Japanese Media
A quick summary of the media that I have been appearing in of late.
Was in yesterdays Nikkei Sangyo Newspaper talking about this site and how the contents, community and technology involved have lead to a modest income through affiliate services like Amazon Associates and Google Adsense etc. I didnt go into detail regarding exactly how much I make but decided to be open about the most I made in a single day last December (about 100,000 yen). I also mentioned that my income from online activities has made enough for me to pay for our house, bills, food and figures ^^;
Some companies approach me offering cash to review their services or products for them. I talk about how I dont do that because by accepting money, I would be obliged to write something good even though I thought the product or service sucks - to me this would be lying to my readers. I do continue to accept free figure samples but dont guarantee a good review ^^; latest free samples are Haruka and Fauna (pictured here) ^o^
There are many services cropping up in Japan who pay bloggers to write stuff. For example, Sony would have a "the first 500 people to write a review for this product gets 300 yen" type thing. Through these "pay to blog" services, many are starting to wonder about the legitimacy of info in blogs. In Japan, people have always had a tendency to rely on the information in blogs as it was a "human" writing their views as opposed to a corporate company flogging their goods.
The scanned article. The picture makes me look even more ugly than I usually look so Mirai-chan is to my rescue^^; The gallery scan of this image is 800PX so if you read Japanese you may want to read while you have your morning dump.
The article also picks up on how corporate managed portal sites have difficulty in gaining the the sort of traffic that this site gets. dannychoo.com recently outgrew Dengeki-online and GA Graphic.
Was also in Weekly Ascii in March.
Was invited to the launch party of the dot asia domain and as usual had nothing to wear so ended up going in armor ^^;
Was in Windows 100% again.
This time round was just a ranking of all the Kaigai Otaku that the magazine ran for 5 years. They voted me number one ^^;;;
The previous article can be seen here.
Was also interviewed recently by Ascii online (Interview here).
This time I talk about how dannychoo.com developed from being a site which I used to practice my PHP and upload family photos to being an Otaku portal.
I also talk about my blog strategy and some of the features of Nav2.0. I also mention officially of my plans to license Nav2.0 in the future.
Here are a few tips for those who are interested in starting a blog and making money.
- Use a customizable platform like WordPress. I hear there are a ton of plugins and is most configurable.
- Write about stuff that you are passionate about. Being passionate about a something means that you will do that something well. The same goes for life - working in a field that you are passionate about enables you to reach your destination quicker. So the formula is "passion + focus = arrive at destination quicker".
- Automate your work flow. Find tools that will help you prepare the content so that you dont have to. You should be concentrating on thinking of and writing the content - not preparing it. Look for tools that batch rotate, resize, watermark and upload your images etc.
- Read my affiliate story and the blog monetization article to get you going.
- Work with other site owners to share traffic. The Featured Feeds EX program is perfect help grow your site from zero visitors.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Nope! would not write an article on some product I did not like for the exact same reasons you do. When I created my blog I didn't intend it to be a hit at all: instead I am getting about 300 hits a day after a year or two of dedicated blogging. I won't recommend something unless I like it.

I have read of the pay-cash-to-review services but had the same though as you. We would have to lie about their product if it sucks.
Seems like you've appeared in a lot of newspapers ^^ Good job Danny!

I once was a member of a three to four (depending on who we liked at the time) member team of computer hardware reviewers for a site called 2fastcpu that is now long since dead. We too had the same issues with companies expecting glowing reviews. In fact, it's such a problem in the tech area that even free stuff is often expected to get glowing reviews when we specifically take the stance that we are going to provide a truthful and non-biased opinion on the product.
In the end, a lot of companies just expect bloggers to be tools for advertisement. They're forgetting what the spirit of blogging: free and personal opinion.

Congratulations Danny. I've been reading and lurking since you got your less-than-stellar storm trooper outfit before you modded it. And good to know now you've probably became an icon not just to Japanese otaku but to the gaijin otaku as well. ;)
Keep up the good work. And nice to know you're not selling your soul to the corporate types too. ;)

You are a good exemple of what i think about the whole blogospere craps:
- You got some arrogants folks who are just spending their time to blog about how to attract visitors, playing the SEO teacher, and got just 1000 visitors/day. Most of them don' t even know how to write a correct line of php
- and you got others folks who do attract hundred of thousand visitors without playing the teachers, by just blogging about what they like.
Gongratulations Danny, but i do note that you know fews php trics ^o^

Congrats danny. You seem to be getting more and more popular everyday. heheh!
I agree with you that it just isn't right to blog about a product and getting paid for it for writing good stuff about it even if you think otherwise. Donations on the otherhand are very much welcome. hahah! ^^
I'm still amazed though that you're making so much from your blog. Must be worth a lot. heheh!

Never would I write a review for money. My personal integrity is too important. I have always believed strongly that people who have the most traffic are those who people feel are honest and general all around decent individuals.
I very happy to see you getting so much positive recognition, congratulations Danny. Your site is very much Otaku, but you get such a broad spectrum of readers and attention outside the Otaku community. I think that is really great and want that for my own blog.
So true, always do something you are passionate about. In the end it is the only thing that keeps one involved with it from day to day and when times get stressful. It pays off for us Otaku to be so dedicated, many of us translate it into our work.
I want very much to have an Anime Otaku blog, but think right now is the wrong time. Who want to read another American Otaku blog, so many are doing a great job at it already. I will start out with photography and include more Gundam and such when I move to Japan. For now, I'm studying up on WordPress until I can start coding my own site. I write post for two private blogs and try to comment a lot to other blogs, need to improve my writing skills.
Sorry, I get so pumped when I start planning and work on a goal. I tend to run on too long... ^^;

Congratulations Danny, you truly deserve it.
You're the most famous Stormtrooper and Vader otaku around! How does it feel? *laughs*
About the poll, I simply couldn't promote something I would find awful. It would be like lying to myself, and I hate that.
Yes, I think you do well in reviewing items like they really should be. If there is a failure in goods, better not sell it to the public before testing!
Keep going on, we shall follow you in your adventures without fail...
...And again, kudos to you!!

Dear Danny,
With the hard work in maintaining the site, you deserve the credit.
Thanks to figure sites like yours, my credit card bill hits over 85,000 yen this month again (most of it going to HobbySearch). Some online retailers pay a small commission to sites that refer shoppers to them. I know Play-Asia has their Affiliate Program and Amazon Japan have something similar as well. I wouldn't mind supporting Dannychoo.com through such programs.
