Hey, I Could Use a New Monitor

Fellow Vancouverite John Chow, is by all means a marketing and self promotion genius. I stumbled upon his blog a couple of months ago and became fascinated by the fact that he reports to be making over $10,000 a month from simply blogging about - wait for it - how to make money by blogging.

Now I have no idea how he manages to maintain such a legion of followers looking to get rich quick, but it’s not uncommon to see 60-70 comments on one of his posts. Nonetheless, he’s got a great mind and plenty of ideas to push traffic to his site and create new ways to monetize the world of blogging.

So How Does A Monitor Fit Into This?

One way that John drives people to his site - the way you’ll probably go over there right now, if you haven’t already - is to hold a contest. His contests are usually simple trades - do something for him and he’ll give you a chance to get something back in return.

His latest escapade involves what he terms a “blog contest“, and is sponsored by the MillionDollarWiki. If you’ve got a website or some cash it’s easy to enter, and he lays out the full contest details here.

The gist of it is that if you buy a page on the MillionDollarWiki at $100, he’ll give you 5 entires. If you use his coupon code, the wiki page will cost $90. Alternatively, you can write a post on your own website, and he’ll give you two entires. Hence, the reason you’re reading this.

The Loot

So, what’s the prize? John’s giving away a a 24″ wide screen LCD monitor and a signed copy of the best selling book, The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss.

John, consider this my 2 entries.
