Learn How Contests Can Drive Traffic, Plus Win a Free PC Game!

Contests provide much more than just a prize at the end of the sweepstakes. Using contests as a viral marketing tool for your business can bring awareness to your brand, attention to your products and can create a frenzy of customers who are willingly spreading the word about your website, products, services or online niche.

All you have to do is come up with an idea for a contest prize. This prize doesn't need to be worth hundreds of dollars, though the more value your contest prize has, the more interest you will create for your customers! You can give away anything really; a promotional item such as a hat, a free subscription to your member site, a free copy of your ebook, some artwork, or a product bought at a discount from one of your affiliate sites.
It doesn't matter what you're giving away, people will flock to your website or store to have the opportunity to get something for free. Because free stuff doesn't come around every day! There's usually a catch. So when your visitors and customers understand that they can win your prize just for stopping by your site and following the short list of rules, they'll tell all their friends and you're suddenly getting massive traffic to your site.

A new software has just been released that makes this concept of viral marketing with contests an absolute breeze. Contest Burner is an amazing plugin that can be used on your website or Wordpress blog to help drive traffic using social media. Once you install the plugin, which is effortless, you can set up your contest and enter in the prizes. Contest Burner attaches itself to your Twitter and Facebook accounts and awards prizes when other people spread the word about your contest, using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other avenues.

If you know anything about Internet marketing and social media, you'll understand that this is huge! You can see it in action right on my blog where I'm running a contest to win a free, full-version PC game. It's very simple to earn points in the contest. All you have to do is tweet on Twitter, share on Facebook, comment on the blog, etc. Each of these tasks will earn you points, while at the same time, spreading the word about the blog and website brand. It's a win-win situation for any blogger, Internet marketing, website owner and all the customers they wish to introduce their products and services to.

The creator of this software really knew what he was doing. I'm amazed at the ease of functionality and how quickly the word spreads.

Feel free to come by, enter my contest for a free PC game, check out how Contest Burner operates and make the decision to change the way you do business by using viral marketing contests!

Vision Board Contest

I stumbled across a business opportunity that absolutely lines up with one of my favorite passions. It's a company founded by John Assaraf and Bonnie Bruderer and offers to teach people about the vision board experience.

Because I've experienced personal success with the vision board, I decided to enter the contest to win a heap of personal development products, as well as a shot at the business opportunity.

I'd LOVE to have your vote!!

Winning this contest will give me an even easier opportunity to share my story with the world. I believe we can all benefit from positive energy and the tools and resources provided by John Assaraf, who played an important role in the movie The Secret. If you haven't seen it, you must. It could be the first step toward a more focused and joyful life.

Additionally, I believe this is an awesome opportunity for you to learn about the tools and resources that John Assaraf has mastered and not only live a fuller and more meaningful life, but share this journey with others...just like I've dared to do. If my words can help one person to become more peaceful or joyful or happy, I'm satisfied.

Make Money Online Building Niche Blogs

If you run in MMO (make money online) circles, you've probably heard of Garry Conn. He is a brilliant internet marketer who shares his love of making money on the internet with anyone who's willing to take the time to read what he's got to say. Recently I stumbled across a post that he shared on building niche blogs to make money. I typically (in fact, ALWAYS) avoid buying anything that promises to change my online money making life, but something in my gut told me this guy was different. It turns out my intuition was dead on. Go intuition!

I got involved immediately by purchasing a 60-minute video that Garry was offering. Much to my surprise, and delight, Garry had his soon-to-be-famous 'lightbulb' moment and started a forum. Already this forum is full of TONS of great videos and documents with tips and tricks to make money online using the power of Wordpress to create blogs and static money-making webpages. Many great people have already signed up and we're sharing ideas and knowledge, and asking lots of questions!

Here's a little blurb from THE man himself:

When I first started blogging three years ago, I had a difficult time. Asking for advice or help from bigger and more popular bloggers was a challenge. It seemed like none of those guys would help let alone even give me the time of day. I am very competitive in nature and when I quickly started to see how things were in this little world we called the blogosphere, I felt more than happy to take on the challenge.

My goal was to make money blogging. It took me around a year to get to the point where I could say, "Yeah... I am making some money, but not a lot" and then about six months later things really started to take off. Fast forward to today, and I have been successfully making a very excellent living being a full time professional blogger. I own literally hundreds of blogs and sites and my monthly earnings have at times exceeded $10,000 / month.

I want to offer you an exclusive opportunity to learn from me. This offer gives you the ability to fast forward and bypass the mistakes I have made and learned from. If you are serious about making a career out of earning money on the Internet, consider joining my private membership site. I am confident that doing so will change your life.

Best Regards,
Garry Conn
