Browsing Category: "Contests"
I just wanted to remind everyone that today is the last day to enter for a chance to win a Nintendo Wii. Or if you’re trying to get a few extra entries to better your chance(s).
I have added an extra way to enter as well as increase the entry points for subscribing via e-mail and blogging about the contest. But you have to remember to comment on the blog post for your e-mail entry to officially count.
Now I know a lot of people didn’t want to the Nintendo Wii so they didn’t enter. I will also toss in a 125×125 ad spot on this blog for one month. Also, I’ll be giving away two text links ads for a month on this blog as well as iBlogtoBlog.com so you guys can get some link juices of the PR3 and PR2.
I decided to add that because giving away one single prize sucks. I figured having four winners is better than one.
Also, remember that the winner(s) have to claim their prizes by contacting me. If you do not contact me, your prize will be forfeited to the next random winner.
The contest is officially over today at midnight Eastern time.
Good luck!
It seems that people are contacting me more and more to become a sponsor in their upcoming contests. Now, I don’t mind sponsoring an ad spot (on one of my many blogs), text link, and a custom made banner design or whatever, but more and more people are asking and I only have a certain amount I can give away. So, I’m going to pick and choose who I sponsor.
Below are some reasons why I won’t sponsor your contest:
1. Not asking me personally and sending me a generic spam-type message. Again, I’m getting more and more requests to sponsor people’s contests so if you’re not going to even address me then you probably won’t even get a response back.
Not to sound like an ass or anything but you came to me to get a sponsor for your contest not the other way around. And if you look at any posts, it says my name right there. So when I receive a message like:
“To whom it may concern (or hi):
My name is XYZ of this site. My site is growing very fast and receiving XXX amount of visitors daily.
I am looking for sponsors for my contest that would be willing to contribute XYZ prizes.
If you are interested, please reply to me before this particular date.
Best,
Their name”
90%-95% of the time this message is either a copy and paste method or a bot. If you were to take 2 seconds to replace “to whom it may concern (or hi)” to “Jay” then I might have fell for your trick.
Though, sometimes it’s even worse. There are people who put “Dear Webmaster or Blog Owner” and you obviously know what that answer is going to be.
If you haven’t entered for a chance to win a Nintendo Wii yet, you still have one week left to enter.
Honestly, I haven’t promoted this contest like I normally do with others and since I made it a little harder to enter I haven’t gotten as many contestants. Quite frankly, I did that on purpose as a minor experiment which I will mention sometime after the contest.
In addition, I’m going to increase the entry points on e-mail subscribers and people who wrote blog posts on the contest. I was having a discussion with a few bloggers and they’re right, I made those entry points too low. So, I will be increasing e-mail subscribers from 1 to 3 entries and blogging about the contest from 2 to 5 entries.
But please keep in mind, if you are already an e-mail subscriber you need to comment on the blog post to confirm you are an active e-mail subscriber. And please comment with the same e-mail you subscribed with.
I don’t know how many people have checked the contest post lately but I recently added an additional way to enter. All you have to do is sign up through my affiliate link for SWATcash and you get an easy 10 entries.
If you guys don’t know what SWATcash is, I will probably write a future post on the benefits of it.
But I’ve been pretty busy lately as well because I went a little crazy on purchasing domain names and building niche sites for those. I think I probably bought close to 10 domain names within the past week, week and a half.
And let’s say, after doing my keyword research, buying domains and building these niche sites, I see why people won’t give up their URL’s for their landing pages. I’ll save that for a later post though.
Anyways, if you haven’t entered my contest for a chance to win a Nintendo Wii , I would suggest doing so. And if you don’t want a Nintendo Wii, well, you don’t want a Nintendo Wii. 
What in the hell? “Getting Approved?!”
Yup, you heard right. It’s the “Getting Approved” contest. Now let me explain.
I kept telling you guys that I wanted to make contests fun but this time around I didn’t want to make it so easy that a random person could possibly win for doing absolutely nothing. I preach for my loyal readers and visitors so I figured you guys definitely wouldn’t mind doing an extra step for a chance to win this Nintendo Wii.
Don’t worry, all the ways to enter is easy, it’s getting approved that’s going to be the hard part… well, not really.
Basically, to enter, you will have to sign up for something and get approved for it. Don’t worry, everything is absolutely free, all of these things are easy to get approved for and most importantly, you can earn money for each option.
Not only am I having another blog contest sponsored by Market Leverage, but tons of other blogs are having similar ones with various prizes. I will be launching my contest within the next day or two. I know some people are excepting an easy contest but I think I’m going to make a little harder this time around.
But in the meantime, you can check out these other great Market Leverage contests. Check out the list of Market Leverage blog contests that I have found below:
Bloggin-Ads.com is not only going to be selling his blog but he’s having a Market Leverage contest giveaway to go out with a bang. So, you will only have a few days left before a new owner fills in the shoes of Mike. Prizes include an iPod Touch, rewards card and iTunes gift card.
Hurry! That deadline is July 27th.
Enkayblog.com is another blogger collaborating with Market Leverage to give away great prizes. His prizes include a Laptop (yup, a freakin’ Laptop!), a rewards card and USB pens. If you write a post, make sure to include a link to his post and Market Leverage.
That deadline is August 4th.
Myinvestingblog.com is hosting a ML contest and giving out $300 worth of rewards card. There are plenty of choices but it all surrounds answering the question “If you were given $50,000 today, what would you spend it on?” Well, personally I’d pay off all my debts and invest my money into new online projects.
That deadline is August 6th.
Inspiredmoneymaker.com is having a ML contest with similar prizes to my first ML contest. The prizes include a Flip Mino, rewards card and USB Pens. Wait, where’s the iPod? I guess it’s not exactly like mine. But it’s a easy as commenting to enter.
That deadline is August 14th.
TylerCruz.com looks like he’s having an Affiliate Marketing Challenge Season 2, too bad many of us are already members of ML. And to think, some of his prizes are pretty good – 22” Monitor, Sony PSP, Flip Mino, iPod Nano, $100 reward cards and USB Pens.
If you guys want a chance to win a USB Pen, you can write an entire post about his competition. And it can’t be a small mention within another post like I’m doing. Well Tyler, I don’t need a USB Pen! Shoot, lucky I’m giving his contest a shout out lol!
That deadline is August 14th.
Theuniversitykid.com is having a simple ML contest and unlike all others, his is actually for a relatively good cause. He’s helping Debby and Jen of Market Leverage with their breast cancer money raising. Well, kind of. But check out his post for the details, again, it’s easy to enter and it’s going to a good cause.
His prizes include a Nintendo Wii and a Flip Mino. Oh, I’m supposed to mention one reason why Market Leverage and TUK rock… well, that’s easy, they’re made of stone. No? Not funny? Fine, fine, ML rocks cause they’re one of the hottest affiliate networks and TUK rocks because he’s going to magically draw my name out the randomizer to win the Nintendo Wii.
That deadline is August 15th.
MixedMarketarts.com is having a ML contest with prizes that include a Flip Mino, 10 USB Pens and 4 $25 gift cards. Collin redid his blog contest so everyone can enter. You can enter simply by linking to his Marketleverage Review page with a blog post. See, just as simple as that!
That deadline is August 20th.
Don’t worry, I’ll be announcing my own ML contest tomorrow or the next day to win that Nintendo Wii. Check back or just subscribe to my RSS Feeds.
