John Chow in the Richmond News
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.

Reply to this commentGreat job John!
Reply to this commentI 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!
Reply to this commentMy 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.
Reply to this commentI’d say your getting recognized! much deserved success
Reply to this commentYeah. Good success. Everyone will know about John now. He had been focussed on another news paper recently. Great job!
Reply to this commentNice, congrats John.
Reply to this commentWhen 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.
Reply to this commentI haven’t been back there in over a decade but I need to. Have to decide what to do with the old house.
Reply to this commentYour family still own it?
Reply to this commentWhen 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.
Reply to this commentNice one!
Very good point about starting big and then going small… it’s much more effective than the other way around.
Reply to this commentCongradulations!
Reply to this commentCongrats, John! You are an inspiration to all of us. http://www.adawnjournal.com
Reply to this commentHello master John, just want to say hello from Indonesia.
Reply to this commentHave a nice day.
Thats a nice reach for bloggers. Hats off for you man…
Reply to this commentEntrepreneur dot com too
Reply to this commentCongratulations John! Well deserved success with all the quality stuff you post. Thanks for all the knowledge.
Reply to this commentAwesome.
My goal is to be in the press soon. Seeing you in newspaper articles is a huge motivation. Thanks for sharing.
Reply to this commentIt 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.
Reply to this commentCongrats 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…
Reply to this commentWell written article.
Had a good read!
Congrats
Reply to this commentFantastic and congratulation
Reply to this commentI 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
Reply to this commentMichael telling us how it is
Reply to this commentCongratulations John. This is superb !!
Reply to this commentHi 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,

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

I’ve just shown this article to my mom
and she likes it (and I think you, John, also).
Reply to this commentI just think that they wrote 4 months to get more attention in their news paper because you know media have to exaggerate to get attention.
Good going John .. lots of promotion :p
Reply to this commentCongratulations by the way john
Reply to this commentYou don’t get press like this until you have made it already.
Reply to this commentCongrats. Nice article.
Reply to this commentThe John Chow brand is getting bigger and bigger every day! Congrats John!
Reply to this commentGoing to break the million dollar mark? That’s a pretty admirable level. It would be nice if I could get to the 2,000 mark on rss subscribers, I’ll work on the million dollar mark after that.
Reply to this commentcongratulations!!!!! keep up the good work
Reply to this commentGood stuff. The recognition has to feel very satisfying. But you know what, people will read that article and will automatically conclude they can’t do what you do. Amazing. Poor souls.
Reply to this commentCongratulations John.. the good work
Reply to this commentJohn
I visited TTZ Media website but since there is no help page or faq page I didn’t sign up. Just wanted to know the basic stuff first e.g. how much can I make, etc.

Reply to this commentWow John, you are starting to master print media pretty good. With your multiple mentions on TV and in print media, you should be famous enough to get your own Wikipedia article!
congrats.
Reply to this commentIt would be nice to see a general breakdown of your revenue. The blog it making $30k per month, but that’s far from $1mm in revenue for 12-months time. That type of info would help teach readers how different internet properties work together, and which ones are making the larger percentage of your income, as well as shows that it’s possible to manage multiple internet properties all at the same time.
Reply to this commentCongratulations - first on getting closer to the million dollar mark and also on being featured in the article. It’s a pretty good article too. It’s great that the free exposure keeps coming for you.

Excellent work John as usual
