Answering The Shoemoney Challenge

written by John Chow on September 12, 2008

How to make $593 in less than one hour

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.

Darin

John Chow September 12, 2008 at 6:44 pm

Are you going to be at Blog World? I’ll be more than happy to beat up on you as well! :P

Darin Carter September 12, 2008 at 6:46 pm

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!

Darin Carter September 12, 2008 at 6:47 pm

John Chow September 12, 2008 at 6:56 pm

I’m here until Sept 17. I’m leaving for Vegas on the 18th.

Darin Carter September 12, 2008 at 7:15 pm

I’m going to put my money on Sally Chow winning.

Abdul September 13, 2008 at 2:48 am

Well this game can turn on any side, unexpected may win!

it’s always fun when bloggers challenge each other..

Anna September 12, 2008 at 7:31 pm

You need a witness, John and Shoe!!! Can I be a witness? I’ll be in Vegas!!!
Anna

John Chow September 12, 2008 at 7:38 pm

Of course you can. I’m sure there’ll be tons of witness for this challenge.

Steven-Sanders September 12, 2008 at 7:45 pm

Make sure you videotape you beating up Shoe! I wanna see.

John Chow September 12, 2008 at 7:59 pm

Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to video it. I have a feeling a bunch of people will be videoing it as well.

Steven Wilson Marketing September 12, 2008 at 8:10 pm

I’ll put my money on John.Kick his arse John.

Amanda September 12, 2008 at 8:18 pm

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! DENIED! :)

Rockstar sid September 12, 2008 at 8:25 pm

Secret tip – Put some glue on your hand and enter the cashinator :D

James September 12, 2008 at 8:58 pm

how about hide a powerful vacuum cleaner down your pants and have two hoses going through your sleeves and out where your wrist is :)

Zac Johnson September 12, 2008 at 9:11 pm

MarketLeverage should throw some twenties and hundreds into the machine to make it interesting!

Nebraska SEO September 12, 2008 at 10:20 pm

Very disappointing.

Skidzopedia.com September 12, 2008 at 10:32 pm

Aww…that’s very sad.

Fadzuli September 12, 2008 at 11:41 pm

What a way to attract traffic…Entertaining stuff you have here.

Abdul September 13, 2008 at 2:52 am

I remember the feed challenge of john with shoe, and how it tripled his feedcount

TYCP Entertainment Magazine September 13, 2008 at 12:17 am

You should’ve said yes! This would’ve been classic to watch.

100kjob September 13, 2008 at 12:57 am

I guessed it right. $100 is not enough for a dinner, what’s the point?

NDN September 13, 2008 at 4:36 am

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.

Tyler Cruz September 13, 2008 at 5:41 am

lol

ebay auction tool September 13, 2008 at 7:10 am

hahahaha….I think that is pretty funny. You guys really now how to keep the traffic flowing.

Andy Crofford September 13, 2008 at 7:10 am

Good luck John.

Collin - Feed Flare September 13, 2008 at 7:42 am

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.

Ganesh September 13, 2008 at 7:49 am

That’s nice. I hope that you give the money to me. ;)

ZK@WebTrafficROI September 13, 2008 at 8:15 am

this will be interesting

mikedone September 13, 2008 at 9:30 am

Two heavy-weight internet marketing bloggers are now getting funny with their competition.

jj-momscashblog September 13, 2008 at 10:55 am

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)

VeRonda September 13, 2008 at 4:36 pm

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 !!

Typhoon September 14, 2008 at 8:42 am

No man, John you should have excepted the challenge bro..You are one of the Idol For us in blogosphere.. :(

Deep Arora September 14, 2008 at 9:06 am

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?

Bryn Youngblut September 14, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Nothing better than a friendly blogger challenge. :)

Make money online September 14, 2008 at 8:47 pm

lol.. rejection..
now wait for Shoe’s answer…

Static September 14, 2008 at 9:57 pm

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. ;)

ROMAN September 14, 2008 at 11:09 pm

Definitely wasn’t expecting a rejection haha nice

Cape Town SEO September 15, 2008 at 2:06 am

Web Hosting Coupon Codes September 15, 2008 at 10:13 pm

good job john you the best

Pushkar September 15, 2008 at 10:33 pm

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

German Romance September 16, 2008 at 1:50 am

Keep up the good work John!

O.Messaoud September 16, 2008 at 2:13 am

Good luck on this one.

Frank Richard September 17, 2008 at 12:03 am

Ho, good luck, John, I bet you will win!

John Chow September 12, 2008 at 7:36 pm

Ya! Come on down and tell where all the good restaurants are!

Tom September 13, 2008 at 7:47 pm

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.
