Who Should We Pick for the Final 2 Contestants?
- Comments: 119
- Written on: June 16th, 2008
Today the producers and I need to pick the final 2 Top Affiliate Challenge contestants from the top 25% of all of the video auditions submitted for the show.
All three of us have diferent opinions, anddifferent names we would like to see on the show. There is also a massive email campaign going on for Eric Green the “DigitalGanster” and Gaj Subudhi.
I have neen receiving email from all over the world for these 2 for the better part of 2 days now. I can only wonder why they didn’t ask these people to vote for them while the voting was still open.
Nevertheless, there are LOTS of very qualified and very entertaining people to choose from in the Top 25%. Originally we were planning on using these wild card picks to balance our cast. For example, if we had a bunch of veterans, we would bring in some newbies and visa versa. We are a little heavy on men, but that is also representative of the industry.
Some people think we should pick a couple women regardless of other factors to help gender balance the show. Others think we should bring on the two people who would be the best earners in our opinion because that is what the show is about. One of the producers has mentioned that by picking one of the more controversial contestants we would increase viewership. As you can see, there are a lot of factors to consider.
Who do you think we should pick? Who would you pick if you were in our shoes? The auditions are no longer up on the Top Affiliate Challenge website, but you can view the videos in my Revver account here.
What faces would make you watch the show every day?

I think you should big the comical small guy who had shoemoney and john chow in his try out video. he must have done a realy good job with getting jeremy and john on camera to try to get his votes up so fast!
either way looking forward to the results!
You know what Thor, at this stage of the game I don’t think it would be fair to pick someone who did not post in the forums yesterday like you asked.
If people were truly interested in the show they would of taken a few minuets to do what you asked, it did not take long and getting a bunch of people to email the producer was not one of the things you asked us to do. I could of done the same thing myself, and I don’t think it should be a scramble at this point either. A post was made twice yesterday of what we had to do – 3 people responded which would tell me, the others lost interest or only wanted to be on the show to say they were on a show and don’t have the drive to fight for what they want….is that the type of people who should get on the show anyways?
Other then myself, the digital gangster would be my two choices based on the responses given yesterday.
I understand that you are all in a bad spot right now, but fair is fair anyway you slice it
Yes, that is true Collin. But some people did report problems with the forum yesterday and as a stop-gap we asked them to email us their paragraphs. Many of them did, but not all.
Sorry if I sound a bit aggressive Thor, but you have to give me credit for fighting in what I believe in.
And don’t you think, one Poop eater in the show is enough? lol
I am a plumber by trade so I can give you some good poop stories……lmao
I just wanted to take the time to say I appreciate each and every one of you. Each day we have to decide what we are going to put into our businesses. For many of you your online business is a part time venture and you work full time with families and many responsibilities. Isn’t it cool having an opportunity to work
full time on our jobs but part-time on our fortunes.
Today I want to share with you something on my heart which was inspired by a quote in the movie Braveheart. The quote goes like this “Men & Women don’t follow titles they follow courage”. That simple statement is profound to me.
In my opinion courage it’s one of the number one ingredients in your journey to achieving your dreams. Especially in this world because you will be tested beyond measure. In some cases you might be ridiculed by family, friends, and love ones. Telling you that you are chasing an empty and useless dream. It will take great courage to overcome that constant pounding you will receive from all corners.
Many people also get hung up in titles. Personally I don’t look at titles I look for a person’s courage in the line of fire. After over a
year online I have experienced my share of arrows and disappoint. I have been slammed on my head so many times I see stars constantly but if you except that it’s part of the process and journey you can get past it very quickly and keep on working.
In my opinion in this environment your efforts are a reflection of your courage. If you find yourself complaining a lot, not taking action,
shutting down when someone says you’ve lost your mind for doing all this hen you need to find a way to get some courage. You need to do a check up from the neck up and figure out your “Why” and establish a base of courage.
Think about this quote for a second:
Socrates: Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what’s good for you. They don’t want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs.
I personally got sick and tired of everyone telling me what I should do and what was good for me. I got tired of accepting their answers and I decided I was going to find my own. I put on an armor of courage and entered the jungle and haven’t look backed since. Go out and find your answers for yourself and put on your armor of courage everyday and fight for your answers….

Eric Green AKA
The Digital Gangster
Personally I think Collin should be in for sure. Not only does he want it real bad, but for all the right reasons.
I’ve watched him practically from his start and he is really building himself well
Hi Thor … Greetings from Europe and Scandinavia. You ask: “I can only wonder why they didn’t ask these people to vote for them while the voting was still open”.
Regarding ERIC GREEN “The Digital Gangster” that in my opinion absolutely is the best in all kind of ways compared to what I have seen in the #10 – he is a very HUMBLE man ….
But we have NEVER seen such an actiontaker and STRATEGIST AFFILIATEWISE before both online and offline.
I can easy say that after 24 years in NWM and hundreds of Affiliate Programs !
When DG is on your show you will attract the entire world. And nobody can PROMOTE Eric Green and your show like HIS TRUE FRIENDS !
US !!
Personally I have 14 mill. double opt-in NWM Leads to promote Eric Green when he is on the show.
Google Adwords Campaigns etc. etc, is EASY to put up.
Have a nice day,

Hello Thor and company,
After reading your words on who to pick for the show and the factors that will motivate you I had a few thoughts on the matter and decided to give my feelings on the question stated.
First: as a expert in crowd control and ego management (40 years in music business)
you should consider a interesting person with the qualities of a showman a leave them wanting more kinda person after all this is a show not prayer meeting.
Second: the choice should not be based opon views or percentiles but should take into consideration of how “Joe Public” see’s
the show after all we as marketers are and should be the adventure seekers the people of note that that it factor and the ones people want to follow.
Third: Being a free thinker and a person who always looks for the thing or personality who is a little strange but has a great message and is a natural leader lets be honest we all want to be stars so we need to pick the ones who display those qualities.
Lastly: For myself greatness is not defined by how flashy you are but rather by how others are motivated by your natural self
in my life I can named each time someone or something affected me positively these are important days ahead and for some the biggest and brightest times of our lives so pick wisely and fairly and then throw a party.

Eric!!!
You are so right on wityh your message WITH GREAT VALUE to all who read it and act on it!!
Bill Hoff
You guys should consider hiring someone that uses Photoshop instead of MS Paint for the website design. Maybe the could even make the header image fit inside the default blog template.
It is how you think Eric why I wish it is us two that get picked. We both have a very strong drive behind us that our lives have tought us to have and I know we would both do good on that show, even if people think we are underdogs so to speak
I’ve had so many people ask me which of the women I would pick because I’m the only “apple” among the “sausages. ” One contestant figured I wanted to be the only woman so I could have “the female vote.” And there’s always room for another good woman. We’ve had one woman pull out and another seems not to want to be in it in the top 25%.
My response was that anyone who was a real contender should certainly have done more than one video and sent traffic to the site. The gender is not as important as being engaged in the show.
I personally want good competition. I’d rather have worthy adversaries than weak ones. And I hardly think we need to be concerned about more controversial characters.
It will certainly be interesting to see who comes out victorious!
Ronda Del Boccio
The Story Lady
I agree with you fully. Did you watch the last episode of surviver? The guys got there butts handed to them by the women…..lol…..and it should be about the competition I think too more then who is on it.
Hey Ronda I like that no weak adversaries huh? I’ll be your huckleberry :0)
I have followed Eric Greens work for the past year and I must say that I’m very impressed with what he has accomplished so far…
Eric definitely “walks the talk”, is a true Leader, and an exellent marketer, so he gets my vote.
Sincerely,
Henrik Lundin
My name is Jon from Farao Island. I have followed the great affiliate and entertainer, ERIC GREEN for the last year and have learned so much from him. I vote for ERIC GREEN.
I’m here to offer up my personal endorsement for Collin De Ruyc in the upcoming Top Affiliate Challenge.
Collin is an amazing spirit, passionate blogger and has such a drive to learn and succeed. From a personal spectators perspective, I believe he’s new enough to the blogging scene to truly take something like the Top Affiliate Challenge – succeed and inspire a multitude of people who are looking to grab that brass ring of blogging.
I would be honored if you would consider Collin and my personal endorsement in your final selection process.
Good luck and I’ll be watching from the sidelines cheering on the next Top Affiliate.

Thor,
As far as where were these people when the voting was going on I have to say I was right there in the mix. Not only voting for Eric but Devin, Jani, Linda, Greg, and many more.
I thought about throwing my name in the mix; however, someone had to stay home and hold the fort down where business is concerned.
I do not envy the decision you have to make today between now and 1:00 PM CST!
I do know that whoever you pick will be the right person for the position…
Eric Green being well loved/liked is an understatement…there are numerous videos endorsing Eric Green for TAC…and knowing him the way I know him would love to see him doing what he does best…
Again, a decision I would not want to be in the position to make!!!!
I wish you lots of luck.
Holly Powell
Collin here is the deal man we aren’t underdogs! We are fighting for our positions and that’s cool. No One intimidates me the battle is in your own mind. I can remember when a former world series champion challenged me! So I hit him up with this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwbunqGoHU4
I know what I bring to the table and if this top 10 needs a challenge I ain’t SCARED! DG
I hope serious consideration is given to Collin De Ruyc in the Top Affiliate Challenge.
It’s not just about where you’ve been, and where you are now, but about what you learn and where you are going to go with it.
I think Collin demonstrates that he’s going to do great things with this opportunity!
We had a 3 sport challenge Ping Pong, Bowling, 3 Point Shooting Contest… DG
Out of all the people I could meet going on this show I am looking forward man to meeting you. Is it just me or are we the only two really fighting here to go on the show.
Whooo Hooo! It’s getting hot in here!
Battle with DG! And the Gang comes out to play!
Holly Powell
I just recently had the honour to be introduced to Eric Green AKA The Digital Gangster. He is one of the most helpful and inspiring man I have met in this industry. He just doesen,t think with his brain but also with his heart. He wants everyone to succeed and he supports in any way he can. I just want to say: Gooooooo Eric!!!!
Eric Green is a big inspiration for us all in so many ways. I am looking forward to a long and prosperious future together with Eric and his powerful leadership!
Yes, yes, yes
Hello my name is Holly Powell and I have been watching the goings on at the Top Affiliate Challenge. How exciting for the Top 25%.
I am putting in an endorsement for Eric Green, AKA The Digital Gangster as one of your wild cards picks. The talent that he brings to the table in both GUTz and “heart” I believe will make for an interesting TAC show.
Eric not only is one of the most amazing leaders I know! He is also known amongst his peers as having one of the biggest hearts. He truly cares about people and helping them to achieve their online goals. I’ve seen Eric spend sleepless nights to help someone in their business and then continue to function the next day as a Dad, a leader, and a friend….just to wake up and start all over again.
His passion for his team and his family I know will be an awesome asset to the TAC. He started the GUTz Community http://www.gutztv.com last year and that community continues to grow today. Although involved in many projects Eric NEVER forgets his team mates, his friends, or his associates. He has the true spirit of a Peaceful Warrior. Always there when we need him.
So here’s my endorsement; please consider Eric Green, AKA The Digital Gangster as one of your wild card choices.
Holly Powell
I don’t think there is much of a battle with DG going on here, in my opinion there is really only the two of us fighting for our spots, and there is only 2 spots left.
But I do wish everyone the best, that is forsure!
Collin I agree with you brother and I appreciate you standing up and fighting. Says a lot about your character. DG
Thanks man, and do I need a hug right about now. I don’t know about you but my nerves are totally gone right now. My girlfriend seen me cry yesterday for the first time in 2 years……
Hello Thor,
First I just wanted to say what a great idea you have with the Top
Affliliate Challenge. I cant wait to watch every episode. Now I know
that you will be deciding on two more in the top 25%, must be a hard
decision to make.
I just wanted to give my thoughts on why Eric Green AKA ” The Digital
Gangster ” would be a great selection. Eric Green is the people’s
champ, a underdawg! This guy has given more of himself to the 98% that
have never been successful online. Not only is he my mentor , friend ,
and now business partner. But This guy will be heard around the world
one day, He has a natural born gift and would be a great asset to your
first season.
Hi Thor,
I strongly and wholeheartedly recommend Gaj Subudhi.
He is a sincere, hardworking individual who has made mark for himself in the Internet marketing space in a short time. More important than that he has gone on to help many people to get their foot into the internet marketing industry.
He has given back more than he has taken from this industry..
Just in case my words don’t get the attention, here is a small video…
http://gorichonline.com/internet-marketing-tips/topaffiliatechallengecom-i-want-your-super-vote-for-gaj-subudhi/
He will bring immense value to the show and to the other contestants alike.
Cheers!
Srini Saripalli

Hi all. Regarding ERIC GREEN aka THE DIGITAL GANGSTER I saw this from another great networker ODIN last night …. ODIN is on a plane now and can´t endorse ERIC GREEN. He is what ODIN wrote to me: Amazing what ERIC GREEN has done lately:
- Has startet his own TV STATION for Affiliates
- Started a RADIO STATION for Affliates with Jack Henriques
- Started a fantastic COMMUNITY for Afiliates.
- Has developed a STEP-BY-STEP AFFILIATE TRAINING SYSTEM VALUE: 15.000 USD.
- On Memorial Day he and his TEAM offered approx. 6000 USD to US Soldiers and their families.
- On the same day he arranged a 3 hours MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT
plus a TV SHOW
- A few days before he went on LIVE TV for 6 hours alone (Marathon TV).
- The list goes on and on ….
Who else can PERFORM like this PLUS a lot of other things beside that. And ERIC did not do all the above for himself: But for others !!
Eric Green and I have worked together from a distance for about 1 and 1/2 years now. As I’ve gotten to know Eric, he has continued to impress me with his amazing talent and skills, not just in the Web 2.0 arena, but as a passionate leader and family man. When ever I’ve interacted with Eric, I have always walked away with a new tip or trick to promote my business and feeling more empowered by his support. I would JV with Eric in a heart beat if there wasn’t such a long line of people already waiting. Eric is definitely cutting a path to greatness in our industry.
Hello, Diamond Dave here in Sunny Tennessee
Eric Green is an awesome web 2o specialist. He has helped me to understand this emerging world both as an affiliate and an advisor, and I highly recommend him to your group.
Very action oriented, I often wonder how he pulls it off because I know he has a lovely family that he takes great care of.
DG knows attraction marketing, he is a master of delivery.
All Good Wishes,
Diamond Dave Ayers
I was having challenges to login to the forum because I didn’t register earlier, when i tried to register yesterday it was asking for referrer.

Thanks,

My two votes
Eric Green
Collin Feed Flare
They are the only two fighting in here…
I’ve read your blurb at the top and being one of themany who wrote in to you howling my dismay at THE Digital Gangster not grabbing what I believeo be his just rewards – a place among the top 10-I just want to quickly reiterate on what I said earlier.
As you may recall I harped on about about Eric Green
being the ‘good guy’ – well I’ve got
to say it again here. That’s what he is and that’s what your show needs.
My experience of reality TV shows is that it is not
the most controversial, or the loudest or the wackiestcharacter that wins.
Yes they give good entertainment value and thats whatkeeps those viewers coming back. But isn’t the winner always the guy or girl the one who was the ultimate team player.
The leader!
The genuine friend to everybody. The shoulder to cry on.
The straight forward honest guy that helps everyone no matter
what situation arises in the crazy reality TV arena.
Ultimately, i believe that everyone whilst tittilated
by controversy and mayhem, is inherently good
and inherently votes for the good guy. He is the one who those
viewers keep coming back to see night after night or week after week
because they really want that person to win despite their lust for the tittilating
sideshows that surround him.
The Digital Gangster is your good guy. The Digital gangster
will be the one that everone, EVERYONE , viewers and contestants alike will warm to,
trust and want as their winner.
You NEED someone with heart, with passion and with the genuine
desire to empower others. You need the popular man. The GOOD GUY.
Get Eric Green on your show RIGHT NOW………..!!!
Good luck with it all!!
Chris Thomas
My vote is for Gaj Subudhi. I would love to watch Gaj on your show. He is a talented and inspirational Affiliate who would bring much value to your show.
Thanks!
Jackie Eden
i’m a little biased, but here it goes anyways.
gaj stands out in this competition and here is why:
Facts:
#1 gaj did his audition at jvalert live which as we all know from next internet millionaire big seminar auditions is the place where the worst auditions are given as they are on the spot with no real insight, audition handbook, etc.
#2 gaj NEVER received a follow up from jvalert live. he started his push later than anybody (like final audition deadline). and this was not an isolated case of email deliverability issues for thor.
#3 he was chosen by me after I had chosen not to work with two of the current top ten because I wasn’t sure they cut the mustard. and Yes, they both contacted me first
#4 the reason why I chose him is because he actually had evidence of being able to kick some ass. he had significant people raving about him and his skills.
#5 jonathan van clute who was first to throw the idea of us working together accepted gaj as the third partner in a split second
#6 unlike many of the top ten who publicly solicited partners to buy themselves super votes early on, gaj and our strategy was always first and foremost to use marketing strategies
#7 gaj actually tried to deliver value in his audition video. using a new domain name that has the solution in the domain is a valid and profitable tactic for promoting affiliate products which many people use AND many people still have not considered whether you are jealous enough to try and put down his video because you already knew it, etc. p.s. great for online videos too since they are shorter and fit better
#8 he drew the attention and disdain of many jealous and hypocritical contestants who couldn’t fathom how someone can actually use marketing to separate $5 and more from people in exchange for great value. they lied about him.
#9 his video was trashed by one of the top ten yet shoemoney said it “seemed” like he had some experience with affiliate marketing and ken macarthur totally validated his affiliate marketing abilities
#10 not ONE contestant (from what I saw) who either lied or supported the lies against gaj had a coach mention their affiliate marketing abilities
#11 gaj persevered. he comes from a different ethnic background than the other top 25%. although carl lives there now
so he didn’t understand why people were lying about him. I told him to ignore them and to keep doing what he was doing which was marketing. and he is still doing so right now. he is not whining that jealous contestants actually encouraged people to vote him a low score
#12 lastly… he’s got two things going for him that you are looking for in the final two contestants. he has affiliate marketing abilities and controversy.
thanks for listening
big jason (defender of hard working and honest little people who have integrity)
Eric you have my vote. I enjoy the video’s you done on troy and Eric Mortensen. Keep up your great work . Happy Farthers DAy.
Hi, Im from Holland and I vote for ERIC GREEN !!
All women love Eric Green!!!
GO GO GO, for the Digital Gangster !!
Astrid
He deserve this, he is an amazing populair guy !! We all love him !!
I’d like to cast my vote for Gaj for a variety of reasons. The reasons are my own, just know that I cast my support for him as a worthy and valuable participant who will really give it his all.

Its great to see you got your post in, Good luck man
Oh, one last question for ya though. What did eating poop have to do with affiliate marketing in your video. I am just wandering thats all, or was it real?
collin, gaj is the one who gave an affiliate marketing tip. no poop was included in his video
Eric Green would get our vote for your wild cards pick. As an Internet marketer he has helped so many people realize their true abilities through hard work and teamwork. Talk about motivation, this guys got it. My pick would be for The Digital Gangster, Eric Green.
It is of course ERIC GREEN I talk about !!
Dear Sir, I just wanted to leave my recommendation for you to pick Eric Green AKA The Digital Gangster. This guy is SO loved, treasured and admired by so many people all over the world.
I know he wasn’t voted in because he is so humble and always puts others before himself. If he had of worked less for others, I’m sure he would have easily made it to number 1. But that is what makes him so priceless. Not only is he an amazing friend and a extremely hard worker(for the success of others), but he’s a really incredible and inspirational leader.
I know you have a very hard decision to make, but when it comes to someone like Eric, Your show would not be the same without him!!
Sincerely
Eliane Carbajal
Cusco, Peru
and not even little bunny poop!!!!
those are fun to throw at people, fyi
Please, Please pick Eric Green!!!!!
Thor -
In my own humble opinion – I feel your selection should be that of someone that deserves to be there. These two picks in some ways are even more important than the Top 10 – because you’re HAVING to pick.
I know Eric Green has been mentioned by people – but I don’t feel he’s deserving.
His “Marketing” skills end at hype and poorly edited videos that are usually riddled with copyrighted material.
Outside of one program – Eric has done nothing over the last year than jump from program to program to program – with what appears to be little to no success.
Eric knows one marketing technique well – and that’s Piggyback Marketing. And in my opinion – that’s exactly why he wants to be on your show – to piggyback off of its success.
Have him provide SPECIFIC Successes – including all the details of why he moved on to the next, and next, and next opportunity.
Much like Jeremy Schoemaker – I tell it like it is. And I know this is going to anger some people – but if you can prove me wrong bring it on (Unless you’re one of the UVME and/or PUTZ Robots – in that case save it – I already know your answers and could care less about hearing em’.)
Wes Wyatt
ERIC GREEN get my vote. He is a STAR in Scandinavia. We will follow the show!
Hiii , I have my wote for Eric Grenn , the Digital Ganster.
I love to see him doing his stuff online, therfor he MUST have my wote.
His the Boss
- When you are a TOP LEADER you will always have enemies …. it is a jealous world many lives in today ….
I appreciate your comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and your opinion of me hasn’t stop my success. I appreciate everyone who is rallying behind me because it’s those people at 2-3 am in the morning that I’m working with to create success. I just wanted to say I think your Great Wes…
Dan Millman: The ones who are hardest to love are usually the ones who need it the most.
DG
Well dude if I get on the show you will have to show me how thats done!!!
I have never tried that before so I will have to take your word on it being fun!
Easy answer! Gaj Subudhi. I had a chance to meet him last year at the Adwords Workshop with Simon Leung.
I was extremely impressed not only by what he’s been able to do online but also cause this guy is just an all around “nice guy.”
Don’t know about how much that matters to you, but in business it matters a tremendous amount.
Would love to see Gaj on the show for sure!
Gaj has really shown how people can build a business online quickly and successfully.
He should be the one to be on the team.
Hey Thor,
It is starting to look like a competition on who can email the most people this morning and get them to come by and comment.
Nice work on creating a buzz!
I also wanted to once again wish everyone nothing but success on the show and for the remaining two people who will be I am sure carefully picked.
Met Gaj at a seminar in Texas a couple of years ago.
His determination and focus has paid off. Gaj would be a great addition to the show.
Wes, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Personally, I dont understand why you have been so upset with Eric Green or the Gutz community. As I dont think we have ever done anything wrong to you. I for one wish your success in everything you do. As we may not be perfect, but who is… There is no room for hate in my life…
Shane
My vote? Gaj Subudhi. Met him at jvAlertLive in Orlando. Nice guy, smart and walks what he talks. A real plus in my book.
Awe…it’s sweet watching you and Eric take the high road while the verdict is still out. NICE! (And you both know what that means!)
My only question Wes is – where were all these people when he needed votes to get into the top ten and was is ti say if they are really going to watch or are they even part of the online community. From my point of view, my endorsement from Gayla means more then all his simply because she is well known in the online community and has been a blogger and channel editor for many years for b5 Media which we all know is Darren’s company and it has major traffic pull.
Oh which reminds me, Darren if you ever see this post congrats on the baby!!!!
Collin – he’s no more a “Top Leader” than I am a Fitness Coach!
You want to know who had legit and reputable “Vote For ____” requests? Big Jason.
These that you’re seeing are from a bunch of Mushrooms!
Where were they in the voting process? Piggyback Marketing with Eric and Shane!
Listening to the Socrates quotes is about ready to make me gag! This groups exposure to Socrates is limited to watching “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”!
DUDE…..LMAO
Your responses right now are a classic example of your leadership style. Plus Bill and Ted’s Excellent adventure was a great movie. I would love to battle on the show with you but your just simply not in the running. I guess at least I still have shot. Once again man I wish you success!
DG
Eric Green not a Top Leader ? Please visit http://www.TroyMgMt.com – find ABOUT in the menu and see WHY the company has appointed him as Advisor …. With all respect for a Fitness Trainer. But here you have the proof for that ERIC GREEN is a TOP LEADER ….
OUCH – you really got me Eric!
By the way – You Are shortened is “You’re”.
Thor, if you notice Gaj is seen as the nice guy who has made a success of affiliate marketing. Why not prove nice guys don’t finish last?
I would expect Eric Green, AKA The Digital Gangster, to be selected to be on y0ur show mostly because he brings an incredible amount of creativity, energy and experience that he’s gained in a relatively short period of time (less than two years) that allowed him to quit his day job. Eric is a person that I have had to run to keeep up with because he is always on the leading edge in networking, testing new ideas, and implementing what he’s learned. For a show that would seem to require someone to take a new idea and run with it to produce a desired result in short period of time, Eric is the perfect contestant. He would make people watch the show because of that fast adopter type of spirit and also because he has branded himself better than most who have tried. The likelihood that a viewer may have heard of “The Digital Gangster” is high, and his persona would also arouse curiosity, another great disposition for a viewer. Eric has always been straight up with me as to what he is doing in business, why he is doing it and how he is doing it. When he felt he steered me wrong on time, he apologized and offered other training and tools for free to help me do my marketing better. Even though he’s super busy, he’s always been responsive to me. That’s a leader.
Wes, why do you pick on Eric? How can you say he doesn’t deserve to be on the show? Your comments are outright mean!!!!! (If you haven’t got anything nice to say, don’t bother to say anything at all!!! Are you helping the world in any way to try and pull others down?) Its not always about being seen as the big shot in a program. I have been ripped off, hurt and left with a bitter taste in my mouth from the number #1 in a program before and believe me its a crappy feeling that helps to ruin the industry.
Eric on the other hand is an extremely kindhearted, beautiful leader and precious soul and was there for me and endless people I know and helped us to success like NO OTHER!!! He has a silent strength that is felt in the hearts and souls of others just like Mother Teresa, Jesus and Ghandi. True heroes can be ridiculed and mocked, but the truth always comes out!!!!
Wes I wish you all the best in life.
I totally second that saying
Sarah I appreciate your kind words. The fact is I’m far from perfect as a matter of fact I think you were in Pre-Paid Legal right Wes. Like the great coach and mentor Dennis Karganilla says you have to fail your way to success. Right now I currently have many great things going on. We have developed a project to help those with no money drive income.

You see when you are closest to success is when the arrows come. I know how much I enjoy serving other people and my goal is for us all to win. To my haters I just say thank you because it’s a driving force for me.
Have an awesome day all this is my last post until they make a decision either way it’s back to work with all the great people who have backed me today…
Peace Out,

Its been a VERY tough decision, but the producers of Top Affiliate Challenge have selected the final 2 contestants for Season 1.
They are:
* Collin Lahay
* Ian Fernando
With that said, I remember what it was like when I sat by the phone and waited for the phone call from Eric Holmlund when he selected me to appear on Next Internet Millionaire.
I have been through a process very similar to this one before and I know emotions run high.
We have pointed out from the beginning that Top Affiliate Challenge is a multi-season event.
If you were not selected by the producers for one of the two final slots, we all STRONGLY encourage you to submit another video for next season.
There were some really great people in the top 25% that we could not select – we only had 2 slots available.
Thank you so very much to everyone who auditioned. You have our word that an entertaining and informative show is in store for you in a mere 2 weeks.
Our product IS the show, and everything we have will be available for FREE on the website. It is our hope that you will be entertained and learn a lot from our gurus, contestants, and bonus footage clips.
I just wanted to wish Collin and Ian Great success on the show. I will be watching each week.
Have an awesome day everyone.. Wishing you success and abundance.
Eric Green AKA
The Digital Gangster
Please allow me to Vote for Eric Green AKA The Digital Gangster that have done so much for so many affiliates in the world. Greetings from Norway!

Congrats Collin and Ian,

Shane
Hey now, don’t yell at me
You sent me an email offering to do the manual labor for me, I would be stupid to pass that opportunity up!
As for the show,
SEE YOU ALL IN NEBRASKA!
Unreal Thor, I bought all Colin’s super votes. And when he was to busy on the weekend to do it himself, he sent me the money and I did it for him to help him out….hows that for nice guys finish last eh!!!

congrats collin. looking forward to kickin it
big jason
I just wanted to say, that even though the final two have been chosen for The Top Affiliate Challenge, my buddy and friend Eric Green AKA “The Digital Gangster” deserved to be on the show. If people didn’t see the true value this man brings, then there is something wrong with you. But, anyway I do want to say congrats to the two that were picked. I also want to let my good friend Eric Green know that even though he was not picked, we have bigger and better things in the works and you know what it is Eric Green…….My friend it is a pleasure working with you and all the value that you have given me is priceless, thank you………. And go ahead Wes Wyatt and others, leave your comments…….doesnt really matter, because If I remember correctly, when I reached out to you, you blew me off………Do you remember that? Well guess what Wes, you missed out brother………..because I’m blowing up…….and yes, blowing up with the GUTz Team! See ya, …..LOL:)…….I wish you much success and happiness Wes!
Prove it!
I’m guessing the only thing you’re blowing is HOT AIR!
This was fun!
I want to congratulate Collin and Ian.
I’m one of many that voted for and supported Eric Green.
He remains a steady rock even under intense and heavy rain(Wes).
I don’t know why or how it came to this. Wes, I never had a bad word to say about you in my life so it never really made much sense to me as to your demeanor towards GUTz or Eric Green but in the end, the true character of an individual does reveal it’s ugly head.
Eric is a champion and will CONTINUE to rise and be seen again.
You sure did vote – and A LOT – some might even say a WHOLE LOT!!!
Hi Thor.
My vote is for the Digital Gangster Eric Green…
Here is my post I put on your coments, which I think was the wrong place, sorry if this is a dupe.
I highly recommend Eric Green AKA The Digital Gangster. He is a phenomenal leader and mentor in the web 2.0 market. His ability to motivate and tireless efforts to help would be an asset to you. He will represent you and your program enthusiastically and will be the power of his loyal supporters to the game.
Thanks for your consideration

Wow, Wes your a Vicious guy! I hope one day your able to let go of all the anger your holding in…
Shane
Peaceful warrior
Hmmm? Vicious and/or dangerously aggressive. Yeah – that’s right. And since we’re in that area – you can also paint me as being BRUTALLY honest.
Acting like you’re made of sugar and spice doesn’t make it true.
If the truth hurts – tough!
You should pick, Eric Green AKA The Digital Gangster. He is a leader in the web 2.0 market.
Not only has he mastered the art of web 2.0 marketing, he has an ability to teach others.

I vote for – Collin – Feed Flare
he appears to want it more than 99% of the others and that accounts for alot
IANtrepreneur is another great one
Wes , why not offering people help for once instead of stealing 2K from people and leaving them. We both know what i am talking about, how can you sleep at night…
Shane
Eric – tell your boyfriend to quit harassing me!
“How can you sleep at night?” – coming from someone backing UVME and Troy? Incredible!
And don’t forget to let everyone know – you and your boyfriend were kicked out of the 2K Company referenced above – and that you piggyback off the name every chance you get!
Keep em’ coming and I’ll keep knocking em’ down!
Wes, You bad boy! lol
Eric and Shane were never kicked out of that 2K program. They quit! Since we’re on the subject of integrity. Isn’t it amazing that when Thor did the fraud sweep, you went from 15th place to 35th place within an hour. hmmmmm, interesting.
I wonder why that is? Don’t answer as I already know the answer.
Keep them coming; because every time you swing, you destroy yourself one piece at a time.
You make this to easy. Just continue to respond or open your mouth and you leave no doubt who you really are.
Ps.
Don’t forget the raincoat because it’s raining bs
Love,
MOM
Hmmm…I wonder why you’re using an alias???
Must have something to do with the fact that you’re full of what you’re shoveling!
Unlike you – pathetic coward that you are – I’m a Glass House!
Wes, I wonder what Val and the rest of the team would think of your mean comments on this site? The way you are behaving, you are ruining any chance to ever be on the affiliate challenge, and anyone who reads this would be really put off to work with you. Apart from losing business partners and customers, is there anything you actually get from behaving the way you do?
You’re right Sarah!
GREAT LUCK to ALL the contestants!
I’ll be one of your most loyal viewers!
Have a DYNAMITE day!
Ok, natives… I REALLY appreciate all of the readership on this post, and I am sorry that the contestants you supported may not have made it on the show.
I would really appreciate all of you helping to make Top Affiliate Challenge a success by posting about it, cutting videos about it, and spreading the good word.
Eric Green has obviously touched a lot of you by offering great content and support with little regard for his own income or desires. We plan on doing something very similar with Top Affiliate Challenge.
I hope to see you all commenting in the TAC forums on July 1st. I PROMISE you won’t want to miss episode 1
I will vote for Eric Green AKA Digital Gangster… He has been the greatest value to my internet marketing last year and continually giving more value to internet and Web2.0! He really looks out for his team and others! I am blessed for his core value and his work speaks for itself and that’s the bottomline. Eric does not need my endorsement, his people and testimonials of many lives and family are better because of his core value and commitment! His unselfish contribution I will always pass it onto my son!
Thank you Eric for being who you are,
Robert Sams
WOW!
Someone sent me this today, interesting blog/comments!
All I can say is the “truth always REVEALS ITSELF!” This I am learning everyday!
I have had some incredible learning experiences online, in this short time that I have been online.
I have learned so much, from many of you…for this I am grateful. The good and the bad…ALL great learning experiences!
Reading this and some of the comments confirms for me a few things…
Some people leave the kool-aid stand when they learn it is poisoned…
As I and my team of 33+ just did!
And some know of the poison…yet go back for more…they refuse to believe that they are brainwashed, or under a spell of their charismatic, hypocritical leader.
I personally, chose to not drink the kool-aid any more, make my own beverage and attract some great people to help me run the many stands on every corner, on every street. Life goes on people move forward.
Wes…you screwed with good people…this negative post isn’t like me…but, I FEEL IT must be said.
Like I said the truth will always come out…it already has, I know more will be unfolding…funny thing is you did it to yourselves…
I guess Eric,and the many were actually right about you.
I too was brainwashed…fooled, lied too…and it hurts big time…
What I see here now in this blog shocked me at first. now as I re- read it…Wes…it really doesn’t…
I think you should do the right thing…make it right…at least give my people back their 400.00 you took to promote yourself, and you…The Host… tsk…tsk…
all the best to all of you…
with love and respect,
Karin Hiebert
still the “queen bee!”
just not of PCN OR MIM ANYMORE!
“BEE WELL!”
stings a little when the truth bites you in the”ass.”
hopefully is is the last negative thing you will ever hear from me…but then we will see what happens…time will tell…
have a great time in Nebraska WES…
and on that note I pray and shower everyone here with love…including the ones sick from the kool aid…
If you print it and say it…it MUST be true!
Your team should be proud to be led by someone SOOOOOO ethical!
I vote for – Collin – Feed Flare
It’s not just about where you’ve been, and where you are now, but about what you learn and where you are going to go with it.
I think Collin demonstrates that he’s going to do great things with this opportunity!

Here’s the other one: The Bears won nine of the twelve prediction indicators, and after tying one, they lost only two. Looking at all the teams who have gone into one of the previous 40 Super Bowls, there have been twelve occasions when one of the teams has had two or fewer indicators against them. On those twelve occasions, the team with two or less indicators against them has won eleven times. The only time a team lost in this situation was when the upstart AFL Kansas City Chiefs beat the eventual four-time Super Bowl loser Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV.The magic number is then twelve for the Chicago Bears. They want to become the twelfth team in a row to win the Super Bowl because of their significantly superior defense. And they want to become the twelfth team (out of 13) in Super Bowl history to win the Super Bowl having lost two or fewer of our prediction indicators.
