Contest Roundup: You Don’t Want To Miss These

February 12, 2008

Contest Roundup: You Don't Want To Miss These I announced my birthday blog contest last week and I’d say I’ve received a pretty good response thus far. It doesn’t end until February 20, so there’s plenty of time to enter.

Since then, I’ve learned about some great resources where I could advertise my contest. One of the things I like about some of the ones I submitted to is the speed in which they posted about it on their blogs. Plus, a couple of them took the time to come over here to leave a comment letting me know. Now that’s a personal touch I didn’t expect. My Blog Contest and Contest Hub were among the first.

Looking for places to promote your contest? In addition to giving the previous two a try, look at these resources:

A couple of my friends are also running contests that I think you’ll be interested in.

Kontera In-Text Advertising
UPDATED: Matthew from Blog About Your Blog is promoting a contest that Kontera is putting on. The prize is everybody’s favorite: money! If you have the winning video, you get $500. Second prize, $250, and third, $100.

Blogging Gal
Then there’s Tish from Blogging Gal who is offering the winner a review of their blog in addition to prime advertising placement on her blog (just look for my drum and you’ll see what I mean). All you have to do is subscribe to her feed. What could be easier than that?

BlogsWeLuv
Another one run by Tish and partnering with Mike, 1,000 Entrecard credits stand in the balance along with a review of your blog on BWL. If you haven’t been there in a while, you’ll be pleased to see the things that have been done to the place in addition to getting to know other great bloggers.

UPDATED: I almost forgot! Bush Mackel is also putting on a contest to celebrate his blog’s birthday as well. He’s not telling what the prizes are, but he’s got a clever way to build up the mystery to it. Check out his post to find out more.

I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.

The top 20 contest blogs list is a little outdated, but a good thing to have nonetheless.

hey Mark,

I’ll get my stuff done for your contest asap, but there is a problem that I think you and a few others didn’t think about. Not everybody has an Entrecard account, me included.

It seems that all contests here lately are giving away entrecard entries, and that’s great for those involved. But what about those of us who don’t have an account nor really want one?

Well, I have to go put up the balloons for your upcoming birthday party. I was told that I was in charge of decorations, but that could just be a rumor. LOL

@Matthew
Oops, sorry about that! Got it fixed now.
@Alejandro
Thanks for commenting! Yep, I got the walking and talking thing down now. LOL

@Christine
Well hello there! You’re right — Entrecard credits aren’t of much use to non-Entrecard members. I suppose I could let the non-Entrecard winner choose a charity I can donate the credits to.
And I hear you’re great at decorations. I’m so excited! Tell me when I can open my eyes, okay? LOL

You are quite welcome, Miss Tish. I’m still hoping to see the number of subscriptions rise, but I finally broke 200 the other day. That was a nice milestone.

You gotta love those contest announcement blogs!

Glad to hear your contest is doing well so far, and thanks for sharing those other contests with us. Right now on my blog I’m asking for guest posters and the post that gets the most traffic wins its author some free advertising space. It’s not much but I thought I’d give it a shot. I’ve sort of been lacking in the quality content department lately!

Thanks again Mark, and good luck with your contest and good luck to everyone else as well. There have been lots of contests lately!
