LuluGal at Save Money came to me ranting and raving about this John Chow dude. I didn’t really understand what she was talking about. She gets kind of crazy sometimes. She insists that I should do a review of John Chow’s site, so here it is :-)

So what is this blog about? It’s a general blog, like this one, however what caught my eye was the earnings his blog is receiving. One reason he’s been able to do this is because he has an incredibly high Technorati rating (1,239) last time I checked. He started this blog back in December of 2005, so he’s had more than enough time to rack up traffic. And noting he rather regular posting schedule that adds up to a lot of posts and a lot of traffic. Way to go John Chow. In September of 06 he rack up over $300 in Adsense alone. That alone is more than I’ve made in years, but hey, he’s John Chow. After adding other income sources (Google AdSense, Vibrant IntelliTXT, TTZ Media, Text Link Ads, FeedBurner Ads, ReviewMe, Direct Ad Sales, Affiliate Sales and Free Stuff) the guy racked up over $2,500. Now that was his December income. More than enough to pay off his holiday shopping. One thing I don’t understand is that in January people are usually broke from holiday shopping. But some how, he earn almost $3,500 by the end of January. Just to clear up any misconceptions, this is not a running total, this is every month. I just got myself a nice new job after four years of college and this guy is rivaling my monthly salary with his blogging income. How I would love the life of a pro blogger.

But if you look at the history of his blog, you’ll see that he has done a lot to get where he is. As we’ve always heard pro blogging is not something you can do overnight, so don’t quit your day job people and try not to blog too much at your day job :-).

Congratulations John Chow. I look forward to when your blog earnings surpass my income.
