Million Euro Wiki – John Copy Cow Strikes Again

written by John Chow on September 24, 2007

Profit from binary options

John Cow rocketed to fame by being the best of the John Chow dot Com copycats. While his blog was basically a parody of mine, it did offer good humor and its own unique brand of content. However, the cow’s newest venture, the Million Euro Wiki, isn’t a parody at all. It’s pretty much a carbon copy of the Million Dollar Wiki. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The Million Dollar Wiki has made almost $100,000 since it started. If you’re going to copy something, then it’s best to copy something that is making good money.

The Million Euro Wiki is basically the Million Dollar Home page meets Wikiipedia. There will be a page for literally everything. However, instead of being open for anyone to edit, one person owns each page and can monetize it anyway they see fit. I have already made a profit on my Million Dollar Wiki page and expect to do the same for my page on the Million Euro Wiki. Each page cost €75 or $100US. If you missed the keyword you wanted on the Million Dollar Wiki, you have a chance to get it on the Euro page.

Use Coupon Code JohnChow for 10% Discount

Like the Million Dollar Wiki, I have set up a 10% coupon code for the Million Euro Wiki. Enter JohnChow when you buy a page and you’ll save $10.

Win 1 of 20 16GB iPod Touch

To create a big bang, the Million Euro Wiki is giving away twenty 16GB iPod Touch to some lucky page owners. For every 25 pages sold, the cow will randomly select one of the page-owners and give them a brand new 16GB iPod touch worth $400.

Twenty pages have been sold on its first day (today). Five more and the first iPod will be given away. If you don’t win the first giveaway, you’ll have another chance when the next 25 pages are sold, and then the next 25, and so on. Therefore, the earlier you buy your page, the more chances you have of winning. If I win the iPod, I’ll give it away to a reader.

JohnCow sold more than 70 pages. looks like he is successful in getting his expenses and some profit.

FYI...The domain names; Trillion Dollar Wiki and Billion Dollar Wiki have both been purchased :roll:

I hate all these clones.. of Million dollar homepage.. like milliondollarwiki or millioneurowiki

Is there somebody out there who can explain to me the point of paying $100 to get such a page when it's so easy to get one's own blog and do the same thing or more? Is it something intended to people who don't have the knowledge to build a blog or a website or who don't want to take the time to work on that? PLease let me know because i don't understand

I really follow the logic behind buying a page.

This is the underlying recipe for this post:

1. John could purchase a page on http://www.anysiteintheuniverse.com.org/
2. Next up heavily advertise it to his readers/subscribers pushing traffic to his pages and increase his chances to make money as a result of the traffic
3. Resell the idea of buying pages on that site to his readers following in his success and skim some affiliate commission off the top
4. His readers participate and buy pages; but since they don't have the same reach or internet presence their pages receive no traffic once the hype dies down, and they are out $100.

Not a wise idea IMHO with the great ways you could make money with $100!

I wish I had the knack of thinking of these million dollar schemes.
I'm still kicking myself that I didn't think of the million dollar website concept.

:shock:
"business" sold for $6,100 on mdw auction on eBay

I own it on mew. Hope I can get even half that!

Wow...sounds good...way to go!

I bought the 3 below. Contributed my bucks to John Chow and John Cow:

Editing wikipages is a pain! Anyone want to work with me on my pages for some split of revenue?

Use to get your own php or html site on there.

Is that called a Nichewiki?

:idea: Would a wiki that dealt with one topic, say cars for example, that had many sub-topics, like all the different models of cars, make money? You would also ad all the car related paraphanalia (parts, tires, hubcaps, car steros, supplies, oil, antifreeze, sparkplugs as pages...whatever)?
Exponentially.... :shock: Money... :twisted:

May I ask, what will happen if the sales drop, and the admin has no intention of keeping the site up.

Remember you have to pay the hosting fees every month, and if the site is not getting any money in will it go down with everyone's investment down with it?

Just my thought.

A very good point. In my case, I choose to market my site (slowly, but exponentially), and I have to pay for hosting for my other sites, so it is not like I am ever going to need to pay hosting fees, as my other sites pay back the costs on that 10x.

For the MDW, it is 100% on hype, thus why you see it having sold 400 in 2-3 days, but it has sold under 100 in over a week.

In my opinion, earning money is a great intention to keep a site running? =p

Good question. The Million Dollar Wiki paid hosting fees up front, if my memory serves me correctly.
J. Cow didn't mention that he had done the same.

Why are the majority of you worried about getting ripped off for a measley hundred bucks?
ALL I can think about is what kind of Million Dollar Wiki can I COPY and put up?????????????????????? Jeeze! I thought you guys wanted to make MONEY!

Hmmm.....curious to know his reserve price... he selling $2M opportunity :roll:

Wouldn't it be hard to sell a blog user account for $200 ?

wait n see I guess...

have you seen the Two Million Dollar Blog? :razz:

http://www.twomilliondollarblog.com

Aww all these millionaires popping up everywhere It's like money grows on trees!

If any one buying 5 pages here is what i think:
choice 1: Buy 5 pages for $500 or start hard work of developing and promoting pages to get money.

Choice2: Start another wiki site, give a developer 100 bucks to setup and design if needed. Wiki software is free with most of hosting providers (i now godaddy gives it). Get a review from Mr.Chow for $400. If you can sell 5 pages or he can sell 5 for you, you are already made your money. Throw in some prizes for first 50 people and u can make good money. more over you have tons of pages for your self.

Even more, make a partnership with someone like me, we chip in the expenses and share the profit :) Free pages at least.....

What do you guys say?

well, as john said in the post it's better to copy a top spot idea than copying something that's doomed to fail before it had even started.

These million dollar wiki's need to be posting stats of sign ups every day for me to join. I want to see the upward trend when its not getting PR from john chow.

Two of these kind of sites is over doing it. Smart though, I'm sure he'll walk away with a few thousand which is probably worth the effort.

Precisely.. a bit of a jip TBH

This post do not has any link to Million Euro homepage :?:

I dont like copycats, if everybody would do that there wont be any inovations in this world. The johncow.com is nice, but this millioneurowiki I dont like it.

I can not help get the feeling that perhaps John Chow is somehow taking all of us for a ride. What is this copy cat business? I really wonder if both Chow and Cow are the same and the original is having a good laugh at all of us!

It crossed my mind already. hehe

About time someone put 2 and 2 together i say ... brilliant though in my opinion. :smile:

LoL I don't know but I don't think so.

But hey John's :twisted:

Promoting copycats and plagiarism ?What's next?

959 pages have been sold on the milliondollarwiki so far, it was the same yesterday and roughly the same last week, don't you think this is dying out?
90% of pages have not sold yet, so what makes anyone think a new site offering the exact same thing will do any better & it has to do better to meet its target - 1 million euros rather than 1 million dollars?

Hey lets make millionczkwiki.com than membership would be 20 times less than dollar :idea:

If it was a IPhone, I be more tempted.

Off topic, but are you hosting Shoe's radio show again?

i see no one talks about the paidwiki.org , visit through my link and i'll make $23 :evil:

too many of these type of sites keep popping up

cow has alreadymade more than what he spent, so in his eyes (and pockets) its a success. I am looking forward to seeing one of these big name bloggers do something cool and big. like come up with someone brand new and cool.

How about you come up with something brand new and cool? Complaining is so 1984.

HeHe it's like you're fishing out for another 75 euros :P

I like the million euro Wiki, its a great idea to have. I have listed also another 2 more less expensive wiki which could well be a good try for those who do not want to spend too much?.. :mrgreen:

This one will die. He'll still make a lot of money though.

yes.. the copycats now established himself..
I am one of his blog readers..

John Chow, you have plenty of customers, I think you should run youself a million wiki or something. You definitely can make bigger than they are. At least $10,000 per month I think!

Yep, I agree. John can make over $10,000 per month just with creating something like the million dollar wiki. Add that to his regular income - This add up to about $25,000 per month! :eek:

You can never know with these things. It might not work

John will make it work lol

Heh John, love this blog. Really impressive and lots of fun.
Have been checking it out twice daily for a few weeks now and have seriously learnt a lot of new things. Keep up the excellent work.

As for John Cow... the guy is a great copycat. Its all good. Will have a look at the million euro wiki right away. thanks.
