Blog Paradise

The Ultimate Blog Contest

Written by Erz on Friday, March 07, 2008

The University Kid (TUK) is hosting a mega contest with lots of sponsors involved. Such contests seem to be springing up everywhere nowadays.

TUK is run by Jason Pereira, a young university student in Dubai. It is a make money online blog. While there are many of such blogs around, Jason only introduces money-making ways which he has tested himself. That's definitely a plus versus those who only copy content from others, tout get-rich-quick schemes or write paid reviews. His blog is nicely designed and neat, though he could actually use some of the white spaces in the margins so that his text is not so tightly clustered together in a narrow column. All in all, it is worth a visit.

There are several ways to gain entries to his contest - such as commenting, blogging about the contest, being one of the top ten commenters and/or subscribing to his feeds by email.

Here are all the prizes:

Wordpress Themes

- Two licenses for the Revolution Theme ($160)

Woa, that's a lot of prizes! Which one would I like the best? Of course the cash prize of $100. Why? It has been well documented and surveyed by several blogs that cash prizes are still the most popular in terms of what participants would like. And the best thing about cash is that you can purchase any of the other prizes up for grabs - whichever catches your fancy - hence cash is a prize which would appeal to probably the largest group of people out there.

If you're interested in entering, you can check out his contest post for full details.

Contest ends 5 April 2008 and the winners will be randomly drawn.
