Contests are fun for both the contest holder and their contestants. Winning even the smallest of prizes can be very rewarding in the form of recognition, exposure, traffic, backlinks and new friends. The contest holder wins big with the same benefits. This week I found another way to participate in online contests that’s just as rewarding. It’s sponsoring a contest.

I recently decided to sponsor a contest being held by one of my online friends. It’s been about a week and I’ve already made several new friends and have received several backlinks from others posting about the contest.

“Thou Shall Win” Contest

The site that helped me realize that sponsoring a contest can make you a winner too is ThouShallBlog.com – Blogging Tips for Beginners by Yan Susanto. Yan is running a contest through August called ‘Thou Shall Win Contest‘. Our site, Extreme Ezine, is one of the many sponsors and I’m glad to see how fast the contest is building momentum. That’s due to Yan’s incredible networking skills.

Over $2500 worth of prizes are up for grabs and entering is easy. Get the details here: Thou Shall Win Contest

The Grand Prize

A ticket to the â€œEvent Apartâ€ which is held in the USA. The Ticket is worth about $1,000.00 and will be good for any 2008 event.

Great. I’ve learned something new from you. I’ve been using Gmail for a couple of years I think but it is only now I’ve noticed the used of filters. Thanks for the link love. Will surely share it to my followers

Hi Dennis, No problem. Just getting in a little Camtasia practice.

Sheryl Loch Said in February 11th, 2009 @7:45 pm

Hey Brian,
I am not sure how people get by without setting filters & folders. I do have everything that gets a label also goes in a folder & skips the “IN” box. That way it only takes me 2 seconds if I am looking to see if mail from a certain project has come in. I would be in a real mess with just plain ol’ email.

I see you are going all Camtasia High Tech! That’s great – now when I try it I will know who to ask for help!

Hi Sheryl, I love Gmail. I hope it sticks around for a long time without ‘improvement’. Remember ‘New Coke’ LOL

I use an old version of Camtasia but it was free. Let me know if you need a copy. I want to learn more like zooming in and editing the video before I use it. Adding captions would be great. I need a teenager to show my these things

Hey .. thanks for the information I know that Gmail has a lot more options, that I don’t know how to use them .. I look forward for more information about this!
Thanks again..

Hi Beok, Glad you liked it. I may do another one soon.

James Moralde Said in October 29th, 2009 @3:45 am

Hey Brian, if by chance you have free time and you still have that old free Camtasia app, I would definitely want a copy, if you don’t mind of course. You know my email address.

I have begun being interested in making video posts. I guess, I’m beginning to enter the phase where writing pure text posts is becoming less exciting and besides I plan to spruce up my blog content a bit with videos every now and then.
