Dot Com Pho – Switch On Edition

written by John Chow on June 19, 2010

Make Money!

A full house of 10 people showed up for today’s action packed Dot Com Pho, which started at 12:30 and didn’t end until almost 4:00PM. It’s a good thing that Mr. Happy Pho is a really happy guy and likes us a lot. Otherwise, I doubt he would tolerate us staying at his restaurant for over three hours. Most of the attendees were Pho regulars but we did have one new member. Chris Campagnolo recently moved to Vancouver and is now part of our little meetup group. Anyone is welcome to join us for Dot Com Pho. Follow me on Twitter to find the time and place of the next one.

For the Switch On Edition of Dot Com Pho, we have the winners of the Entrepreneur Heroes trading cards, how to get beat up at the World Cup, Ed being late as usual, fake leather iPad covers, the worthless iPad app of the week, a necklace that relieves pain and a drink that can cure almost anything that is ailing you. We also selected the winners of the ten Affiliate Summit gold passes but it didn’t make the video. I’ll post the pass winners tomorrow. Enjoy the episode.

Where is current dot com pho John

Seems to me that you are quite busy in your new venture.

Trying ipads, yeah? pretty cool... seems like everyone wants an invitation :D

how can i get access to this invitations cos i am really interested??

Are these events by invitation only?

Can't wait to see you at ASE.

Definitely another action packed dot com pho! You're going to have to start reserving private rooms if you group keeps growing.

i would like to try the ipads too....
but i prefer my iphone...:-)

anyway nice restaurant there john... for three hours... that was tiring...

These lunch meetings look so fun! I wish I lived somewhat closer to Vancouver!

Yeah actually. I know a couple people who live there and personally i'd love to be there...

cant wait to know who is the winner:)

Yeah i'm also impatient about that! :D

I just noticed, since this is the switch on edition not much was discussed on the topic, I wanted to know more because I'm a skeptic when it comes to healing pendants & wands.

Yes, a very little "switch on"

So am I, in my opinion they can be outright dangerous when people use them instead of looking for medical help, delaying important treatment. I am a nurse by background / training and I have seen real "worst case scenarios" because of people believing more in such healing thingies than in standard medicine, burst appendix anybody? SY

Yes, but these are alternative therapies. I don't think the people who use them have serious disorders but minor ones such as back pain or fatigue.

Believe me, they do, have seen enough cases like this when I worked in the hospital. Kind of denial of the seriousness of a situation plays also into this. SY

Congrats to all winners. I wonder if that Ipad jacket will come with Ipad itself as well.. Just kidding. I wish I am from Vancouver too so I can win some prizes as well. :)

Hi John,

Didn't make it this time due to jet-lag but I'll be there soon if not the next time.

Congrats to all the winners.

As for the restaurant owner, I think he's tickled pink to have you as regular customers not to mention the free advertising of his business he gets.

Vance

A big group = $$$ plus free advertising and I bet u still order stuff throughout the four hours. And u guys probably tip good, right? ;)

Plus they actually eat and drink there, which means income, plus like you say, each of the dot pho participants might come back on other occasions with other friends. Nearly viral marketing ;-) SY

Dot Com Pho is going to big within a few years. Pretty soon they'll pack the whole restaurant. And Saturday will be reserved for dot com pho. Just watch :)

Haha i'm sure that will be the case in few years :D

Thanks for the trading congratulations to the other four winners!

Rofl, that I call bad luck, the guys just before and after me won and Michael's finger missed me just by millimetres ;-) Congratulations to the winners, have fun! SY

lol yea. I saw my gravatar multiple times as well. I shouldve commented more on that post :P

I would rather drive around the Nuremburg Ring in a garbage truck...filled with month old camel meat...backwards...on fire...than play that game again. It must've been made in a country where people have no concept of how cars work and the only mode of transportation is via ox-cart.

Having 6-player multiplayer is a completely moot point as anyone that would be stupid enough to download and play such a horrible game is not going to have 5 friends.

didn't u download the game lol ;)
most free games are garbage unless they're demos of paid games.

.....and congratulation on getting 101K RSS subscriber marks, another feather in your cap.

I just noticed that too Shanker! 101K is absolutely amazing. :-)

John passed 100k in the last couple of days. There was a post dedicated to this.

But I see it keeps hovering at around 94-100k.

Congrats Ian & Dino! I was hoping. That'd I'd get a pack too. :P

I'm so excited - I won a pack of Entrepreneur Heros Trading Cards! :-) Sweet! Thanks John, another awesome episode of Dot Com Pho. Congrats to the other winners as well. Awesome to see my friend Dino Vedo winning a pack as well, in addition to the other 3 lucky winners.

Michael also deserve some thanks from you ...

After all his finger picked you ;)

I can see INDIA PAKISATAN cricket match in progression on TV behind [ @ 0:07 thats Syed Afridi ]

Sounds a little strange...but ok...LOL

Yes seems to me that Michael is now official picker of the winner of John Chow.

No comments from Michael ... although he never miss this kind of reply chances ... :)

Ha! Guess I'm a lucky guy huh? Number one pick! hahaha nice job to you too Ian!!

You Just Missed it, did you notice it. [@3:15]

Congrats! Not sure what exactly you will be doing with them, but congrats nonetheless :-)

I get sick of all those ipads in the videos! (I need to get one myself :) )

Haha i actually love my iPad! :P

the gold pass winner video should be interesting...

Man get me a drink of that stuff... need it badly. hahah

Congrats to the Trading Card winner!

And Thanks for the hype on announcing the ASE winners.....you are creating the suspends :-)

After reading what seems like hundreds of dot com pho updates I'm starting to really think I need to make it to Vancouver for one. They look great, not to mention the delicious food.

Had fun watching those iPads. I wanna buy one Now!

For real! lol the book contest better end this month for sure because i wanna win it already ;)

I haven't got anything big from John recently, are you listening John.
