Wow things are heating up on the contest scene and here's another excellent contest you don't want to miss out. Remember the last contest I promoted thru Market Leverage's site? He's back again together with his buddy the University Kid.
They simply amaze me that every time I head to their respective websites I always get suprised with something really good. May it be the coolest knowledge on how to earn money or to the craziest contest available on the net. Speaking of contest. I really love Nintendo Wii and hopefully I can get a chance on taking one home cuz I already signed up for their contest :)
So without further ado here's the mechanics of the contest:
Go go go go go!
(As described by University Kid)
Today’s the 15th and as I promised, this means a cracking contest kicks off. Most of you will have heard of Market Leverage; they’ve been taking the blogosphere by storm, and when I asked them to sponsor something for you guys they were happy to agree. They’re definitely becoming known as one of the best affiliate networks out there, and if you haven’t signed up - do so now. 
The thing about other contests is that they’re really selfish - generally, the sole purpose of the contest is to help the blogger. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that, but here’s a contest where you can make a difference… and win a Nintendo Wii and a Flip Mino.
At the present moment, there’s a contest going on called Blogging Idol, with around 100 participants and more than $3,000 in prizes (including spare cash).
Two affiliate managers at Market Leverage - Debby Phillips and Jen Fluker - are training for a 60 mile walk to raise money for breast cancer. They’re looking to raise $45,000 and as of July 7th they had raised $25,000 - if they win Blogging Idol, all prize money will be donated to the cause.
Personally, I never entered to win the prizes, just for the feeling of competition - so if I win, I will also donate all prize money to the fund raising for their breast cancer walk.
This is where you come in! The goal of the competition is to see which blogger can increase readership the most - at the moment, Debby and Jen have seen a readership increase of around 20 readers, and I’ve seen a readership increase of around 60~. By helping them out, you can win two of the hottest tech gadgets around.
First place winner will get a Nintendo Wii. The Wii is one of the most popular consoles around as it not just allows people to face off against each other by physically playing games, but can also be a good way to get into shape. Market Leverage will ship one to your door if you win.
Second place winner will get a Flip Mino. The Mino is a the most advanced Flip camera, with rechargeable batteries, a sleek look and USB enabled so that you can plug it into your computer after taking videos or pictures. I myself won one a few days ago and can’t wait to receive it
I don’t like complicated contests, and neither do most of you, I’d think. Which is why I wanted to make this as easy as possible to enter - no jumping through flaming hoops. There are three ways to get entries; each entry counts as your name being put down once in a randomizer. At the end of the month, I’ll choose two names using Random.org (hopefully on video).
