Affiliate Summit East – Win Cash Money

written by John Chow on August 12, 2008

How to make $593 in less than one hour

That Market Leverage Cashinator that I featured in my first show floor video gave me an idea for a contest post. Why not go back into the Cashinator and try to win some money for a John Chow dot Com reader? Since I’ve been inside the Cashinator already, I figure I can grab a lot more cash than the $17 I made the first time.

We went back to the Market Leverage booth and pitched them the idea. They liked it and let me back in. So, here’s the deal. Reply to this post and you could win all the cash that I grabbed while inside the Cashinator. You only need to reply once. Replying multiple times will not give you more entries. However, make a blog post about this and send a trackback and I’ll give you five more entries.

The deadline for entry is this Sunday. I’ll draw the winner on Monday. The money will be sent via PayPal. How much money can you win? Watch the video and find out.

Very cool John… those cashinator machines are a ton of fun. Props to Market Leverage for another great idea!

Collin LaHay August 13, 2008 at 2:27 am

I agree, good marketing ploy. Cheap investment for them, they got two $500 JohnChow.com reviews for under $50. :D

Rockstar Sid August 12, 2008 at 10:02 pm

Sounds excellent :twisted: You are awesome!! :mrgreen:

Nate Cleveland August 12, 2008 at 10:18 pm

The Cashinator was a lot of fun when I went in it as well, but I think it’s almost as much fun watching other people do it too. I’d love to take those $27 off your hands!

Gdog August 12, 2008 at 10:22 pm

Count me in! :mrgreen:

I could always use some help paying for the servers I host all my free websites on. :neutral:

Henrik Blunck - Denmark August 13, 2008 at 5:12 am

It’s all fine ways to generate traffic but, John, I would love if you would revert to generating CONTENT rather than just increasing your traffic. You may get more new readers than you loose, but imho your focus should be on quality of content rather than expanding traffic.

If you’re in this for the long term…. :-)

danandmarsh August 13, 2008 at 10:08 am

:lol: Oh I bet that was so fun!! I have always wanted a chance to go in one of those machines, like I have always wanted to ride a mechanical bull! Hey there’s a contest idea :idea: “how long can you ride” :?: There ya go John!
Well too bad you didn’t grab better but I would be happy with the $27 you did grab!

danandmarsh August 14, 2008 at 4:12 pm

hey I blogged about this giveaway here:
John Chow Giving Away Cash :razz:
So have you gave it any thought to riding the bull? :wink:

Giles August 13, 2008 at 10:16 am

Hmm how will you send it? Also if the winner is based abroad like me (China) then it’ll cost you a bit to send by post ;)

Brad August 13, 2008 at 10:25 am

LOL, That looks like alot of fun! and to give that money to your readers, well that’s just sweet! :)

Tom August 13, 2008 at 10:26 am

Haha, that’s awesome John. Thanks for giving us the chance to win it!

Zac Johnson August 13, 2008 at 10:42 am

Haha, nice video and cash grabs. I like how “Money Reigns” at the end when the blower stops.

Geiger August 13, 2008 at 11:08 am

Wait! I like cash!

Geiger August 13, 2008 at 11:12 am

Wait. That’s only $27. Isn’t that the equivalent of half a gallon of gas nowadays?

Geiger August 13, 2008 at 11:13 am

Furthermore, how come there are so many comments? People are all excited about the Cashinator. It was WELL worth Market Leverage’s $27 for that post.

Jerry August 13, 2008 at 11:17 am
