Why becoming a product reviewer is not as easy as you thought – Part 1

I had a bit of discussion with a friend of mine a few days ago. She said how lucky I am (because I’ve been getting those wonderful gadgets to try and review on) and how easy it is to review those “free” review products. I tried to defend myself and told her that it wasn’t [...]



August 2008 Contest Update

Dear readers, I have an update on my August 2008 contest.

I was in contact with Dale Evans, a manager from Hightek Hosting, and managed to get another 1 year of U.S-based hosting + domain name offer for another winner! Isn’t that great news? Not only that, if you decide to renew the hosting at Hightek Hosting, they’ll give you 20% off the original price.

That means 2 lucky winners can have a whole year of free hosting and domain name now! (1 from Think411 and another one from Hightek Hosting)
The third prize is still the same, i.e 2 weeks of free advertising (125×125 banner) on my blog.

UPDATE: You can now win 3x FREE Hosting and Domain Name + 2 weeks of advertising on my blog. Please refer to the updated post here.

Hint: My contest is going to an end next week, so you still have time to be noticeable on my blog. Many participants unfortunately impressed me only for a couple of days and I’ve almost never heard of them anymore. Remember, to be picked as winners, you have to noticeable throughout the contest period! :)

Yes! First to comment… at last! :D Sorry, but I was planning to do that for some time! Anyways, the point is – THAT’S GREAT NEWS! So is there still a runner-up though, with the advertising prize? Does that mean there’s THREE prizes now, three winners? Or does the runner-up just get another domain now and the advertising prize is off?

By the way, is this the first time you mention when your contest ends, cause I read through all your blog posts from the time you first mentioned the contest and I couldn’t find any little mentions now and then about the deadline. Anyways, thanks for letting us know and thanks for getting another domain! :D

P.S. The funny thing was, when I wrote the blog post below on my website, I accidentally skimmed through the runner-up prize and thought it was two domains you’re offering as two prizes for two winners! So I posted that, but then realized my mistake and edited. Now though, my mistake is coming true! :D

P.P.S. Woah, my post became all black like Michael’s does! Weird…

Hi all,

When Michael contacted us regarding this special offer, we were more than happy to assist as we know how difficult it is for some people to consider getting their own space for blogs, community forums etc, so we thought of lending a helping hand.

Our hosting will offer you the full support of being able to setup blogs (Wordpress, B2 etc) along with forums, gallerys and much more, all with the touch of a button in the auto-installer that is included with the package. The package will come fully featured with everything our normal US Starter plan includes.

If anyone has any questions, they are more than welcome to direct them to us or via Michael :)

Enjoy and good luck!

Regards,

Dale Evans
Manager

OMG OMG OMG! :D This is really great news Michael! When I saw you wrote there is a “nice twist”, I thought: oh, no, he’ll cancel the whole thing. Sorry for that, I’m just a little pessimistic, maybe cause there are so many scams on the internet…
It’s good to know there are guys like you who are not just honest, but over-honest :D —> double hosts, double chances !
I go and correct the posts on my blogs. And thanks very much!
