Week 6 - Blogger Review: John Chow


John Chow is an entrepreneur blogger who has made money solely working through the Internet and blogging. A self-proclaimed “dot com mogul”, John Chow’s blog, John Chow dot Com The Miscellaneous Ramblings of a Dot Com Mogul” informs other bloggers how they too can make money utilizing the internet and its opportunities.  Aside from these helpful tips, such as investing, and advertising, Chow’s blog is also peppered with rambles about cars, food, technology, and other random tangents.

An entrepreneur in Canada, John Chow left his job of 10 years at a printing company in April of 1999 to start up his website, TheTechZone, focused on technology and hardware. TheTechZone is now one of the largest hardware tech sites on the Internet. He later created TTZ Media, an advertising network that provides contextual advertising to hardware and other electronic products. He started this personal blog in 2005, and has been blogging to this day.

Through his use of humorous and professional language, John Chow’s blog is both informational and entertaining. While some posts, especially those specifically written geared towards blogging how-to’s, may go over certain reader’s heads, a great deal of the posts are also an easy-read, thus luring both aspiring bloggers and bored web-surfers.

Though the blog itself has a few too many ads, it only shows how John Chow has managed to make $40,000 a month using his blogs and advertisement. Aside from that, the blog is easy to access, easy enough to navigate, easy to read, easy enough to comprehend, and incredibly helpful for future bloggers.
