Jaime Luchuck Wins Reality Show and is Named “Next Internet Millionaire”

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

The final episode of Next Internet Millionaire (NIM) debuted this week and Jaime Luchuck won the first ever “Next Internet Millionaire” title by generating nearly $100,000 in book sales in less than one (1) week. Jaime beat runner-up and YouTube celebrity Charles Trippy whose Viral Video Fever video sold less than $50,000 in its first week.

I blogged about Jaime and Charles products HERE.

As the NIM winner Jaime takes home $25,000 in cash and becomes a joint venture (JV) partner of proven internet millionaire Joel Comm. It is likely that Jaime will make her first million within the next 12-months or sooner, while Trippy left the show with a check for $10,000, which was a share of his initial product sales.

Early next week I will be blogging more in detail about Joel Comm’s newest product - Secret Classroom, which I am involved.

In short, the product is a 12-disc educational DVD collection that was created during the taping of NIM. It will provide you with behind the scenes access to each and every session led by one of the NIM teachers!

The NIM teachers included Mark Joyner, Armand Morin, Jeff Walker, Marlon Sanders, Brad Fallon, Michael Koenigs, Kristopher Jones (that’s me), Dave Taylor, Perry Marshall, Mike Filsaime, Rich Schefren, and Ray Edwards.

Well - 12 shows = 12 DVD’s with about 2-hours of exclusive footage from each teacher. If you purchase the product you’ll be able to see my entire presentation that I gave during Episode 7 of the NIM! FYI - the launch will take place on December 5th - Stay tuned for more!

Here’s the last and final episode of this season - Episode 13 (note I’ve included a copy of Episode 7 below - that’s the show I was a guest):

Next Internet Millionaire Final - Luchuck versus Trippy - Winner Takes $25,000 and Chance for Millions more

Friday, November 9th, 2007

As you know I was a featured guest on EPISODE 7 of the first ever internet reality show Next Internet Millionaire hosted by Joel Comm. Haven’t seen Episode 7 - CLICK HERE. The experience was amazing and I had an opportunity to meet the two finalists, which include model…singer..and dancer - Jamie Luchuck and YouTube celebrity Charles Trippy.

CLICK HERE to watch Episode 12 where Jamie and Charles go head-to-head to win it all.

Here’s why you ABSOLUTELY need to watch Episode 12 - there is a twist to the show in that the winner will be decided not by JOEL COMM….but by you and me!!!

The deal is that Joel gave Jamie and Charles an opportunity to create a informational product that he agreed to help produce and support. The contestant that could sell more copies of their product within a 7-day period would be declared the winner!

I’ve spent some time reviewing both products and I’m absolutely convinced that you as an affiliate or search marketer can make a ton of money by buying Jamie’s and Charles’ products.

First, let me tell you about Charles Trippy’s product called Viral Video Fever (yeah, I agree..kind of a cheesy name); however, Charles is one of YouTube’s top video creators. In fact, Charles has had millions upon millions of people watch his videos and more than one million people have visited his director page to see all the videos he has produced. TO say the least, Charles knows how to create viral videos.

Viral Video Fever is a DVD (learn more here) produced by Charles Trippy that provides you with a detailed tutorial for how to create viral videos on YouTube. I’ve already purchased the product and expect to share with you a few examples of videos that Pepperjam produces based on Trippy’s video. I’m uber excited about this product!

Here is my pic with Charles from my appearance on the show.

Charles Trippy

OK, let me tell you about Jamie Luchuck’s product called “From Cubicle Slave to Next Internet Millionaire.” While Jamie’s product name isn’t that cheesy her landing page / website is super spammy looking (if you watch NIM then you’ll know that my opinion of info product landing pages is similar to Charles Trippy - these pages look like spam….however, I concede that they work!). Anyway, I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Jamie in Colorado during the shooting of my show and she was without question one of my favorite contestants. Jamie is from Canada and is a charming dancer and model - she’s a part-time web designer and made it to the finals of NIM based on her natural intelligence and likeable personality.

From Cubicle Slave to Next Internet Millionaire is Jamie’s detailed recount of her experiences on Next Internet Millionaire. She provides details from each and every Next Internet Millionaire teacher (including me) and provides her interpretation (sort of a journal) of other NIM contestants and the show in general. The idea is that she provides you with information from each of the speakers from the show that would cost you thousands upon thousands of dollars to see each of the teachers in person. My guess is that anything that the book says about my appearance is worth the value of the book!!!! LOL

OK - there you go. How do you vite for the winner of Next Internet Millionaire - Buy Jamie’s or Charles’s product!!!

The Next Internet Millionaire Episode Seven Featuring Kris Jones, President & CEO of Pepperjam

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

The waiting is finally over - Episode 7 of the hit internet reality show The Next Internet Millionaire is finally LIVE - I serve as the special guest, which includes me giving the contestants some insight on how to build a successful company, while having a ton of fun in the process.

(UPDATE: SCROLL BELOW FOR CONTESTANT PICS)

The show starts out with Laura Martin facing elimination in the judgment room. After that the contestants went on a hike in the Colorado Rockies and came back to the Next Internet Millionaire complex where I was.

Joel Comm, the host of the show, only told the contestants that a close industry friend of his would be present and that the remainder of day would be spent doing something different and fun.

The theme of the day was how to skillfully build a successful business, while making sure that you (and your employees) have a lot of fun in the process!

I was honored that Joel chose me to address this topic and was equally humbled that he shared with the contestants the fact that Pepperjam is one of the coolest places to work in the entire online marketing industry. With that intro Joel and I had the contestants participate in a series of challenges called “Pepperjam Games.” The idea was to expose the contestants to some of the fun things that members of the Pepperjam Team get to experience on a daily basis working at Pepperjam. Challenges included things like Ping Pong and Nintendo Wii. I also host a Trivia Show toward the end of the Episode where the contestants square off against one another and answer questions about Pepperjam.

The show was an absolute blast and I can’t thank Joel enough. In addition, it was an honor meeting each of the remaining contestants and getting to spend some time with them throughout the day and later in the evening over dinner and drinks. Also - I have to mention that I was extremely impressed with Joel’s entire production team led by Eric Holmlund. The complex where the show was taped was state-of-the-art and on the level of a Hollywood production - the entire team was professional and the level of energy and creativity would make anyone proud to be associated with such an amazing experience.

I consider this show a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the entire Pepperjam Team. The reason why Pepperjam is one of the most talked about companies in online marketing is because we have the most amazing group of people who are super talented and show up to work every day with a level of enthusiasm and commitment that is inspiring.

Here’s the show - Enjoy!

The Next Internet Millionaire Episode Four

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

The Next Internet Millionaire has just launched Episode 4.

At the beginning of the show each of the cast members took part in a Survivor-like challenge where they were each asked to eat live worms. Several contestants regurgitated the worms into a waste basket, while others appeared to enjoy the experience - don’t know about you, but the only worms I eat are jelly worms.

The personalities of each cast member are really starting to show - it looks like Jason Marshall (Ocean City, New Jersey) and Thor Schrock (Lincoln, Nebraska) are the front runners at this point in the series based on personality. Also, people around the blogosphere really seem to like Laura Martin (Austin, Texas), but she was almost kicked off the show several times.

I’ve really been enjoying the show and can’t wait until episode 7 where I make a guest appearance.

Here’s Episode 4 - Enjoy!

The Next Internet Millionaire Episode One

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Today marks the launch of the soon-to-be new hit reality show - The Next Internet Millionaire.

My “Next Internet Millionaire” reality show debut doesn’t come until Week 7 (somewhere in September or so), but I intend to watch every show - I’m not at liberty to tell you my involvement in the show other than to say that I participated in an entire episode as a quasi guest host and speaker.

Yeah, I have the benefit of knowing who the top 6 finalists were, but I have no idea who wins the show, or even who the top 5 are so I’ll be watching as closely as all of you!!!

Congratulations to Joel and Eric on an amazing debut show - the quality is unbelievable and I’m happy to see that thousands of people have already watched the show in its first few hours of launch!

Here’s the video in it’s entirety:

Kris Jones Makes Appearance on Reality Show - Next Internet Millionaire

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

Internet Marketing and Google Adsense Expert Joel Comm is in final production of an Apprentice-like Reality Show called - Next Internet Millionaire. Joel is a New York Times best-selling author (Adsense Code), internet guru, and international speaker.

Next Internet Millionaire.

While I’ve spoken at various conferences with Joel over the years it was only recently during Affiliate Summit - Miami that Joel and I had lunch and discussed some of our latest projects.

Joel asked me if I would fly to Loveland, Colorado and shoot an episode of Next Internet Millionaire - his latest venture. Since the production of the show is still underway I’m not at liberty to give specifics about my appearance, although I will say that it was a combo co-host / guest appearance and that it was one of the coolest experiences of my internet marketing life!

The Next Internet Millionaire is the first reality TV show that will be broadcast entirely over the web.

Similar in theme to other reality shows like American Idol and America’s Got Talent there was a multi-week open audition where thousands of contestants submitted videos, which were posted on YouTube for the world to see, about why they thought they should be the next internet millionaire, win $25K cash, and a multi-million dollar marketing partnership with Joel Comm.

After receiving thousands of videos, Joel cut the contestants down to the top 50 and then chose 12 finalists that were flown to Colorado for taping.

During each show, much like Survivor and the Apprentice, contestants compete in various tasks (again, I’m not yet allowed to say much here). However, the show also includes a really brilliant educational component where Joel flies in leading internet marketing experts from around the world to share insights on how to make millions of dollars online. In short, the show is like Apprentice with a hint of Survivor with the goal of finding (or creating) the Next Internet Millionaire.

When I arrived in Colorado I was amazed to find out that Next Internet Millionaire is being taped in an amazing 50,000 square foot warehouse / production studio - honestly, the venue felt like I was on a Hollywood set with multiple cameras shooting in every direction at all times.

For now I’ll say that I’m expecting to be on show seven (7) - this was the last week of production and the first show of the Next Internet Millionaire series will air LIVE around the middle of August 2007 - to learn more visit nextinternetmillionaire.com.

Stay tuned for more info!

Make sure to tune in to the show starting in mid August!
