In the last post I talked a little bit about my upcoming contest and hinted at what the prize was going to be. In this post I will give a few facts about the contest and the prizes. There are still things in the pipeline though but I'll tell you what I know so far.
Contest Prizes and Entries
I've been contacting some people in this niche to see what I can work out and I am waiting for some to respond and still negotiating with others. What I do know so far is this...
For those of you that are signed up to my RSS feed by email prior to the actual contest start date I will be giving you 2 links in the stripe ad at the top of this site for 6 months minimum.
I realize there will be a lot of links pumping through there but they will all have equal shot of being shown. The links can be to practically any site you want, even affiliate links are acceptable. They will all be no follow . There will be some restrictions (very few) to what I will accept but rather than list the restrictions (because I haven't thought of them all) I will decide when you send me the links.
Anyone who signs up to the feed by email after the contest launch I will be giving one link in the stripe ad across the top. It's a nice way to give something extra to my existing readers plus the extra few readers that pop in before the official launch date.
With that said, signing up to my feed won't even be required for this contest. It will be only be required to get an ad across the top of the site.
Highest Number Of Entries
The person with the highest number of entries may not necessarily win the grand prize (because it only takes 1 to win!) but I still feel he or she deserves something a little extra. If you have the most entries I will be giving you an ad spot in rotation at the bottom of every post on this site for 3 months minimum. Just like the stripe ad you can link anywhere, including an affiliate program. In case of a tie I will have to randomly choose someone, unless there are very few. The Official Contest Post will be more specific.
Base Grand Prize
Here's what I will be giving the lucky winner myself:
- One year deluxe Linux hosting plan with GoDaddy - Host unlimited web sites. I will take care of all the technical details as well.
- 3 domain names of your choice
- 3 custom sites/blogs (I will get into more specifics about the 3 sites in a future post)
- 1 BANS license - (Build A Niche Store)
Now, I hope you are as excited about this as I am!
And so far 1 sponsor has committed to an awesome prize to complement this package. The prize is valued at $39. Richard from LP Creations agreed to design the winner a custom landing page and write a unique article for a niche of your choosing! Talk about generous. Thanks Richard!
I'll keep you updated with future prizes from sponsors.
What Do Sponsors Get Out Of It?
Besides the obvious exposure and perhaps some karma I will be writing a short review post about the product or service that they provide. The sponsor can decide on 2 anchor text phrases they would like me to use to link to their site. If you have a product or service that could compliment this package please contact me and let me know.
What do you think so far?
