Blog Contest = Blog Traffic = Blog Revenue

Posted by Unknown at 1:10 AM 2 comments

There have been various strategies implemented by many bloggers to get the required readers a blogger aims at. One of these methods which has been very successful and has been implemented by bloggers in the past is the holding of a contest on your blog. The traffic gets directed by search engines and also through word of mouth because every human wants to earn a prize or say a reward for that matter. Thus, ‘holding a contest strategy’ is actually a win-win situation for both the blogger and the readers.

Let’s face it, for bloggers who would love to monetize his blog and earn lots of “moolah”, one needs a constant traffic. This traffic will not only result in popularity but also helps in generating that much needed blogging revenue. The constant visit and presence of the visitors and the increasing surge of visitors are just a few satisfaction for a blogger in return for all the effort and hard work.

To get that much needed traffic, one has to work hard to get it. Aside from meaty and interesting write-ups. The blogger needs to give that push to be felt in the blogosphere. Some bloggers opt to do the SEO thing, but for non-techie like me, I want to do it the easy way. One way to attract visitors is to hold a blog contest.

The holiday season is just around the corner and now is the right time to kick of that contest. Here are some tips that might work for you.

  1. Simple mechanics to join - It is not enough to hold that contest to attract your readers. They will not participate if they feel that it is too complicated. Try to make it as simple as possible. Do not let your readers sign on too many subscriptions, apart from it is a bore. They might just leave your site and never to go back again, because of that hard push. Make it simple, keep it fun.
  2. Give Away Prizes – Who does not want to win a prize and to get a gift. Ofcourse, everyone has a child within us. That gift will give your contest a much needed boost. You can go to as much as the most expensive ( techie gadgets, laptops, etc) or some opt to give practical give aways like discount coupons. I find it to be a practical give away since the winner of your contest will be given the liberty to choose on the items that he/she finds to be useful to him/her from different stores (like Amazon, Walmart, Buy.com, Cooking.com etc, etc). An attractive price is a good motivation for your visitors to participate.
  3. Deadlines – set a deadline, no one wants to join a contest whereas they do not know when will it end and get the results/
  4. Promotion – They will never know what is up in your blog, if you will not let others know it. Publicize if you can. Attract others to participate.

A blog contest is a good blog traffic builder. So what are you waiting for, strategize now and plan for a blog Contest. Surely, Webbycontest will join……..

Posted by Cielo at 10:37 PM 0 comments

We have many dNeero-ites in East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia. We'd like to reach out to you with dNeero convos, but we need your help with the questions and topics of discussion. This is very important to our clients that wish to engage with you via our conversations. By joining this convo you'll let us know what you'd like to see in dNeero convos that are oriented to the Asian dNeero-ite. But please note that, at this point, dNeero conversations are in English, and therefore it is not acceptable practice to post a dNeero conversation to other than an English blog or social site.

Being a Filipino, I find this conversation to be very interesting ......

Discovering Paying Post

Posted by Cielo at 1:36 AM 1 comments

I have discovered another program which pays for the things that bloggers want to do – what else? Writing of course. Just like others it is my passion. I started blogging with just my passion in mind. I have consistently and actively blogging for nearly 3 years now and only a year did I realize that I can really be paid to do the thing which I do love. From them on I have never stopped writing and looking for programs that can give me a chance to earn thru writing.

Thanks to my constant bloghopping and I discovered Paying Post – a blogging advertising network where bloggers get paid to post.

Being a part of it is as easy as 1-2-3,

1. Go to their site and apply for a free account
2. Wait for the verification if your site is accepted (it is really fast believe me; this one of the thing which I admire with this program, they respond promptly....enough of those waiting time)
3. Write a post about an interesting product which Paying Post will assign to you and get paid in doing it.

Aside from the moolah which will be paid directly into your PayPal account on the first day of each month and there are even opportunities to get bonuses. The best post each pay period will earn an extra 25 (twenty-five) dollars included in their payout. Isn’t that great?

If you want to earn more they also have

Aside from writing reviews / posts, PayingPost.com is also offering another way to earn money from your blog through its affiliation program. Simply tell your friend about PayingPost by creating an affiliate account and posting one of their banners on your site. You will start earning when someone creates an advertiser account under your account. The possibilities on earning is basically endless.

So what are you waiting for….Get it on!!!
