Kick Off Contest - Win $$$
Updated: Contest is over, and a winner has been picked!
To kickstart the blog I thought a contest would be a good thing. Everybody seems to be running them latly - and why shoudlent I? Hehe.
Anyway - I’m going to try a little different approach then the rest. Usually contest holders got some kind of a locked price. Usually a little chunk of money. Well. I’m going for money aswell - but I’m not going to to be cheap if this contest gets big. (heh - in my dreams)
What to do
As you might understand I’m not holding this contest just to be nice - I’m going to get something out of it. And as all others I want to see my RSS numbers go up.
So the only thing you have to do to be a part of this contest is to subscribe to my RSS Feed with your email and make a comment to this post. This can be done to the right on this blog. ————->
$1 for each subscriber
So - “whats in it for me” you might think. Well - the prize pool is not going to be set until the actually contest is over. Because: For each email subscriber I get I will add $1 to the prize pool. But don’t be afraid. I will guarantee $30 to the winner(s). So if only 1 subscribe he/she will win $30.
The prize pool
I got the idea of the prize pool from poker - so those of you that have played tournaments might be familiar with it.
30> subscriber $30 1 winner
31-50 subscribers $#subscribers 2 winners.
51-100 subscribers $#subscribers 3 winners
100 < subscribers $#subscribers 4 winners
Example: If i get 108 subscribers there will be $108 in the price pool and there will be 4 winners. Getting $27 each. If I get 400 subscribers (!) there will still be only 4 winners and each will win $100.
(I will try to keep you updateded on how big the prizepool are on regular basis)
Rules
You can only enter the contest with one email-adress. I will be checking each email and comment to make sure you only entered ones.
Prize is transfered with PayPal.
The contest is over in one week 5. february.
Let the contest begin!

Subscribed…
What i want to see on these contest is a affiliate plugin/service that actually let other ppl refer youre rss feed and get credited for it. That would be way more cool than all the “subscribe and win” comp’s
