Welcome John Chow readers!
Hey, it’s good to see you here! I’m Matt, 23 from just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland. I’ve been blogging on and off for a couple of years, starting again seriously within the last 3 months.
I created Take More Risks to log how I was earning money off the Internet. Now I’m trying to cover broader issues whilst still giving everyone an idea of how I’m getting on!
I’m currently earning around $4-5k a year and I’m hoping to establish some proper goals which will help me progress well past that figure.
Here a few of my more interesting posts.

John wrote a great review on your site. Made me want to come over and see for myself what he was talking about. Hope you attain your goals!

Another Matt, nice pick on getting John to review your site, welcome the traffic.
Please post your traffic and revenue increases from getting reviewed
I would love to see the difference.

Yeah the review was excellent, I’m pleased.
I’ll be sure to post any fluctuations in traffic.

Smart move in letting John review your site Matt, it looks like your website contains a lot of interesting info, I’ll keep it in my favorites for sure!

Yeah, it would be very interesting to get a stats report from the review – how much traffic did you get, how many new subscribers, etc. – and whether you would recommend it to other bloggers.

I came here because the post you wrote on the “art” of domain buying/selling stood out from John’s review. After reading that, and a whole bunch of other posts, I think I’ll become a regular here

And thanks again for all your comments!
