In The Vancouver Sun – Making Money on Twitter | John Chow dot Com


Seems I sure know how to pick um! Now John Chow is featured on the cover of BBC Vancouver newpaper!
He is singing the praises of Tweeting! It all sounds so easy, and if your JOHN CHOW, I suppose it is. He also is a computer whiz, a professional Blogger and now, money making Tweeter. I suppose once you really get in the swing of things, it sort of self generates its own momentum. John Chow also build computers, knows the complete in's and out's of sponsored ads, networking, and seems to had the edge on most social media.
When Yaro came out with his latest offer of paid memberships, John was one of the first to jump on the bandwagon and joint venture with Yaro, by creating his own offer. Almost, not to be outdone it seems! But, hey, if John has the foresight to do this, and its ethical in the internet world, why not. I just chalk it up to creative marketing. A bit like piggybacking someone elses idea, however it is disquised with clever sales tactics. I dont mention this to undermine John Chow. I actually do respect him as far as business on the internet goes. He also seems to be a very caring dad. So, all in all more power to him, and Congratulations John Chow!
Keep making us envious, oops, I mean proud!

Bye Bye John Chow, (as far as the experiment goes!)

With September behind me, a deadline has been reached.  I researched and experimented with my 'On line idea for about 1 month.  I learned a lot, and learned that I have a lot more to learn.
As for the goal I set...I did reach it!  I did earn at least $1.oo on line...through Google Ad sense.  That brought about a weird sense of excitement that anything is possible.. (and I had not thought it really possible!)
Also, I did what John Chow recommends.   Take ACTION!  I did that also!
I have a domain name..( a few actually) and I learned a bit about having to host your domain name, and create a website or Blog for the name to be attached to.
Creating a professional website, (not just a freebie one) is a bit of a challenge for me, cause I simply don't read or write computer code.  That is a bit out of my learning curve at the moment.

So to re-cap my little on line adventure...
1) I set a goal.  (30 days of learning from John Chows  e book.)
2) I took action.  Obtained a host and domain name, and a blog....
3) I made more than $1.00 on line. (But, have to accumulate $100.00 before I get paid from Google.)
4) I made peace with the statement that John Chow made, that losers hate failing..so they don't even try!

Thanks to John Chow for encouraging and challenging me with that ONE statement.  It certainly impacted me to think about what was holding me back from my ultimate goal... to someday make a decent living 'on line, by possibly Internet marketing (of some sort) all from my laptop, whilst swinging from my hammock, on the beaches of my husbands home town; Acapulco!

Next goal...learn Spanish, before I go to retire on those beaches.!
Thanks for bearing with me....

Still learning Johns way...

Well, it seems that we have a new layout on here for posting. Looks good from this end!  As you may very well know by now, I am conducting an online experiment about John Chow.com.   He has a website that offers a free down loadable ebook.
Well, I downloaded it, and decided to make a project of following everything he says to do.
One problem.... the advice isn't too specific...you have to do a lot of learning on your own.  I suppose John figures that if you got to his website, then you probably know a bit about what you are doing................
WRONG JOHN!  I know very very little.
But, it is my experiment, and I don't want to give up just yet.

See ya around the blog!

LOGOS... and decisions....

Here is a quicky.... found it at www.vistaprinting.com for a fee, they imprint it on all sorts of stuff...your stationary, your business cards.. that may come later, for now I just need a cyberlogo.
I like this one, it says my name...and my domain name. I would of just used MOSSO.com but that domain is already taken due to it being some sort of cloud hosting? Web server?


I think about this one for a bit....
Later.

Baby steps for Big goals...

Well, I have really accomplished a lot toward my goal. First of all, I didn't just talk about it, I actually took action and did it! I bought two domain names, and have been reading all about John Chow.com and his ideas, suggestions and rules for making money on line.
I have challenged myself to try to earn at least $1.oo...... (not to much to ask for?)

I am documenting on another blog, the effort, time and headache involved in this experiment.
I have NO idea what I am doing, and I am only taking John Chow's word for it, that I can make money on line.

I have been reading his e book, from his website at www.johnchow.com I have found it fairly helpful. However, it seem more geared for amateur webbloggers, not newbies like me....
But, since he is supposedly a successful blogger...I am sticking to analyzing him. It would be too confusing to be jumping around do different Blog Moguls, with each one suggesting their way of doing it...
So, after checking John Chow.com on Alexa and Technocrati for about a month...and in seeing John Chow's blog very consistent in his stats...I am still opting to base my model on him.

Besides, what really won my heart for John's blog, was the video he took of his home in China.
It has been in his family for over four generations...and is still standing.
John Chow must find a sense of comfort and pride in having roots and memorials like that.
If I was John, I would forbid it to ever be torn down...ever.
So, I just wanted to let Banditas Blog in on my latest ventures...and its getting fun to see where this will all go.

Later!
Ps) Soon you can follow me at : http://www.valeriemosso.com

and maybe also at the other site I am setting up: http://www.johnchowblog.com
See you here or there!
God Bless!
