SELaplana >> Blogging, Contest >> Starting Contest, Being Honest, Mon’s Tips in Starting Contest

Start a contest? I was thinking about it actually last June 2007, but I don’t have the courage to start new contests due to the failures I experienced in promoting my programs like:

1. Free Banner Advertisement
2. Review Me Challenge

But of course I know that those failures were just the result of my laziness in doing the needed job to let bloggers learn about it and give them the courage to participate the programs.  Besides, I want to be honest with you… I don’t have enough knowledge on how to run a successful blog contest.

Honesty!

Yes, I should be honest to you because I have to. It can be interesting to blog as if you’re someone, just like what the Fake Steve Jobs did, but it’s hard to maintain a character that is not you. And portraying a different character in blogging is really hard to maintain especially if you did something that might ruin the true-you, just like what happened when I was still blogging as the Ka Webspy.
