Tickets Anyone?

It’s easy as brushing your teeth every morning! Don’t tell me you don’t because that’s an automatic disqualification ;-) Here’s a list of stuff you can do to gain tickets for the contest:

  • A blog post about the contest with a link to this post – 8 Tickets
  • Link to a sponsor that’s inside your desired package. You can include it in the blog post about this contest – 6 Tickets
  • Link to any of my posts. You can include this in the post about my contest too – 4 Tickets
  • To those who don’t have a blog or a website, subscribe to my RSS feed via email using the form on the sidebar. Include the email you used to subscribe in the comment – 2 Tickets

Contest Mechanics

The contest will be in a lottery system. There are only two steps to join, two steps!

  1. Grab a ticket (above)
  2. Drop a comment on this post and tell me what you’ve done and what package you want to bet your tickets on.

Let’s say you generated eight tickets, you can bet five tickets to package one and three to package two. Or you can bet seven tickets to package seven and the rest to package five. Any way you like.

Here’s an example comment:

I posted about this contest on my blog http://www.linkofyourpost.com/. That’s eight tickets for me. I want to bet five tickets to package one and three tickets to package two.

I will choose the winner for each package by drawing a ticket from a box – literally. It will be in a video post so all of you will see how it goes.

Of course the more tickets you have, the more chances of winning. Join now, this part of the contest will end March 9, 2008. Best of luck everyone.

Comments

  1. Have done the first 3 parts to gain 18 tickets:

    I’m putting 8 tickets for package one and 10 tickets for package two.

    Thanks!

  6. Ok, its me again sorry for my previous lethargic comments… So to summarize here are the following:

    A link to any of your post here: http://basketballnonsense.blogspot.com/ — 4 tickets
    Blog about this one and a link to a sponsor: — 8+6 = 14 tickets

    overall I have 18… I put 10 ticks on 1 and 8 on package 4..

    ignore my previous comments

  7. Haha
    Your website and money generated system is good.
    Now I’m trying to create new way to make money like you.
    Thanks my inspiration.

  10. Hey Carl, I am subscribed to your feed by e-mail for a long time, do I qualify?
    If so, I’ll bet my tickets on package 4 =]
    thanks!!!

  15. Hey Carl,

    Congrats with the one year anniversary mate…

    Just posted about your cool contest over at

    I’ve got a total of 18 tickets and I’ll bet 8 on Package Four and 10 on Package Seven Plz…

    All the best

  16. Hey there Carl!

    Yup I also decided to join this competition.

    By the way, what an awesome concept this competition. You get free backlinks and traffic.
    Smart move pal.

    I did all 4…so I’m entitled to 20 tickets right?

    Here’s mine:
    http://www.mr-review.com/my-blog/cool-resources/the-890783-contest-by-carlocab/

    I choose to put 15 Tickets on Package 1 and 5 Tickets on package 7.
    If we are not able to split them…I’ll go all 20 on Package 1.

    Cheers,
    Mr Review

  18. This is a clever way to initiate a viral inbound link generation to one’s blog and in return, people get rewarded with advertising space, nice! Thank for sharing. – Javier.

  21. Carl Ocab, here is my single post worth 18 tickets:
    I would like all of these tickets for package four(4)

    and the e-mail I used to subscribe for your RSS worth 2 tickets is
    [email protected]
    I would like those two tickets to go towards package five(5)

  22. Great contest! I completed #1-3 for 18 tickets. I’d like 9 to go to package #1 and 9 for #7.

    Here’s my post about the contest which includes the post to your other article and 2 links to sponsors:

    Thanks!

  26. Well, it seems too competitive. But I dunno to design any banner, even if I win any. So count me for any package. I’ll try to provide ad banners from some external help. I’m giving you the link to you in the post itself. Link to sponsor is for iPencil, so you may note my preference for Package Two, but anything will be OK for me :) . So 8+6=14 tickets in all for me.
    Check http://www.thecenturytimes.com
    Ooops, but you din’t mention for how long these links need to be functional to qualify:) ? …I mean when are you going to verify all these?
