Race to 1k!

April 22, 2008 – 1:45 am

Alright, here is a recent contest I participated in this week. Check out the contest details that NickyCakes posted on his blog. Basically the rules where:

  • First to earn 1k under NickyCakes referral link won an Xbox 360.

Well, let me tell you something. I have absolutely no experience in affiliate marketing, I never earned a penny before, until the day NickyCakes started the contest. I applied at Advaliant , got accepted, and started thinking of where I could make one thousand dollars…

On the 21st Nickycakes announced the winners, it was a close race between Amin and Matt . Amin was the finally crowned winner, with Matt close at his heals.

Then, out of the 100 or so contestants who participated, in 3rd place, surprisingly comes, Aaron (me). Yes! The person with absolutely no experience in Affiliate Marketing, got 3rd place out of about 100!

Nickycakes mentions me in his post announcing the winner.

“One dude (who ended up being 3rd place) was actually running his first affiliate campaign ever, is in high school, and is making close to $200 a day profit. If Cakes was making $200 a day on the intraweb in HS, he’d be rollin up to prom in the stretch escalade with spinners. “

Yes, thats me. I got the ball rolling with Cake’s contest. And am now earning more or less $150 a day. I may post up how I did it in a future post, but trust me, its much more challenging to figure out your own techniques. That way you can feel better about that cash.

Thanks for the contest Nickycakes. Maybe I will have to host a contest here on WebDevKing.com in the near future.
