In Today’s Richmond News
My mainstream media coverage continues as I made this week’s edition of the Richmond News newspaper. The article isn’t online yet but residents living in Richmond will be able to walk to their corner store and pick up a copy. I’ll update this post when the article is online.
Winning The Web Passes $12,000 In Prizes
It just keeps getting bigger. The contest at Winning The Web is turning into a monster. The total prize pool is now at $12,201! It is truly turning into the craziest Internet marketing contest ever. If you haven’t got in on it yet, you still have time. The contest is over at the end of the month. If I win anything, it’ll go to you guys.
Easter Egg Hunt!
In other contest news, Caroline Middlebrook is holding an Easter egg hunt on her blog. Over the next three days, she’ll be ‘hiding’ a total of 30 easter eggs on her blog and inviting visitors to hunt for them. Caroline will be giving away 10 copies of my soon-to-be-released StumbleUpon traffic course as prizes.
How Do You Count Your Cash?
If you thought that everyone counts their cash the same way, you would be wrong. This video shows the many different ways people count their cash. How do you count your cash? I use a one of those cash counting machines because there’s too much cash to count by hand.

Interesting video!
Now I’ll be heading over to join that Easter egg hunt. What a great idea!
Reply to this commentDefinitely, Caroline thought of a very creative idea
Reply to this commentHow exactly do you hide easter eggs on a blog?
Reply to this commentThey’re graphic images of easter eggs and I just inserted them into a bunch of blog posts
Reply to this commentThis idea of Caroline must be very interesting. I’ll go check it out and start looking for the eggs hidden somewhere. John must have known where to find them hehehe.
Reply to this commentMy dad counts money like the second way shown
I think its pretty coool.
Reply to this commentLol, too much money…to food

Reply to this commentI don’t get to count any cash. Everything is either direct deposited, or paypal. So I guess I just look at the number on the ATM receipt, or online. Either that or my website isn’t making money like John Chow. So pretty pretty please visit my site and check it out! JC bathes in his money.
BTW - I was waiting for another misc rambling post. Cant wait till your end of money figures.
Reply to this commentI’ve just watched the video. Actually we, Eastern European people count the money like Japanese people (the first example in the video), but we do it much faster. It would take a year to count 1 million Hungarian Forints (approximately: 6000 USD) with that speed.
Anyway, I really like this video, it’s interesting.
Reply to this commentI work at a bank, and that video is spot on! There are an infinite number of ways people like to count their cash, and a lot of people complain that the bills that come out of our machine aren’t all facing the same way (as in the queen’s head face up and on the right on our 20 dollar bills). Of all the things to complain about!!!!
Reply to this commentThat video was definitely on spot. It was cool to hear an experience from someone that works @ a bank!
Reply to this commentHaha, interesting vid. =)
Reply to this comment…Your soon-to-be-released StumbleUpon traffic course…?
Reply to this commentHehe that was a typo - he copied the text I wrote in my email. It’s *MY* StumbleUpon course, not John’s
Reply to this commentYes -I catch it - It should be your name instead. ( so one has to send e-mail - noted )
Reply to this commentthats a cool video. I was thinking where do u get all this ideas from?

Thanks for sharing the news. That WTW contest is getting crazier and crazier as the month goes on… Thanks for sharing that Easter Egg contest and the $ counting clip.
Reply to this commentThat contest sure is going to attract a lot of participants.
Reply to this commentJohn, thank you very much for all your inspiring articles. You have been of great help to new bloggers like me. While wishing you more power to your elbow (& pen!), I look forward to partnering with you as I continue in my blogger’s journey.
Reply to this commentBest regards.
Africans don’t count like that!!! In Africa, 5 year olds are hardened entrepreneurs and they would laugh if someone (me for example) counted so slow!
Reply to this commentIn India, may do not count the money. it will be in bags because of the inflation. so you pay in one bag or two if you wanna buy big houses or a car.
Reply to this commentVery interesting video! I didn’t know that people counted money in such different ways.
The WTW contest is totally bad now in my opinion. It got way too inflated to the point that people are losing interest because they feel like they cannot win. This is a perfect example of how not to run a blog site.
Reply to this commentthat’s pretty funny I count it just the way I should, not sure about the other countries but I know asia and the US are dead on.
Reply to this commentI posted the same video on my blog too almost 6hrs ago and saw this post here… john i was first this time… and nice to see that i thought the same way the john thoughy
Reply to this commentWhat if you don’t have any cash to count?
Reply to this commentExcatly , I need the cash to figure out how I count it
Reply to this commentLooking forward to reading the write up about you in the Richmond News.
Reply to this commentI’d like to with the StumbleUpon traffic course. I’ll have to check out the Easter egg contest.
Reply to this commentIn the service industry, such as waiters in restaurants, if you are giving money back to the boss or cash register, you count the money in the “outward” direction, facing away from you.
If you are counting your tips at the end of the night, you count the bills “towards” you.
The money goes in the direction of the receiver.
Not sure how they count the loonies and toonies…
Reply to this commentAfricans count as the first ones i.e japan and the japan counts more or less like the british (mega slow!).
Reply to this commentlol, I count my money as the last manner
Reply to this commentJohn, thank u so much for your generous blogging guides at all times.
Reply to this commentYou’ve been so wonderful
Very cool video. I am going to have to try some of these in front of peeps!
Reply to this commenthahaha, what a cool clip! i think the indian way is the most slick! do you really have a cash counter those are really really expensive!
Reply to this commentSo you big guys are supporting Gyutae for his carzy contest haan
Reply to this commentIf i will have that much money i will count it in every possible way.
Reply to this commentI am wondering what was the source of the person when he mentioned this is how the money is count in Pakistan and other parts of Turkey because I am from Pakistan and I know that bankers don’t count money like that ..
Reply to this commentThe easter egg hunt is a slick idea.
Reply to this commentJohn you were trying to say that you earn a lot but in fact you did really earn a lot.
