EntreBlast

Archive for the ‘Contests’ Category

That’s right. Today is your last day to enter the Summer Credit Splash if you haven’t yet. Once you are done, report how many points you have and post it here. I noticed people started to post how many on points they had on the original post, and that’s fine too. One mistake people are making though is giving themselves 5 points for blogging about the contest and also the 10 points for blogging about the contest and listing all sponsors. You cannot earn points for both, you either blogged about it or you blogged about it and listed the sponsors. So if you think you have 15 points, you actually will receive 10 points from that.

If you have not reported how many points you have, please do so by Saturday. Either comment on this post or the original. Do not comment on both.

I will announce the winners next week. Good luck and thanks for participating!

The Prizes

The Sponsors

Like the name? So the last post mentioned an EntreBlast contest was just basically rambling. I was celebrating the entrance into the top 100k of Alexa and the next thing you know I’m asking for a bunch of different stuff to sponsor a huge giveaway. Well, I’ve now come to my senses and I realize that I don’t want to giveaway a ton of variety of stuff- that would just make it confusing and potentially disastrous. Let’s stick with just Entrecard credits.

Donate to the EntreBlast Summer Credit Splash

You can donate ECs to the contest via my Entrecard profile. Then click on ‘Give Credits to This Site’. Your credits will remain securely in my account and I will distribute all EC prizes to the winners. It’s preferable that you donate in even 00 increments (100, 200, 400, 1000, 5000, etc). Any amount of ECs is appreciated! However, if you want a link to your blog on the sponsors list there is a minimum required! These are set to shorten the list and reward those that helped support the contest the most!

400 or less: Thanks for the donation! You won’t appear on the sponsors list but we’ll still thank you.

500: Minimum to appear on sponsors list. You’ll be on the list but it won’t be required for contest entrants to link to you when they publish the list on their blog. This is to shorten the list so it’s not spammy looking.

1000 (to 4000): Thanks! You’ll appear on the sponsors list and be included in the link-to-sponsors-for-an-entry section.

5000 (to 9000): Awesome! Thanks for sponsoring! You’ll appear higher on the list in a separated section.

10,000+: Wow! You’ll be on the top of the list plus you’ll receive a month’s worth of advertising on EntreBlast for free!

How would you like to win 10,000 ECs? What if all you had to do was blog about it?

What About Brazil has launched a new monthly contest and is giving away 10,000 ECs to the blog that sends them the most traffic. So, all you have to do is write a blog post either about the contest or the site, and you’re in. There are no specific requirements for writing the blog post, but something brief and sloppy probably won’t attract your readers to check out the blog! The contest’s deadline is July 31st, so you have over an entire month to enter!

Psst… The chances of winning are pretty good right now. Only 3 people have submitted article links in the contest post, which you have to do in order to be entered. You might as well give it a shot! Who knows, you might end up 10,000 ECs richer!

YouShouldOwn is holding a big Entrecard contest with a total of 20,000 ECs for prizes to 18 winners. There is only one way to enter and that is to write a blog post about the blog or the contest. It’s got to be at least 100 words but that’s nothing! You MUST include two links to the Cleveland Ohio real estate blog using any two of the following anchor texts:

• Cleveland Ohio Real Estate
• Cleveland Ohio Real Estate Blog
• Ohio Real Estate and Homes For Sale
• Real Estate in The Cleveland Ohio Area
• Buying A Home In Ohio
• Cleveland Ohio Relocation
• Real Estate Agent in Ohio
• Cleveland Ohio Realtor
• Homes For Sale In Ohio
• Selling A Home In Cleveland Ohio
• Realty One Real Living Ohio
• Realty One Real Living Cleveland
• Ohio Real Estate Blog and Homes
• Relocating To Cleveland Ohio

You have to use the given anchor texts and you can’t link any more than two times. One of those anchor texts is the “magic ticket” anchor and if you use it you’ll be put in a separate drawing for a chance to win ECs.

Prizes:

There is a hefty some of ECs for the winners, with first place being the BIG winner!

First Place: 10,000 ECs
Second Place: 2,000 ECs
Third Place: 1,000 ECs
Next 10 Winners: 500 ECs each
Most Creative Post: 1,000 ECs
Magic Ticket Winner: 1,000 ECs
Three Random Winners: 1 month text link on YouShouldOwn

You’ve got plenty of time to enter as the contest ends on June 13th.

Contests aren’t your thing?

They’ve got seven real estate agents working making it convenient to contact them to inquire more about relocating to Cleveland Ohio. Even if you’re not thinking about moving to Cleveland, YouShouldOwn provides tips on buying, selling, and more on their blog.

Carl Galloway is holding a quick and easy Entrecard contest on his blog with a total of 3500 ECs put up as prizes. To enter, all you have to do is write a short review of Carl’s blog, linking to the homepage and one other post. It’s got to be at least 150 words long, but that’s really not that hard!

There will be 3 winners, randomly picked, to win the ECs:

1st Prize – 2000 ECs
2nd Prize – 1000 ECs
3rd Prize – 500 ECs

and that’s all that’s really to it! It’s a pretty straightforward contest, and you’ve got until next Tuesday, May 20th, to enter.  Make sure to comment on the contest post in order to be entered in the contest as well.

Contests aren’t your thing?

Carl’s blog is… well… it’s pretty random- from blonde jokes to life in Spain, I’m not sure what exactly Carl blogs about. But, he does provide blog templates for those who use Blogger, Serendipity, or Wordpress platforms as well as tips and tricks with them. I guess you’ll just have to check out Carl Galloway’s blog for yourself!

The winners of the Hochstadt.com Party Contest have been announced on their blog. There is a very, very long list of winners so if you entered, you definitely want to check out the winners list post and see if you can find your name in among the list. Hint: Hit CTRL + F and type in the name you used to comment on the Party Contest post, that’s probably the name that’ll be listed in the winners list if you’ve won.

Did EntreBlast win?

We had a lot of entries in the contest, but as we were scrolling through the gigantic list of names ‘Entreblast’ was nowhere in sight… until we reached the bottom and saw this:

Entreblast (cash, ec) won 2,000ec from Joan Joyce of Joan Joyce Dot Com, a One Buck Wiki page at SiteHoppin.com as well as a 10 cards account at SendOutCards.com.

If you didn’t enter, wrong move. There were loads of prizes and a pretty big chance to walk away with something. I won three prizes myself! The ECs I won will be put to good use- I’m saving up to hold a contest once things start to pick up a bit on EntreBlast. Of course, I’ll talk more on this when the time is right.

So, did you win anything?

The ever popular with Entrecard blog- Hochstadt.com is holding a HUGE contest and the drawings are on May 1st, so I’ll make this post straight-forward and simple.

With 66,666 Entrecredits and over $7,000 in prizes, it would be stupid not to participate!
