As I’ve been running my CONTEST!!

Contests have been popping up all over the web. Such as pureblogging.com is holding a contest to win an 8GB Apple Ipod Nano (or cash prize equivalent)

Contests are great ways, to get PR and higher hits. You don’t have to shovel out the money for a brand new ipod, goto your local store see if they have any open ones where you get a Best Buy gift card. Or anything electronic buy it and see if there is an open item. Those gift cards make for great prizes!

Check websites for refurbished Ipods apple sells the shuffle for only $49 and it ends up being better than a brand new one since it is checked twice.

You can make it as simple as my t-shirt contest saying link back to her and tell them about the contest, or as problogging which is write a review!

Go and bid on stuff at E-Bay get the cheapest things you can find! Great prizes and everyone loves to win free stuff. I know I do!

The So Called Me

I just wanted to let people know a good friend of mine Jenny who is as obsessed with SEO, PR, Alexa and everything that concerns blogs is going to be randomly guest posting on TBW. Her own site doesn’t have the audience for it and most people with personal sites like ours don’t really bother with Alexa or PR so she’ll be posting on here. Please make sure to give her comments as this is her first time posting about these topics!

Even though this gets me a submission I think its actually a great contest more people should enter.

John Chow dot com, who also like me helps you Make Money off the internet is offering a microsoft zune giveway.

Even though I’ve bought the zune before, I prefer the ipod but its a nifty toy. Plus if its brown and green I want it! I love the combination!

To enter you have to do something above like I did!

I like fair competitions so everyone enter! It’s an awesome prize. I’ll be doing contests like that soon! I just got a couple more clients for my consulting. The money not only is paying off my massive debt, but buying tons of great prizes for my readers. I do love all 16 of my rss feed readers. HAHA *cries* I’m working on building it up!
But make sure you guys enter just like I did! And be sure to visit his site, I’ve learned a lot from him myself he’s a really great resource to have!

I also want to know if you’re my reader and you win it please let me know I’d love to post a picture of you with your new zune!

Skye-Host.com

Now as many of you know this theblogworld.net is hosted by E-Starr.com, however I have to say I have a couple of other sites I tried out another host for and I am enjoying the stay there as well. They are called Skye-Host. They are currently the main server for one of my projects (undisclosed) and I have to say I am very happy with them. They were priced just right for my larger project.

I received a nice amount of space and bandwidth for a decent price, not too much though where I would believed they were overselling but enough to feel like I had enough room to grow! They offer CPanel, Fantastico, Unlimited Sub.Domains, Unlimited FTP, Unlimited POP3, Unlimited email forwarders, Unlimited MySQL and so much more!

Skye-Host’s support is friendly and fast! They also offer a message board for chatting and talking to other people and even non-clients can join and see what the fuss is about. They can even move your site for you!* I have to say I’ve tried several hosts and like my love with my regular host. I’m also having a great love affair with Skye-Host.

The plan I purchased was a reseller plan #4 I get 5GB of space and 180GB of bandwidth at $40USD per month. I did use a coupon I obtained through another source and I’m glad I did their service has been unbeatable! They offer really great services for those who want to open up their own webhosting company such as you can purchase your own Modern.Bill through them they will install it for you!*

They also have a great promo called the BLOGGER PROMO!! you get 500MB of space and 20GB of bandwidth for only $50 dollars FOR THE YEAR!!

However if you’re looking for something a little bigger I snagged us a treat! I spoke to the staff about this and was able to score you guys a coupon! I’m going to do this for more companies to try to bustle up coupons for companies I tested out and or recommend!

Make sure to use the “TBW” coupon and you’ll get $2 dollars off anything you purchase. It is a recurring coupon so you’ll permanently get $2 dollars off even the smallest plan a month every month!
