Cash contests and guest blogging seem to be the perfect combination these days. Just after one and one and another one have been done, it seems that new guest blogging cash contests keep on springing all over. So for this edition, it’s Blog Engage turn to host its own contest. You can read more about the contest here.
So basically it’s just pretty much the same (as far as rules) as with the other guest blogging contests. In order to win, you have to put in a superb guest article and you have to promote it.
Contest Prizes and Awards
2 year free hosting (3 GB space/15 GB bandwith) + 1 free domain
Leading Travel Directory for Travel Websites
Other prizes: Non-Cash Sponsors
One year membership at Elegant Themes From Nick
Free Blog Review at Bloggeries Blog Forum
One Year Free of HostGator’s Business Web Hosting Plan (a $179.40 value)
So that’s it, make sure you don’t miss it out and please do support me in the contest. As always I just don’t join contests, I try to win them too. 🙂 And it doesn’t end there, I actually hand out superb value by writing a really good article so make sure to check out my post entry there and let me know what you think
Hey Melvin Just checked the contest via your post. Dont you think they are asking too much. Guest post, post on ur blog, right anchor links, reply every one, promote them, share with ur followers. I believe thats just too much!

That’s not too much Himanshu, promoting the blog post will get you win the contest, that’s the point. You can just write the guest post and leave it there, but the chance you win the contest will be pretty low. 🙂
Good luck Melvin! I’ll be joining the contest as well if time allows.
Regards,
Lee

@himanshu well it depends really on how you think of it. For me it can be too much when you have to blog about the contest and link out to sponsors that you don’t even know yet. But its a case to case basis I guess.
The one who ran the contest is a good friend of mine, I know some of the sponsors there so I don’t mind linking out to them. And as Lee said, everything is just about trying to win the contest.

Hey Ileane, thanks for the heads up! Will fix that soon and thanks! 🙂
Awesome list of prizes.
It seems to enter you have to be a paying member, right?
I was hoping it’d be a contest open to all.
