A Bloggers Jackpot giveaway going on
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008So, I’m sure you want the details for this baby, huh? Okay, well, Mark Sierra over at Me and My Drum is having a wonderfully fantabulous giveaway for any blogger. The prizes are sensational and well worth trying to win one of the prize packs. Yes, I said it…there’s more that one prize pack up for grabs. Here’s a prize list just so your mouth can start drooling before you get over there:
GRAND PRIZE WINNER
One lucky person will win the following prizes:
1) One year free of the Swamp (Business) hosting plan (valued at $179) — sponsored by HostGator.
This is HostGator’s top plan and is loaded with features like unlimited domains just to name one!
2) A FREE developer’s license to either the WP-Vybe theme (valued at $299) OR WP-Mag theme (valued at $279) — sponsored by Solostream
This is a “winner’s choice” prize meaning the winner will choose only one of the above themes. What’s a developer’s license? Having this license allows you to use ONE of the two themes on as many sites as you own. You can even resell those sites that use the theme, but you cannot sell the theme itself independently. This is a very feature-rich theme that he’s currently using on MeAndMyDrum. It’s easy to configure and provides several color choices.
3) A FREE license to AceMoney (valued at $30) — sponsored by MechCAD
It helps to have something that you can use to track the money you make. I use this software and think it does a great job. Very easy to use.
4) A FREE license to StoreStacker (valued at $97) — sponsored by StoreStacker
This a great way to capitlize on your affiliate product promotions. With StoreStacker you can build complete sites with commission-ready affiliate products PLUS help you include relevant articles and videos — something no other affiliate software does.
5) A FREE license to Market Samurai (valued at $149) — sponsored by Market Samurai
I’ve posted about this super niche finder before. It’s something I use quite frequently to help me find the niches I want to profit from. It’s many tools in one: keyword research, SEO competition, find content, promote content, and many others! This will help you shave hours and hours off your niche research and help you slice through the competition.
6) FREE iPod Nano 4GB (valued at $95) — sponsored by Shawal
Will this help you make money? No, but it’s definitely something you can use WHILE you build your sites that will make you money.
First place winner
A FREE Premium license to either the WP-Vybe theme (valued at $199) OR the WP-Mag theme (valued at $179) — sponsored by Solostream
This enables the winner to use the theme of their choice on as many sites as they own, but not resell the sites as long as the theme is being used nor can the theme itself be sold.
Second place winner
A FREE Basic license to the WP-Vybe (valued at $99) OR the WP-Mag theme (valued at $79) — sponsored by Solostream
Yes, Solostream is a very generous sponsor. This theme of the winner’s choosing enables them to use the theme on only ONE site that they own and cannot sell the site they use it on.
So you’re probably asking yourself how do you enter to win these great prizes.
