I have decided to interview people from all of my favorite blogs. The first is the infamous JohnCow.com. I love his blog, and it has been very successful in its short 4 month life.

JohnCow.com is one of my favorite blogs to read, what inspired you to
start it and what got you into blogging?
JohnCow was really started as a prank towards John Chow. Poking a bit of fun at him, but soon the popularity of the blog skyrocketed and we decided to try and make it work. Sofar so good.

It is obvious that the name is similar to JohnChow.com, to your
knowledge does Mr. Chow like the idea?
Yes, John’s initial response was that he thought it was hilarious. We consider him a friend now, talk a lot on instant messenger and such, great guy really!

Do you attend any popular blogging conferences? If so what is your
favorite and why?
No, unfortunately most of these things are based in the US, we live in Ireland. Perhaps next year’s Blog World Expo…

Are you currently involved in any other “making money online” ventures
such as affiliate marketing?
Yes and no, I’ve got a lot of ideas and concepts, but these all result in half assed projects because I lose interest too soon and tend to jump onto the next idea.

What aspects of internet marketing are you into?
I’m still learning and reading up about PPC, affiliate marketing and the likes. Before I jump in, I want to make sure I have mastered at least the basics of the trade.

JohnCow.com is growing at a very fast rate and is only 4 months old,
what is the best month profit wise JohnCow.com has seen?
Best month so far was around $3,400 money wise, but the amount of fun I’m having and the new people I meet, that’s priceless.

Have you set any goals for JohnCow.com and where you want it to be in a year?
No, I have not set any goals, I like to see where all this is going to take me without any planning. If I would set myself goals and for some reason not accomplish them, I’d only be disappointed. As long as I’m having fun, I’ll keep at it.

Being a successful blogger yourself, why do you think many blogs fail
within the first 6 months?
Most blogs don’t ‘fail’, they just stop publishing. You need to hang in there and take the good days with the bad. If you quit within 6 months, perhaps that’s all the blogging you felt like you wanted to do. There’s more to life than blogging they say!

Do you have any favorite blogs you read on a daily basis?
Yes, currently in my feedreader I keep track of about 40 blogs. Just to name a few of them,johnchow, shoemoney,everybodygoto.com msdanielle, paulstamatiou.com and myself!

If you could say one thing to an aspiring blogger who wants to be like
you, what tip would you give?
Eat more chicken and make sure you drink enough milk!

Thanks so much to JohnCow.com for letting us know more about them. If you have not read the blog yet, you need to! Everyone def. visit JohnCow.com!
