Welcome to the Top Affiliate Challenge Official Blog!
The Next Internet Millionaire was the web’s first attempt at reality entertainment. At the time this was written, more than 491,000 people have watched at least one episide of TNIM.
There is no doubt that Joel Comm and Eric Holmund’s ground-breaking efforts pushed the envelope and advanced the idea that the web could be used to exclusively distribute serialized entertainment.
There were a lot of things that worked well for TNIM, and some that did not. The Top Affiliate Challenge web reality show is not attempting to “out-do” or “one-up” TNIM.
We do want to IMPROVE on what was accomplished on TNIM and create an entertaining, informative, and fast-paced show that will keep you glued to your computer screen waiting for more.
While many of the details are still under wraps, the biggest difference between the Top Affiliate Challenge and TNIM is that this show will be filmed and realesed in REAL TIME. This will allow our audience to participate with the teams as they work through various tasks. In fact, the audience will be able to help push the team of their choice over the top!
There will be an audition process for this show, and we will ask those who audition to submit a video to us. TNIM caught a lot of flack for playing fast and loose with the audition process, and we do not intend to make the same mistake. There will be rules for submitted videos, and those who do not conform to those rules will not be accepted.
There is a saying that the pioneers always take the arrows. Thank you Joel and Eric for pioneering this entertainment genre on the web. Hopefully by following the trail you blazed, the Top Affiliate Challenge will build upon your success!
