Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
So as was posted yesterday, the winner on Friday night was too close to call, but the results are in! At 7:28 PM, Amin Taheri was sittin on $1002.50 while the 2nd place guy, Matt Marcin was at $983.65. Really close! The amazing part was, Matt started his campaign less than 24 hours earlier and came from behind to almost win the whole thing.
Geoff PM’d Nickycakes when Matt signed up to say that Matt was claiming to be able to win it even though the leader was already at around $750 in commissions. The Cakes was a little skeptical, but the guy almost pulled it off.
So, of course Amin will have his XBox 360 sent out to him as soon as he sends Nickycakes his address. The dude lives in England so it’ll prolly take a week to arrive or whatever.
But, because the race was so close, and because Matt put in such a dramatic effort to win at the end, Advaliant felt like it was only fair to put up the cash for a 2nd Xbox 360 and send it to him. They’re keepin it real as usual.
Overall the contest was awesome. The turnout was great, and there were probably about 100 participants total. A few guys sent messages to Nickycakes saying that even though they didn’t win, they were glad they had tried because they were able to get good profitable campaigns going. 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.
Anyway, thanks for playing everyone, and enjoy working with one of Nickycakes’ favorite networks. And thanks again to Advaliant for fronting the 2nd xbox for the #2 guy!
It was a great contest Cakes. I’m real happy for Matt, he came up behind me fast. We were actually exchanging earnings stats on the irc channel up until I hit the $1K. I’ll admit, the guy had my heart racing
Definitely a great contest. Had a great time competing and getting to meet some new people! Was fun to talk to Amin and others in IRC too! Congrats Amin for winning. Maybe next time I can kick your ass
Congrats guys. I would school you in COD4 put i’m on the ps3 lol.
Nice one, I thought this was going to be the kick in the butt to get me going with my affilaite campaign but alas I sit on my butt reading about other people making money yet again.
Nickycakes we need Matt Marcin to explain just how he ‘turbo charged’ his campaign to achieve such results in such a sort period of time.
Maybe he could do a guest post?
i think he actually did on his blog, but i’ll ask him to guest post anyway
You watched that movie “21″, didn’t you?
nah haven’t seen it yet.
The whole first part of the movie was explaining what the phrase “Winner winner chicken dinner” meant
