I set out for a recovery run on the Katy Trail on a warm afternoon in Dallas. The run became a jog which settled to a leisurely stroll. I wandered off the Katy Trail and down along Turtle Creek. The tension of a corporate lifestyle settled to the peace of feeling home among the turtles, ducks and swans. I wandered on with a revived sense of hope for my future, for one of settled rightness and freedom from the rat race we all know and love. I wandered on without thought of money or possessions or retirement or freedom. I was free until I came upon the dream, sitting squarely on the bank of Turtle Creek.
3828 Turtle Creek Dr is a 6650 square foot single family home with 4 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms and backs onto Turtle Creek. They have a pool, gazebo, courtyard and land to spare. What a dream to wake to my laptop and cereal under that roof. What a dream to take my runs each morning to Turtle Creek and the Katy Trail. What a dream to return to more cereal, perhaps a skinny dip in the pool with Paris Hilton and friends while a live pianist plays Richard Halley’s 5th Concerto and Alfred delivers the morning tea. This can all be yours for $3,000,000 or about $20,000 per month. If John Chow can do it with his blog, why can’t I?
John Chow is not a blogger, he’s an internet marketer with a blog. In 2006 he decided to monetize his blog and treat it as seriously as a business. His first month income and rate of improvement are both remarkable.
John Chow’s Blog Income:
2006 Sept: $352.94/mo
2007 Jan: $3440.66/mo
2007: $180,000/yr
2008: $360,000/yr
2009: $500,000/yr
In less than 5 years, John Chow turned his personal blog into a monstrous engine of nearly passive income. His goal: full time income with part time blogging: $3000 per month for 2 hours per day. He hit his mark in less than 6 months. Color me flabbergasted and a bit confused. I’ve been excited to make a couple dollars in a day. How in the world did he do it?
