Inspiration Monday - John Chow (Part 2)
Last week I wrote about how John Chow inspired my blogging and Internet life. Originally for this week, I wanted to have a post on how other bloggers think of John Chow and how they see him inspirational. I emailed some well known and some fairly new bloggers to gather some information on how they think of John. Unfortunately, only a handful of them have responded. Most of them who responded had not given useful content for my post. Ken from KenSavage.com had replied this “Can I focus on … the fact that he doesn’t really teach anything?” I mean… Sure! However, I disagreed on his comment. Because it is tax season here in Canada, John Chow had posted a series on running a blog as a corporation and its tax advantages. In his posts you can easily find knowledge and I think he does teach you something (except when he talks about fine dining and cars).
I think because I am just a tiny anonymous blogger in the blogospher, most bloggers out there won’t take me seriously. However, I totally give my respect to Tyler Cruz from TylerCruz.com. I know he is a pretty well-known and uprising blogger. He is the only person replied my email with information I was looking for. He actually took the time to modify one of his earlier interviews to suit my needs. Now I am why his name is way brighter than others. If you want other bloggers to give you respect, you first have to respect them, no matter how small they are. This is what Tyler wrote in his response:
Hi Ronald,
You can take an answer I wrote in an interview for: http://www.winningtheweb.com/tyler-cruz-interview.php. I modified it slightly to work for your post.
John Chow deserves the recognition he receives. I saw him build his blog up from when it was fairly new to what it is today, and he’s now making over $30,000 a month from it.John is just a very smart guy and understands how to make a buck. He’s not just a successful blogger; he ran, and still runs, TheTechZone.com which is a very successful technology review site, and employs a number of people. And he’s had his hand in countless online projects and endeavors that most JC fans don’t even know about.And his knowledge with money doesn’t just apply to the Internet; he’s very good with finances, investing, and real estate. John is now a superstar of blogging, has been on TV several times, on the front cover of major newspapers, and best of all has fun doing it. This is why John inspires me.
Cheers,
Tyler Cruz
Thank you Tyler for treating me as a fellow blogger and took the time to reply my email. I know it isn’t something special to you, but it is quite special to me.
