It’s Christmas in August

by Yan

“thou shall win” contest

You have seen the teaser and now this is what you have been waiting for. We are now going to celebrate Christmas in August with a “thou shall win” Contest in celebration of my super 3 months blogging.

You can expect over $2500 worth of awesome prizes to be won. As they always say, ‘This is one contest everyone should be excited about’.

Let’s First Thank the Santa Claus

  1. Yan from Blog for Beginners
  2. PB from Piss Biscuit
  3. Aaron from FullTiltBlogging.com
  4. Jim from The Net Fool
  5. Bryan from Extreme Ezine
  6. Jay from DatMoney.com
  7. Nadz from Rockfuse.com
  8. Prem from Tech Suave
  9. Michael Aulia
  10. Brian Gardner
  11. Etienne Teo

Next Let’s Thank the Early Birds

You guys deserve to earn additional 3 points, kick my ass if I miss your name.

  2. Punnet
  3. Larry from Club Blogger
  4. PB from Piss Biscuit

Contest Details

Without further ado, here’s what you simply need to do – read carefully

  1. 10 points – Subscribe via email and blog about this contest (see #2) on your blog with all the sponsors’ links and prizes intact - mandatory
  2. 5 points – A link back to my home page with Anchor Text – Blogging Tips for Beginners
  3. In less than 20 words, tell us why the sponsors rocks. For each sponsor you write about, you will be getting 5 points so there will be a maximum of 55 points for all the 11 sponsors.
  4. If you have completed all the above and collected the maximum 70 points, you will automatically be entitled to the Grand Draw.
  5. The details of the Grand Draw can be found in your RSS feed with the “Unlock the Code” link to the page for the Grand Prize.

More Contest Details

  1. There will be a bonus of 3 referral points for each person whom is referred by you. The contestant has to state that he/she is being referred by you. The logic states that only one contestant can be referred by one introducer. Make sense?
  2. All the referral points cannot be accumulated into the maximum points.
  3. As usual, the verification will be done based on the comment you leave here shouting what you have completed. Your IP will be logged and verified.
  4. The winners will be picked by using the random list generator at http://random.org. Screenshots will be provided.

Update: Banner Ads Display

Additional 10 points if you opt to display the banner ads on your sidebar.

I love you all.
