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.

So, here we go with another great contest sponsored by the one and only Market Leverage . Now, I always like to come up with some fun things for contests and try to separate myself from all the rest. With that said, I decided to go with the Market Leverage and DatMoney “Getting Approved” Contest to win this brand new 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 27^th.

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 4^th.

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 6^th.

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 14^th.

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 14^th.

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 15^th.

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 20^th.

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.

I don’t want to say it’s unfortunate, but it’s pretty unfortunate. I hate deciding from two great prizes for the next contest that I will be hosting, sponsored by the one and only Market Leverage. I let you guys vote between the Nintendo Wii and iPod Touch and if I counted right (or wrong), the majority of the votes went in favor for the Nintendo Wii.

I know I originally favored the Wii before the voting begun but as time passed, I started to favor the iPod Touch a little bit. I mean, I was looking at specs for it and it’s a great device. I also had countless discussions with people on which was better and more helpful, etc. When it came down to it, from a professional standpoint of a webmaster and online entrepreneur, the iPod Touch was definitely the way to go.

But then it hit me, I can’t win my own contest so why does it matter? That’s why I left it up to you guys to vote because one of you guys will be the winner of this great prize. Well, let’s hope it’s one of my regular readers instead of a drive-by contestant.

I apologize for those iPod Touch voters, I was truly favoring that product. I know I can overturn the decision but I’m the type to let my readers speak, and if you speak enough or loud enough then you’ll be heard. And according to the votes, you have been heard so the Nintendo Wii will be the prize for my upcoming contest.

I haven’t decided how I’m going to run the contest just yet. The last couple of contests I ran was fairly easy. I did it that way because who likes to enter a contest that requires you to do so much, right? But I may consider doing something that will benefit the contestants as well as myself, and of course, our one and only sponsor, Market Leverage.

I like to come up with creative contests or at least something fun. If you guys have any ideas, feel free to toss out the ideas, maybe that will help me in deciding what the contest will be about or how I’m going to run it. Either way, I’ll make up my mind this week so feel free to check back or just subscribe to my RSS Feeds. Who knows, maybe I’ll make that as a requirement.

(And look out all Market Leverage sponsored contest blogs, I’ll be entering ALL of them since I can’t enter my own!)

Recently, I asked people to choose between a Nintendo Wii, iPod Touch, Flip Mino or $300 Rewards Card and quite a few people responded, so thank you to those that took their time to answer. I decided to take people’s first and second choice so people wouldn’t have such a hard time deciding just one prize. But I ran into a dilemma, there is a tie with 14 votes a piece between the iPod Touch and Nintendo Wii. I need you guys to pick between those two.

I was going to pick the Nintendo Wii originally because I wanted to bring in a different audience to this blog, but I wanted to give you guys the voice to choose what you preferred. According to my count of peoples’ first and second choices, the votes tallied as follow:

Nintendo Wii - 14 votes
iPod Touch - 14 votes
$300 Gift Card - 9 votes
Flip Mino - 4 votes
USB Pen - didn’t even get included lol

So, obviously I’m going to be having a contest with a prize of either a Nintedo Wii or an iPod Touch, I just need you guys to determine which one.

I also haven’t decided how I’m going to run the contest but like my other ones, I try to make it unique and somewhat fun. Though, this time I may have you guys do a little extra work

But let me know! Again, choose only one prize between the two.
