Contest! - $100 Cash

Marcus Paul · 11-13-2008, 10:13 PM

My partners and I created an online magazine to provide an avenue for writers, bloggers, and website publishers to increase their visibility on the web in an environment that was a destination site as opposed to a database site. Part of this plan was providing flexibility in the type of content that is submitted and the other part is working hard to attract mainstream media websites (AOL, Fox News, CNN, Reuters to name a few) to review and use articles that fit their needs. We have had success here and want to keep that momentum.

We initially provided the site during Beta as a free site leaning heavily on the advertising model. However, our focus is on quality and user experience and we feel too many ads like you see on EZA or isnare distract from the article itself. So our future model is to charge $1.00 per submission (bought in increments of $10.00).

BUT BEFORE WE DO THIS...........

THE CONTEST

The first 100 users to register and post an article will be able to submit for free for life. Never a charge. Unlimited submissions.

The user who posts the most articles by the time we reach 100 users will recieve $100 via paypal.

RULES

Website is youTribune (same as link in sig)

Articles must follow Posting Policy and TOS.

Articles must be unique and original. We use Copyscape.

User count will be posted in my sig each day. I will not post article leader or count.

Looks like a very neat site. Can you please confirm if I can submit the same article here and in some article directories too?

Thanks!

Marcus Paul · 11-14-2008, 07:22 AM

Thanks!

It must be unique when it is submitted to our site. After that you can submit where ever.

Thanks for asking!

OK. I've signed up and submitted an article. I'm not convinced I got the linking bit right. Got confused by the trackback URL for my blog. Hopefully I can edit it later?

Just a reminder to those registered / registering that you still need to submit an article before the free period closes.

Everyone else including me has to pay money to advertise such offers in the WSO section however they are worded.

Marcus Paul · 11-15-2008, 05:32 PM

My apologies. I've seen many give-aways and cash contests listed in this section. I thought WSOs were when you were selling something to Warrior Members.

Examples I've seen are naming contests, free downloads, etc.

Example here - Tiffany Dow’s 30-Day Warrior Article Marketing Challenge

Again, my apologies but I am not selling anything to anyone here, I'm giving it away.

2 totaly different things.

You're giving away in the sense it's not costing "money" but you are getting leads and content written for your own site in exchange for a prize.

Can you imagine what would happen if every warrior posted a report for free download in exchange for your email address?

I don't make up the rules, and if I'm wrong Allen or other Warrior members who know the ropes can give me an infaction but I'm getting the feeling this should be a WSO.

Anyhoo, good luck with your site it looks great.

Louis
