John Chow Market Leverage Affiliate Challenge

written by John Chow on July 21, 2008

John Chow dot Com and Market Leverage is pleased to bring you another fun and exciting contest. This time we’re doing our version of the Top Affiliate Challenge. The challenge is pretty simple. Whoever makes the most money with Market Leverage in a month will win an iPod Touch and a $200 ML Amex Reward Card.

To enter the challenge, simply sign up for Market Leverage using the special link Market Leverage gave me. This will allow me to track who is making what. The challenge starts today and goes until the end of August. I’ll have a by-weekly “Leader Board” report so you can see where you’re at. This challenge is open to new Market Leverage publishers only. If you’re already a Market Leverage publisher, then you can’t enter. However, keep reading. I have something else for you.

Make $10 and Win a 2GB Market Leverage USB Pen

The first ten Market Leverage affiliates who enter the challenge and make $10 will win a nice 2GB USB pen. This looks like a pen but it’s really a USB flash drive. And all you need to do is be one of the first 10 people to generate $10 in affiliate commissions and the pen is yours! Sign up today and start affiliate marketing.

But Wait, There’s More! Win a Flip Mino!

If you’re already a Market Leverage affiliate (or don’t want to enter the challenge), you still have a chance to win a Flip Mino! The Flip Mino is the update to the Flip Ultra and I love it because it’s so small and it works with my Mac!

To enter for a chance to win a Flip Mino, all you have to do is reply to this post. Easy, right? I’ll give you one entry for simply replying. If you make a blog post about the challenge and send a trackback, I’ll credit you with five entries. Your post should link to Market Leverage and this is contest post. If the trackback doesn’t work, enter the URL to the post in the comments.

All the winners will be selected on August 31st. Good luck!

Wow thats great Mr. Chow. I like that 2 Gig pen. I’ve heard of ML and affiliate marketing, but was never sure what it was / how it differs from stuff like Adsense. Still don’t know actually.
Anyway, good contest.

Market Leverage and Never Blue Ads are probably the two best affiliate networks on the Internet. Never Blue might have the edge because of its (extremely) user-friendly layout. It’s very easy to search for offers there, and you can pick different options and parameters for your searches. Market Leverage, on the other hand, has the edge over Never Blue in terms of payouts. They pay you more than any other affiliate network around.

mr nice guy July 21, 2008 at 8:18 pm: Oh my God! This is another contest? I’ve been joining but luck is not in me yet. Better still join this for the sake of having fun and excitements.

dcr July 21, 2008 at 9:58 am

I’ll reply for an entry to win a Flip! I’ve been wanting one, but have heard mixed reviews from Mac users.

Stephen July 21, 2008 at 11:25 am

I found a bug in the Mino for Mac. If you use the Mac and iMovie and use the import function a lot, the memory on the slowly shrinks until you have only a fraction left. Then you have to reformat it which means blowing out all the software that is installed that Flip doesn’t give you a restore disc for. Once you reformat it, it gives you a full 60 minutes again, but your software is nuked.

Other than that, it’s a good little low quality recorder. It absolutely kills the competing Vado in voice and picture quality.

dcr July 21, 2008 at 11:31 am

I don’t use iMovie. What format is the Flip saving the videos in now? Is it still the same uncommon format it was using before? Or, have they switched to something more normal, like MPEG or QT?

Stephen July 21, 2008 at 12:42 pm

It’s AVI but requires the installation of a CODEC that comes with the FLIP. Flip released it as a download for all Flip’s shortly after the release of the Mino. It’s on their support page now.

dcr July 21, 2008 at 7:36 pm: Thanks. I’ll have to look into that. I use Adobe Premiere Pro, so I want to make sure the files would work with it. I don’t want to have to go through iMovie at all, as that would add an extra step to my workflow.

John Chow July 21, 2008 at 11:43 am

You don’t need to reformat. Just show the hidden folders. You’ll see a folder call “Trash.” Empty that.

You’ll good to go again.

Stephen July 21, 2008 at 12:48 pm: Didn’t need to show hidden folders. I just emptied main trash and it seemed to work, but kind of goofy considering none of my other camcorders needed this step. Not to mention, if you forget to do this, and you’re out on the road again with it, you can’t do this without a computer. The Flip will continue to show very low capacity, even though the Flip itself says there are no videos files on the device.

Collin LaHay July 21, 2008 at 10:05 am

Dibs on the flip.

dcr July 21, 2008 at 10:12 am

Flip off! It’s mine!

Geiger July 21, 2008 at 10:54 am

Umm… I’ve been waiting for this flip for while. “Super Dibbs”.

dcr July 21, 2008 at 11:28 am

I declare Triskaidekaduper Dibbs, which trumps your Super Dibbs.

Strip July 21, 2008 at 11:39 am: Double Double Dog Dibbs – –Should I just give you my address now John?

TYCP Entertainment Magazine July 22, 2008 at 5:16 am

Zak Show July 21, 2008 at 11:15 am

Wow, very cool contest again, I applied to be a Market Leverage affiliate 1 week ago and I didn’t got a reply from the yet! What’s the problem? It takes a lot of time to get an answer ( approved or declined, whatever just an answer! )

Does this extra comment give me an additional entry ?

Secret Affiliate Code July 21, 2008 at 1:45 pm

A word to the wise: I noticed that John has that Carbon Copy Pro ad embedded in the post. I looked into that opportunity, and it seems real enticing. I think they charge something like $47 or $67 for you to submit an application (to be accepted into the opportunity). But that’s where the enticing nature of the offer ends. Apparently, the REAL cost to get access to the tools that they claim makes thousands of dollars on autopilot (much like the Reverse Funnel System) is like $7,000 to $10,000!! Again, you pay them a nominal fee just to apply, and then you still have to pay all that money upfront for what seems like a pyramid-like scheme. I went through their sales page, and I could not find any product that they’re selling.

TYCP Entertainment Magazine July 22, 2008 at 5:19 am: I went to Carbon Copy Pro’s site a while back & never went again. Obvious scam.

Eric July 21, 2008 at 1:51 pm

Great contest – I am in! Just signed up and looking forward to seeing what I can put together.

Secret Affiliate Code July 21, 2008 at 1:52 pm

Ugh. What about the people who are already Market Leverage affiliates!!

Make Money Talks July 21, 2008 at 2:04 pm

Looks like nice contest!

Bryn Youngblut July 21, 2008 at 2:26 pm

Sweet deal I want a flip soooo bad.

IronBlogger July 21, 2008 at 2:40 pm

Market Leverage seems to be really pushing it these days. This little contest seems a lot similar to the one Tyler is running.

I have entered it though and hope to be a top contestant.

big jason July 21, 2008 at 2:45 pm

give me the flip john or my bunnies will be after you!!!!

VikingBlogger July 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

James Wilcox July 21, 2008 at 3:08 pm

cool challenge. I signed up and I’ll be blogging about it as soon as my membership is approved. Hopefully before the contest ends!

betshopboy July 21, 2008 at 3:17 pm

One Year Millionaire July 21, 2008 at 3:22 pm

I’m already with Market Leverage. I want a flip mino though.

Enkay Blog July 21, 2008 at 3:45 pm

The flip is a great camera and it wouldn’t hurt to have another one. I also have a Market Leverage contest going on John where im giving away an EEE PC and some other stuff. Check it out!

Ryan @ Smarter Wealth July 21, 2008 at 4:04 pm

Wow this is a great challenge, A question though
How can a struggling/budding entrepreneur like me who has a blog with traffic of 50 people per day ever hope to compete and win against people who already have blog traffic of around 20,000 + a day?

Andy Crofford July 21, 2008 at 5:18 pm: Just try. You only have to make $10.00. I say go for it.

Zlatan July 21, 2008 at 4:09 pm

Jeremy July 21, 2008 at 5:09 pm

dormenomics July 21, 2008 at 5:10 pm

Nick July 21, 2008 at 5:13 pm

I’ll comment and enter, then if I win, I promise that I will give it away!

Eric July 21, 2008 at 5:19 pm

Has anyone been approved yet? How long does it generally take?

I want a Mino. The ultra which I won elsewhere seems to be a refurbished one. Need to replace it.

pyjammez July 21, 2008 at 6:46 pm

Count me in! I want a flip! My last video camera didn’t have a very rewarding life. I threw a rock off a cliff while rock climbing and it coincidentally landed on my bag and broke my phone and video camera. But this one I’d treat much better

dcr July 21, 2008 at 7:09 pm: Too bad the camera didn’t get the shot!

amirulcyber July 21, 2008 at 6:53 pm

thank you john for such a useful info.you are my idol.

G July 21, 2008 at 7:43 pm

Oooh boy. Another contest I have no chance of winning -_-

dcr July 21, 2008 at 9:18 pm: You have a chance! You probably have a better chance of winning the Flip than of winning the lottery.

TYCP Entertainment Magazine July 22, 2008 at 6:47 am

I’m interesting in the Flip!

PaulB July 22, 2008 at 7:21 am

What advantages do Market Leverage have over NeverBlue? Some of these networks run 99% the same offers but if ML were different enough to NB I’ll sign up and splash some cash.

Put me in for the Flip anyway (couldn’t find anywhere close by in Vegas to buy one).

brady ware July 22, 2008 at 7:27 am

I think I’ll sign up for Market Leverage hopefully they will approve my application. I just got off the phone with azoogle ads. They want to know what kind of experience I had in ppc? I said none I want to get started and run a couple of offers. They said wellll hmmmm we don’t really approve applications for beginners we want people with experience in ppc. Anyone have any recommendations on affiliate networks that will accept beginners?

Michael Clark July 22, 2008 at 7:44 am

Filp Mino! yah

I’m doing this as we speak, and I hope my affiliate earnings will increase.

I’m really into this affiliate marketing, but I didn’t work so much as to have real earnings out of it. I’ll let you know how I’m doing.

Chris Silver July 23, 2008 at 12:12 pm

I just joined Market Leverage yesterday. They have great support. An affiliate manager contacted me right away to see if I had any questions. Their advertisers are top-notch. The market Leverage banners are nice.

Tom July 24, 2008 at 1:34 pm

I applied for ML yesterday (and confirmed my phone number), but I didn’t get the phone call yet. Today I tried to contact the assistant they assigned to me, but she’s been out of office.
