Wordpress Blogging Mastery Malaysia

John Chow has been making money by blogging about making money blogging for more than a year. This 42-year-old Richmond, British Columbia entrepreneur has been reportedly making his income from John Chow Dot com which has increased more than 50 fold since he began blogging. From a mere $353 a month to an annual income of $300,000. Chow makes an average of $25,000 a month for sitting at home doing what Chow describes as “rambling.”

And he is not the only blogger who makes money by blogging. Over the past year the blogosphere has changed significantly. With already-huge community doubling to more than 114 million blogs worldwide and as many as 175,000 new sites springing up daily, according to Technorati.

Many like Chow, Perez Hilton and Arianna Huffington whom all explored this new moneymaking service by exploring the territory beyond Google AdSense. Chow uses more than 100 ad networks, like AuctionAds and Kontera ContentLink to earn money online. He said people keep coming up with new services that can help bloggers make money.

A recent study by the Society for New Communications Research suggested that in the next five years, conversational marketing will attract as many ad bucks as traditional channels.

Chow’s traffic-generating success is not clouded by product sales, avant-garde content or attractive page design. He was not even selling “himself” like some personal expertise financial blogs. His blog content is a combination of his money count and what he had for lunch - blogging “about nothing”.

With the free blog platform WordPress and an accounting degree, Chow has monetized “nothing” into a No. 39 ranking on Technorati’s Top 100 List of most-linked blogs. His reported overhead is about $550 a month and the remaining of that monthly $25,000 goes to the bottom line.

Chow’s other success was with his reviews-oriented blog site, TheTechZone. Chow used what he has learned at John Chow dot Com to help him monetize The TechZone and his new TZZ Media advertising network. Altogether, Chow’s revenue income came close to a $1 million annually, making him a web marketing expert by any sort of measure.
