YESSSS! I got in Round 2 of the show. Check it out. I am near the top on the left on the Top 50 page.

I now have about a 1 in 4 chance of going to Colorado in late July for this awesome traning / contest. I think my chances are pretty good because in reality I was not even in the Top 150 for votes and in Round 1 the Votes counted 50%. So they had to want me to be in it pretty bad to score my other part so high. At least I feel confident going into Round 2. And a great change on Round 2 is that it is 1 vote per person. So no more of the situations where people are getting thousands of votes a day. I only had about 600 votes in round 1 because I did not learn until the next to last day that you could do multiple votes. I thought they were tracking that and would not count them. I also have many of the people in Round 1 that did not make it in my corner now. Lot's of people just seemed to like my genuineness.
Thanks so much for the votes that I did get from the DNN community. I will be sure to work DNN into my press releases somehow over the next couple of days.
I will be putting up a Round 2 video by Tuesday and the voting starts on Wednesday. It is all so exciting.
Bruce, I am definitely getting pretty heavy into the marketing world and have been working with several worldwide teammates on a very big project to rival John Reese's Income.com. Don't get me wrong. We are NOT going head to head with John Reese. That WOULD be FOOLISH. But from a scope and impact our project will rival his. I know what you mean about he LAMP stuff. Getting anyone to think of anything but Drupal and Joomla is tough. But I am making some headway. We REALLY need a very strong Social Networking component in DNN NOW. I know there are some starter modules out there, but the application of Social Networking to the business world is about to explode and I would love to use DNN. But for now I am stuck working with scripts like PHPFox to do this.
But I did get to host Ewen Chia's Super Affiliate Cloning Center at http://www.superaffiliatecloningcenter.com on DNN. The skin is pretty basic, but that is what Ewen wanted. We have about 800 people on the site that paid Ewen $1500 to be in his coaching club. He sold out the 800 slots in about 4 days. That is when I realized that there is a lot to learn from these people and so I have been doing that for about a year now.
Bruce, maybe we can talk offline about how to make DNN more workable for the marketing community. Let me know. Maybe I could promote DNN to Joel and use it in my Joint Venture with him...The Next Internet Millionaire says confidently.
Thanks again. I will stay in touch for the Round 2 voting.
