good that the smaller community papers will want to talk to you and give you even more exposure. Every blogger should work on getting mainstream media coverage. It’s one of the things that will make you stand out from the 117+ million blogs (plus 175,000 more per day) out there.
The Richmond News article gave me a plug on the cover using the tag line “Million Dollar Blogger.” The writer got a few facts incorrect (I didn’t go from $3,400 to $30K in four months) but nothing major. You can read the full article by clicking on the image below.

Good job. Another newspaper appearance for you. I get the Richmond News too and I saw the article about you this morning. Congratulations and hope more papers will reach you soon.
Yeah, and put that news cutting on your computer desk, it will inspire you for making big in blogsphere.
Indeed John - this great for you, more exposure = more visitors = more money. Well done!
Great job John!
I love reading about these successfull bloggers past jobs and how they got to where they are now. I’m sure that this latest article is going to through the income over the $38k mark. Congrats John!
My day job is at a community newspaper in Florida and never underestimate the power of the press! I am happy to help people put together press releases. Drop me a line and we can work something out.
I’d say your getting recognized! much deserved success
Yeah. Good success. Everyone will know about John now. He had been focussed on another news paper recently. Great job!
Nice, congrats John.
When I first saw the thumbnail of the article, I saw the glanced over the author’s name and for a brief second when I saw “Mich”, I thought Mr. Kwan had written the article!
Interesting article, I actually learned a few things about John’s background in this one. Have you been back to your hometown? My parents went back to Canton 2 (maybe 3) years ago.
I haven’t been back there in over a decade but I need to. Have to decide what to do with the old house.
Your family still own it?
When my dad went back, he found the place completely rebuilt. The only thing left was the park/creek close to his home
A nice little article there. All quite positive except for being called lanky.
Nice one!
Very good point about starting big and then going small… it’s much more effective than the other way around.
Congradulations!
Congrats, John! You are an inspiration to all of us. http://www.adawnjournal.com
Hello master John, just want to say hello from Indonesia.
Have a nice day.
Thats a nice reach for bloggers. Hats off for you man…
Entrepreneur dot com too
Congratulations John! Well deserved success with all the quality stuff you post. Thanks for all the knowledge.
Awesome.
My goal is to be in the press soon. Seeing you in newspaper articles is a huge motivation. Thanks for sharing.
It isnt that easy.
By the way, I’ve been in newspapers before. I used to play chess. My photo was twice in the paper, once for being 8th in nationals. Another time for winning some competition, dont remember. I think more times, names have been a lot of times.
Congrats again John! I’m actually listening over the internet to a Richmond station right now (but its one Richmond, Virginia).
So you know how this process works right? Newspapers then magazine features, then radio, and then TV interviews. One medium might jump the gun, but that’s essentially the climb. By the end of this year I would NOT be surprised if you’re offered a show one of the cable channels. So expect to hear from G4 around Fall…
Well written article.
Had a good read!
Congrats
Fantastic and congratulation
I say this a little sheepishly, but…
RE: The TechZone
“It’s a technology website that reviews high-tech products,” says Chow. “Manufacturers send me products and I review them.”
When was the last time you actually wrote a review for TTZ?
It’s mostly the Michael Kwan Show these days. lol
Michael telling us how it is
Congratulations John. This is superb !!
Hi John,
Congratulation on your coverage by the Richmond News.
I actually keep that copy as a reminder that internet marketing really works.
I’ve learning a lot about internet marketing and reading about your success I think it is time to take action and jump into the water and start swimming.
I’m wondering if you would be so kind to show me some guidance and pointed me into the right direction in my internet marketing endeavor.
Thanks in advance,
Hardy
Congratulations, John! My wife read the article and showed it to her sister - who is still skeptical that you can make that much and that YOU are willing to talk about it and share how you did it. But you know what, now she’s after me to start making $30k per month!!!
Regards,
Mohamed
what a success for you john.
Congrats yet again John
-Mike

What you wanna say here Mr. chow ( Forth Column)?
“If one of my bloggers put something up on my site, I count that as one (of my entries)” say Chow
It Technically is…he’s saying he posts 3 entries a day and counts a guest post as one of them
That’s great and informative post.
Rest of comment are already made - i loved the way you highlighted facts.
