Win $25 Cash Money!

Posted by Jeflin on August 2, 2008

I just concluded my first contest and my RSS subscribers did increase from a miserly single-digit to 20. I am quite contended even though, this is nothing to crow about, if measured against a professional marketer.

Anyway, to keep the momentum going, I will launch a second contest. This time, I will offer some cash money and Entrecard credits. Any blogger can enter to win this $25 via paypal and 2000 Entrecard credits. Winner will be chosen and announced at the end of the month.

Once again, the contest rules are simple. Yes, I love to keep things simple.

To enter, just

1. Subscribe to my RSS Feed. If you have done so, you are entered too.

2. Write a post spreading word of this contest to others in the blogosphere. Your post must contain a link back to this post.

3. Leave a comment in this post and the link which you have written the contest for me to verify.

4. Please announce the winning in your blog, to ensure the money is really paid out.

That is all for the rules. Good luck to all participants.

Winner Of My First Contest

Posted by Jeflin on July 31, 2008

My first contest – 1000 Entrecard credits Giveaway has ended. It is a really simple contest, just subscribe to my RSS feed and then I choose the winner randomly.

Alright, here is the winner of my first contest: Sherry from Sherry Rambling. She shares her thoughts, ramblings and other interesting things in this blog. In her latest post, she reveals her tentative efforts in changing her blogger template.

After catching a glimpse of her new template, I think it looks pretty impressive. Check out how she is doing, you may find her post useful, especially if you are eager to change your standard blogger template but have limited knowledge of html.

It is ok to take baby steps. Just don’t forget to back up your original template, in case you mess up. :)

Stay tuned for my second contest. And carry on dropping Entrecards on my blog.

More Goodies For My First Entrecard Contest

Posted by Jeflin on July 26, 2008

This is just a quick update for my first contest of 1000 Entrecard credits giveaway. So far, the response is satisfactory as I saw a steady increase in subscriber count.

I hope the majority who subscribed to my blog did so because of my content. A contest should serve only as a small motivation, ultimately I want a community of friends who spend time reading and leaving comments on my blog.

With 5 more days left, you still have a chance to subscribe and be the winner. To sweeten the deal, I will give every e-mail subscribers 50 ECs.

So just join the contest, there is nothing to lose.

Bull Versus Bear Battle Rages On

Posted by Jeflin on June 5, 2008

Bull vs Bear battle rages on in the Singapore stock exchange. The Straits Times Index increased by a mere 9.09 points to 3143.89. Trading volume was weak at 1002.7 million. Gainers/Losers stood at 234/268.

To me, such a market performance is poor especially when we consider a multitude of positive news for the US economy.

Featuring Top Entrecard Droppers

Posted by Jeflin on May 29, 2008

I have been using Entrecard for close to two weeks and I consider myself to be a pretty active user in terms of dropping cards and placing advertisements. The reciprocal traffic vs cards dropped is 151/450, so the promotion aspect is satisfactory for me.

More important than pure numbers, I do wonder if other bloggers really stop by my blog to read the content or just drop their cards and move on quickly. I made it a point myself to pause and read what other bloggers are writing about, drop a card and comment.

In this way, I may not rack up as many dropped cards in a day (max is 300 but I have not managed even half of that), but I am able to leave a deeper impression on the other blog owners.

Starting next Saturday, I want to provide a better user experience and thank Entrecard users who visited my blog. I will be featuring, on a weekly basis, the top three Entrecard sites who dropped their cards here. So guys and girls, go on and drop your cards here.

I am also considering starting a contest some time later, stay tuned.

-> Check out my first contest here. Winner: Sherry Rambling.

-> Here is my second contest.
