Why did Brian Campbell give away $10,000? 

John Chow is famous for going from zero to hero in only a few months and becoming one of the top people making money online exclusively through blogging! John is an expert at teaching people how to make money blogging.

John discovered Brian Campbell and noticed how Brian was going from zero to hero on facebook, much like John Chow did with blogging.

Brian was touched by John's altruistic willingness to help someone get started with their own online business. John "paid it forward" and featured Brian's story on his blog for FREE!

Brian decided that since he received a completely new business earning him $25,171 in only 21 days and a monthly recurring income of $5,000 that this featured article on John Chow's blog was actually priceless!

Just as John Chow has become the top expert for teaching people how to make money blogging, Brian Campbell has become the top expert at teaching people how to make money on facebook!

Brian decided to show his profound appreciation and love for John Chow by giving John Chow the same $10,000 that Brian claimed that he would make. John actually helped Brian make this goal a reality a lot sooner than Brian had anticipated!

Brian & John decided that it would be a good idea to make the event public, so all of Brian & Johns readers & contacts could come witness the $10,00 event as well as hang out with Brian & John.

MC,

You are right that I said that I would make the money before I made it. What I wasn't new at was making money online. I had proven for over 5 years that I knoew how to make money online. I gave away the facebook techniques, but I sold the other proven money making techniques of creating a product and selling it. Obviously now I have the credibility of doing it on facebook completely from scratch.

I hope this helps clarify it for you.

Aloha,
Brian Campbell

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you claiming to be completely new to making money on Facebook, then writing a guide on how to make money before actually having made any... then luckily making the money through sales of this product, before claiming to be an 'expert' after all?
