Do You Have What It Takes To Be a Top Affiliate?

written by John Chow on March 4th, 2008

Think you got what it takes to be a top affiliate? Then prove it by entering the Top Affiliate Challenge! Top Affiliate Challenge is the web’s first real-time reality show. 12 internet contestants will be divided into three teams. Each team will be led by an industry guru.

Individuals will compete personally as well as part of their team to maintain their place on the show. The team with the least earnings will lose one member to elimination. The last contestant standing earns the title of Top Affiliate, cash and other prizes.

How To Enter

To enter for a chance to be on the Top Affiliate Challenge, all you need to do is submit an audition video. Auditions are being accepted from now until the end of May. The 12 contestants for the show will be selected in June and filming will begin on July 1.

The show will run for two weeks so if you enter, please makes sure you can get the first two weeks of July off. The show will be filmed in Lincoln, Nebraska and all expenses will be paid. This is a world wide audition. Anyone can enter.

Getting Revenge On The Shoe

Shoemoney and I have signed on be two of the team leaders. This will be a good opportunity for me to get some sweet revenge. Shoe beat me in our RSS competition by exploiting a bug in FeedBurner.

Aside from going toe to toe with Shoe again, this will be a great branding opportunity for me and I’m really looking forward to being on the show and meeting my team members. I hear they have really good steaks in Nebraska.

Enter The Top Affiliate Challenge

We all know how well internet reality shows do… just look at Joel Comm’s “Next Internet Millionaire”. :roll:

I think they are eventually gonna capitalize on the DVD sales. I hate watching videos on blogs, don’t think I will take out the time to watch this.

I’ll watch it when I have the time as it could be fun. I don’t think I’ll be too interested in a DVD copy though. :lol:

As long as it’s intertaining and informative, I think there will be a fair amount of people that watch it. They would be wise to make the first episode as entertaining as possible.

Sorry guys, no DVD sales on this show - or after it. The show is our product, and its not a device to sell a secondary info-product.

This is going to be great to see. I’m assuming it will be avilable on YouTube or some place? I hope we can all learn some tricks of the trade from the masters.

I don’t think that John will win this time.
Pagerank dropped to 3 by the way.
JC, what is the problem with Big G nowadays??!!

Shoemoney’s page rank dropped too, but that has nothing to do with Affiliate Marketing anyways.

Sounds like a UFC payperview….

Yeah, watch out John, Jeremy is a fan of the UFC. Keep an eye out and see if they are setting up an octagon for the show. Be sure to guard against the rear naked choke hold. :lol:

They just had UFC 82 so it’ll be great if this is a success and there is a TAC 82 in the future.

This looks like a cool affiliate challenge! Regarding Shoemoney and RSS subscribers, you now already quite a gap ahead of him. I remember that it was the other way around not long ago! :wink:

This is a great idea for a reality show and considering the popularity of reality shows, this should be no different.

John Chow vs Shoemoney

It’s going to be a great show to watch these two go up against eachother and see who comes out the winner.

Get your audition tapes in if you want to be a part of it!

Looks like established affiliates. Newbies are still learning how to make money as affiliates.

I doubt I’ll get in but it’s really cool that you are going to have a chance to take shoe down. I’m routing for you! It was really disappointing when I found out that he took advantage of the FeedBurner bug to beat you, it shows bad sportsmanship.
