Hi all, I figure now is as good a time as ever to start up this offer. Any number of participants can win the Evo prize. If enough people win, I'll rent out an entire floor of a luxury hotel near the Evo venue for myself and all the winners. Even if you don't win the prize or don't care about Evo, you can still earn a 5-figure payout, so read on to see what's up. This offer is only good for residents of the US who are 18+. I'll cover your travel (1st-class air travel and hotel), Evo registration fee, and a $200 daily per diem. This is in addition to a substantial cash payout.
As some of you know, I'm Woody, owner of Woody's Trivia and Woody's Bingo. I invented and patented a new kind of entertainment, a robotic gameshow host that can run live shows in bars and restaurants as if a live host was there in the venue. Here is a video of me pitching the product at a local One Million Cups entrepreneurship meeting. I was the only presenter asked to also present at their Cedar Rapids chapter (presenters usually have to request to present) and was told by multiple long-term members that it was the coolest product they'd ever seen presented. Here is a pic of the device (just the outer box; the actual device is a combination of microcomputers and sophisticated networking equipment):
I'm on the lookout for people to pitch my product to their local venues. I've designed a compensation plan that allows pretty much anyone to sell the product. Salespeople are brought on as private contractors, meaning you're your own boss and can sell as many or as few as you like, going from venue to venue, making cold calls from home, or making sales however you like. Hell, you can even hire your own salespeople if you like. I don't care as long as sales are being made.
I charge venues $1.50 for every player. So if, during the 2-hour live Bingo show, 20 players participate, the venue would be charged $30. I pay my salespeople 25% of that amount for 1 year, so you'd be paid $7.50 for that show. Our shows are weekly, so even if you only sold one device that brought in 20 players per week, you'd make $390 by the end of the year (payments are sent monthly). Once the sale is made, you get to sit on your ass and watch the money come in, no strings attached. Sell 30 shows that bring in 20 players per week each, and congratulations, you'll earn $11,700 by the end of the year. All turnouts and payments are tracked automatically by my devices, and you can track your numbers via your own personal sales portal on my website.
So what about the Evo prize? This is awarded to any TYM salesperson who brings in at least 10,000 players. This means you sold around 10 decently-successful shows. A good salesperson could accomplish that many sales in a single day, and then just let the shows run every week while their player count racks up. Say you sell 10 shows that bring in 30 players per week, that's 12,000 players after 40 weeks, plenty of time to get registered for Evo. And again, that's in addition to the roughly $3,000 you'd be paid for your sales commissions. This is not a luck-based contest, everything is hard numbers. You bring in those players and congratulations, your ass is flying 1st Class to Evo 2020.
So what is the product? Are you familiar with "pub trivia"? These are live shows run at bars, restaurants, and other venues. A host hooks into the venue sound system or their own sound system and asks trivia questions and plays music. Players compete for prizes, typically gift cards good for a return visit to the venue. I've run a very successful pub trivia operation in Iowa for the past 6 years that brings in roughly $120,000 per year. The downside is that almost $60,000 of that goes to paying my hosts. To alleviate this expense, I invented "Woody's Bingo", a robotic replacement for live trivia. This isn't like the electronic trivia that you play on the venue's TV screens, nor is it like the little tablets on your table at Chili's. This is literally a robotic replacement for live entertainment. Our players look around the venue wondering where the human host is because they don't realize the show is being run by a robotic version of myself. The device plays music, makes announcements, and awards prizes, all with my voice. It has dynamic decision-making built into its routines, allowing it to vary it's pitch and intonation just like a live host would do. It even adds suspense to its bingo calls when it knows a user is close to winning a round. It's pretty fucking awesome, I'm not afraid to admit. It took me over 2 years to design, and over $70,000 to develop.
It's a no-brainer for venues. It takes less than a minute to hook up and automatically runs their shows every week (or multiple times per week). Most live entertainment costs around $150-$300 per show, so my dynamic $1.50-per-player pricing structure blows my competition out of the water; they simply can't compete. Without a live host to worry about, venues have unlimited flexibility to cancel shows or even run impromptu shows at a moment's notice. It costs me nothing to run a show, so I give all venues a 30-day free trial, no strings attached. Since it's literally a new form of entertainment (I call it "Localized Mobile Entertainment") it can be a little difficult to explain, but once you get the venue decision-maker to understand what we're offering and how it works, it becomes an easy sale.
If you're interested in participating or have any questions, please respond to this thread to help me keep it visible. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to seeing you at Evo 2020!

@STORMS @Juggs @Eldriken @Espio @HellblazerHawkman Hopefully you all know I'm legit, and that this offer is legit. It's a serious opportunity for TYM members, so if there's any way I could get this post promoted, I'd greatly appreciate it. Getting into the "pub entertainment" business was one of the best things to ever happen to me, so I'm excited to offer that opportunity to my TYM family.
