EntreBlast

Archive for the ‘EntreBlast’ Category

The Summer Credit Splash contest may be over, but that doesn’t mean things will slow down here. Entrecard news will continue, announcing other Entrecard contests will start up again, and the tips, tricks, guides, and interviews won’t stop.

In addition to receiving Entrecard news, contests, and more via e-mail or your favorite RSS reader, you’ll also be getting the good things that will come along before anyone else reads it on here. For example, since the last huge EC contest went SO well, I want to do another one, don’t you? We’ll talk more on that soon. But, the benefit of being subscribed is that you’ll always be automatically entered in EntreBlast’s contests. Subscribing via e-mail will always be a requirement to joining in on our contests, so if for some crazy reason you have decided to stop reading EntreBlast, at least you’ll still be entered in the contests!

So don’t unsubscribe from EntreBlast just because the first contest is over. There is so much more to come! And if you aren’t subscribed yet, it’s best that you subscribe to EntreBlast now. 

Yes! It is finally here. Sorry for torturing all those that entered the contest to win a whopping 36,000 ECs. I have been super busy with school but I did promise I would give the winners this week! I could blab all day but don’t you want to know who the winners are?

There are 6 winners, each getting a nice share of the 36,000 EC total prize.

1st Place – The winner of 17,000 ECs goes to…

Congratulations to all the winners! Your prize will be sent tomorrow. Thank you to everyone that participated in EntreBlast’s first contest, and even though it took a lot of time to organize and pick the winners, I plan on holding another one in the near future. Thanks again to the sponsors who were able to make this HUGE contest possible!

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!

Entrecard’s been quite, and our Summer Credit Splash is almost over, so this week we’ve got a really interesting question:

If you won the 17,000 first place prize, what would you do with it? Sell it? Hold your own contest? Advertise everywhere? Or slowly spend the ECs on ads and sponsoring contests?

In my interview with Graham, when I asked about what is in the future for the forums, he responded with a simple . Here are this week’s questions:

What do you think is in store for the forums? What do you think about the forums right now? Do you use them?

My prediction is that the forums are going to be moved onto a vBulletin forum. A lot of users have voted in the polls on the Entrecard blog, asking for a vBuilletin forum. It would make forum usage a lot better!

Alright so, last week held the release of the Entrebar. Now, some of us are wondering what’s next for Entrecard. I’m going to see if I can get a hold of Graham for a few minutes to maybe give some hints about what’s next, and then I’ll share it this week.

What do you think is next for Entrecard? What do you think should be next?

The Prizes

The Sponsors

Sorry about the slow week guys, I’m visiting family in NY for few days and will be back Monday. Anyways, so, on Sunday Entrecard launched it’s Entrebar – an Entrecard toolbar. The nifty tools allows you to buy ads, load Entrecard blogs, and more with just one click.

What do you think of the Entrebar? Like it, love it?

You’re probably wondering why I haven’t posted the Entrecredit Blast for this week, and that’s because I plan on launching the Summer Credit Splash contest soon! I don’t want to get tangled up with overlapping giveaways, so I’ll be holding off the Weekly Entrecredit Blast until after the contest is over.

The current EC prize total stands at 24,000 ECs. I have been searching for a few more people to sponsor, hopeing to hit 30,000 ECs before it starts.

If you want to sponsor, send me a message on Entrecard. One way to enter the contest is to link to the sponsors, so you’ll receive a ton of linkbacks in exchange for anything between 1000 and 5000 ECs. For those who donate 5000 ECs, they’ll be receiving a special bonus as a thanks.

So, in the ‘Latest Buzz’ section on the Dashboard, a message from two days ago says: “announcing something BIG very soon…”. We are all curious to find out what the heck this “something BIG” is, so why don’t we play a little guessing game.

What do you think the big announcement is going to be about?
