John Chow, the blogger that he is, is holding a writing contest of his own to hand out an extra ticket to Affiliate Summit. Here is my entry in response to this post of his.
John Chow,
What would I do with that $1500 dollar ticket to Affiliate Summit? I would get a real education, that is what I would get out of this ticket. I could be learning about the world of website affiliates at this conference. I could be networking with CEOs and other bloggers like myself. I could expand my horizons into that which is internet marketing. Unfortunately, Affiliate Summit is not where I’d be getting this real education.
How would I get that real education you ask? Well, first…
I would sell that ticket on Ebay. There must be some other sucker willing to buy that thing. To bad for him (or her), everything said, spoken, written, photographed and taped at this meeting will be online within one week after Affiliate Summit. I will be able to watch this all for free, so why not sell the ticket for an extra weeks wait. This is in no offense to you John, but bloggers should not have to be paying this much to hear you repeat what you have already said on your own blog.
Anyways, I would sell that ticket, yes I would, and apply that money towards my college degree in marketing. That is how what I would gain from my experience with Affiliate Summit. I would be supported, by you, in finishing an educational goal.
I hope you may still consider me for the running in this contest, Mr. Chow. The ticket would really help a student in need. I live off of student loans, and cannot work legally in the country I study in (Thailand). A quick 1500 bucks minus Ebay fees would be a blessing, and the thank yous you would receive from me would fill your mail box daily. So help a student out, Johny. Send someone who bought a ticket from me on Ebay to Affiliate Summit!
Thank you and Sincerely,
Justin Dupre
Pretty good, right? I think I have a really good chance of winning this thing!

Good luck! Let’s see if honesty is the best policy!

Very good Justin - it would be nice to have the cash to spend on your education.
Plus, you are probably already aware of this, but you will often learn more by watching what an affiliate marketer does than from what he says.
You would miss out on the networking opportunities if you didn’t attend though. However, you’d also save on not having to fork out for airfare or hotel.
Good luck with the ebay auction if you win.

Justin, how’s you?
did you notice something unusual lately on john chow’s blog?? his number of subscribers have gone below to 10k figures from 14K figures?

You know what, Jack, I did see that. I wonder if it has been because of the posts he has had lately. All he has been doing is blogging on these crap conventions. Honestly, I don’t want to read about that. It has been a long time since I saw a useful post from him.

It seems, he read my words and now there is his another post, why his subscription number decreased
