Posted on January 5, 2011, 6:19 am, by Alan Bleiweiss, under announcements.
Are you envious of all the people who win prizes yet you never do? Would you like to own an iPad or an Amazon Kindle? Do you enjoy reading great books and articles from some of the best minds in the Search Industry? Well here’s your chance to win an iPad, win a Kindle, or one of fifteen other great prizes!
We recently announced that 2011 is going to see epic changes here at Search Marketing Wisdom, and wrote again with more great news. We’ve got ten new authors all committed to contributing articles – either as guest authors or regular columnists in 2011, we’ve got lots of great new stuff to tell you about in the coming weeks, and even more amazing changes in the works…
Already, just in the first week of the new year, two of our newest authors, Dana Lookadoo and Michelle Stinson Ross have posted their first SMW articles. Michelle wrote about her excellent (and dare we say “wise”?) 2011 Social Media Resolutions, and Dana reminded us that if you want to be an SEO Ninja, it requires training!
So in celebration of Search Marketing Wisdom’s epic transformation in 2011 into a more diverse, dynamic and informative place to learn about and discuss all things related to Internet Marketing, we’re putting on our first ever subscriber giveaway, with some amazing prizes!
Seventeen Amazing Prizes:
That’s right – not one prize, nor two or even five – but seventeen! OMG If that isn’t epic, I don’t know what is! And they’re not just any prizes either. Nope! We’re not talking about some cheezy dime-store junk here people. We’re talking about some awesome stuff – truly amazing prizes!
•1 Apple iPad WiFi 3G 32GB (fast, connected and lots of storage!)
•1 Amazon Kindle DX 3G (the largest Kindle available!)
•5 Copies of Vanessa Fox’ book Marketing in the Age of Google
•5 Copies of Cindy Krum’s Mobile Marketing book
•5 Copies of Alan K’necht & Geri Rockstein’s book The Last Original Idea
What’s So Amazing About Those?
Sure – you’re thinking – I’ve seen a dozen iPad giveaways, countless Kindle giveaways. And by now you probably have. Except you need to put this in context. At Search Marketing Wisdom, we may now be the up-and-coming best ever Internet Marketing blog on earth – except we’re still in the very first stage of our growth, with ZERO funding, ZERO advertisers, ZERO financial backing of any kind!
That’s right – we’re operating on a shoe-string here, people. So when you think about it THAT way, try to tell us THAT isn’t an amazing thing! That’s over $1300 worth of prizes based on current retail value!
So What Do I Have To Do?
