Top Affiliate Challenge Episode 3 Spoiler

Friday, July 04, 2008

I caught a glimpse of Episode 3 which is still being leaked.  Here is a recap for those of you who should miss it.

Day 2 Earnings…

John Chow’s Team: $220.40
Ken’s Team: $791.63
Shoemoney Team: -7.00 (yes that is a negative)

Shoe Money calls in a favor and gets $2,000 to spend on PPC for the next challenge.

TAC votes off Ian Fernando because he doesn’t like spending his own money to win (what a concept). But, then Monica decides to not vote anyone off, forcing him to stay on.

John Chow suggests leveraging your own network (aka spamming your friends) to raise capital without having any start up budget.

Jonathan Van Clute admits to spending his own money to drive large amounts of targeted traffic to their contest sites. In a egotistical rant he brags about his ability to be net profitable. The show producers kindly show us the figures on the screen, but leave one important component out… I’ll fill in the gaps for you.

Jonathan spent $2-3 CPM on 200,000 targeted leads

at the low end that is $200 spent (which they show)

at the high end that is $300 spent…

John Chow’s team brought in $220.40. Van Clute asked you to do the Math, now I’m going to ask you to connect A to B.  If Van Clute spent $200-300 and his team brought in $220.40, then his net profit was $20.40 at best and -79.60 at the least. Definitely not anything to write home about.
