Affiliate Summit East – Market Leverage Yacht Party

written by John Chow on August 10, 2009

How to make $593 in less than one hour

Last night, Market Leverage held their long awaited yacht party aboard the Valiant. This was the most sought after ticket of the entire Affiliate Summit East conference as everyone and their dog were trying to get on the A-List. Guests met at the New York Hilton lobby and were transported to the yacht via a huge 28 passenger Cadillac Escalade Limo. Dinner was prepared by Top Chef finalist Casey Thompson.

The party go off to a slow start because the limo took us to the wrong pier and the chef showed up on the boat late. However, once everything was sorted out, everyone had a great time. The food of Chef Thompson was really tasty and the bartender made a really good brown cow.

All party guests received an “I’m on a yacht party” Market Leverage T-shirt. In addition, Market Leverage had three Apple iPod up for grabs in a draw. Neil Patel and I crafted up a way to win all of them. I’m sure Dina will want those iPods back after she see this video.

The shirts should have said “I’m on a motherfuckin’ boat!”

Cool video. Looks like even though the contest was a total bust the party was still a huge success.

sneaky scam – you still have the Ipods? or did Dina ask for them back?

I’ve sent my associates to request the return of all contest swag. I KNEW they were rigging the contest, just wasn’t sure how… :P

Nice job on the video John. That was fast. And like I said on the video, the contest was rigged. You guys had to have swapped fish bowls. :-)

Superb video. Much better than the crappy stuff I took with my cell phone. For me this even was the highlight of the summit, tons of fun, cool people, starring with John Chow on a video – doesn’t get better :D

If I was in there I would have opened up the bottom of my shirt and just let every bill flow up inside the shirt. maybe next time …

Hey John!

It was great to finally meet and chat with you in person! The Market Leverage yacht party was fun, the food was great and the views were amazing.

Deb says she needs to get one of those bunny rabbit skinned microphone covers that you have.

I hope to see you at the next conference!
