DailyBlogTips interviews Timothy Sykes, $50k/month blogger

Earlier this month, Daily Blog Tips interviewed Timothy Sykes, who is making more than $50,000 monthly with his blog:

You claim to have earned $45,000 from your blog last month, and that your traffic is 3 times smaller than John Chow’s one. How is that possible?

My business model is different, he’s all ad and affiliate-based, while my focus is on creating educational products through my own publishing company, BullShip Prress, LLC, namely my PennyStocking Instructional DVD that makes penny stock trading understandable and TIMalerts, a real-time trading alerts subscription service, both of which I promote endlessly through my blog.

Mind you, I tried Chow’s business model—admittedly only half-heartedly because I have problems promoting all the frauds in finance–but it didn’t work for me…so I adapted.

It’s an interesting interview to read primarily because of the discussion around the question above. Timothy’s income is less about advertising and affiliate income and more about using his blog as a method to promote his product lines – and then pocketing the much higher profits when those products are sold.

    Very interesting read, thank you for highlighting this article. It definitely opens up what bloggers can do with their blog instead of following the “john chow” train.

    Timothy Sykes is a hypocrite.

    After I discovered severe corruption at Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, I wrote a fully documented message detailing the allegations, which I posted on Timothy Syke’s website.

    In a very short time, my message was deleted. When I contacted Sykes, his excuses ran the gamut from “the file size was too large” to “the message doesn’t fit the theme of our website” to “you don’t write good enough”.

    Timothy Sykes is not a prophet who exposes “manipulative forces at work in companies, the media, ANALysts, etc.” as he proclaims. Timothy Sykes is a liar who probably works *for* the manipulative forces as a facade of opposition.

    If you would like to receive a copy of my message about corruption at Eurostat that includes graphics, please contact me.

    In addition, please allow me to warn you about Jeremy’s comment…

    The website http://www.timothysykesexposed.com is NOT opposed to Timothy Sykes. It is just another (strange) way that Sykes markets his products. More proof that Timothy Sykes is a very deceitful person.

    My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be precisely what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome website!

    I have observed that sensible real estate agents all around you are getting set to FSBO Promotion. They are seeing that it’s more than simply placing a sign in the front property. It’s really concerning building connections with these suppliers who one of these days will become customers. So, after you give your time and energy to helping these retailers go it alone – the “Law connected with Reciprocity” kicks in. Interesting blog post.
