The fact we did so well in this JV competition by being honest and open proves that, and not only did we make a ton of money ourselves but we also get to donate $2500 to charity for winning the JV competition. We will be donating this to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dogandcatshelter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">local Cat and Dog shelter<\/a>. Boy are they in for a shock when they receive $2500 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So if you can take anything away from this blog post it is this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Market in an honest and ethical way and you will stand more chance of success, you should also be able to sleep better at night knowing you are not taking part in marketing that damages peoples lives.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have just taken part in a huge promotional campaign and I&#8217;ve never felt so good. In fact we received a ton of emails from our subscribers wishing us well and hoping we&#8217;d win the JV competition and that meant a lot. I love my job \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and just in case you are not aware, winning this JV competition wasn&#8217;t a complete fluke, it&#8217;s been done time and time again and if you aren&#8217;t aware of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.affiliatepromoformula.com\/special_invitation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Affiliate Promo Formula<\/a><\/strong> now is the time to check it out. The Affiliate Promo Formula was used in this recent promo and as you can see it still works very well.
