Social Media Marketing MEGA Contest

9 August, 2008 (17:42) | Contests | By: User ImageSocialMind

It’s time for our next contest here at the Social Arrow.  This contest is going to be a doozy - 50,000EC for starters!  That’s right, 50,000EC.  We’ve made a committment of 50,000EC to get this contest going, but not only that, we expect some pretty big sponsorships to be added to the prize pool.

The purpose of this contest is to get some good information out there about what social networks are working for people in their social marketing efforts RIGHT NOW.  In order to accomplish this, I’m asking for your help.  It’s quite simple actually.  Everyone uses a different set of online tools.  All I want is for you to write about the social media outlets you use (Digg, Plurk, Twitter, etc..) the most and what kind of results you receive.

Keeping up with the entries on this contest is going to hopefully bring some great ideas for everyone on branching into new online social networks.  Even if you’re not entering you might want to bookmark this one.

How to Enter:

  • Write a Blog Post about what social network(s) you use the most.  Outline what you like about the service and what kind of a response you get from it.  In the body of the post, mention this contest and link to this post with the keywords Social Media Marketing Contest.
  • Leave a comment on this post stating that you have entered the contest.

What You Can Win(Updated on New Sponsorship):

  • First Place Wins: 27,000EC, A Month’s Advertisement on the Social Arrow, A Website Review from the Social Arrow, Permanent Link on Contest Winner’s Acknowledgment, One Free Banner Design by Phone Girl, One Month’s Blogroll Link on “A Phone Sex Life” Blog, A Fused Glass Pendant Worth Over $25.00
  • Second Place Wins: 10,000EC, A website Review from the Social Arrow, Permanent Link on Contest Winner’s Acknowledgment
  • Third Place Wins: 5,000EC, Permanent Link on Contest Winner’s Acknowledgment
  • Fourth Place to Eighth Place Wins: 1,000EC, Permanent Link on Contest Winner’s Acknowledgment
  • All Entries receive a Permanent Link on Contest Winner’s Acknowledgment!

All Entries Must Be Received By August 31st at Midnight

This contest is a draw, anyone can win who writes a blog post, and remember, every entry receives a link back!  The winners will be randomly drawn on September 1st.

    The entry method here is very special. You don’t only blog about the contest, but you blog about social networks and then mention the contest in the post. That’s a creative idea. My posting calendar is too tight now, so i can only enter on the 25th. I hope I don’t forget :)

    What does your contest have to do with breasts you have displayed at the top of the post? I was going to enter until I say that pic. I want nothing to do with pimping and exploiting women.

    @Blog Tactic - Thank you - remember if you wish to enter the contest however your post needs to outline what social networks you use and how you use them to your benefit.

    @Sponsors - I’m allowing any sponsor to enter, feel free to join the contest if you wish!

    @Everyone Else - This contest needs entries - it takes one blog post to enter - read the details above! Chances are fantastic for winning a prize considering the low entry rate to this point and there is ALOT up for grabs.

    @LuckyGirl - Wow what a beautiful pendant! I’m sure the winner will be extra happy with your contribution!
    @PhoneGirl - Hey you need to enter for sure - there’s like more sponsors than entries, as of right now, first place is easily attainable for anyone still. I’ll drop by and do one of those surveys of yours soon perhaps ;P
