Build Your Online Business Now

Congrats goes out to Hugh Hollowell for winning $50 in cold hard cash. Well, it was really a PayPal payment but you get the idea. Hugh was the first to reply to this secret message sent into the full feed RSS.

RSS Readers – The first reader to email me will win $50 in cold hard cash (well, by PayPal)! I will only reply to the winner. If you don’t get a reply, it means you lost.

Hugh will be receiving his $50 from Preblogging.com. It’s a blog for bloggers who are not Problogging but wish to eventually get to that level. Preblogging.com is run by Becky and she was kind enough to be a sponsor for my RSS competition against Shoemoney. Thanks Becky!

Too busy trading U.S stocks and options, however been looking into the FOREX market.

Looks like the books all gone, may buy a copy instead.

Thanks for bringing this book to my attention.

Das Brain

ahh..this is how the feed contest looks like

I want the book too.

Gimmie the book, gimmie the book!

nah. He'll give me the book!

Congrats to the winner. Damn, I should have noticed that message earlier in my RSS...

Congats! I registered to the feed as well to not miss out any of this :oops:

Congrats Hugh Hollowell ;) hope you put in good use the 50 bucks

Congratulations Hugh. I missed the boat and envy you!

Its time to win the Winning Strategies :twisted:

I wan to win the next competition...I didn't see the secret message as well.

I'll pay more attention next time.

Trying again for the book!

Umm, I'd be interested in that book. Perhaps, one must foresee what grace cheng has to say.

Amazing what I do for a chance at a book...

I subscribe via Klipfolio on my desktop and never see any secret messages.

I think I saw the RSS Feed about 10 minutes after 1am, Eastern Time. I was reading another feed in Google Reader and saw my count had changed, so I flipped over and saw it was John's.

I read through it, saw the text, almost ignored it, but said, "Why the h*ll not?"

Cash is good. Its cold, its hard and its green.

Wow... That's freakin' awesome! Next time, will you give out $500????

I would have won but I read the other post not in my RSS reader...doh!!

I read your RSS feed the first thing I wake up every morning.

Arg! I shouldn't have paid more attention.

Those books seems interesting :roll: Anyone here is in forex? Forex is great for extra income I can assure that!

I'm in forex. You are right, forex give more extra income :D

Yes I know Pipholic and I am sure many people still don't know what is forex ;)

I have to read Google Reader more frequently.

The book sounds interesting.

Congrats! Now that I call pay to send emails. $50 for one email is great! Spend it wisely!

all along I thought I was subscribed...I signed up for the newsletter but not the feed. Congrats on the $50. Now I want that forex book :)

Hidden RSS messages...very very tricky. Nice tactic. I don't think I've seen that one before!

Oh too bad! I missed that line in RSS.

Dang! I guess I'm going to have to use the feed more than just at work. But when I'm at home, I'd rather just browse to the site and see if there is anything new.

Maybe I can at least win the book!

John, how much minutes were needed for Hugh to reply you after publishing previous post?

I got your e-mail 43 seconds after you sent it, but I didn't read the whole thing. Damn! :evil:

Well done Hugh, $50 is nice! BUT not as nice as the $125 cash I'm giving away at the moment! :smile:

I'm glued to my RSS feed for this one.

Thank You, Thank You.
I will take this hard won money and fritter it away on necessities.

Now if any of you could use a hardworking freelance writer or ghostblogger...

Thanks again, John and Becky!

Ok here I go again for a shot at the book.

Congrats Hugh! :mrgreen:

Now that is a very, very sneaky way of encouraging people to subscribe to your RSS feed! And that's also a great way to encourage people to actually READ the posts and not just skim the headlines. I guess that's why you're the evil mogul huh? :D

wish i won that money from your's truly thegeekboys.com

7 Winning Strategies for Forex Trading sounds interesting.

What happen to 4Hour Work Week? All given away?

That reminds me, I have yet to collect my Forex book that I won. Maybe I can get it this Saturday at dot com pho? :razz:

Well guess I will submit to the RSS... :twisted:
