So if you register for our RSS via email, Twitter and follow, create a post and video, you can be awarded 90 tickets. That means that if there are 10 000 tickets registered all together then your odds of winning a prize would be 90x’s greater then someone who just registers :)

Start of IMPORTANT UPDATE ADDED Saturday May 17th –>

BIG UPDATE –> Well here is what you do not know… We are also going to be doing weekly live webinars (that we are calling “CowCasts”) with occasional guest speakers, where we are going to be talking about all that was done through out that week of the contest, review each lesson we posted and will open it up to Q&A

But there is a catch –> Do not worry, we are not putting you to work or anything but each one of these CowCasts are going to be limited seating and the details of the calls are going to be sent out via our email to our list of RSS subscribers who subscribed via email only. Also these “CowCasts” are going to be recorded and only made available to people who are subscribed to our RSS feed via email. Now we need to make clear that these recordings will not be made available right away, there will be about a 72 hour turn around time on them.

So bottom line… you better subscribe to our SPAM FREE RSS Feed via email now to get in on the action.

<– End of IMPORTANT UPDATE ADDED Saturday May 17th

Rules of the John Cow vs Garry Conn Cowpetition…

  • Starts Monday May 19th
  • Sites will be listed on SitePoint on Wednesday June 18th
  • Winner of contest will be decided by which site generates the highest sale
  • Blogs must be on a brand new domain
  • Blogs must be 100% original work
  • Blogs must not be a premade or bought and put on a new domain
  • Blogs will be listed on SitePoint with full disclosure of who bought them and for how much
  • Listing will be 100% handled by sitepoint (for fair third party listing)

We already stated in an earlier post that after we win 100% of the proceeds are going to go to World Vision and we will record the transaction so you can all see for yourselves that we are following through on that promise.

We are going to be fully disclosing all the details of this cowtest… how we decided on a market, how we planned out the blog, researched, built and promoted it. You will see first hand exactly how to do this for yourself. We are actually crazy for doing this as people pay 1000’s of dollars for this type of info… but our readers deserve the best :)

Disclosure –> We are making it clear right now that there are paid tools that we use that you will need to get if you want to do what we are going to share, so please don’t complain about that. We are not going to use this to pimp tools we do not use… but we are going to show you the tools we do use and most important the why and how we use them

Also, we are not making any guarantees to anyone about the success you will achieve following what we are going to show you… we are just showing you what we are doing. The good thing to know is we DESPISE theory in our teachings and stick to only proven facts… so you are going to learn what we “KNOW” is proven to work.. not what we think “should” work.

I see you advertise for Rich Jerk. They took my money and I was never able to access anything, the tickets were all auto replies, they never fixed my problem and I waisted my money. The customer service is a bunch of auto replies HOWEVER they will call you to sell you some more crap that will amount to nothing more I’m betting.

Looks like Web 2.0 and social bookmarking have now gone on steroids.

Gone are the days of so called “gurus” offerind Lemons, now’s the time to walk the talk and deliver results.

Definitely worth the effort to win….

 
2008-05-14 21:08:36

Great idea! We were just starting to build blogs to try to sell as well. Now we can follow your exploits and learn from you. I did a post on your contest, a Twit and signed up - how do I get my credits?

Good luck in the contest!

Thanks for the great contest and insight into what you’ll be doing over the next few months. It’s great to see inside and very commendable that you’re donating the proceeds to World Vision. They’re a great organization that does a lot of AWESOME work all over the world. Are you planning to donate to any specific region or just to them and let them use it where it’s most needed at the time?
