On The Cover of The Ming Pao Magazine

Thats so cooolll

more publicity is good for johnchow.com

it look more like a magazine rather than newspaper

The number of visitors must greatly increase in the coming days !

Congrats John,
I myself am a student studying Chinese, so I found this post particularly interesting.

It looks like you could be soon in people magazine... Do you see some efect in you pages? I belive you will post some reports how your stats are doing now...

Fabulous website! And an amazing succeess, I'd say! Learn more Chinese by making a vast journey in China and Tibet as I did in August. :grin: Vancouver is a great place with awesome surroundings - but Chinese scenery is a blast nobody should miss out on....

Congratulations John !!!! It's sad that you can't read chinese. As you said that this is one of the biggest Chinese language newspapers and your article has been featured on it, I am sure you would have got a word to word translation done of the whole article, but ya, reading on your own would have been so much more satisfying. Anyways I think you need to go for chinese classes now.......

John Chow: can i have your signature? :oops: i am your super fan. :lol: maybe your signature will worth money. lol.

真好, 为华人争光。

Well anyway in Malaysia we were taught Chinese in simplified form for quite a long time already. Regardless, the food stalls in Malaysia and some local newspapers still use TCC.

I read both, just that I read SCC faster and better. :)

This Canada edition of Ming Pao is in Traditional Chinese Character. TCC is mainly used in HK, Taiwan whereas the Simplified Chinese Character is used in China, Singapore and Malaysia. For the younger generation, many will only able to read the SCC.
I can read both types.
In term of marketing, SCC is more accessible than TCC. Just look at this figures 1,000,000,000(1Billion) vs 50,000,000(50Million).

Congratulations!
You're a celeb in china :grin:

So tell us John, are you getting more media coverage because of the blog than you did from TTZ?

Oh my gosh. This will surely give the website a boost. As I have always said, the more visitors equals more possibly cash. Good luck man.

wow you famous :grin:

I was wondering how much copy of Ming Pao was distributed. John Chow is hot now. Searching for the english edition now

the front page title is in Chinese cantonese, read "the king of earning".

Congrats John

Congratz John... :razz: :grin: :smile: :wink:

The article certainly says "Chinese dot Com Mogul conquers Canada" More grease to your elbows John :razz:

So cool :D

Greart effort John. Crossing media platforms can really open up your website to a whole new audience, will be interesting to see if you get any type of traffic spike from this?

I was on the front cover of PC Pro back in 2004 (talk about living on past glories) and I'm sure it really helped a lot to put me where I am now.

Wow... Really you're wonderful guy who makes perfect money online thats why you're in the cover story. congrats...

Congrats on the cover! I'll try to pick up a MingPao tomorrow.

I am Chinese and i may help u to translate what are they saying~ i am currently studying in Singapore and hence i know both Chinese and English. :)

I know Chinese but Ming Pao is not available in Malaysia. Can send me a copy? :lol:

I know Chinese as well but I don't have access to Ming Pau since it is not available in Malaysia. Can post a copy for me? :lol:

With a voice not for radio and a face not for TV or print you should just keep blogging John!

Hearty congratulations John!!! Keep up good work!

Congratulations Mr Chow. That is great to have bloggers on the press :wink:

Nice coverage. First thing tomorrow, I'm going to buy a copy, just for inspiration.

I am sure the article tells everyone to start blogging and make money online. :mrgreen:

Congrats on more media coverage. Newspaper, TV, and Magazines.

Great work John!

Good stuff mate, forging the way forward

WOW

John on magazine :D

hehe~ u are my idol man~ To my suprise, u cant read chinese~ haha! Anyway, Chinese support Chinese!

Internationally recognized. That's just awesome dude :cool:

Old Chinese men are probably reading the article and yelling and pointing at him because he doesn't have a real job :razz:

Oh by the way John I'm making money online thanks a lot to your help and others such as Kumiko and Maki, I'm currently doing US30-50 every day so am grateful for the help, it's helping me pay my way to Spain for a visit for 3, 4 months

And when I get there I don't need to have as much $ as other people because I have an online income!

God bless the internet

This is like a delirious life moment for me because finally there's something I've done that John hasn't....

I'm surprised that's your biggest media coup John, you could seriously get so much more coverage than that.

You just have to understand that most media don't look for stories, they wait for the stories to come to them

I wrote this article on Feb:
7 things you need to know about getting your business into the media.

I've learnt more since then.... But I was on the national news on all major channels in Australia, on the morning shows the day after, on all the major radio stations in Australia. (Literally. It was a very, very tiring process.)

Then the international media picked up on it and BBC reported it, The Guardian in London wrote about it.. I made front page of New Zealand's biggest newspaper (they didn't even call me for an interview so I found this one out 3 weeks later..!)

Jeff Crilley's book Free Publicity is tiny but absolute gold. I would recommend it to anyone. I know I can easily replicate what I did into another national story given the right circumstances.

You could easily parlay your experience in blogging into national tv in Canada.

So could Darren Rowse for that matter.. hmm....

He is a celebrity now..
"Blog celebrity.' John CHow.. maybe popular than Jackie Chan...
Maybe after this he will appear on commercial tv...

Congrats Mr. Chow! I never knew you were Chinese, I thought you were Korean. Learn something new everyday.
