John Chow Cashinator Challenge

Dear John Chow,

I challenge you to a battle at the Marketleverage cashinator in Las Vegas.

Here is my challenge. We both take turns in the cashinator and get as much money as we can. The person who gets the least money has to forfeit their earnings to the winner plus 100$ of their own money to the winner to give away on the winners blog!

So for instance if I get 70$ and you only get 30$ then you give me your 30 plus 100 of your own to give away to a ShoeMoney reader.

Do you accept this challenge Mr Chow?

Btw for those who have not seen the Marketleverage cashinator here is John Chow doing it:

    Hello,
    I must admit that writing good posts is a big deal because when I started my blog bestinternetblogs.com I posted every day for 4 months and was getting great traffic about 200 per day and then I had to stop for work reasons and it just dropped off to 10 visits a day.

    So I think content is king.

    Does anyone else find the laughing annoying in the background in the video?

  9. Brad

  10. mathew

    I bet you a $100 you lose so now you can’t, no need to thank me!

  11. Tushar Dhoot

    I wonder how much money ML gave away in that cashinator thing. Seems like a lot.

  12. wisdom

  13. Tushar Dhoot

  17. jack

  18. ways to earn online

    Another interesting challenge. Like the concept too.

  19. CoolProducts

    Am I allowed to say this?….I think JC is going to win.

  20. BRK

    I’ve never tried the Cashinator before so if you can’t pick it up off the floor or ceiling, I think the best bet would be when it’s over and the money falls down, to lift your shirt up like a blanket and wait for the money to drop. Did you see how much it fell down?

  21. Goran Website

    It will be great to see the outcome of this challenge. Hmmm… I thought John Chow would have responded by now.<> Where are you???

  22. SEI Design Group

    I think this would draw huge crowds. I’m in.

  23. 100kjob

    amusing

  24. River Girl

    Did you miss a zero? Didn’t you mean $1,000? :-)
    Actually this looks like fun. be sure to let us know what time so we can witness the event. My videocam will be ready!

  25. Pangeran

    No reply from John Chow yet?

  26. HSD

    The CASHINATOR is soo cool

  27. Brian Mark

    Looks like I need to update what conferences I go to. SES doesn’t have a cashinator.

    Actually maybe he will post it later on after hes told us what he had for lunch today…lol

    • mrkbsm

      ha, the stakes for the Cashinator are probably less than what John Chow spends on lunch :)

  31. Bryn Youngblut

    I wonder how long it will take to get John Chows reply.

  32. Moneybites

    Ha ha, it is SO on

  33. Amanda (DrifterMama)

    ha! Awesome, I think Mr. Chow will accept this challenge. I must attend a conference soon!

  34. Static

    A nice idea! Looks fun Shoe. :) I think you can open up the bottom of you shirt a bit so all the cash flows in there and when the money is falling at the end, hold onto what’s inside and make another “spoon” with your shirt to grab t he rest. Oh yeah, if you use this trick and manage to get nearly all of them, don’t forget to mention who you heard the tip from. :P

  35. cheap used cars

    Psssst! the secret is to grab all the cash off the ceiling and shove it down your pants. seriously.

    • Nebraska SEO

      You can hear the Market Leverage lady explain in the video that you can pick up money off the floor and you can’t pull it down from off the ceiling.

    • mrkbsm

      Apparently you were the catalyst for them changing their rules :) They couldn’t afford to have you come back!

    • Moneybites

      you can’t do that buddy…

    • cheap used cars

      :-P you guys are no fun.

    • Goran Website

      Well it’s not a secret anymore… Lol!

  36. cheap used cars

    I dominated the cashinator at affiliate summit in vegas. $76 !!!!!!

  37. Craig L

    Remember to lick your arms as the bills will stick to them…:)

  38. Custom T-Shirts

    That looks really fun! My money’s on you Jeremy ;)

  39. web hosting rebates

    this is the coolest challenge I’ve seen in the last weeks. Shoemoney vs JohnChow in the Cashinator :D

  40. stevewrightaz

    Sounds like a throw down. Bring it on!

  41. Bryn Youngblut

    Good idea to stir up more competition. This should be a fun contest to watch once the video is done.

    • Dick

      The idea of allowing earn more money. This is the rule.

  42. Sohail

    Awesome idea, let’s see if John is up for it…

  43. ZK@WebTrafficROI

    How will you reward your reader ?

  44. BigJon

    I bet you can take him no problem.

  45. David

    This sounds like a good idea. Hopefully Chow accepts this so we all can see the end result.

  46. Önder

    At every corner there must be a Cashinator machine:) And we are from your side shoe.

  47. Rebecca

    This is such a great idea! You must take a video with your Flip Mino. I’m sure it will be an awesome challenge, and I can’t wait to find out the results!

  48. Nimic

    Looks like it should be an easy win. You already know his strategy!

    • mrkbsm

      If nothing else, haul out a few plush pandas while John’s in the booth – his focus would change from money to panda-hatred and it would be easy pickings from there!

  49. Blogging Millionaire

    this would be awesome because all of your readers would be willing to receive some free cash for being a reader.

    • Jewellery

      Which is part of the reason that contests are held

  50. mrkbsm

    Those machines are awesome :) The county fair always had one when I was growing up.
    Hopefully he accepts your challenge – I’m sure the ensuing video footage would be hilarious!

    • Custom T-Shirts

      I hope so too, it’ll definitely be an epic competition. A challenge to end all challenges.

  51. wesley

    Get yourself a real big t-shirt.. :)

  52. Dick

    Yes, there is an excellent idea. -)))

  53. Nebraska SEO

    It’s on!

    Way to throw down, Shoe, but maybe Market Leverage should step up and put some bigger bills in the Cashinator. They could get some good attention by promoting this showdown over the next month.

  54. Rekzai

    You get to go in there for free and get free money? :|

  55. wuttrain

    hahaha, it looks fun!!

  56. Craig Farrall

    Wow, that sounds like a great competition, c’mon John Chow accept ;)

  57. James

    The epic webmaster blogging FACE OFF!

  58. Casey Yandle

    Great contest!

    However, I may be mistaken, but doesn’t the blog post say “The person who gets the most money has to forfeit their earnings to the winner..” If you get the most money are you the actual winner? But in your example you had Chow as the lower with $30 and he thus had to give you $130 total to give away.

    You could also just give the “prize money” away to the winner’s fav. charity too. I’m not complaining; just trying to clarify things for me. :)

    • Steven-Sanders

      I think he meant to say least amount of money. Good catch.

    • Chris

      Yeah I was confused about that too.. im thinking typo’s :)

  59. Melvin

    looks cool jeremy… readers can cash out! ;-)

  60. David

    This will be a great challenge! Can’t wait to see the action! Don’t forget to video it!

  61. Rich

    ahhhhhhhhh i love a good challege!

    May the best man win!

  62. Christian Affiliate Marketing

    Is there something missing from this post? I don’t see him doing anything.

    • Melvin

      i think chow has done it last month if im not mistaken.. any link?

  63. Hustle Strategy

    Sounds like a good challenge. Gotta love internet marketing and cross promotion.

    • Moneybites

      Yup, mutually beneficial promotion, good call..

    • Jewellery

      Yeah well, when you find someone with a large blog as yours – you might as well boost your readership and do cross promotions ;)

  64. Steven-Sanders

    Awesome challenge! This will be very interesting. I hope we get to see video of this challenge.

    • Steven-Sanders

      BTW, I don’t see the link to see John Chow doing it.

      • Christian

        Did you forget to add the link?

      • Goran Website

        Here’s the link: John Chow

      • Jewellery

        John Chow’s blog looks so bad in IE7

    • BM

      I hope you got more than JC’s first attempt on that Cashinator

    • Goran Website

      I’m surprised that John Chow hasn’t responded yet. Not even on his blog.
