Affiliate Summit West Poker Donations
So many people have been doing so many nice things for me lately that it seems all I have time to blog about are thankyou’s!
If you read this and contact me immediately, you may still be able to get in on the donations.
I sent out an e-mail yesterday to my core group and a bunch of people kicked in bigtime.
Here is the deal, Missy Ward was talking to Shoemoney about a fund raiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation during Affiliate Summit West. Jeremy told Missy about my legendary poker tournaments.
Missy contacted me and I have been her assistant on this the last month getting it set up. I think she is just using me as eye candy!
None of this is technically official, but I am o.k. talking about it now to try to squeeze a few more prizes out of you! LOL
We just found out that if we want to have prizes, we basically need to give the list of prizes to the RIO, like tonight! but I bet I can sneak a few more in if we are fast!
ALL of the money in the buy in is going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, except for the cut the Rio is taking to run the tourney. By the way the awesome guy we have been working with, Jack Eifel, who runs the poker room at the Rio, also runs the World Series of Poker! A seriously cool contact!
It is my job to drum up some bad ass prizes for the winners, to make the pot sweet.
The following is the list of prizes people kicked in with zero notice!
By the way, I am also taking sponsors for my usual fun stuff in Vegas! Contact me if you want in. I am working on something that will as usual be legendary! We already got a handful of those in support of fun for all of us who have stepped up (Thank you Danny and Neil!)
Here is the list of prizes we have so far for the poker tournament. If you want to be on this list, e-mail me immediately!!! at dk (at) purposeinc.com

Personally my handfull of bacon explosion, on the way out to go surfing was my highlight moment of thinktank as I chomped!
Mr Web Guru, Robert Wright, a brilliant SEO, is donating 1 hour of SEO consulting services which is normally $600.
One of my absolute favorite guys in our industry, Jeremy Hermanns is giving an Executive Membership to his SEO intelligence, which he charges $469. I have used this and it really picks your site apart SEO wise, and gives great insight!

Together, these deliver a massive catalyst to the online display advertising marketplace. We call it, Display Advertising Optimized.
Also, for those who understand and need it, Impact Engine is kicking in 5,000,000 3rd Party Rich Media ad impression run for any rich media display ad campaign (the advertiser has to already have bought the ad impressions and he will serve the display media).

Brian La France, a Purpose Inc fan and supporter from way, way back in the early days, is going to roll up his sleeves and get in their one on one with you and doing 2 hours of SEO consulting. This would normally be $1,000. Brian is a guy who I would trust with a million dollars in cash, just a smart, fine, hard working SEO.
Ariel Ozick is willing to spend 2 hours with one of the winners doing e-commerce link building consulting.
Another one of my long time supporters, who literally puts their money where our mouths are, Chipotle, is giving us 100 certificates, each one of them good for a burrito which can feed a small family!

Sweeeet Chipotle certificate ftw! At least I beat out 2/3 of the tourney…next one it’ll be 99/100!
ReplyI feel like with that huge amount of really awesome prizes, everyone will win something. I like the gift certificates to the shopping places. Shop7.com is my favorite. Wish I could have won that one! And the Chipotle certificates, always genius. Who doesn’t want a free Chipotle burrito?
