Blogging My Life...
John Chow wrote that he was written up in the Vancouver Sun, which has a reader base of 500,000 people, because of his blogging. He posted a picture of the article and after reading it, I was amazed.
A paper spent the time to write up a blogger who pulls in $3,500 per month? That is about $40,000 per year!
I know many bloggers that bring in way more than that from just their blogs, so why choose him?
In any event, the article is interesting, in that he discloses the actual figures he makes from Google (is that allowed), Text Link Ads, and other networks.
Big kudos for him for getting into the press, I am just surprised by the premise.
Shawn Hogan was also written up in the New York Times but that was more focused on Google AdSense's new program (article here).

I've been reading John Chow every day for about a year now. He posts an idea, does it, tells us what it cost and then tells everyone what the result was.
Sometimes he'll do something and post about an idea several times from the plan to the result. Sometimes these things will make him as little as $50 total for the month and then he'll write about it like it was a huge success.
Every dollar and new subscriber coming in to his blog is a goal worth celebrating. This approach seems to be working. Every little bit adds up over time. (IMO) $40K is a lot of money for two hours worth of work a day. I believe he'll be up to 50K in no time.
