Funny comment coming from someone named Moneygod ;P Actually the fact he talks so much about all the money he is making is why he is so popular. Some want to see just how much one can make, others want to find out the latest evil genius idea, and nearly all hope a little bit of the magic will rub off on them.

I think we can all agree that the main reason people read John Chow's blog, or any SEO, Marketing or otherwise business oriented blog is to learn their "secrets".

I am not sure age is a requirement for entrance into the John Chow cult. I don't belong so I can't say for certainty but I think it has something to do with guinea pigs and lifesavers. ;)

Interesting philosophy :)

I don't put him up high at all, I know like all bloggers he is only as good as the people who read, comment, and contribute to his blog. Without the thousands of visitors he would be nothing, as would the rest of us.

John Chow did create his status. He thought up ways to spin old ideas and make them ingenious. He marketed himself to appeal to the largest crowd possible. He is outspoken about his success because that is what drives traffic to his site. He created everything about himself.

I believe this was addressed before but I never said I hate his success, I am envious certainly to a point, but hate is not a word I would use. I would gladly spend as much time talking to John Chow as he could spare simply because he is often very willing to share his outlook and ideas. I know there is a lot to learn from him and so does everyone else. His methods might not be the ones I would choose, but then again that is probably why his blog was the inspiration for JC and not my own. :)

Anyway, I better end this comment before I respond to your last statement in a way not befitting the lightheartedness of this blog. Thanks for visiting and please come back.

Guest posts are awesome aren't they? Ok so I am biased because I am a guest poster but hey the sentiment is there. Actually I wonder how many posts you have to do as a GP before you are no longer a guest but actually work for the blog?

Umm actually no, JC is doing a great job of making his own way in the world. Just check out some of the latest posts and you will see while that other guy might look like us, he can't match the bovine inspiration of JC.

I think you put him up higher than he puts himself.

True, the loss of thousands of dollars of months would suck for most anyone, but that wasn't my point. I only mean to say he isn't clinging on to his blog for dear life.

John Chow didn't magically create his 'godlike' status, he earned it, one way or another.

He is responsible for introducing many people to blogging and different online business concepts, not to mention the fact that he donates a ton of money to charity.

I see a lot of people hating on his success. I think it's silly to do that when there is so much to learn from it.

This blog would be nothing without John Chow.
It's the same old 'make money online' dream you see everywhere, with no real useful content. Beyond the humour, that is... :wink:

Sure milking process can be changed but not the milk itself

Don't just milk with the same bucket "make money online" target, change the bucket, now he has changed his bucket options.

Ok I am going to assume that you meant "The argument in that post.." to be the post I am referring to not the one I wrote. :) Because I certainly am not jealous, envious yes but not jealous. What John Chow has done is amazing and I wish I were only 1/1000 as lucky / smart / talented / evil / etc. (take your pick).

Anyway Cash Quest your point is well taken. He is making money, his readers love / adore him, and I don't see him stopping any time soon. Nor would I want him to since he is great for us as well :) Thanks for the comment!

Settle down Cash Quests! Chow ain't no God and you don't need to get your panties in a bunch when someone thinks he's milking it too hard.

On a different note I found this site through the big mans most recent post and hats off to the creators. I've been thinking how to cash in on all the Make Money wannabes and you've pulled it off. Great job. You are the new :twisted:

Exactly. Those who say he's milking it too hard are just jealous.

Seriously, what should he do? Stop making money to give himself more credibility? How many bloggers who think he's doing too much milking would STOP MAKING MONEY so that a handful of wannabes respected them a little more.

The money that his blog generates is actually nothing special when you consider how much traffic that he gets. He's not milking it more than most other bloggers it's just that due to the sheer numbers involved on his site, he's making a helluva lot more money out of it.

Sure, he plainly states that he's making money but so what? Everyone knows Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, yet people still buy Microsoft products, don't they?

Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems the argument in that post is that those with an ego shouldn't have supporters. Well here's a secret...nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't have an ego.

How can it even be said that it will hurt his readership when the site keeps growing with every post.

Quick tip: Doing "too much" is helping his readership!! Just check the numbers.

I think John Chow keeps too high profile. He always talks about how much he makes online bla bla bla. that's too much with it.

He is trying to milk the cow too much, however it is that milk which attracts his followers, maybe they just want a big glass of milk to come their way as well.

Good for JC, everyone does the same thing ranging from Paris Hilton to Donald Trump to keep perpetuating whatever sells their image or whatever works to make them even more money.

Great parody site, with actual insightful commentary.
