Entrepreneur magazine has an interesting article on John Chow who has a blog on making money with a blog, whatever he’s doing must be working as he makes $25,000 a month!

Chow has also assembled his income-earning techniques into a 59-page web book downloadable at johnchow.com. Make Money Online is free, but it still makes money for Chow, thanks to its active web links that drive traffic to his site. It’s not a bad read, either; even if you don’t make blogging your career, there’s plenty there to help monetize your business blog.

I downloaded the booklet and it’s a mix of useful links and Tony Robbinsesque passages like the following.

Everyone has dreams and goals. The only difference between a goal and a dream is a goal is a
dream with action. We all have dreams; becoming financially independent, having a family,
helping charities, etc. However, how many of you have made a goal to achieve your dreams? If
you have, did you place a time limit on it, or did you just say “I’ll do it someday” or “I hope it
will happen”.

That reminds me of when I used to go every second weekend to stay at my Dad’s place in Richmond, BC (home of John Chow) and my Step-Mother would have my brother and I write down our long and short term goals, which is noteworthy only in the fact that we were three and six years old at the time.

Anyways I just implemented John’s tip about being more personal, in future posts I’ll delve into my brief addiction to Children’s Tylenol and why I have to sit down to pee.

I want my two dollars.
