Help Me Lose My Job
By admin | June 1, 2007
For those of you who didn’t notice, I have added a button to the sidebar;”Help Me Blog For A Year“. If you wanna go ahead and vote for me, I might just have a chance of losing my job and start getting paid to blog for a year! I only need 4774 votes to get in the number 1 spot so get clicking people! 
The competition ends when the Blogger Fund reaches $160,000 or Jan 1, 2008, whichever comes first. Currently there’s only $1447,00 in the pot so my guess is Jan 1, 2008 will come first…
One person who is already a winner is creator, Charles Jolley, who already won half of whatever is in the pot.
The Blog for a Year competition is an experiment in social sponsorship. What would happen if patrons from all over the world could come together to give one deserving writer the boost he or she needs to launch a professional career as a blogger? That’s what we aim to find out.
Blog for a Year awards one winner a year-long contract to blog full time on a blog of his or her own choosing. The award is funded by donations from participants and sponsors. Even if you don’t win, it’s a great way to have your blog discovered by thousands of other people who may not normally find it.
Getting a blog to the point it can support you takes a lot of hard work, especially if you have to keep a day job to pay the bills in the mean time. I started the Blog of a Year competition to give one blogger who would like to make blogging his or her full time job a chance to make it happen.
