August 27th, 2007Another Chance at $500 From the Cash Cow
What would you do if you won $500? That’s the question being asked by the folks over at John Cow right now, where they always show us how we could be making money online.
Following up with a similar contest held last month, John Cow has worked something out with their web hosting provider, Micfo.com, to offer yet another contest with a high cash payout. What’s great about this type of contest is that the payment is in cash, rather than some electronic voucher that can only be used at a particular retailer.
I’m not sure what I would do if I won. I would likely buy something nice for my wife, or perhaps take her family out for a great dinner … perhaps both. I’ve been accepted as a member of their family, and everyone has been genuinely welcoming and accepting, so this would be a great opportunity to say “thank you” while also earning brownie points 
If anything was left over, I would put the rest into a “new web host” fund. My provider has been alright for the last few days, but I’ve become quite tired of the consistent downtimes over the last few months. Perhaps I could jump ship to Micfo when my contract is up for renewal 
Head over to John Cow’s $500 Cash Giveaway and write about it on your own blog. Who knows, perhaps you’ll be the next person to make some moooney from The Cow.
Easy. I would go to Elance.com and have someone make a small, static website for me, design, content, the works. Throw some ads on it, get my money back in a year (hopefully sooner) and use profits after that to save another $500 to do it again, and again, and again.
After about 5 years, I’d buy my wife something nice, and maybe take her family out for a great dinner. If I had enough left over, I’d buy an “attic lift”.
Hmm … that’s just crazy enough it might work
Your wife is lucky she is married to you and not Nick!
Seriously, that is so wonderful that you feel like you belong. So many people hate their in-laws and it causes so many problems.
Thanks, Bloggrrl. I’m happy that Reiko married me, too. Life would be so different otherwise….
I was thinking about saying something about Nick spending the money on a static site rather than doing something nice for his wife, but considering how they’re a bit too busy with the little one to really take a night off, it probably makes sense
Ah, but my wife gets all my money anyway, so either way she wins!
Yeah, but it’s the thought that counts
