Here is the video of the interview I did on the Lab with Leo Laporte. I want thank Greg Morgan for ripping the interview off his TiVO and uploading it to YouTube. Greg did need my help to do it however. He had no way to transferring a TiVO show into his computer so I gave him a cool little video capture device from ADS Tech call InstantDVD + MP3. The device did a great job. Enjoy the video.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

you may take the title of “King of All Media” from Howard Stern
that’s a such casual talk show
i rather like it
i’m quite surprised that leo laporte did not know ReviewMe
Yeah, me too.
From listening to TWIT (the tech podcast of Leo’s), I’ve found that sometimes he doesn’t know some of the most general things the slightly more then casual Internet surfer would know. Then he’ll come out of nowhere and surprise me with the amount of other tech stuff he does know!
But how many media outlets does John use? Maybe he can take the internet title away from Al Gore!
Definitely – what about a worldwide radioshow?
Thanks, I look forward to watching this
No one want to miss this one.
Just watched it. SO cool, I must say. That Leo guy is so adorable. Well, you are, too, John, but I guess you already knew that.
Wow, I’m surprised that you guys don’t know about Leo. He’s very famous amongst geeks, at least those who watched TechTV before it was bought out by that horrible G4TV network.
Oh, I know! G4TV is sooo… bleh. TechTV was way better!
I agree TechTV was much better than G4TV. ‘Call For Help’ and ‘The Screensavers’ with Leo was great back then.
Very nicely done, saw this over on Harpzon first
.
Great promotion for your blog. I noticed your RSS has gone way up recently.
Traditional media still a good way to promote websites. My blog has been noticed on some news paper then in that day or two they brought me lots traffic.
Same here. Anybody who thinks TV, radio, or print is useless for promoting a website obviously needs to try it! Chances are they’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Wow, yeah! A 218 jump in the readers!
Congratz!
I agree with Lewis Empire, it’s a great promotion for the blog
Nice done.
Keep the great job.
take care
John, did you get any traffic from doing the show?
Yeah, I was about to ask that exact same question! Any decent traffic spike recently?
No doubt, john will get some traffic from the interview.
Well, just 2 days ago John Chow had around 5k feed readers…today John has reached 6k readers the whole day. I would believe he has received a nice “spike” of traffic (even tho i don’t know when the show went live, or when was the video uploaded).
i’m sure it helps
there’s always some figures that remain after such spikes.
I believe he did, at least in RSS readers. Unless it was just a coincidence, but it does look like he got a good chunk of new readers.
Great! Thanks for ripping the interview. Now everyone can enjoy it.
Nice stuff. Maybe you should ask for some sort of kickback from ReviewMe, TLA, and Kontera for plugging them in the interview.
Good point! I think john don’t need ask for it. Eventually, those ad networks will pay him. More people know about those ad networks, more advertiser will come to JohnChow.com either buy reviews or links. Good for John.
John is not that
But he should get a kickback from The Lab with Leo for promoting the show with is blog. Now, that would be
Oh they’re probably already thinking of taking John out for lunch or something. Those sponsored meals aren’t too bad, if you ask me.
3 reviews $1200? Shouldn’t that be $600 since reviewme takes 50% ?
Yes but it’s the speed of the interview that did not left him time to correct Leo on that.
oooooh, ok.
You are right, JohnCOW
They just misunderstood with the 400$ reviewme banner, and Our Mr.Chow just kept quite
I would see
in that too..
@ John… Any updates about ur ranking in Google ??
Really? I had no idea they took 50% of it…
That kind of … sucks.
We all misspeak from time to time, right?
Cool! I cant wait to watch!
for me watching from India, where I dunno whats this Lab with Leo all about… I feel labwitgleo.com is promoting his site with help of JohnChow…
John you should have charged him or a review too
“That’s always a possibility, but at the moment, NO”
Watched it once, now I gotta watch it again. You know just to make sure I got all the tips even the subliminal ones.
there’s no point watching it twice as you know it all by reading john’s blog
Or perhaps I just like to watch the master at work.
Maybe John’s subliminal messages are forcing you to watch again and again…
John’s evil laugh is trying to tell me something …
great interview
kudos John!
I like that you showed him what he was doing wrong. He clearly had not read your http://www.johnchow.com/book/make-money-online.pdf other wise he would have known how to become part of the Kontera profit making empire. Oh well too bad for him. I’m sure you had him sit down and read it immediately off the air.
Hahaha, he probably did make John sit there and ask a lot of questions after. Did he do that John?
John, you are now a star! Time to start going out in public in disguises so you don’t get mobbed!
With a guy that tall and good looking? It’s gonna be tough disguising himself in public.
time for your own reality tv-show!
Out of curiosity, how nervous were you on the set John? You seemed rather quiet.
And I thought you were more charismatic than what I saw in that vid! :-p
Yeah, it did look like he was a little nervous, but I’m sure that’s because he hasn’t done a lot of on-air interviews before.
Awesome interview. I think Leo was able to get a lot of info from John in such a short time. Good stuff, great show. Thanks for sharing the clip with us!
John,
You look good on TV!
Darin
John not just looks good. He looks GREAT!
Great interview. That was something! Grats John, one more time.
It’s cool that you got the interview, more exposure and more money!! But I hate it when they ask those questions and they either already know the answer or they are just following their script. But hey, if we wanna be like you John, it’s just something we’ll have to deal with!!
Thats cool
Congrats on the interview John! It looks like your RSS readers has increased by a great amount!
Nice clip, thanks for sharing. This is the first time I’ve seen Leo since back in the TechTV “The ScreenSavers” day.
That’s pretty cool John. How long have you lived in Canada? Your voice doesn’t sound like you’ve lived there long. Or is english your second language?
The more exposure the better – John’s got the internet on lockdown, now it’s time for the small screen. Who knows, maybe we’ll see a johnchow.com promo on a summer blockbuster movie next!
That would be amazing!!
Thats For that Video..
Awesome video, though it was funny because all the info was so obvious to all your current readers. I liked it!
I am new to all of this, but I have found everything I have read, and now watched very helpful. Thanks for helping the future possibilities of others. Peace!!
Haven’t been keeping up with what Leo has been up to, but I thought it was a nice video, and contained some interesting information about your blog John.
Saw this on Mitch’s blog, I found it really interesting. Congrats
hey that looks pretty cool
yeah, a born media professional!
I’ve been waiting for this video. Thanks.
how long have you been waiting?
Saw u on Lab w Leo… cool.
Does that little dvd gizmo also rip Rogers Motorola PVR?
How about making your site a little more mobile friendly?
Thanks 4 all the great ideas.
cj
Yes it can rip from any PVR.
I finally got a chance to watch this. It was great, everything John talked about on the show he has blogged about.
John, have you ever thought of starting a vlog with like the latest tips and tricks told by you and recorded on a video clip? I guess that this could drive a great interest towards you and the thing you do and tell people.
Great spot! Thanks for the tips, John.
great media coverage john!
I don’t care what the critics say, John. I thought you did a great job with the interview and you got across the main points that you discuss in your blog. I have learned a lot by reading your blog over the past few weeks and have started a blog of my own. It’s still a work in progress but I am learning a lot by reading your site. Keep up the great work!
