$1,600 [edit: $1,700] Affiliate Book Photo Contest

Many of you have already heard of my newest book, Affiliate Program Management: An Hour a Day, a step-by-step manual on setting up, launching, and managing affiliate programs. It has already hit bestseller lists, received a number of interesting reviews, and I am excited to see all of this…

However, to make things exciting not only for me, but also for my readers, I have gotten together some sponsors, and decided to put together a contest around the book. It’s gonna be a photo contest, and we’ll utilize Amazon’s capability of uploading customer images with a product in it:

The rules are simple:

1. Upload your picture with the book (try to be innovative!) by May 31, 2011.

2. The winner(s) will be judged by the number of votes received.

3. Voting will naturally begin on the day you upload the picture, but the winners will be announced on June 15, 2011.

The total prize fund exceeds $1,600 $1,700 (see the edit at end of post), and here’s are the prizes and how they’ll get distributed:
