Well kids, it’s no secret that we love to give out money here at How2Blogger. January’s $100 contest was a success and we’ll be announcing the winner here within the next day, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start this month’s contest.

So, we’ll make this quick and simple - here’s the rules for February’s contest.

To gain entries into the contest, just do any of the following:
- Make a comment of value (not just “i agree”, etc.) on a post = 1 entry (remember to comment on all blogs)
- Subscribe to RSS via email = 2 entries (per blog you subscribe to!)
- Write a post about the contest on your blog (must include a link to this page and the links below to participating blogs) = 25 entries

How much easier can we make it? So you can sneak in with just one entry by simply posting a comment here, you can increase your odds by reading and commenting on a few more posts here and at one of the blogs below and maybe subscribe to a couple, or you can really up the odds and subscribe to all all of our blogs (which you’ll enjoy reading anyway), comment on a bunch of posts, and blog about this contest. The more entries you earn, the better your odds, of course. If you’re going to post about this contest, just grab the image and code from here.

The deadline for this contest is 12:00 AM March 1, 2008.

Who wants to pay you?
- JoeTech.com
- Link Bait
- Gorilla Sushi
- CK Marketing
- The Big Bald Blog
- How 2 Blogger
- Dot Sauce Magazine
- Jason Boom

Good luck kids!

Well, since I decided to start 2008 without posting for a week - I thought it best to go back to bribing my readers to stick around. So, as we get back into our regularly scheduled programing, I’m going to be joining a few other super duper blogs in offering my readers another $100 smackers.

Now, unlike my last ’super sexy’ contest in which I required readers to either write a ‘How To’ post or sign over their first born, you’ll have a few simple options to enter the new January ‘Super Duper’ Contest

Which Super Duper Blogs Are Involved In This Super Duper Contest?

These Super Duper blogs are:

• JoeTech.com
• Link Bait
• Gorilla Sushi
• Mixed Market Arts
• CK Marketing
• The Big Bald Blog
• How2Blogger

As you can see - it’s probably one of the most powerful groups of blogs ever assembled. In fact, I’m pretty sure it is. And don’t quote me on this - but I think we might be throwing our collective hat into this year’s presidential race.

How Do I Enter This Super Duper Contest!?

That’s easy.

You can enter by doing any or all of the following options. Plus, you can do it for any or all of the blogs involved to increase your entries! Holy Crap!

• Subscribe to any or all of the RSS feeds for the blogs involved via email. (If you already subscribe - use a new email and delete at the end of the contest - brilliant, eh?) - 2 Entries
• Leave a comment of value (more than ‘I agree’ or ‘You suck’ (though I do appreciate those as well)) - 1 Entry
• Write a post about this contest on your blog. Include a link to this post as well as links to the other participating blogs - 25 Entries (Holy Crap!)

That’s it! I told you it would be easy, right? Oh yeah - be sure to leave a comment right here so I can keep track of your entries.

The deadline is 12:00 AM February 1, 2008, but I suggest you get it done earlier - as you might be doing something important on the 31st and you wouldn’t want to be left out of all the fun, right?

Awesome. So get to it and good luck!

1. Make sure that the Saturday you want to do this on is December 29th, 2007 (tomorrow, which also happens to be How2Blogger’s birthday! Wait, shouldn’t I be getting money instead of giving it away? I think I might’ve done did this wrong…).

2. Create a last minute entry for How2Blogger’s Super Sexy Holiday ‘How To’ Contest by writing a post or stumbling or commenting or all of those things.

3. Hack into random.org to make sure that your entry is drawn when How2Blogger tallies the entries and picks a winner.

Ok Kids - it’s time for round 3 of the links from How2Blogger’s Holiday $100 Contest. If you haven’t entered yet, you still have 10 days left! We’ll be drawing for the cash on the 29th - so get your entries taken care of soon! Like today would be good. Or tomorrow. Whichever, just get it done.

The following enterprising people have already entered and not only have a chance at the cash money (as Wilmer Valdesomething says), but have also earned themselves a free back link right here on the almost huger than your momma How2Blogger blog.

Some great entries this week - there’s still time to write yours if only you’d stop procrastinating! What’s more important - getting your holiday shopping done or entering this contest!?

Don’t answer that. I’m a little sensitive.

Generally, thank you notes should be written on cards and sent with a lick and a stamp, rather than a click and ‘publish.’ But - today we’re making an exception. So in the future, try to do as I say, not as I do.

When should you send a ‘Thank You’ note?

• You receive a gift
• You win an awesome brand new Nintendo Wii
• After a job interview
• You are on the receiving end of a random or unexpected act of kindness
  • Your neighbor shovels your drive
  • A friend offers to babysit for free
  • The girl at the Jack In The Box drive thru hooks you up with a free Christmas Jack Antenna Ball! (Yup, it’s okay to be jealous)

What are the seven elements of a Thank You Note?

1. The Salutation - Dear TrueBlueTitan,
2. The Thank You - Thank you so much for randomly drawing my name as the winner of your super duper contest featuring the Nintendo Wii.
3. Highlight the appropriateness of the gift or favor - I don’t know if you know this, but my mother is Korean, and Japan (where Nintendo is from) is not very far from Korea. In fact I looked on a map today and it’s like half an inch away. How perfect!
4. Tie the appropriateness of the gift with the gift giver -Your internet entrepreneurship blog is really rad, just like the Wii.
5. If the gift was money, talk about how you will spend it. Or write about how you are going to use the gift - Hopefully my blog won’t suffer too much as I plan on spending many hours this holiday season at the Wii bowling lanes.
6. Write a line to update the gift giver on your life - Timmy got his leg out of the cast and I’m no longer suffering from that nasty head cold so things are looking better.
7. Sign the Thank You Note - With Thanks, How2Blogger.

Don’t be sad if you didn’t win a Wii yourself. Not all of us can be winners. Well, actually you still can be, lucky for you. If you want a Wii - you could still win a Wii over at Contest Beat or if you’d rather just have some stinking cash, say $100 bucks, well I’m giving that away in my own little contest!
