Blogging Tips 101 Contest: Announcing The Winners

March 19, 2012 by Jane Sheeba 66 Comments

When I first got this contest idea in mind, I was excited. Since this is the first contest I was going to run, I had a mixed feeling of fear and excitement. I was not sure how to take the right steps.

The big things of concern are finding sponsors for the contest and getting people to participate. Since blogging contests are getting so popular (and as well so common) I was in doubt if anyone will step in to participate.

Finding sponsors for the contest

As I said, this is one of the most challenging bits. Let it be money, or products, you cannot easily get people to say "yes". But in my case, I was lucky (or should I say I followed a success strategy?). Given that this is the first contest I'm conducting at this blog, the prize money and the bonus product prizes offered are really cool in amount and value.

I did a brief consultation with Hesham of Famous … [Read more...]

Blogging Tips 101 Contest Update: Change In Dates

February 2, 2012 by Jane Sheeba 18 Comments

As you all know the "Blogging Tips 101 Contest" started on 1st January, 2012. The contest in is its peak now. The last date for the submission of contest entries was/is 31st January, 2012 and I've got all submissions.

The contest participants, whose post are published are already geared up and doing a great job. And as of now, I have got posts scheduled until 15th February, 2012. I saw that mostly I scheduled posts only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. These are my usual blog updating days on Problogging Success.

So I thought I'd stick to that. Plus I want each contest post to get at least one day exposure before the next post comes on top. And this is why I also avoided publishing contest posts on weekends; the amount of exposure could be lesser.

“One's best success comes after their greatest disappointments.” –Henry Ward Beecher

What happened to all the bloggers?

Just recently I decided to categorize my RSS feeds I had in my reader. As I did this I rediscovered blogs I had forgotten but I also found that many blogs I had grown to love had stopped posting.

What occurred to make these bloggers feel they needed to cease writing?

Then another and another. I found many blogs with the latest post talking about the writer’s favorite subject, then nothing … [Read more...]
