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...

Sounds like fun! Now, to think of something creative…
Did you even read the post??
John – btw you are truly evil. Did you plan this before he ordered the review from you? Because now people have already bought pages off the milliondollarwiki after the review. Now you are just urging them to buy more pages for a contest, truly evil.
hahahaha. I like that comment.
@ twins. yes this jc is evil. no doubt about it.
@ JC. I like your style. you evil genius
Yeah maybe they have some kind of profit sharing agreement going on?!?
They should based on the amount of cash each has helped the other to generate!
These giant prizes are really awesome however, the smaller blogs such as myself can’t offer such huge prizes!
Hey John, I thought you might be interested, I’m running a contest where the prize could include a Review on this site. I call it, the Complete Blog Package!
true that!
John, how many of those signed books do you have?
Tim sent me a dozen copies.
I smell EVIL in the air!!!
yea me too. john makes being evil so cool.
haha. I think he has given away like 4 so far so theres still a lot more where that comes from.
how about sneaky?
yeah, I know, right? I say that’s great thinking ahead!

That is a lot of books to go.
Hopefully you have dozen of those lcd tv too
Forget the signed books!
How many of those LCD TV’s do you have!?!?
I wonder too! I didn’t think he was going to give away another monitor otherwise I wouldn’t have to buy one like 2 days ago!
Dang…I could use that monitor. Although the book my be more beneficial
Haha!
The book is probably much more beneficial but I still prefer the idea of a huge LCD monitor!
I don’t know about John Chow. But I have one to give away!
Sign me up for two. I am going to win that monitor.
Here is where people from the MDW are showing how much they have earned themselves even Dr. Evil himself is on there. http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/Money
Did you get that LCD for free? You do a giveaway contest every few weeks!
You think I pay for this stuff? LOL Think evil!
If I were JC, I would try not to pay for anything either. Who doesn’t love free stuff, right?
everyone wants that monitor
done.
Adding a graphic pushes the ad space down… does that matter to your $1000 advertiser?
Why would it matter? That spot is a bargain for $1,000!
It would matter because it gets a lot less visibility. Now, whether the advertiser gets a say in it might be a different question.
You’re right when you say “that spot” is a bargain for $1000, but the point is that the graphic pushes the ad space down meaning that the original “spot” is no longer as valuable as the current “spot”.
How much the advertiser minds and whether the evil one would be willing to do anything about it though is another matter!
I think I’ll have to pass… sorry.
can u or anybody comments on my blog?
Yes, it’s all working fine
Something smells fishy… could it be that John Chow is actually the person behind the million dollar wiki? Hmm… wish I could get plugged like this!
Yeah I reckon you could be onto something here … is there a conspiracy in the air??!!??
I wouldn’t be surprised. By the way the pages on the Million Dollar Wiki are selling, I wouldn’t doubt if the guy behind Million Dollar Wiki reaches the $50k mark soon.
That and he did say he will show us all a way to “make it” without his name.
Funny stuff.
He IS doing an experiment to see how he can go from zero to hero and how long it will take to be successful. I think $3000 was the mark right? With almost 300 pages sold, that could pay for a whole bunch of monitors. Hmmmmmm
I might think of writing about it… Hmm but what could be the best time, I think after office hours when my mind is all tired – then only I can think something creative
No it doesnt mean that, it means that the owner has come to John and together they have got together to make a deal.
John might get $10 a purchase, and the monitor would have been supplied, plus John gets a lot of bonus exposure. This is a guess only, but im sure its pretty close
..or maybe John signed up for his affiliate program. You can do the same thing and give away a monitor too, of course you need to have an extra monitor to give away.
I still remember the old folks say
“The Only Straight About The Chinese Is Their Hair”
-same goes to you john !!
Hey, that’s awesome, do you go around being racist on all blogs or just the more popular ones?
I still remember my mom telling me “It’s better to have everyone think you’re an idiot than to open your mouth and prove them right.” I guess your mom never told you that.
John, you should find an affiliate program for Kleenex or a brand of paper towels or something. Then all these “Oh my gosh you are SO evil, John” idiots could buy something from you to wipe the brown stain off their noses.
Considering John helped the Million Dollar Wiki sell 70 pages in one day, I’d say it was smart to work together on a new promotion. Unfortunately I already bought three pages, so I’ll pass on the page purchase so I’ll be writing about the contest instead.
i bought one “wiki” already. i could smells that this website will be big faster than we ever think. to write about wiki and john will be great idea. because john and wiki wants our readers make money online too.
damn i forgot to enter the coupon code
that sucks
If you forgot to use the coupon code, you can email them and explain it. They’ll apply the code and refund you $10.

http://se-games.blogspot.com/2007/08/win-free-24-lcd-monitor-worth-600.html
Wow, this is one pathetic scene.
These sort of idiots take spam to a whole other level.
gak ikutan ah, mesti bayar seeh
John,
You are evil!
This is one great promo!
Darin
I bought a page
I hope I win the monitor.
million dollarwiki is the next big thing out there, i think i’m buying me a page asap before it blows out of propotion. who knows i might get a chance to win the lcd too. Watch out for my page on million dollar wiki i will use it to effectively promote my vlog.
Does John ever publish the number of entries he gets for big competitions like this?
It’d be interesting to see what sort of odds you had of winning for your one entry. He’s probably way too evil to do that though?
The last monitor giveaway I did had 300 entires.
This will dilute the quality of content on the Million Dollar Wiki even more.
I do not see how this will ‘dilute the quality’, unless you think people like throwing away $100.
Moreover, I do not think the goal of the Million Dollar Wiki is quality content.
wow talk about more pages at million dollar wiki. that guy is soooo gonna be rich.
This million dollar wiki kid is quickly becoming another internet hero for all of us bloggers to love/hate pretty quick. Bravo. He gets pages, JC gets traffic. I like it.
Please don’t jump on me – but I’m little unsure why a MillionDollarWiki page is a good investment. I’d like to buy one – but what’s the difference between that and just setting up similar pages on free wiki sites?
I want to root this kid all the way to a million dollars, but wonder how valuable those pages are if this thing levels off at 500 pages.
I have a page on the MDW that will soon show how much everyone else on the site is making besides the creator. It will be featured on http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/Money in a short time.
At the of the day: good for him, not good for most of the people who buy a page.
Anyone else getting tired of the 20-30 comments saying “John you are so evil”, “thats evil”?
John, seriously you have to put an end to this.
Put an end to being evil?
Yeah, they’re right up there with the “nice post” , “great post!”, and “Thanks for the post” comments. If it looks like spam and smells like spam, it probably is spam.
However, it doesn’t appear that John minds much. I could be wrong but there are enough of them on each and every thread that I’m willing to bet he just doesn’t care.
Don’t you guys get it? This is JC’s secret website. A nobody making $$$.
I might have to agree with you on that but I wonder, JC had said that he will spend 86 bucks on advertising the site. If it is him behind the MDW then how did he pay for the $400 review on JohnChow.com? If it is JC, then the rules were broken!
HE’s not behind it, MDW has been online for a couple months already.
man. I just bought a page before I read this. Can I demand a refund and then repurchase?
While you could ask for a refund and then repurchase, the easier way would be to Email them and tell them ask them to apply the coupon code. They’ll refund $10 to you and you’ll get your entry.
LOL john,u look evil and have u planned for this by the time the review was done?
Another great contest idea. Wonder how much traffic a link will really bring my site?
Does the contest covers Mexico users too?
World wide.
Hey John keep updating this and I want to see how many people enter the contest, if chances are slim I may not, but if less people enter, I may.
John – It seems that you are always getting together with others to run these contests. Do you approach them or vice versa?
Ugh, I really dislike the Million Dollar Wiki, kind of saddned to see you team up with him. Just my opinion.
Why? Because you didn’t think of it first?
haha,,looks like john is did it again…
I feel evil so I got my copy cat site coming up soon. I will blog about it when my site is up & running..
hope i win this time lol jk
How Genious.
Not only does creating the buzz get JC traffic, but he is kick starting an idea that will probably make internet history and John Chow will definately be mentioned it the story.
Argh! Ever an early adopter, I bought a page at Million Dollar Wiki, “Make Money Blogging”, half an hour after you posted about it. I don’t mind missing the $10 coupon, but I’ve been entering to win the signed “Four Hour Workweek” since the beginning, and it sure would be nice to have the 5 entries. You’re
.
If you read the rest of the comments I’m willing to bet you can get 10 bucks back.
John you are freaking evil, you make money off a review see how much money they made off your review and you come up with a scheme to get you a cut:twisted:
Hey John, great post. Amazing prizes. I just entered myself into the contest.
I’ve bought a copy of the book (still working my way through it) and have enough monitors to embarrass the NASA control room so I’ll be giving this one a miss.
I did just want to give a shout out about the Million Dollar Wiki though. In my first week I’ve seen some very good referral results from my page. Well worth the $90 IMHO.
Ok I’m in –
http://blog.impactmt.com/2007/08/john-chow-contest-time.html
I am in. Hope I win this time. Thanks
I could definitely use a screen like that. I’m going to have to get myself entered.
Great contest!!
Put in MyBlogContest

What… no free entry? What about your loyal readers?
I hope to win the monitor too.. book s/b defanitely resourceful.
One thing I like about MDW is growing number of users. IF 300 pages are sold, close to 300 people visiting the site for sure and possibly lot more. Once it reaches to 1000 pages, It is a decent site of 1000 pages.
entered, wish me luck
Bought the word hosting in wiki wish me luck
I am in.
Gotta win this time. 
the linkback didnt show up for the post I made awhile back so here is the link for my entry:
http://www.steventruong.com/blog-contest-24-lcd-monitor-and-signed-copy-of-four-hour-workweek-book/
Not a bad idea, looks like they made $39,000 so far, pretty good…
390 people bought pages!?! Hopefully it will be a big success.
Hello John, i realy need this 24″ LCD. Can you send one for me?
Help another Canadian out? Please include me in this contest John. I miss the west coast so much…
