Digg it UP - 5 Lessons I Have Learned From John Chow
$350 million in bad checks are written each and every week. That fact alone makes bad checks a serious problem for American businesses. It is almost inevitable that, if your business accepts checks, you have been affected by this. As well as being stuck with bank fees for depositing a bad check - and the very real possibility that the bad check could impact your bottom line - there is the time, aggravation and cost associated with recovering the
Every little bit counts in every part of your life. And those little bits soon add up to vast improvements.
4. Mix it up, lighten up and have some fun – One of the big factors that always keeps me coming back to John?s blog is that he writes well and, pehaps even more importantly, keeps a light mood in all his posts. I like how he manages to share a bit about his dining out–experiences and o
In any major field of study, graduates usually have several career options to pursue. For examples, teachers may decide on educating elementary, middle school, high school, or college students; Law enforcers are patrol officers, prison guards, parole officers, or detectives. Likewise, Chef’s also have choices to make throughout his/her career. After experience in other venues of the culinary arts, a professional cook may have decided to become h
Well, as far I know he?s a pretty successful entrepreneur and dot com mogul from Vancouver, Canada.
Apparently he rose to fame with The TechZone. But I?ve never visited that website, so…
I am however a fan of his blog JohnChow.com.
In fact it’s the only semi-personal blogs that I read regularly. Mostly, I just read different niche-blogs on personal growth and blogging.
John?s blog is basically about the internet and blogging – often with thoughts on the business side of things - mixed up with odd ramblings about, and pictures of, things he eats.
While reading John?s blog for a couple of months I?ve learned a thing or two. Here are five of those lessons. Some are new, some are good reminders. Most are principles that apply not just to blogging but to many areas of life.
1. Be consistent – I?m, more and more, becoming a firm believer that one of the biggest keys to success is being consistent. John posts very regularly and with great frequency. The blog features a couple of semi-short posts almost every day of the week.
Being that consistent is probably one of the largest factors to his blog growing so fast. Every time you visit there is always something new and - 7 times out of 10 something - interesting to read.
2. Be proactive – John?s networking skills seems to be a lot more energetic and creative than that of your average blogger. He quickly expanded his MyBlogLog community by holding a competition for everyone that joined. Today that community has 714 members.
He has also expanded his part of the pay-for-browsing network Agloco to an impressive 6000 members by networking and blogging about it. And he created the clever Adsense-ads that said stuff like “I love Steve Pavlina “ or “I love Darren Rowse” and placed those ads on their blogs.
Almost every week John reminds an amateur blogger like myself about the importance of being proactive to be successful.
3. Keep optimizing – John often writes about new plugins for blogger-software Wordpress or about other new opportunities for bloggers. But he doesn?t just blog about it but actually tests things out and, after a while, reports back. He seems to constantly be experimenting to optimize his blog and business.
Every little bit counts in every part of your life. And those little bits soon add up to vast improvements.

1) RESEARCH THE EMPLOYER The first part of any interview process is research. The idea is to learn as much as possible about the organization, its philosophies, goals and future plans. You are showing them that you took the time to research their company, you are showing them how you go that extra mile.2. REREAD/REDO RESUME Make sure you’re familiar with contents. It will be the employers basis of asking questions. Know your

Traveling nurses are part pf a booming industry. With the rise in shortage of nurses in the United States and Canada, sending nurses to places in need or hospitals that lack the manpower is in demand. The slowing economy in North American has somehow helped the popularity of this industry.This industry has mutual benefits for both hospitals and nurses. As a nurse, you may want to find companies that can give you medical allowances and othe

If we don't change our direction we are likely to end up where we're headed.In today's "Nanosecond" culture, successful organizations are doing what was once considered impossible. They are increasing customer satisfaction, shortening process cycles and response times, reducing costs, and developing innovative new products and services -- all at the same time.Not long ago, organizations could succeed by excelling at one or two of th

4. Mix it up, lighten up and have some fun – One of the big factors that always keeps me coming back to John?s blog is that he writes well and, pehaps even more importantly, keeps a light mood in all his posts. I like how he manages to share a bit about his dining out–experiences and other personal stuff once in a while and not make it dull or that incongruent with the rest of the posts.
For some reason it seems like his mouth-watering pictures and restaurant-reviews fit right in with rest of the site. And that mix plus the consistency in tone and mood makes the reading a whole lot more fun.
5. Give. Sooner or later you shall receive – In a few short months John has gone from making zero bucks on his blog to making a couple of thousand dollars a month. Not bad. And even though he?s the “self-proclaimed root of all evil” John seems to be a pretty good guy.
He donates all his blog-earnings to his church and other charities. I think John?s sharing and giving attitude certainly is a big factor in his quick blogging success (and probably earlier successes too).
What goes around always seems to come around. Sooner or later.
