If a Contest Has Over $2000 in Real Prizes, Will you Join?

If a Contest Has Over $2000 in Real Prizes, Will you Join?

by Melvin · May 27, 2010

How you doin? Well uhm today I just like to get some buzz through my contest. πŸ˜‰ Also I’d like to ask a couple of questions as well.

First is, if I am about run a contest with $2000+ at stake, will you join (competitively)? A little sidenote: by saying $2000+, what I mean here are real prizes. Im not the guy who asks Dick or Harry to sponsor 200 copies of their $10 cheesy eBook and add that up to the total. πŸ™‚

Second question, if you see that these are the people who will be sponsoring my contest, are you convinced enough to join?

Best Blog Contest

Most people’s answer is obviously a big YES (with a grin). But if you do, will you promise you’ll join competitively and not be lazy like most of the contestants who join contests and never win?

</end of buzz>

P.S. Many of my friends think the banner sucks? does it really?

    Hell yes, this will be awesome Melvin, (Provided you do it), still, the only reason i won’t do it is if its another one of these blog your heart out crazy guest posting competition. Thats probably the only exception. Otherwise, if its one of those awesome comment heaps competitions then i’m all in. (If its commenting, i will win… On a comp at Mextena.com, i got 61 comments in a week and won) If this is one awesome comp, i will do it.

    Nope. πŸ™‚ REAL means good quality prizes. It can be a service, a logo design, SEO consulting from reliable firms and stuffs.

    The prizes are definitely tempting, but it will be about what we have to do to enter. But mostly I love contests. And I just won 2nd prize over at Mike Roosa’s site about a week ago. So I’m probably in. And I will promote the contest when you give us the details.

    Details man, I need details! LOL

I would try and explain what competitively meant…i couldn’t see that….i need some marketing so i’d love to follow your efforts – cheers alan

    hehehe.. Unfortunately the list is final. But still Im shooting you an email for something. Wait for that.. πŸ˜€

    I’d definitely join the contest, but it depends on what we should do. Referring friends for me wouldn’t be good, an amount of visitors going to a referral link (without cheating!) would be better instead.

    So it depends, but with these kind of prizes, yes, I would join.

    Are sponsors allowed to join? If YES, then I’d certainly join. HAHA

    p.s. banner definitely needs some work. If you want, you could be the first customer of my BlogDesignTeam. Of course it’s still not launched, and of course, this is me plugging in. Niahaha >:)

    I usually judge the contest by how many people have entered…that way I can tell if I stand a good chance or not. πŸ˜€
