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.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Since I’m the first, I should get the cash.
this cat might have had the first reply, but who is it?
Pick me!! I want the cash!!
First comment, hopefully that brings me enough luck to let me win
I would like to enter to win the $27
I would like $27!
In for this!
That money would change my life.
Sounds pretty nice.
Hook me up with some cash John!
Very cool John… those cashinator machines are a ton of fun. Props to Market Leverage for another great idea!
I agree, good marketing ploy. Cheap investment for them, they got two $500 JohnChow.com reviews for under $50.
Sounds excellent
You are awesome!!
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!
Count me in!
I’m up for winning the $27!
Beer money!
I’m in Chow-da-head.
i want that money..
An easy way to make money if you have the quick hands!! We know John has quick wit, does he have the quick hands!!!
Count me in too… I wish I’m there to join the cashinator!
Okay, count me in
I’ve written a simple post about this contest! I’m in in in!!!

Burn that money!
Free money? Sure, I’ll give it a shot!
I’m in.
Hi John!
By the way, thanks for placing the Entrecard ad on my blog the other day. I’m also blogging about this at my blog tonight with a link back to your post!
Thanks for the opportunity to cash in on your winnings!
oh it looks nice… does this one make me included?
Why not? Easy money, hopefully.
I am in. Thanks.
Does http://www.haarg.com will join with Market Leverage?
I like money very much
count me in!
Heh. I can’t believe I’m entering for that amount, but hey, it’s all good.
that looks like a lot of fun
Gimme gimme John!
I’m in!
If I win this money I can finally afford the down payment on the house I’ve always wanted!
I could always use some help paying for the servers I host all my free websites on.
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….
Hey Hey, I will take some money!
nice little game show. Wish i could have caught yah at the event to say hi. But you were to busy making money
$27 is better than nothing, so if all it takes is a comment on this post, well…hey…count me in!
N way it’s going to be me…………..
Hey I’ll take it!
27 bucks for replying for making a comment? Of course I’m in!
Seems like an easy enough contest to enter. I’m in!

Let me win the cash, then I’ll re-invest it into my First Anniversary Blog contest to reward my readers.

Wow. $27 could change my life.. (Ok, maybe not, but at least it’d pay for a few drinks at the bar)
i’m in – bring back the crystal maze – that show rocked!
Ha, I just mentioned that in his entry that first showed The Cashinator!
Count me in. Pretend you’re a money-grubbing politician as you grab that cash.
Count me in. This is my first time to get invovled such event.
Well too bad you didn’t grab better but I would be happy with the $27 you did grab!
hey I blogged about this giveaway here:
John Chow Giving Away Cash
So have you gave it any thought to riding the bull?
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
LOL, That looks like alot of fun! and to give that money to your readers, well that’s just sweet!
Haha, that’s awesome John. Thanks for giving us the chance to win it!
Haha, nice video and cash grabs. I like how “Money Reigns” at the end when the blower stops.
Wait! I like cash!
Wait. That’s only $27. Isn’t that the equivalent of half a gallon of gas nowadays?
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.
Pick me!!
Money, Money, Money.
John, you look very relaxed around all of that cash! Please enter my name for the drawing. I am posting about your contest at http://www.dontoreadthisblog.blogspot.com Respectfully, Nicholas
I would like to win the cash please
Give me the money!
Very smart way to make your readers to stay longer at your site by watching video to find out how much money they can win.
I already can smell the prize
free money, count me in!
Nice job John! Learning from your other posts, if I were to win I’d probly pay it forward like the way you received $10,000 for the earlier blog post about facebook.
Count me in, John. And check out my coverage of your drawing in my blog, Skylarking. You’ve got a trackback. Good luck everybody.
John, I just read the article about you in the Entrepreneur magazine and then read your ebook and now this!! You ROCK!! And, yes, I have used that code, “JohnChowRocks”. I wish I would have known all of this sooner….but I am rolling with it now.
count me in!

Great idea for a contest!
$27 will pay me 6 months of hosting. If a comment is all that it takes, count me in. Will blog about it later on.
