Will Blog for Food & Magazine Spread

written by John Chow on January 6, 2009

Make Money!

During last year’s Blog World Expo, Sarah and I got invited to dinner with Shawn Collins and Missy Ward, founders of the Affiliate Summit. In addition to the Affiliate Summit, Shawn and Missy are also the publishers of FeedFront Magazine.

FeedFront is the official magazine of the Affiliate Summit and is read widely by Internet marketers of all stripes. Each issue is filled with information to help you get the most out of your affiliate, Internet and blog marketing efforts. The cool thing about FeedFront is it’s free as long as you live in the US. For those outside the United States, FeedFront is available as a free PDF download.

The January issue of FeedFront, which will be the issue everyone will get at next week’s Affiliate Summit West, has an article about the Blog World affiliate dinner. When I got the invite for the dinner, it asked what T-shirt size I wore. When I got home, there was a “Will Blog For Food” T-shirt in my mail. A note said to take a pic of me wearing it and send it to Shawn. Well, now I know what the picture was used for. You can see me on page 43.

It looks like only six other people sent in their picture. Oh well, more exposure for me! :P

Looks pretty cool. Good work on the extra exposure, do you still need some of that? :)

John Chow January 6, 2009 at 6:37 pm

You can never have too much exposure! :D

AverageGal January 6, 2009 at 7:10 pm

Depends on what’s being exposed! ha
Looks like a fun dinner.

Gary Lee January 6, 2009 at 9:10 pm

John is all about exposure . . his nickname is “Spotlight”

Ben Pei January 8, 2009 at 6:55 am

LOL.. I like this..

Taris Janitens January 6, 2009 at 11:02 pm

Listen to the master – you can NEVER have too much exposure hehehe

Jon January 6, 2009 at 11:58 pm

A master is somebody who hasn’t fallen on their own sword yet… follow people because their advice makes sense, not because of who they are or done in the past.

Well, there is such a thing called overexposure & that’s no good! [Certain celebrities, anyone?]

Blog Expert January 7, 2009 at 8:29 am

Everyone wants a lot of exposure. And you definitely get it.

The more than better! We should all strive to be over-exposed ;)

Money Money Money January 7, 2009 at 10:48 am

John you never wrote about the food there or did i miss it?

Ruben Ricart January 6, 2009 at 7:11 pm

Thats great!! lol -love that t-shirt.

Tom - StandOutBlogger.com January 6, 2009 at 7:18 pm

I agree! that is the coolest shirt. I seriously want to buy one. haha

Steven-Sanders January 6, 2009 at 7:22 pm

Buy one? I want one for free! :)

I’m on there somewhere… if you’ll look right behind that guy… that one… hold your breath until you find me.

Monty - Sensonize.com January 7, 2009 at 12:41 am

I don’t see you :-/

Ben Pei January 8, 2009 at 6:56 am

Yeah me too.. Love such blogging shirts..

Wink January 6, 2009 at 7:15 pm

It seems that T-Shirts are a must thing when making money online. Another form of buzz I guess.

Ruben Ricart January 7, 2009 at 7:14 am

Good Observation “Wink” – I guess its all about exposure and marketing, look at Jeremy from ShoeMoney – he raised $10K for charity and the power behind that was t-shirt marketing and obviously his rank in the blogosphere helped but T-shirts, I guess thats the way to go – to cafepress I go.

game-girl January 6, 2009 at 7:19 pm

The T-shirt suits you well, and was of great help to be exposed.

jtGraphic January 6, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Is it just me or is John the buffest looking one? Too much time at the gym? Maybe that dude at the beach…

ZK@WebTrafficROI.com January 6, 2009 at 7:36 pm

Amazing dinner …..and great t shirt

VeRonda January 6, 2009 at 7:39 pm

This is cool. I agree, exposure is one of your greatest tools… I need to check out that magazine.

AJ Kumar January 6, 2009 at 8:35 pm

You know, I actually saw some wearing that shirt not too long ago…I wonder if it was one of the same guys. I bet someone will start selling that shirt asap!

Gary Lee January 6, 2009 at 8:43 pm

T-Shirts are just great at conferences, especially at conferences like blog world where a lot of bloggers are going to be armed with cameras and their laptops.

GP January 6, 2009 at 8:46 pm

Looks like a fun time was had by all. Wow! I want one of those T-shirts!. Cool pics as well.

Tyrone Shum January 6, 2009 at 8:53 pm

Hey John,

How come you didn’t have food whilst taking a photo with your shirt? I know if I was given food every hour, you won’t be seeing me blogging!

James Ting January 6, 2009 at 9:43 pm

Really Cool T-shirt and wonderful dinner.

Web Prosperity January 6, 2009 at 10:00 pm

Looks like fun times. I was actually in Vegas on Sept 19, but one year before on 2007. And anybody else notice that there’s more red wine at John’s table compared to the rest?

Sweet shirt, but I want a JohnChow.com shirt…right now, please and stuff like that.
