After finding out about the Million Dollar Wiki from this blog, the Shoe has dropped $100 to secured the Million Dollar Wiki page for Free Rigntones. It looks like Shoemoney has hit on another winner.
So this morning I was looking at my Nextpimp statistics and low and behold… it had sent almost 180 unique visitors of which 2 purchased a premium membership to the website. Now the Nextpimp Premium membership is $19.95 per 6 months and it auto renews… so if these people stay on board for 2 cycles I already have almost broke even in… 4 days superhot! Now I don’t expect this to happen much but one thing is for sure – I will for sure get my money back.
The Million Dollar Wiki is closing in on 500 page sales. There are many ways to make money from it and I highly recommend everyone gets a page because the site is starting to get into mainstream press. As the site continues to grow it will attract more press and that means more traffic and money for users who take advantage of it. My page on the Million Dollar Wiki has been viewed 6,201 time and has made $250 so far.
The John Chow dot Com Million Dollar Wiki contest is still going on. I am giving away a 24″ wide screen LCD monitor and a signed copy of the best selling book, The 4-Hour Workweek.
A page on the Million Dollar Wiki cost $100. However, by entering JohnChow into the coupon code at checkout, you’ll get $10 off. Not only will this allow you to buy a page for only $90, but you’ll also received five entries into the blog contest. You can get two entries for blogging about it. Good luck.

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...

More people on the Million Dollar Wiki Bandwagon? And I was thinking that the trail was getting cold!
Sounds great!
Shoemoney has me thinking about buying one now lol
yup…you may have a point there….but as long as this big time bloggers like john and shoemoney give them publicity, it will remain hot
In my opinion buying a page there will be good to practice your marketing skills and SEO skills. Think about it, you are not working alone for the traffic you are working with a bunch of page owners there. I have added some SEO recommendations to graham hope he will listen, next article will be some seo tips.
Some SEO recommendations to the Million Dollar wiki page
I think John secretly owns MillionDollar Wiki…. Do you remember when he said he would start a new project but not say it was him behind it…
I think it might be John!
I think John started a blog not website?
Not. Graham is a real person and really owns it.
there is no way john chow own the milliondollarwiki, if so then he would put many text link in this blog and a huge banner on top
wow never thought about it you know. But I can guess that he was not reffering about a “Website” but a blog, and I think which one can be. The same style post (I can be wrong).
People still buy pages? And I was under the impression that it was almost dead! Well JC, looks like you pulled off yet another winner – roping in Shoe is the icing
Apparently, people are making money off of it….so….
A $100 spend for 15 years is hardly a big gamble! It does refer traffic and with Shoe on board that’s bound to be yet more exposure for them and all of us with pages.
Yea, it’s not a big investment. A lot of SEO ‘get ranking fast’ schemes tout buying tons of domains at 9 bucks a pop and building links and hours upon hours of work for negligable gains sometimes.
Im not personally a fan of the wiki, as more people jump on, the site will grow bigger, but the way the site is laid out is going to mean really shitty pagerank for all wiki pages.
I don’t think that is will be dead soon. Graham is doing a great job with press and I am sure the bigger press will metion his site. When this happen then the competition begins with the pages. Then hopefully after a year they will be ranked well if Graham puts his efforts on it and not doing what one million dollar site (or page, whatever) did.
Great move. Lets see the new money maker of shoemoney. The ringtone sites can really make some money if they are advertised the way it should. But just only from website the income would not be that big. Some TV ad can help the income bounce
He’s already made some money off the site in his first four days…he posted about it on his blog.
I see demand is going strong with 80 pages being sold today!
Yeah, this third post I have read about it on a major blog in two days. It is getting lots of buzz right now!
Waiting…you buy a page like Shomoney did
I’ve been very happy with my “Podcast” page on MDW. In fact, if you’d like to hear from Graham Langdon, the 21-year-old student behind the Web site, download an interview here http://tinyurl.com/yq22o7 or stream episode #69 of the Working Podcast at http://www.jobacle.com
He’ll give you more reasons to buy a page!
Was JC.com down for a few minutes today? It gave me a database connection failure error and asked me to report at the WP support forum – are you working for WP now John?
Also, I tried commenting just before and after the problem and the page would just refresh without displaying anything in the comments – which is why I have similar comments as the first and third, if anyone’s wondering
Oh damn,
I thought Shoemoney bought the Million Dollar Wiki, but then I reread it and found out he just bought a page.
Haha, I don’t see Shoe shelling out the money to buy the million dollar wiki anytime soon.
I just bought 3 pages. Hopefully I can break even on the $270. Thanks for the coupon code John!
Well which pages did you buy?
Sound tempting.
I just Million Dollar Wiki blog. Over 80 pages sold today.
He made $8000 in one day!
Maybe he needs more massive ReviewMe ads on sites like Johns
I posted this on Shoemoney’s blog
“I’ve got http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/united_kingdom and bought http://www.milliondollarwiki.co.uk to map onto it.
One google adsesne block has made me $120.”
You might want to watch your capitalization when you link to that wiki address. The anchor URL is fine but the wiki program had trouble with the URL it links to.
Do you actually have that? :O
I’ll have to look into buying one of those pages. I hope there are still some good pages left!
I just bought a page.
No creditcard and paypal: 0$
damn
free ringtones eh? Some kind of niche?
It’s Shoemoney’s niche, and he makes a LOT of money doing it.
I bought some keywords. I’m biting my nails hoping the words I bought are going to be available by the time they get to my orders. It’s too bad they don’t secure the order for you at the time of payment. That’d be a rather trivial programming task I would think since payment processors can send confirmation data back to the server.
Hey John, commenting still doesn’t work in FireFox.
Yes it does work
Not for me. I have to use Safari. It doesn’t work in IE for me either. I believe it works for you, but I can’t imagine why you can comment in FF but I can’t.
I don’t get exactly how pages are getting traffic.
People browsing the site, SE’s, what?
Buzz generated from bloggers and now, mainstream press.
and that’s the best thing Graham should do. Mainstream press will be great for every page owner.
Well if you already have an established audience, of course the million dollar wiki is perfect.
I am going to buy one page soooon. Oh really was it 180 visitors in 6 days. Its a good deal i guess
I bought a Million Dollar wiki page “custom jewelry” but I didn’t use the coupon code because it said it required google checkout and I use paypal.
Can I still get the 5 entries because I learned about it from your blog.
I bought 4 names!
I wonder how much traffic the search term “make money online wiki”
I am now the proud owner of a page on MDW as well. I would say the name, but I will have to wait until it’s official.
I am a true sucker. After reading this post and shoemoney’s post, I went and signed up. I figured out how to add adsense as well. You can do analytics as well (or any JS) using an IFrame, but I won’t bother. I signed up for : http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/Online_Marketing and http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/Search_Engine_Marketing
I’ll sell each for $50! Just kidding. You can’t sell your pages. But that’s fine; that just means we have to mount a serious publicity campaign and get the word out about million dollar wiki!
I have the Money page on MDW http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/Money you can go there and see how others are making money on the page. Plus a new competition coming soon on that page so stayed tuned.
My opinions of the Million Dollar Wiki:
http://www.buildwebsuccess.com/blog/13-so-what-about-that-million-dollar-wiki-thing
There’s some good info in there for those considering getting involved.
I’ve gone around in circles thinking about this over John’s last few posts about MDW and I just can’t find a real downside to ponying up the $90. Either that or I’ve been verbally beaten into submission
You win John Chow! I’ve used that coupon of yours and am now the owner of http://www.milliondollarwiki.com/Blog_Advertising .
Really, $90 for 15 years or so seems pretty hard to beat. Each page has so many possibilities. I’m a bit concerned that the system can’t really sustain 10,000 pages because you don’t have the same type of interlinking that you do in Wikipedia. Each page is typically a closed system. Many pages will get buried. A great little forum has sprung up for it and so I’m sure the savviest “pagemasters” will swap links to keep some of the traffic swirling around a bit.
I’m doing an experiment to see if this works WITHOUT pushing or advertising. Thats the true test of a good ROI for me :

Shit I just bought 1 page and forgot to put there this code… Can I get those entries? I know that those $10 is away but entries would be good.
Now wait for the keyword “Million dollar wiki” to be searched like hell
Hope to get high ranks with this keyword
