My first attempt at running a contest is coming along nicely with 9 submissions so far. One of the topics I asked people to write about is “why did you start your blog?” As fate would have it, I ran across another blogging contest that asks bloggers to fill out a 10 minute survey at whydoyoublog.com for a chance to win a prize. It’s run by Darren Barefoot and it is on the up-and-up. He’s the same guy who did the humorous “Get a First Life” Second Life send up that was making the rounds this week.
The Prizes
- One randomly-selected person who completes the survey will win an iPod Shuffle.
- Another randomly-selected survey completer will win two Lonely Planet books–Micronations and Experimental Travel
- I obviously want to promote the survey, so I’m also giving away one CAN $50 Amazon or iTunes gift certificate to a randomly-selected person who blogs about it. Just link to http://www.whydoyoublog.com and you’re qualified to win.
