Yesterday, Shoemoney issued a challenge to me on his blog.
Dear John Chow,
I challenge you to a battle at the Marketleverage cashinator in Las Vegas.
Here is my challenge. We both take turns in the cashinator and get as much money as we can. The person who gets the least money has to forfeit their earnings to the winner plus $100 of their own money to the winner to give away on the winners blog!
The challenge would take place at next week’s Blog World Expo where both Shoe and myself are scheduled to appear together at the make money from a blog super panel. This is my official 12 second answer to Shoemoney’s challenge.

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...

Ha ha ha ha, a rejection … wow … wasn’t expecting that … but I guess thats what keeps you guys on top!
Darin
Are you going to be at Blog World? I’ll be more than happy to beat up on you as well!
I’m trying to … I might have a challenge for you by then … and i’m sure you’ll beat on me there as well! LOL
Good Show!
as a matter of fact, when are you leaving orlando … i’m only 2 hours away ???
I’m here until Sept 17. I’m leaving for Vegas on the 18th.
oh man … you’ll be here all week … I have to come up and take you out to dinner then!
Darin
I’m going to put my money on Sally Chow winning.
Well this game can turn on any side, unexpected may win!
it’s always fun when bloggers challenge each other..
You need a witness, John and Shoe!!! Can I be a witness? I’ll be in Vegas!!!
Anna
Of course you can. I’m sure there’ll be tons of witness for this challenge.
Make sure you videotape you beating up Shoe! I wanna see.
Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to video it. I have a feeling a bunch of people will be videoing it as well.
I’ll put my money on John.Kick his arse John.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! DENIED!
Secret tip – Put some glue on your hand and enter the cashinator
how about hide a powerful vacuum cleaner down your pants and have two hoses going through your sleeves and out where your wrist is
MarketLeverage should throw some twenties and hundreds into the machine to make it interesting!
Very disappointing.
Aww…that’s very sad.
What a way to attract traffic…Entertaining stuff you have here.
I remember the feed challenge of john with shoe, and how it tripled his feedcount
You should’ve said yes! This would’ve been classic to watch.
I guessed it right. $100 is not enough for a dinner, what’s the point?
Just as Ali needs Frazier, Batman needs Joker, Ahab needs the Great White Whale.
John Chow needs Shoemoney. We get measured by our nemesis.
Unfortunately for me, I would probably have a blogger from Romania with a feedburner subscriber count of two and Alexa ranking of 100 million as a nemesis.
lol
hahahaha….I think that is pretty funny. You guys really now how to keep the traffic flowing.
Good luck John.
John When you first start in the machine and the air turns on, open the underside of your shirt to get money stuck in there then do your trick when the air turns off.
That’s nice. I hope that you give the money to me.
this will be interesting
Two heavy-weight internet marketing bloggers are now getting funny with their competition.
You said you’re going to beat up on him… does that mean you’re both going to be in the cashinator at the same time, together? lol That might be worth a ticket to Vegas just to see that. (Just don’t pull a Tyson and bite his ear off)
You know, it must be nice! That’s all I have to say… LOL!
That should be a great challenge between John And Shoe! $100 is not much, I think you are just challenge for a fun right? Hope you 2 enjoy there John! Wish you luck !!
No man, John you should have excepted the challenge bro..You are one of the Idol For us in blogosphere..
Funny! A rejection… looks like there’d be no contest then. Too bad as I’m planning to see all you guys at BlogWorld. And watching ya’ll try the cashinator will be darn fun. 10-sec at $16 bucks is the score to beat eh?
Nothing better than a friendly blogger challenge.
lol.. rejection..
now wait for Shoe’s answer…
Well, you’ve done it before, so it should be a lot easier right?
*Tip. Get a big shirt, so the money gets all blown in when you widen the bottom part.
Definitely wasn’t expecting a rejection haha nice
Ha ha, I wish I could be there, good luck guys!
-Francois
Awesome challenge good luck to you both…!
good job john you the best
How about making some useful posts now, John ? link baits are fine but really almost every post(?) on your blog is turning out to be totally useless.
Anyway best of Luck for the challenge
Keep up the good work John!
Good luck on this one.
Ho, good luck, John, I bet you will win!
Ya! Come on down and tell where all the good restaurants are!
You definitely want to check out Vines Grill & Wine Bar. It’s about 5 mins by car from your hotel. The best steak I’ve had in Orlando and the wine selection is huuuuge.
