Most of you probably didn’t know, but the Dalai Lama recently became a client of mine. It’s not that big of a deal to me, but my colleagues think it’s incredible. I can’t tell you what he’s promoting, but let me just say, it’s definitely trancendental. Hypnotic almost, life changing.

When he first called I didn’t believe it was him. I was actually on a golf trip with some friends. I landed in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper (to pay for my Adwords bill) at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-galunga.

So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say,

“Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”

And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.

He goes on to tell me that gunga galunga is a really competitive term online, and he needs help. I tell him about my PPC skills and he says, “In addition to total conciousness, you can manage my lead gen campaign for the monestary”. Which is cool.

Which Brings Me to the Point of My Story!

I’m holding a golf challenge, Saturday, September 30, in Chicago. The course is to be determined. You see, I fancy myself pretty sharp with the stick, and if you or anyone who is employed at your company can beat me, straight up, tournament rules, play it as it lies, in a contest of 18 holes, I will manage your PPC campaign for 1 month free. This includes my normal analysis, campaign build, and management services. Here’s the kicker, you don’t even have to beat me. Just for showing up and paying your way and mine (or 1/3 of mine if we have a foursome), then you will recieve 1 hour of my consulting time (worth $250), PPC, SEO, or internet marketing in general. Whatever you need.

Consider this, if I wasn’t worth it, would the Lama have hired me? I don’t think so.

Here’s the details of the… 1st Annual Lamas for PPC Challenge

Location: Chicago, Il
