"A Big Dog is just a Little Dog who won’t stop barking
until he gets the bone!"Our "Dog Days of Summer" Contest
is Heating Up!Twenty one days into the month and our hot, new August contest is looking VERY interesting! There's a whole lot of "jockeying around" goin' on!!!
To bring those several hundred of you "new dogs" up to speed on the contest, what we set out to do was to give EVERYBODY a shot at making some nice extra cash….
To sorta celebrate the Dog Days of Summer we are gonna be running a contest for the entire month of August. Here’s how it works…The Big Dog among you who has the most "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook sales for the month of August will win a cool
FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS
and will be officially crowned the Leader of the Pack, the Top Gun, the Marketer Before Whom All Others Tremble In Awe, Guru of Guru’s, and (for those Italians among you) Capo di Tutti Capi
The number two guy or gal will receive
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS.
Third place earns $125.00
Fourth Place is good for $75.00, and
fifth place earns you $50.00!BUT!…when I first decided to have this contest, I KNEW there would be a problem. We’ve got folks (like Brian "The Sheriff" Garvin, and this new hot-shot Tom "The Admiral" Bell) who are ALWAYS at the top. I knew nobody would be motivated to really hussle for this contest if they thought that the established Big Guns would automatically snatch up the prizes.
So I came up with this idea…
Any of you play golf? Then you’re familiar with the term "handicap." The term refers to a "handicap" that is imposed on better players to sorta "level the playing field" and let less advanced players have a chance. What I wanted to do was establish
a contest that would give even a brand new "newbie" the same chance at the big bucks as our more established power players.So here’s the "handicap" for the Dog Days of Summer Contest
I am going to take your total ebook sales for the Month of July and deduct it from your total ebook sales for the month of August. The remainder is what will determine your placing in the contest! In other words, let’s say you had 100 sales in July, and you end up with 110 sales in August. We subtract 100 from 110, leaving you with 10 sales that count for the August contest. By the same token, let’s say you’re just starting out with the Big Dogs and in July you didn’t have ANY sales. In August, however, you end up with 11 sales. If we subtract 0 from 11, that leaves you with 11 "contest-qualifying-sales." YOU WOULD PLACE HIGHER THAN THAT PERSON WHO HAD 110 SALES IN AUGUST!!!
Now THAT, fellow dogs, levels the playing field, and gives EVERYBODY a shot at the cash!
The contest started officially on August 1, will end at midnight on August 31, and the final arbiter of sales will be ClickBank statistics – plain and simple. Even you new folks and you folks who haven’t placed at the top in the past now have a chance to score BIG in this contest! And you Top Dogs – you folks that are consistently in the top ten - now you have a REAL chance to strut your stuff! Show everybody what you’re made of! Show us that "the steeper the mountain, the tougher the man!"
But first, fellow dogs, before we see how the contest stats are shaping up, let’s salute the top ten Big Dogs in
TOTAL sales for the month…First of all, in the number one spot is "The Admiral." Relatively new to the Big Dogs team,
Tom Bell scores big with 111 "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook sales for the first 21 days of August.Following closely behind with 79 sales so far, is
Ben Chapi, who is celebrating his first month with the Dogs! Welcome to the team, Ben!Third place belongs to
Alan Yap with 63 sales. "The Sheriff" Garvin locks in fourth place with 57 sales, and Earl Mason holds the current number five spot with 55 sales.Sixth place goes to
Rene Knops with 52 sales. With 29 total sales, "Hucleberry" Finn locks in seventh place. Ken McVay, who is REALLY coming alive this month, currently owns eighth place with his 22 sales., with Connie Allen in ninth place with 20 ebook sales. Rounding out the top ten in total ebook sales is Frank Sanders, with 19 sales.Congrats to all of you! You’re doing a TERRIFIC job in what is supposed to be the slowest month of the year!
And now we come to the top placers so far in the Dog Days of Summer Contest!
Let’s see what happens when we apply the "handicap" formula and DEDUCT the previous month’s sales from everyone’s totals!
As you can see, it’s gonna be a VERY interesting month!!!…
First Place – The $500.00 Prize!
Ben Chapi has a HUGE lead with his 79 NET sales!So far (but remember, the month is just two thirds over!) newcomer
Second Place - The $250.00 Prize!
Knocked out of first place by Ben - "new kid on the block" - Chapi, Alan Yap now holds spot number two with 61 NET sales!
Third Place - The $125.00 Prize!
Pete Maritz maintains his third place slot with 14 net sales!
Fourth Place – The $75.00 Prize!
Ken McVay and Bob Truesdale share the number four spot with 13 net sales each!
Fifth Place – The $50.00 Prize!
Lorrin Lee earns the number five position with 12 net sales!!
I think it’s safe to say, fellow dogs, that the contest is doing what it was designed to do – to give EVERYBODY a shot at winning! You’ll notice a lot of NEW names in the above list. In fact, of the nine contest qualifiers, FIVE have just joined the Big Dogs! And because of the "handicapping".....
...you don’t need BIG numbers to win!
In fact if we extend the chart to the top TEN positions in NET sales, we find a FOUR-WAY TIE for sixth place -
Mark Jackson, Fermin Suero, Jack Mason, and Rupinder Azrot all have 10 NET sales! Ray Manari, with 9 net sales, is in the number seven position. Rene Knops and Mike Wilson, with 8 net sales each, share the number eight spot. The number nine spot belongs to John Donnelly and his 7 sales. And tenth place is shared between Steve Laycock and John Hockenberry, with just 5 sales each!Obviously, sports fans, it's still ANYBODY'S ballgame! With a full ten days left in the contest, even someone who has just come on board TODAY has a real chance to be in the money
by the end of the month!
