Ok I think it’s time to launch this competition! For the past month a half I have been working hard collecting prizes for you guys to win. I was plucking up the courage before to ask some very reputable blogs and companies but as I wrote you should never be afraid to do anything. I wrote emails around and within days I had collected over $1000 worth of prizes ready to give away.

I then let the days go by and a steady flow of prizes built up to $2364 worth of prizes!

Well I’m not going to make this post massive and I’ll just highlight the key information you want. Lets see how you can enter.

Entry Methods
I learnt a lot from my last competition and the ways I should collect entries and I’m going to make them simple for you!

• 1. Subscribe to the blog via Email (1 Entry)
• 2. Write a blog post about the contest (2 Entries) Please include the list of people that donated to the contest, it’s only nice to do so HTML code here.

More Entry Methods
Throughout the month I’ll be giving people more ways of entering the contest which will be very simple to do; they will all increase your chance of winning the contest.

When does it End?
Let’s give people enough time to enter and run it for a while to maximize results.
I’m going to run the contest until 31st May 2008 so you have plenty of time.

Note to donators
If you wish to add more prizes to the fund, please drop me a message!

There you go! Simple! These are the two ways I want to keep track of websites and emails that enter the contest.

Right now it’s time for you to enter!
Have fun.

If you didn’t know already, there is a contest running at the moment to win a FREE Domain Name and a YouTube Niche Video Site which you can enter very simply!

Back to the 50,000 Entrecard credits, I haven’t quite got them yet! This is where you come in. I’m aiming high in my bid to collect as many Entrecard credits as I can which I will then give away in a huge contest at the end of April. I want a lot, not quite 50,000, but that would be nice. As long as I can get over 10,000 I’ll be happy.

I’m not just expecting you to donate and get nothing at all back! When I post the contest, I will be publishing all the donator’s websites in a blog post. I’ll be giving people who enter the contest an option to write a blog post about it and they will have to copy the donators list with website links into their post. Depending on the amount of people entering, you could build quite a few links back to your blog!

I still have to plan it a bit more and see what ideas I can come up with but I need to build the credits first! If you could donate, it would be much appreciated! I will write you a message to confirm I’ve received your credits and I always update the totals I have received!

Total donations so far: 8418
To donate simply go here.

Thanks!
Make sure you subscribe for when I post the contest.

The Prize I would like the Most

$100 PayPal Cash by The Profit Hustler

There are so many things I wish to buy and there are a few bills to be paid in regards to my hosting and other projects that I wish to fulfill. I don’t mind anything that I get at all, it’s the taking part that counts, although the advertising, Entrecard credits, themes, reviews, consulting, SEO Book look very very very nice.

Theres so much you can win, head on over to Jason’s blog and look around.

It seems the right time to start my blog contest which I’m hoping will be a success. Near on two weeks ago, I won a contest at Aruntheace. In that contest I won a FREE domain name and a YouTube Niche Video Site that can be installed in just 6 clicks. I’m not in need of these prizes and I thought it would be a nice prize to give away to someone who reads my site. The entry methods are very simple I will pick the winner by using Random.org on the 10th April 2008.

Your OWN Domain
You have the chance to register your own domain and use it with the site or however you wish. Maybe you just want the domain and not the site? It’s entirely up to you.

What is a YouTube Niche Video Site?
Arun has written a post here that will give you an insight to how a YouTube Niche Video works and can earn you money! I’m no expert in this but it seems a simple way of making money online. It comes with a free domain to register related to your Niche so you’ll be online within hours! If you would like to look at an example YouTube Niche Video Site, here is karatevideos.info.

You WIN BOTH.

Ways you can Enter
There are a few ways you can enter the contest. Each entry is worth a number of entries. For example if a entry method is worth 10 entries, then your email/website will be entered 10 times into Random.org. The more things you do to enter, the bigger the chance you have of winning! They are listed below:

• Subscribe to my RSS feed by Email (10 Entries).
• Write a blog post about my contest* and include a link (15 Entries).
• Write a comment on a blog post here (2 Entries for every comment).
• Write a recommendation and favourite me on Entrecard (5 Entries).

Let me know via a comment that you have done this and include a link to your Entrecard profile.

*I’ll show link love to every person that enters my blog contest by writing a post where I will collectively display all the links to your blogs!

Good luck and get entering!
