Spreadshirt’s Marketplace Safari Contest

Spreadshirt Marketplace is holding a great contest to give away 50 prizes worth $45 each. If there are more than 50 posts, winners will be drawn randomly. Spreadshirt Marketplace basically produces customized T-Shirts. Winners of the contest will be issued a coupon to redeem a product of their choice from the marketplace. The 3 best articles will get a $70 coupon each. All you need to do to enter is to browse the Spreadshirt Marketplace, choose a design you like and blog about it with a link to it. You may also provide feedback about the marketplace if you like. Contest ends 31st October so hurry. Check out the full details here.

For me, I really like the dirt bike design by xpressyourself as it looks quite slick and stylish and I happen to like bikes myself. Wearing a shirt with something you like printed on it will certainly help brighten your day, which I’m sure the great people at Spreadshirt Marketplace would love to do. Do support them by grabbing a few of your favorite tees while you're there!

OneBuckWiki Debt Page Contest

The debt page at OneBuckWiki is having a review contest where the best reviewer will earn a cool $25. This contest closes soon on 27th October so enter soon!

It is still early days at OneBuckWiki but the debt page already has some good content videos. I especially enjoyed Dave Ramsey's videos on how to become debt free. The debt page at OneBuckWiki also highlights the problem of debt from credit cards, which is quite common nowadays. The videos provide good informational content but to make the page more interesting, perhaps there could be some case examples of unique situations involving debt - plus some images or cartoons perhaps and maybe a commentary from the page owner. Another topic which could be considered is the rise of debt advice companies. Overall, it is a good start for the debt page and we will be looking forward to some more riveting content on the page in time to come.

OneBuckWiki – Don’t Miss The Boat!

Have you missed out on the phenomenon called OneBuckWiki or simply OBW? Don’t fret as you can still head over there and give Max and his team some support – they really deserve it. This is a very promising investment opportunity for a very low outlay – only $10 at the moment per page (and this was $1 per page just a few days ago). The reason for the jump in price is because they have sold 1,000 pages already. And in only a matter of days! So if you’ve missed out on the $1 pricing, you don’t want to miss out on the $10 pricing as the price will increase when 2,000 pages have been sold and so on. You get the page for the lifetime of the site (at least 15 years) and you can put your own content on it as long as you meet the guidelines set by the creators. You can resell the page at any time at any price – why, some people are already selling their wiki pages on eBay! So head on down to OneBuckWiki to buy your page today!

And there is one more piece of good news for me to announce – Blog Paradise is officially a new wiki term. Check out the wiki page created especially for Blog Paradise. I believe we are one of the first blogs to register their blog name as a wiki term! So history in the making! Go make history for yourself and head over there now!

To Spain With Love

If you’ve worked yourself to the bone, it’s time to relax and take a trip to beautiful Spain. Spain is an extremely beautiful and romantic country and you wouldn’t want to miss out on some attractions there:

Torre de Bujaco or simply The Bujaco Tower is an awesome landmark. Standing at 25 meters, it has also been called the “New Tower” or the “Watch Tower”. This exotic Arabic tower was once under Muslim control and its name is derived from Caliph Abú-Ya’qub, whose troops conquered the city way back in 1173. Another attraction is Muralla de Avila, which means “city walls of Avila”. Situated in Avila, which is the highest city in Spain, Muralla de Avila is a whopping 2,526 meters in longitude. You’ll want to spend more than a day there so do check out the hotels in spain when planning for your trip.

After a quick rest in one of the hotels in barcelona, be on your way to Sagrada Familia, which is one of Barcelona’s most popular tourist spots. This basilica by Antoni Gaudi is one sight you won’t forget very soon. La Boqueria hosts one of the oldest markets of its kind in Europe. The huge array of fresh produce is sure to captivate anyone. The Gorthic quarter or Barri Gòtic is at the center of Barcelona and has many small streets lined with shops.

Next, head to the capital of Spain, Madrid. Check out the finest masterpieces in the largest art gallery in the world – Prado museum. Then enjoy the flora and fauna at the Botanic Gardens. Finally, experience what it is like to be a king by visiting the Royal Palace before resting for the night in one of the posh hotels in madrid.

Five Dollar Wiki Contest

I must confess I am a fan of both OneBuckWiki and FiveDollarWiki! And there's an amazing contest going on there. If you're not already aware, FiveDollarWiki is a community of entrepreneurs, web marketers, and normal people like you and me who want to use the Internet to promote their businesses, blogs, websites etc and benefit from the collective traffic generated in the process.

For just $5 (at the moment that is), you can own a webpage for the life of the site - that is a guaranteed 15 years and maybe even longer. You can have your own content on the site - you decide!

And because the price of the pages go up for every thousand pages the creators sell, you are investing as well. Although there are quite a few similar projects out there, I'm recommending this as the downside is so small. If this takes off (and the signs are good, thanks to the hard work of Max and company), you're going to be able to sell your pages for a lot more. Even if it doesn't, you lose just a couple of dollars - not much risk if you ask me.

Furthermore, FiveDollarWiki is now giving away $500 worth of pages on FiveDollarWiki to a random winner who blogs about it. And our friends at FiveDollarWiki are so generous that they're even giving away $20 in FiveDollarWiki pages to bloggers just for entering the contest so everyone's a winner. So head down to their blog for more details to enter. Do also check out the blog at OneBuckWiki for more goodies as well.

Top Hosting Center Contest

Top Hosting Center is having a contest which will certainly interest bloggers like me who do not have their own domain address. All you have to do to enter is to write an original entry on your blog debating the importance of owning your own domain. The 3 prizes offered are as follows:

First place wins: one Top Hosting Special plan free for a year – with one free domain included.
Second and third places win: one Hosting Mega Plan 1 free for a year each (valued at $3.95 per month).

Contest ends 15th November so you have a lot of time to enter. Check out the details here.

For me, it would really help a great deal to own my own domain since I blog mainly about blog contests which my viewers can enter. If I had my own domain name which had the words ‘blog contest’ somewhere in there, it would be much easier for anyone to find, so viewership would be better. This could also mean more entries to these contest hosts so they benefit as well. Also, it would certainly project a more credible image. Best of all, I would not have to put up with all the limitations and quirks of a free domain. That will leave me free to exercise my creativity in presenting the best content and aesthetically pleasing format for my viewers. So here’s to my own domain (hopefully)!
