BloggerNoob’s Random Winners
I will start a new Category. I already have a lot of categories and i know i need to clean that up soon, but i wanted to add a new one. It will be called Winners. Everybody loves to win right? I like doing contests for my visitors and such, but i was thinking about a different type of contest. Usually, you have to do something for the blogger in order to enter the contest. Either subscribe to RSS or Write about them or link to their blog. I was thinking, what if…WHAT IF you could enter a contest with out doing anything. Great idea right? Don’t steal this idea guys. Tis mine! I’ll award people who have read and commented on my blog in the past. Brilliant!
So every once in a while, i will award a prize to a random visitor of my blog. How will i know you visited my blog? By looking at the comments. That’s why it’s important to leave your URL on the comments guys. I will start this today by awarding someone who visited and commented on my blog. I will do this on a regular but random basis. Also, i will give you 24 hours to claim your prize. If you don’t claim the prize in 24 hours i will select another reader to award the prize to. The prize isn’t anything special, just $5 bucks, but it is something. And it required no effort on your part. You can get a happy meal or a coffee at starbucks. I will send the payment via paypal. Today’s winner is Allyn Paul. Com’on down and claim your prize!

Man, the things I could do if I won! I never won anything on the web. If I win I could post “Winner of the Make Money Blog random drawing” on my blog. I’ll be back in 24 hrs to see if I won.

Great idea to hear from your readers noob. I hope that people dont just write dribble in order to get the prize.
January 4th, 2008 at 11:40 am
colin- never won anything? you should enter more contests. there’s like a hundred contests everyday. most bloggers run contests to up rss or get some link love. i’m sure you’ll win one of these.
iad madrigal- no prob. hope you have an inspirational year as well.
tim christie- thanks tim. i’m going to filter out the spam comments so my read readers can enjoy my little prizes.

Wow! BloggerNoob you’re a smart guy. Seriously, now you’re able to hand out a prizes knowing full well that blogs will link back with what they’ve won.
Be sure to hand out prizes to those who show you support. After all, wouldn’t you look a lot like Chow if you didn’t? That would be hypocritical of you now wouldn’t it?

When I started to read your post, I first felt that its your typical win x00 Entrecard credits, but by turning out real cash through PayPal is probably going to create interesting boost to number of readers.

Nifty idea, BN!
January 5th, 2008 at 4:31 am
Amazing. Always thinking, always researching, and sharing nifty ideas. What I want to know is, how do you crank out so many posts a day?
I couldn’t possibly keep up if I hadn’t subscribed via email. I’m afraid of rss feeds in case I go away and don’t have all day access.
