What marketers saw when they turned it on.
We weren't expecting anything like this to happen. Over 51,000 pages were indexed on Google just from the contest. A bunch of press releases which was nuts and bunch more sales which is obviously the best part. And it was a lot of fun!
Your contest blew me away and it's definitely turned Mobile Monopoly into a viral thing which we weren't planning on having after the launch...
Thank you so much for making Contest Burner and making it as cool as you did. Without Contest Burner, I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today and there's no way I could be in Costa Rica right now.
And there's no way that I would ever launch another site without Contest Burner by my side because it is the easiest source of free traffic for me. It just grows virally, it's the easiest!
I recently launched a book launch and used Bill Mcintosh's Contest Burner software to really launch my book in a whole new way and I'm very excited about it. It went so fantastically!
I came across Bill's software and was just instantly excited about it! So I got the product, installed it within minutes, configured it and had it up and running in a very very short period of time. I used it to launch this contest in conjunction with my product launch. It brought in thousands of people who never had heard of my book.
By using this software, I was able to generate over 200 extra leads just by using this piece of viral software. And it didn't take me any more effort or any time to do it. I just installed this little script onto my blog and I've got 200 extra leads in a very short space of time. And it's free traffic. I didn't have to pay for it.
I definitely recommend, if you want to get viral traffic and build your list bigger and make more money, then I recommend definitely getting Contest Burner because it's a really really cool piece of software and no one else has this. This is the only place you can find it.
Within 3 short weeks, I went from a ranking of 300,000 plus to 97,000 in Alexa. Along the way, I built a nice little list of over 1,000 people, which was truly amazing! I saw results like I've never saw before.
And the really cool part about it was that my website went viral. It went into places that I didn't even know existed. So this is the software that is very powerful and I highly recommend it to anybody. So Bill thank you very much for bringing this up to me!
We personally used it in a launch that we recently executed. And we did a 7 figure launch, over a million dollars. And I owe a lot of that to Contest Burner because it helped us build buzz using Facebook, it generates 600 YouTube videos by 600 different people. it built Twitter buzz, it built blogging comment buzz. We ended up with over 3,500 comments and that creates social proof which will help sell your product.
I was able to increase my subscribers by about 10x to the point where my blog now, with every post that's put out there, I get 20-30 comments, so it's gotten pretty popular as a result of Contest Burner.
Secondly, we've used it on a major launch of a product called the Epic Traffic Systems. The interesting thing with that is we got over 18,000 comments because of the viral nature of the launch combined with Contest Burner. It was an amazing success! Contest Burner has worked extraordinarily well.
At least 3,000 of those people that joined this site before launch were a DIRECT result of Bill's Contest Burner! This thing is Awesome! And I mean I was using it when it was in beta. He's even added a whole bunch more things from suggestions. This thing is just incredible.
I can't say enough about it. I've used it. It works. It's added tons of revenue to my bottom line & it really is a fun way to attract people to promote your website & just make it go viral...
I recently used your Contest Burner tool and I've got to tell you that this is a great viral tool that's awesome at driving targeted traffic. I almost got 3,000 extra visitors in a week just from using this tool and I'm confident that I added over a thousand new subscribers to my list just by using Contest Burner.
A couple years ago we developed some software that created viral report building and we thought we had it figured out back then, but when I saw Contest Burner, I was blown away!
I would highly recommend this to anyone who's doing any kind of launch, any kind of perpetual launch, any kind of membership site, continuity revenue, you're going to want that steady stream of traffic coming in and you can theoretically run contests ongoing and totally offset the cost of whatever prizes you use by the increased traffic. It really has gone viral. And I just want to thank you for all the help you gave us.

Built by a list-builder, for his own launches.
Bill McIntosh spent more than a decade building online businesses and lists of over a million subscribers. He went looking for a tool that would get visitors to spread the word for him — and couldn’t find one.
So his team built Contest Burner for in-house launches. After a few marketing friends tried it on their own launches, word spread, and Contest Burner went on to power contests for product launches, blogs and businesses across dozens of niches.
