Get Paid To Read My Feed

By admin | June 4, 2007

Win CashBy the end of this month I’d like to have the current amount of 160 subscribers doubled to a whopping 320. (or more:)) and in order to achieve this, I’m gonna need your help guys.

My goal in June is to get as much RSS subscribers as possible and to motivate you to help me with this, I have set aside $30,00 which I will pay directly through PayPal. This is only the runner up prize though, the main prize will be a 500+ word review of your blog with 5 linkbacks and a permanent link on this blogroll and on 3 other blogs I own. Current reviews are worth $60,00 and with those permanent linkbacks I’d say the prize is worth well over $100,00! If you’re the 1st one to comment I will give you a permanent spot on this blogroll.

Now how to win this.

All I want is for you to make a screenshot of the bobmeetsworld.com feed in your favorite RSS reader, clearly showing you subscribed. Leave a comment with a link to wherever you uploaded your screenshot (I support the dofollow so you automatically get a linkback for that too) and you’re in the game.

Whoever leaves comment number 30 gets the 30 dollars, no questions asked. To win the first prize, 500+ words review and permanent linkbacks, you need to have comment number 100. Sounds easy doesn’t it?

Well there’s just one thing, I will be moderating all comments for the topic so nobody will know what comment number they have until the competition is over and I publish all the comments from draft. :) So what happens when nobody qualifies for these prizes? (I might too ambitious and we might not make it to comment 100 or even number 30). Well I guess I can do another raffle, right? So I’m gonna hand over those prizes to you guys no matter what happens!

Contest ends on the last day of June. Good luck and enjoy :)

    links from TechnoratiThere are a lot of cool contests around the blogosphere lately. Bob is offering prizes for his feed readers. You have to post a screen shot of your feed reader with bobmeetsworld.com in the window as proof. Then leave a comment on the contest post. The 30th comment wins $30 and the 100th commenter wins a 500 word review + permanent linkbacks. Even without a contest, BobmeetsWorld.com is a blog worth subscribing to.

    links from TechnoratiDo you want to win something more than a review? [IMG MacBook][IMG Wii] Bob at BobMeetsWorld is giving away a 500 words review, 5 backlinks, permenant link in blogrolls of 4 of his blogs and $30 cash for you to read his feeds. Another thing Bob is doing is selling his MacBook for $10 (Ten Bucks, you read that right!) and a Nintendo Wii with 4 games, two remotes and a nunchuk. Great contests, don’t you think! [IMG :-D]

    links from Technoratiinbound links, other than creating and joining all the ME ME’s out there. He is presently in the midst of two ME ME’s, one by himself and one by Roberta Ferguson. I also reached his blog for the first time after a ME-ME by himself. His own ME-ME me too includes a cash prize worth $ 30 and a 500-word review (!) on your blog plus five links back (!!). Here you need to upload a screenshot showing his feed in your reader, like the one below, which shows Bob’s feed running in Bloglines.

    links from Technorati(a) they have the link count/authority thing working in their favor and (b) Google is completely ignoring its blog search engine, as far as promotion and new features go. I’m not sure I like the plea for a donation at the end of every post and now the $30 bounty for feed subscribing at Bob Meets World, one of my Swivel Feeds. It makes me think he’s, um, blogging for money. Paging TDavid for his thoughts on this sort of thing. On the other hand, Quasi-Fictional

    links from Technorati of your feed reader with his feed you have subscribed, and you can get a free review (worth $60) and a link in his blogroll ($100). So, this is my screenshot: [IMG Bob meets world] Plus, if you leave a comment on the contest post you can win 30$! This bobmeetsworld contest ends on June 31th, 2007. Hurry up!
