Rules for the $10,000 Internet Marketing Competition and $10,000 Kicker!

$10,000 cash prize to the Winner and a $10,000 cash prize to the affiliate that refers the Winner!

1. There are no rules.  Just kidding.  Had to do it.

Rules:

1. There must be at least 25 unique member entries for contest to be valid

2. Submissions will be a 5-9 minute YouTube Video entitled "My Niche Marketing Idea With The Internet Time Machine".

3. First part of the video must show some idea, trend, keyword you got from the ITM, this must be shown in the video.  (Now, since you can put almost any keyword into the filter button and get a results, or any synonym into the filter and search, almost any idea goes).  The winner must be a member of the Internet Time Machine at some level , even ($5) starter level.  The winner must be a current member in good standing. (I.E. bought last year, but cancelled ...etc)

Second part of the video will show how you monetized the idea, built a list, got great PR, etc. 

Bonus points will be given if you can show how you used NowRelevant.com in some way (PPC program) to get leads, sales, traffic, whatever.

Third part of the video summarizes hours spent, time spent, and results. 

Fourth part of the video, in the last minute, summarize why we should pick you as a winner.

Contest starts May 20, 2010 and goes for 120 days.  Why so long?  Not everyone is a PPC person, lots of people need time for organic results to reflect posts, or even develop a product like an ebook and get a site online.

The one who makes the most money isn't necessarily the winner.  Entries will be judged on creativity, planning, and idea as well.  Just because someone makes $100k doesn't mean they would win out over a person making $5,000 or a person creating a list of 4,000 buyers.  So, a person with a $100 budget total could win.

Entries will be judged by Anik Singal, Internet Marketer Mike Zenga, Internet Marketer Mike Reardon, and Curt Dalton.  This will enable the $10,000 affiliate reward part of the contest from getting in the way of judging.  We will take all the entries and a narrow them down to 5.  The final 5 will be announced in 120 days and the a final winner will be selected.

One person can enter up to 2 times, or two different videos.

Good Luck!
