Why you should enter contests and how to keep track of them

Posted 24th March 2008 | 4 Comments

Another contest and another price , I seem to be one lucky guy :) , Recently I won 100 EC credits courtesy of MindBlogger and 20$ courtesy of W Revenue dot com.Its no big secret that holding contests are a great way to expand your blog readership , but I found out that joining blog contests are also a great way to expand your blog.I have being running this blog for about 4 months now and I have already won 2 reviews , about 4-5 text link ads and the number of Entre card credits I cant even recall.And have won 150$ up to now from three contests.The prizes maybe small but by prizes like reviews you get exposed to their sites readers and if you got a good review like me :) you might end up having few more readers to your blog.

The problem is how to keep track of these contests ? If you are a busy blogger or a slacker the biggest problem is keeping track of these things , but you don't have to worry because there are plenty of sites that keeps track of these contest for you.Listed below are the sites I use to keep track of contests around the blog sphere.

MyBlogContest.com

The first contest notification I joined by e-mail , and up to now have provided a steady stream of information about the contests around the blog sphere.The contest details are broken up into parts like how to win , how to enter , deadline and etc so its pretty easy to understand.The website is not cluttered with ads and you can submit your own contests for free and for 5$ you can get a feature entry where you are given a text link in the sidebar.

A.B.C-About Blog Contests

A website I recently signed up with and already have provided me some nice information about web contests.You want hear about blog contests everyday from this site which is kind of strange since there are plenty of contests out there , but the ones that are mentioned are worth joining,suitable for people who want to join contests but are too lazy to dedicate some time everyday.

Indo Contest

Not a web site totally dedicated to delivering information about contests because you'll find posts about other money making methods posted here and there.So if you are looking only for contests better to skip this one , but if you are looking for money making opportunities worth visiting often.

There are plenty more websites like this out so if you are using one other than this I would like to hear about them.

Since I'm subscribed to many sites like this you must be thinking I always blog about blog contest to win prized.But the truth is I only blog about few , contest where the prizes are worth winning and contests where I can be assured or at least have a very good chance of winning a prize.I visit all those sites because then I can choose the best ones which I can blog about.After selecting those I add them to a spreadsheet in my Google documents with the URL and the deadline so I can easily keep track of them.

Contest Document

Well now you know which contest I'm going to participate next :) .I've had plenty of success managing my contests this way and I think you could enjoy the same success if you learn to manage your contests properly.And again if you are using a another website to track these contest please leave a comment about it.

Please share with your friends and help me spread the word

    You have misunderstood me , although you get to know about them everyday you have to select the ones you want to participate , so better to list down the ones you are participating.

    I blog about contests and giveaways I find along the way out here in blogshere!
    Also if something exciting in my life happens in my life(like that happens much:). Like my first trip overseas to Italy to visit my daughter in the military along with the new grandbaby! Being able to stay with her made the trip a little cheaper too!
    So stop by and check out my site.
    I do win on blog contests too.
