How to enter

The iPod Nano and the John Chow dot com review will be given away to the person who comes up with the most creative idea to get more RSS subscribers. I don’t know if it’s very creative, but my idea is just to write stuff that people want to read and actually helps them. It’s not exciting, but in my experience that works 10x better than any “black hat” techniques.

Mr Chow has listed the rules for entering the contest as:

First, you need to subscribe to my RSS feed and check it every day for the rest of this month. Then you need to blog about it. Link to this post and/or to the post announcing the RSS competition and link to my RSS feed so your readers can sign up to it. Here’s an example of what I’m looking for.

“Help John Chow beat Shoemoney in their RSS competition. John is offering some great prizes for people signing up to his full feed RSS. Shoe is offering nothing so go John!”

After you’ve done that, send me an email with the link to the post. Once confirm the rules have been met, I’ll add you to the draw. Some of the prizes will be given away randomly to RSS readers but you will only know about it if you subscribe to the RSS feed. It will not be posted on the blog.

It’s a worthwhile competition to enter as the prizes are generally ones that will help you increase your earnings and make money.

Neither John Chow or Shoemoney will really lose the competition as they’ll both end up with an increased subscriber count - you can play your own marketing games by cashing in on theirs and getting your free reviews!!
