Receiving a $10,000 Check

John, I am really impressed with the money that you are making on your blog.But you must know that for a blog to be successful, it must have a large number of committed readers. Your blog has a huge readership and without that you would not have been making all these monies. I therefore would like to suggest that you should be paying a certain percentage (10% or 20%) of your monthly income back to these readers as a token of appreciation to them. This kind of arrangement will not leave you in red simply because you will just be sharing a percentage of what you have earned in a particular month. You will have to devise a way of rewarding your readers by monitoring the level of activity on your blog (number of visits, comments and their value etc.).

Rewarding your readers will have a two-fold effect. Firstly, Your readers will feel rewarded and therefore they will become more motivated to be coming back to your blog again and again. This will cause new readers to flock to your blog resulting in more traffic and obviously more money.Secondly, you will be making even more money because of the great biblical principle which says...Blessed is the one that giveth than the one that receiveth.

Hello John, You should check your title on this page. It says:
Receiving a ,000 Check | John Chow dot Com
Just wanted to draw your attention to it.

I would like to take this Opportunity to present DotCom Mogul John Chow with a Certified Cheque for $1 BILLION DOLLARS!!
NOT!! :lol:

JC was waiting for Brian to finish talking and was like thinking 'just give me the darn moolah quick!' lol

Teach Me John....I Want To Be Like You..:)

You're soooo lucky. You could probably win the lottery with your first ticket.

While everyone will question whether it's ok or not to monetize, etc., etc., etc., I think this was REALLY cool and it was a great testimonial to a simple and positive concept - PAY IT FORWARD.

Good stuff, John.

It's amazing that people will pay to listen to a guy about how to make money who is doing the video at his apartment with a red sheet behind him covering up his window......come on people........seriously ?

Quick question John. Why are you helping promote a guy who does what you talk shit about in your free book (After spending $97 for a worthless piece of crap, the E book author would use this page to try to up sell you to another worthless piece of crap for even more money). Just curious.

Wow, great jon John...

Great Idea John

Seriously though - if he was planning to use this video for more PR in the future he could have taken about 3 minutes on his plane trip and planned out his thoughts a little better!! That was a tough 6:13 minutes to sit and watch.

That's a lot of comments right away. I think this $10,000 series is more popular than your "How to get a Girlfriend" series. Brian can sure talk a lot!

John Chow looks like a younger version of Tom Vu...You know the guy in the 90's on the boat with ladies selling who knows what

All i heard in the video was $10,000.Please give John the $10,000
check,he is obviously bored with your long speech.

John, i am evil!!! :) so you should donate a portion to an evil guy like me as well man...

Congrats for the big fat cheque you got there! :twisted: :twisted:

10k eh. That means a bigger blog contest ??

Woaw..$10K?Gimme some John, share wif someone in needs hehe :mrgreen:

Yes, he did "ramble" on for a bit, but that was completely to be expected. He obviously gave the $10,000 away for its marketing benefits - apart from short term buzz and possible press, it's a story with photos and video that he can use forever.

I'm sure part of the reason for giving the cash was genuinely to thank John for his blog post, but if he really wanted to just pay it forward he would have sent him a cheque privately/quietly.

If I was Brian I'd do the exact same thing and get as much air time out of the event as possible. As somebody previously commented, he wanted to get the best bang out of his $10,000 and airplane ticket (and hotel, etc.).

The one thing I think Brian might have wanted to do (I'm not sure if he did but I ton't think so) beforehand was contact some local press (Richmond/Vancouver) and tell them about the event. He could also have hired somebody to act as a type of mock interviewer/reporter to ask the questions and mediate the exchange. That would eliminate the need for Brian to have to kind of act as the "host" himself.

If he had just said "Here's the $10,000 cheque to John Chow. Thanks a lot John!", the whole thing would have been over in 15 seconds. So instead of 15-seconds of fame, he got 6:13 :P

John I love how you cut the video as soon as he says what he'll do with the other 15k lmao.

oh mu god..he is so nice man..willing to give out his $10k to you John..So how are you going to spend the $10k ?? :mrgreen:

share it out with your reader ? Good idea !! We are waiting !! :cool:

Brian easily got $10,000 worth of face time on John Chow dot com.

I started watching Brian's videos early on but I got bored. He doesn't generate the same empathy that Ed Dale does. Ed also started a facebook marketing course late last year on the subscription-based Immediate Edge, but a lot of the cutting edge Web 2.0 marketing stuff can be had for free on the thirty day challenge - http://tinyurl.com/5lzysb

You took this guy's money? Where is your shame, dude?

God, some of you people are so jaded.

I thought the video and the act of giving the money was really sweet. I really give props to Brian for doing what he did. I'm sure John has some juicy intentions with that check!

=^..^=

Oh the suspense... and the saga continues.

John looks bored out of his mind...

Why not give it to charity?

Or John, why don't you give the money to charity?

OMG JOHN CHOW!!!
Brian is a super nice guy...and all the people who showed up got a lifetime membership to his website. ;) Thanks Brian!
John: Time to pay it forward....to me.

that guy was so annoying. wow. especially when he did the teeth sucking, pause thing during his rant. wow.

The rich get richer... :roll:

Congrats on the nice "bonus"...

Some marketing methods I bet , I have to get a bit deeper into it. Haven`t heard of this product yet. But assuming it`s 50$ a copy that means he needs to sell 200 copies to make that 10,000$ in 37 days. It`s not something phenomenal.

Brian Campbell says on his Facebook profile :

"I'm famous on facebook for earning $25,171 on facebook in only 21 days, starting completely from scratch.

It only took me 16 days to make $10,000 and only 21 days to reach $25,171, starting completely from scratch."

The numbers changed a bit. :mrgreen:

What's the course that the guy sells? Does it teach Social Media Marketing tactics?

ohh now I get it , this guy actually uses facebook to sell something , I didn`t read his post back when it was written so I had no idea .. have to check it out. If he is able , then anyone is able to generate money from facebook , with some efforts. Congrats John! :grin:
A contest would be nice! A new Mac Air?

I have never heard someone tell the same thing over again so many times. I guess he wanted to get enough face time in to cover his plane ticket to Canada and the $10,000 hole in his pocket.

John, I think it's time for another contest. All the cash goes to one lucky winner. How's that sound?

Yes, he does look bored.

John, will you add this 10,000$ in your Income Report Post? I think it should be there. Probably a new record then :twisted:

Enjoy your 10K, you need 10K less to retire now :grin: Hey Brian, if you're reading. I've got tons of good karma to give out.. send some goodies my way and it'll all be yours.

You are evil!
First you write a post asking people to help a guy make 10k bucks, and then take the 10k bucks yourself :twisted:

Now, do something nice and donate it to the guy who wants to go to oxford.

Now you can justify selling review posts for $10,000!

Why do you look like you want to just take it from him mid speech? :twisted:

Woow USD10k ....
What is your plan ...contest!!!!

Dude, you look so bored while Brian was talking. I know you have a short attention span but...lol.

I'm going to re-dub this video with circus music and a caption that says "This is what's going on inside John's head."
