Go Mad – Grab Your Free Prizes
Posted by Jason in Daily RamblingWhat’s left:
6 months Hosting + 1 .INFO Domain From Eqoz.com ($50 Value)
One Setup Proxy Website – ($25 Value)
Jumbo Pack 3 months Hosting From Eqoz.com ($24 Value)
Digital Point Signature Link; One Month ($30 Value)
Three Complete Guide to Your First $1000 eBooks ($15 Value each)
Alright, I’m tried of running after people; anyways, most prizes still haven’t been claimed, so I’m offering a quick – ish way to get rid of them – the first person to post in the prize thread a couple below gets the prize they want. Are there any rules? Just two – I want to see carnal madness, so won’t restrict you guys too much. The first rule is that one person can only claim one prize; if there are some left at the end, I’ll do a redraw or distribute to those who have already posted. The second rule is that the two big prizes – a custom made eBook package done by yours truly and an advertising spot for one month on John Cow are not included in the carnage – I’ll do a separate draw for those in the next few days. Get in quick; here’s the post. As for the prizes – if you have me on instant messenger, contact me there as it’s easier – I’ll still send out emails to all those that don’t/can’t be arsed to.
The WordPress Theme Splurge
Alright, I’ll admit that I’ve gone a bit mad – I’ve spent around $500 today and will be spending a couple hundred more tomorrow. On what, you ask? Well, I’ve bought around 10 WordPress themes in the last week – you can see all of them at the new subdomain; feel free to use any of them as you like (I get the backlinks
). I like the Flying Dollars one the best; it’s excellent for a Make Money Online blog which is the common startup blog for a lot of new bloggers around at the moment – some of the others are pretty decent too. I’m getting four more custom made ones tomorrow, which again will go up; thanks to a lovely plugin made by a friend, it’s a lot easier to showcase them (and you can buy this plugin at $14.99 from this Digital Point thread). A lot of money to spend in one go but I do feel it will pay out long term, which is what I hope to be in this for – we’ll see how it goes.
Alright, I’m not totally mad, so I didn’t spend everything on WordPress themes – I’m also getting a Facebook Application custom made; a lot of people have had success spamming marketing on Myspace and Facebook, and I’d like to give it a go. It isn’t cheap by any means, but it’s a pretty cool idea, to get into the whole social network marketing thing – the idea I had for an application is a ‘Top Five Websites You Like’ – nothing revolutionary, but it doesn’t exist at the moment and it’s often the simple things that are the easiest to use. We’ll see how that goes. Another thing I bought was full rights to an adult dating eBook that teaches you how to earn by promoting fling – I have no experience in that area but I don’t really care about the earnings from the method, just from the flip – if you want to buy a copy, you can get it straight off the Promote Fling website. Automated delivery into your Paypal account – anyways, if anyone is interested in buying full rights, you can have them for $150.00; I seriously don’t have the time to promote it much. Personally, I was thrown in four themes along with the eBook and those were what I was really after
Donation Button
A few (and by a few, I mean a couple) people have asked me to put up a donation button – heck, I’d love to be paid for blogging but would rather earn in a legit way like selling stuff or push affiliate stuff of use rather than having a tip jar for donations. What do you guys think? In the future, I might have something like that up, but if you guys want to donate, feel free to buy my eBook off www.lazy-riches.com ; at least you’ll be getting something useful
.
Entrecard
A small update – Entrecard has brought me around 120~ users in the time it’s been up; I’m fine with that as it’s pretty cool. I’m saving up the credits for now – want to see how much traffic an advert on John Chow Dot Com will get me – I’m halfway there.
Another good thing about Entrecard is that it allows you to find blogs that you’d never known about – today I stumbled across BlogComics.net who admittedly have some funny stuff. Some of it is slightly against the PC-brigade, but I found it amusing; take a look at one of their examples:
Take a look at their site – they have a few more decent ones.
On the theme header redesign – a friend did a phenomenal sketch yesterday which I’ve given the designer to ‘cartoonize’ – it looks pretty damn nice though; take a look below.

The person who did it was Ava from waxingpoetic75.com – anyways, head on over and say thanks from me
That’s all for today – I did meet a total idiot on Digital Point today, too pissed off to talk about it – will let you know more about the c*nt tomorrow. Due to his idiocies, I left a hole in the wall and received a negative iTrader from him – argh!




PRIZE
You have to say which prize, dumbass
The ebook haha
I wasn’t sure which thread, so i posted in both lol.
Ban, triple posting for my stupidity. I realized that the eBook grand prize wasn’t available, so, i’ll take:
YOUR image Ad in the sidebar; One Month
Thanks
Sorry mate.
Could not contact you today to redeem my couponer.org domain. My internet’s been f*king up.
But consider it claimed from me.
I NEED it..!
Please reserve it Jason. Will contact you as soon as I can
Doesn’t the plugin do the same as Ryan Boren’s Theme Preview plugin?
I accidentally posted the link to Dougal Campbell’s plugin, but Ryan Boren also created one.
Hi,
The themes are not avaible to download. http://www.themes.theuniversitykid.com/WordPress%20Themes/
Check there. The download link on the link are not working.
can we claim prizes?
if so I’ll claim the two wordhugger.com pages which haven’t been taken yet.
Aish, I thought you’re supposed to comment on the other post?
Oh wells, I’m good at being lost so I’m not suprised.
I’m after the one year hosting if thats still available as I kinda need that right now
Heya Jon,
Artur already claimed the WordHugger page – three hours before ya – there are still a couple prizes left though, so read the post and get them quick
One Setup Proxy Website – ($25 Value)
I sent you an email from kotrt99@yahoo.com a few days ago, but have not received a reply.
Your DP signature for 3 months.
@Girish aka KiHack – I believe you mean one month.
Digital Point Signature Link; One Month ($30 Value)
I’ll take Three Complete Guide to Your First $1000 eBooks ($15 Value each) if its still available.
uh, I already posted in the contest thread, claiming the signature link…
Is there any sig link remaining?
Also I can see a negative iTrader in your DP profile. Whats the full story??
Yeah, Jason got a -iTrader from some cunt who bought his book, then said it sucked and got a refund, then went off selling info and links from the book. Jason negged him first, then he retaliated.
Aw, I lost my prize!?
Whatever, no big deal…
Heya,
A goofup on my part – it was the three month hosting up for grabs, not the six month. Argh! Anyways, will email you when the sponsor works things out, thanks
@SawanM – I think you are getting the signature link.
Jason, thank you for organizing this contest! Hopefully it brought a lot of traffic and new readers to your blog.
Well, it brought me to this blog. Actually, no it didn’t. I just found this blog in digitalpoint forums. Am I lucky, or what?
Yeah the contest seems to have gone over quite well, seems to have created quite a bit of activity on the site!! There is definitely a lot more commentors than when I first started visiting, after finding the site on DP.
BTW, I dig the sketch! Looks like it will make a great character for your site. I’ve dealt with Ava from waxingpoetic75.com a couple of times through DP (including purchasing a website review) and the work has always been great! Awesome sketch for this site Ava!
Contests are a good way to attract people. I think they really do influence the website greatly.
A great idea to attract visitors and also helping people to earn some money.
U never know who when and how much
donation button.. why not?
