I Won Shoemoney’s RSS Contest

Nov 2, 2007 Affiliate Marketing, Blog General, Unordered Miscellany

Holy Shit! I was hoping to win at least one of the smaller prizes in Shoemoney’s RSS contest, but I won the whole enchilada! What an awesome surprise! It was cake too, I’ve worked harder for lesser prizes. This just required signing up for his RSS feed - something I’ve already been subscribing too ever since the first day he launched is site. Even before his site was launched, Shoe was creating storms on DigitalPoint so I knew he was someone to keep watch on. It paid off in a way I’d never have imagined! (The inspirational, informational and controversial posts was already well worth being a subscriber, I highly recommend his site).

Now I think there is an unwritten law, a code of blogging ethics, that says “If you are a blogger, and win something big, you must blog about it rub it in show how appreciative you are to the sponsors.” So here it is. My “I WON! I WON!” post!

Here’s everything I won (and the sponsors that supplied them):

• $550 - 1 Xbox 360/Guitar Hero Package or Cash depending on availability
  - From Groovle
• $804 - 1 year subscription to www.plrproebooks.com
  - From PLRPro Ebooks
• $1,164 - 1 year subscription to plrpro.com
  - From PLRPro
• $1,500 - 1 drupal customized site. You pick the niche, and they will create a 15 page site loaded with some really cool drupal features
  - From Swimming Pool Knowledge
• $1,895 - 1 full conference pass to SES Chicago
  - From Incisive Media

I’m still kinda shell shocked and trying to figure out the best way to use each of the prizes. Some I’ll enjoy and others I’ll leverage hoping to improve some of my marketing skills (much improvement is needed). Looking over the prize list, I can’t say there isn’t one prize I’m more excited about than the others, all of them are great prizes.

So a huge “Thank You” to Shoe, Tigh (Manager at Shoemoney Media) and all the sponsors! You ROCK!
