Earn More Points To Help You Win A Prize

by Mark Sierra on August 11, 2008

Well, the day is almost here. I’ll be announcing the winners of my contest this coming weekend. Will you win the iPod Nano? The Garmin GPS? Or one of the many other wonderful prizes I have to offer?

How would you like to earn a few more points to help tip the scales in your favor?

Before I tell you how, I want to remind those of you who have subscribed to my newsletter that if you don’t confirm your subscription, you will unfortunately not be able to claim the 50 points for that type of entry. As of right now, there are six (6) unconfirmed subscribers to my newsletter.

And while I don’t know the number of unconfirmed email subscriptions to my RSS feed (at least right now), the same holds true for confirming your subscription there as well. So when I go to verify everyone’s points, if it turns out that subscriptions are not confirmed…well, you get the idea. Don’t miss out and confirm those subscriptions! ;)

Now, here are a couple of ways you can earn some EXTRA points:

  • 10 points: Follow me on Twitter AND twit (is that even a word?) my contest post. Leave a comment here with your username so I can keep proper track.
  • 10 points: Subscribe to me on friendfeed. Leave a comment here with your username so I can keep proper track.

Of course, I’ll follow or subscribe to you as well. :)

BONUS: the first 20 people who do one or both of the above AND comment on this post telling me about it will get double points. So if you follow me on Twitter, for example, comment here telling me so, AND are one of the first 20 people to do that, you’ll get 20 points instead of 10. If you do both tasks, you could get up to 40 points!!
