One of my regular readers, Thor Schrock, is participating in a contest called The Next Internet Millionaire. I met Thor a few months ago and we have plans on rolling out a very creative and lucrative business when he gets done winning the Next Internet Millionaire competition. In the mean time, Thor needs votes! He has moved up to the semi-finals! I am so happy to see such a wonderful and caring person climb so far in a competition like this. Thor and I spoke on the phone for many hours about participating in the content. My last words to Thor was that he should participate because I felt that he would do very well with the competition and I felt that he carried the natural leadership abilities, experience and intelligence to drive full force into this contest and win!
Thor called me a few nights ago, and as he says, I am near impossible to get in touch with… Very sorry about that Thor! He left me a message on my voice mail and explained to me that he is doing very well with the competition and he wanted to know if I could help by voting for him.
I have voted for him because I believe in him and feel that he is the right person for this competition. I would love very much so if all my readers would do the same. Thor is a person just like you and I… and with all our help by voting for him we can aid him in his continued success in the competition.

Thor, I personally wish you the best. I am sure that everyone here will support you! I was looking at the people who are ahead of you in votes and I don’t see how they can bring more to the table than you! Stay strong, be smart and win! I am pulling for you buddy!

Date/Time: 6-23-2007 22:53:06 Comment #3378
It was a no-brainer for me to vote a 10 for Thor. If he’s got your vote, Garry, then that’s good enough for me. I liked his video.
Date/Time: 6-23-2007 22:55:32 Comment #3380
Mark you are awesome! Thank you so much for voting… Your link is going up right now!
Hey Thor…
How often can we vote? I know you said once… but is that once per day, per week? etc…
Also… you mentioned the different ways we could vote…. i.e. making sure the IP address is different.
My question for you is, can we use our back up dial up accounts. I am pretty sure that the IP on dial up accounts change everytime you login.
Date/Time: 6-23-2007 23:45:07 Comment #3387
Thank you kindly, Garry.
May I ask a favor? Could you please change my link to “MeAndMyDrum” (capitalize the “a” in “and”) and update your blogroll accordingly? It’s more for branding purposes than anything else. I’d appreciate it!
Btw, I’ve added you to my Drum Corp.
Date/Time: 6-23-2007 23:57:44 Comment #3389
Wow Mark!
Thank you so much. I have made the changes as you asked. Would you mind making a few adjustments for me as well?
In your blogroll could you remove “successful” and just link me to Blogging Tips?
Also in the Drum Corp. is there any way you could go ahead and link direct to my Blogging Tips category? I am not sure if you have read my post about being a Category Sponsor. I have plenty of room to add your blog as an Official Category Sponsor. One minor change to your post gets you there!
Thanks again for the post, the blogroll entry as well as the vote for Thor. He is one of the few going into this contest with such excellent and ethical intentions.
Date/Time: 6-24-2007 00:04:37 Comment #3391
No problem at all.
I’ve made the changes. Feel free to let me know if I need to tweak them some more. I don’t mind at all.
I had read your post about the category sponsors, but didn’t realize until now that my post would have qualified me for that. Thanks for pointing that out.
Date/Time: 6-24-2007 00:32:18 Comment #3393
Mark,
I have you added into the Sponsored Category section.
I do have just one very little change needed. In the blogroll, can you add www to my URL. (*sorry*) Everything else looks awesome! I am glad to have you as a category sponsor!
Date/Time: 6-24-2007 00:41:53 Comment #3395
No problem at all, buddy. The change is made.
Date/Time: 6-23-2007 22:53:49 Comment #3379
Thor, good luck!
We’re rooting for ya

Hi Thor and Garry,

Thanks To Everyone Who Has Voted
Within just a few hours of voting, Thor is now up one rank from #12 to #11. If you haven’t voted for Thor, please vote a 10 for him! Here is a screen shot below:
Remember, if you vote a 10 for Thor, I am going to advertise your site for free on the top fold of over 500 pages within my entire site! Also, remember you can only vote once… so if you have access to another computer, perhaps a cell phone with Internet access… do whatever you can towards getting more than one vote in. The main thing I believe is making sure you vote using different IP addresses. So if you can email a friend, tell you mom, or even go next door to your neighbors… maybe even if you are in the mall, there are tons of display computers up and running with Internet access.
Date/Time: 6-24-2007 07:03:34 Comment #3420
This was a NICE surprise to wake up to Garry! Thanks to you and your readers for all of the votes. If any of your readers are interested in promoting my audition as well, I can provide some *choice* backlinks as well! Thanks again everyone!

That is cool. I have two online friends in the top 50 and Wendy of emomsathome has one too. Hopefully, they will all make it on the show. Wouldn’t that be cool!
Date/Time: 6-26-2007 08:45:11 Comment #3497
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Thor on his Second (and current) video. Well, actually the audio. Although Thor insisted on compensating me for the work, I refused. Helping Thor get into the Top 12 is something I feel strongly about and I am happy to donate my time for him. I hope you all do the same and continue to spread the word and vote him a 10. Thanks to everyone who has helped out so far!! You are making this possible!
Date/Time: 6-26-2007 11:46:42 Comment #3499
I vote from me. Good Luck Thor.
You are on #9.
I thought I am voting for Garry’s twin brother.

Thanks.

I just voted for Thor. His video is pretty good. He is currently in the top 10. My online friend Andrea Yager is also in the top 10. My other online friend in the competition, Cliff Hammock, is currently number 25. Hopefully they will all make it.
All the best,
