AWeber Competition Results
A little over a week ago I launched a project to start an email course on StumbleUpon and as part of that project I created a little competition to win me as your referral for AWeber. To enter the competition contestants had to write a post related to link building.
Trackbacks aren’t showing up in my theme at the moment (I’ll be fixing that shortly - just need to whip up a little php code) but I still see all of them. Here are the entries:
- Caroline Middlebrook’s Stumble Email Course Contest by Mark Mason
- Little Known Viral List Building Technique by Case Stevens
- Improve Your Marketing with Permission by Shari Voigt
- How to use a Mailing List to Engage Your Tribe by Keith Douglas
- Do I Need a List? by Suzie Cheel
I enjoyed reading all of the entries but both Mark’s and Case’s entries stood out. Case outlined a very neat trick for helping your list go viral by offering others a way of promoting your list using their own links. Mark’s entry had me laughing out loud and it was so original and he’d obviously really put the effort in!
I can only sign up once so there can only be one winner as they say :) The winner is…. Mark Mason! Congratulations Mark :) It was the sheer originality and the obvious effort you put in that won me over. By the time this post gets published you should have a new AWeber referral.
Thanks to everybody who entered.
Brainstorming a Course Name
I’ve been mulling over what to name this course so I thought I’d throw it out to you lot to see if you can come up with something better than I can which is quite likely! The course is based purely on the traffic driving aspects of StumbleUpon - it is not a general guide to SU, or about using it as a discovery tool. I’m looking for something short and catchy as I feel that branding is much better than keyword stuffing.
I already have a few ideas but I won’t publish them yet, I’ll wait and see if I get any better suggestions :)
UPDATE: I have now chosen a name and registered the domain, thanks for your entries! (Announcement to be made on March 20th’s post)
