Now That’s a Guru Check!

by Scott Jangro on December 30, 2009

Awesome surprise delivered by the UPS guy today.

Return address was ShareASale and from the shape of the package, I was afraid hoping it would be a lifesize image of Brian Littleton tending goal.

Instead, it was a massive check that any online money-making guru would be proud to stand behind, congratulating us for being in the ShareASale Top 1%.

The only thing missing is Ed McMahon.

(This is what I’m supposed to do with this, right?)

Thanks guys. I see it’s post-dated for the 31st. I won’t try to cash it until next week.

Story behind the story

I’m sure many of these went out and I wanted to be the first to get it posted. But I’m alone with the kids today on their vacation week. So I set up my three-year-old who is now officially a budding photographer.

Young photographer

Obviously my SLR camera was unavailable so I took this picture with my iPhone with which, coincidentally, I’ve been having a blast taking pictures. So much so that I’ve started a iPhone photography blog called “Phonetography”. Catchy eh? More on that later.

    Congrat, Scott ...

    Love the check and the cute kid photo.

    It was great meeting and chatting with you on twitter this year. May we cross paths in real life!

    Heading over to Phonetography ...

    Go Sox! Karen
  • Thanks Karen and yeah, hope to meet in person sometime. You going to ASW?

    go Sox!
  • Hi Scott Jangro,

    Enjoyed meeting you briefly at ASW2009.

    Looking forward to meeting again in Las Vegas.

    I'm conducting some video interviews around the story of what new and seasoned Affiliates experience at ASW2010 and subsequent success stories post-conference.

    Would you be available for a 10-minute, video- interview anytime over the three-day schedule?

    I'll be set up in a nearby quiet space for these tasks.

    Respectfully,

    Nicholas Chase - Affiliate Summit member
  • Hi Nicholas. Track me down in Vegas. I shouldn't be too hard to find (or send me an email sjangro on gmail)
  • Nice check, but totally Shopped with that post dating and funny shadows. :p

    I checked for Phonetography.com - already taken.
  • uh yeah phonetography.com is taken. by me. You and @jimkukral don't really think it's 'shopped, do you?
  • I never was so great with the reading comprehension. But yeah, it's clearly not a real pic.

    In addition to all of the other questionable aspects, I don't think your SAS checks go to your name.

    Great shot, love how it handled focus and color isolation :) Did you see this? It's a way to adapt your SLR lens to your iPhone :)
