Top Affiliate Challenge Update

written by John Chow on May 4th, 2008

The Top Affiliate Challenge is the Internet’s first real-time reality program. Over a two week period, 12 contestants will be divided into three teams. Each team will be led by either myself, Shoemoney or Ken McArthur. The team with the least earnings each day will lose one member. The last contestant standing will be the Top Affiliate winner.

A New Car for the Winner

In addition to getting a big wad of cash, the winner of the Top Affiliate Challenge will be getting a brand new 2008 Jeep Patriot SUV. Chrysler is also going to provide each team on Top Affiliate Challenge a minivan to shuttle them around on the various challenges that will take place. The producers denied my request for a Viper.

Get Those Audition Videos In!

If you haven’t submitted an audition video for the show, you have until June 1 to do so. Contestant selection begins in June and taping will begin in July 1. Selected contestants will be flown all expenses paid to Lincoln, Nebraska for the filming. I know. What the hell is there to do in Lincoln, Nebraska? Ask Shoemoney. He lives there. No wonder he’s bald.

Even though Shoemoney lives there, Nebraska seems random as hell. It probably should’ve been NYC or something.

Good luck!

I think Nebraska was a good idea. It brings attention to a place that needs it. NYC is too congested. The Dot Com lifestyle is about freedom, especially freedom from congested, overworked cities.

I’m already bald so being in Lincoln won’t affect me at all. I’ll have to check this out.

Very interesting. Sounds like some good prizes are lined up already. Should be a lot of fun to follow.

Hmmm… I think I could seriously have a good shot at getting into this show. But just one question, what does the winner actually get??? I see they get a 2 year lease on the Patriot, but it says “cash prize” and I searched all over the website and found no indication of how much, or what other things the winner/contestants may receive.

The winner gets 1/2 the money raised by affiliate sales over the two week contest, plus whatever other prizes put up by sponsors.

Nebraska? How did they came up with that place.

Just curious, why in Pete’s sake do you have to end your post about Shoemoney being bald? Though that made me chucke… :mrgreen:

Goodluck JC

P.S. ProBlogger was not IN?

Since I’m up against Shoe again, I figure I’ll start the smack talk first. :twisted:

Better start thinking of sneaky ways to help your team beat his, like his little RSS exploit.

So what’s so bad about Nabraska? I would love to enter this but after careful consideration and much thought the wife has said no. She’s scared that if I make too much money I’ll be running of with a blonder better looking younger model.

:cool: After watching all those real estate investment reality shows I knew it was only a matter of time til this would manifest. In fact,I used to tell my friends that somebody needs to make a MakeMoneyOnline reality show.

Who do you guys think will be the best team leader?

When you try to sign up at http://www.topaffiliatechallenge.com/signup/ it asks for your state - so when you live outside the US, there’s no way to register :(
