Excellent, I will most certainly participate! I started filling the requirements and have the article nearly ready too :)

One question thou, how do you count the points from Twitter? You mentioned that one should use hashtag #fbcontest2009, but what if people re-tweet the post without the hashtag? Or tweet using the buttons on the post (which won’t automatically include hashtag)?

That’s great! waiting for your submission.

About counting the tweets, I asked people to use the hash tag, but I think I am going to spend a hard time collecting the tweet from everywhere ;) it’s optional, but it will make it so much easy if you use it when you promote and ask friends to re-tweet the same link!

Probably HTML format will make it easier fore me to publish it, but if you send as text it’s OK! plz no more than 2 links in your post and it should be related to your topic. don’t forget to send your information and PayPal account!

you may use this form to submit your article

Dennis Edell December 3, 2009 at 7:15 pm

It sounds like you’re putting all the promotional responsibility on the writer…the articles are going up on YOUR blog, aren’t they?

Hesham December 3, 2009 at 7:53 pm

The writer can just submit his/her article to the contest, but it won’t work with out promotion! as I said on the contest post above, our contest is basically a mix between (writing and popularity) .. So.. If someone has good writing skills and some popularity both together could lead him to winning one of the 3 prizes.

Your contests have lots nd lots condition/steps to be completed to take part…then write the article then get votes….nd that makes you win the contests…so the first entries are just hindrance that makes user feel that the contests is not made for me…if it was just writing article then it would be a great contest…( Just told wat i thought )

anyways best of luck for the contest nd will try to be a part of it :)

It is a lot of work, but put it in perspective – there are contests where you have to first write a NOVEL, then submit it with an entry fee, then hope for the best…

You could look at this a number of ways:

1) Too much work!
2) Too much work – but that betters MY odds of winning!
3) Too much work, but it betters my odds of winning, and DANG, that’s a lot of great prizes!

I’m not officially entering, but I completed all the requirements already (I can’t tell others “no excuses” if I haven’t done it, myself, now, can I?) I will be reading and commenting and voting, though!

Hey, Hesham – question – is there a limit on how many times one reader’s comment or Twitter can count for ONE entry?

Can readers comment, Twitter, and vote on Blog Engage for more than one entrant?

Hesham December 3, 2009 at 2:06 pm

Thank you Holly for adding your valuable opinion here, and for all your efforts! I love your gust post on Famous Bloggers and it’s a great example for every one who want to enter the contest, I believe this will guide participant to concentrate on their writing and show them what we are talking about here for better results!

Of course everybody can comment more than once if there is a need, and retweet the posts as much as they like. BlogEngage is accepting only one vote from each member and it’s OK if you vote for all the articles if you like them!

Deciding who is going to win will be a very hard thing because it will depend on the value of comments on each post!

Hesham December 3, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Thank you a lot for your opinion, I know it’s lots of work to do, but believe me if you start working on it this will not take more than 1 hour of your work! following us on Twitter, Facebook and subscribing to our feed by email is a matter of one click process!! I do this kind of stuff with out any prizes and I don’t even need someone to tell me or to ask me to do… but here the situation is different.. there is prizes worth the hard work!

I remember I worked for one year on my blogs with out earning $1 and I had to spend on it too :) just imagine with this writing contest that I will earn $100 cash in one month doing nothing more than what I do everyday 10 times.. this is cool thing in my opinion!

Did you hear that someone will pay you prizes worth 100s of dollars just for writing an article? (I doubt it!) Tell me where.. I will go and do it!

No, and I should reiterate here that I’m not really entering the contest. I just enjoy a challenge. ;) Also, I am not a “Famous Blogger” or a sponsor of the contest.

I’d rather run around and vote for the contestants, when the time comes. And I’d rather see someone else win these fantastic promotional prize packages – I don’t want to deplete all my good Karma, and I have already won two contests this week. Time to give someone else a turn, eh?

I am starting to think this one’s going to be far too easy for a lucky handful of entrants to snatch up these great prizes, though, simply because of the effort involved. (It’s a bit more than an hour’s work, Hesham! Harrrumph! Well, it was for me.) But it’s still fun, and worth doing even if you don’t win.
