[...] look at John Chow’s Blog. A few months ago Ben Cook wrote quite a scathing but honest account of John ‘reaching his peak’. The article basically said how now that John was rich he [...]

Well, I don’t know whether John heard us or started spending more time on the blog lately or what but I’ve been enjoying the posts a lot more recently. His “From Nobody to Somebody” project is going to be a great read when it’s done and is very similar to what I’m trying to do here it sounds like.

Maybe he’s heard us? His last two posts have been about his monthly income and his top earners (both posts that interest me)! Let’s hope this trend continues.

[...] from BloggingExperiment actually sparked my interest in John being so off-topic, and I agree with him completely. In his quick scan, only about 5 of the last 40 posts have been [...]

Egon, that’s exactly what I mean. The tax posts wouldn’t be too bad if they were a once in a while thing but my goodness, he’s not posted anything even remotely related to online marketing or making money online in a long time. He replied to one of my comments saying that he’d get back in the swing of things soon and I hope he does. I’m just not holding my breath on it.

Although I initially disagreed with you a little bit on John’s post about avoiding income tax, you’re right. I’m tired of hearing about how many Agloco subscribers he has, and he seems to brag every time he hits another 1,000 sign-ups or every 100 RSS readers. We really don’t care.

I understand the occasional (10,000 sign-ups) or whatever, but he’s supposed to be telling us *how* to get that same success, not just telling us that he has it.

Yeah, it hasn’t gotten much better, although yesterday (or was it today?) there was a post about AzoogleAds. It was an affiliate offer but I don’t have a problem with those and it was at least about making money online.

It’s sad that those are now the exceptions rather than the rule.

Webd,
That’s actually what prompted me to create this site. So many people reading John’s blog view him as some sort of internet god. However, if I can pull off this whole blogging thing, anyone can. I guess we’ll see one way or the other in another 351 days but I promise you one thing, succeed or fail, I’ll always involve my readers and treat you as an equal.

Well he did it again, with his latest post being about a restaurant (which is what the post before it was about too)!

One thing I am also noticing is that with his blog idolizes him more, while other bloggers like problogger include his readers and treat them more as equals (there was actually a post about this somewhere, which really made this idea apparent in me too).

John is still a smart guy and he has lots to offer, lets just hope he starts to give us what we want.
