As you probably recall, last week I posted details of a “business card contest.” Well, the winners have been chosen and they are as follows:
1. Helen Heard
2. Deborah
3. Celeste
I will be emailing each winner to let them know in case they don’t see their name here. Additionally, each winner will be contacted by UPrinting.com in order to claim their free business cards.
If you did not win this time around there is no need to worry. I have several more contests in the pipeline, and many of the prizes are sure to help you to expand your freelance writing career.
For those who want to purchase their own business cards, consider UPrinting.com. I know that there are many online companies that offer business card printing and related services, but UPrinting.com is truly one of the best. They offer high quality solutions, as well as a great customer service experience.
Thanks again to everybody who entered, and keep an eye out for future contests!
As you are probably well aware, I frequently talk about how to market your freelance writing services as well as why it is important. That being said, I have never discussed the power of business cards. But what better time than now?
The good people at UPrinting.com have generously offered to sponsor a contest for free business cards. And since I know all of you guys and gals want to better your freelance writing career, I accepted the offer.
Here are the details of the contest:
1. I am giving away 250 business cards each to three readers.
3. Once subscribed, leave a comment telling us how you would use these business cards to advance your career. Not only will this enter you into the contest but it will also help us all to better understand how to successfully use business cards as a marketing tool.
4. Next Tuesday I will randomly select three winners.
* UPrinting.com can only ship to the United States and Canada.
Once the winners are selected, I will post them here. Make sure that you leave an email address (matching your RSS address) along with your comment. This will allow me to get in touch with the winners.
Here are some details of the prize at stake, straight from UPrinting.com:
They can choose any of our stocks, including the eco-friendly cover stock (13 pt. Cover Uncoated - Recycled) or the 14 pt. family in Matte, AQ, or UV at any custom size we offer such as square cards, odd sizes like 3×3, 2×2, etc.
As you can see, winners are going to get much more than basic business cards. The company is well known for their high quality business card printing. Even if you do not wind up a winner, I would still suggest UPrinting.com for all of your business card and related printing needs.
It is time to get started. I look forward to reading all of your comments, and providing three of you with 250 free business cards!
I was not sure how my first contest was going to turn out, but for the most part, I have been pleasantly surprised. While I did not get hundreds of entries, I did break into the double digits.
Congratulations to Michael Kwan for winning contest number 1. Michael is a fellow freelance writer, and runs Beyond the Rhetoric.
For the rest of you guys and gals, no need to worry. I have more contests lined up, and they are sure to be even better than this one. Keep an eye out for contest number 2 in the near future!
I have been talking for a couple of weeks about offering a contest to all my readers. Well, the time has finally come. Even though I am starting out small, I am sure that you will find this contest to be well worth your time.
This is the second book that I have written, and to this point, my most popular. Although it is based largely around the game of basketball, it also teaches life lessons at the same time. To give some details, Open your Heart with Basketball touches largely on how my life and basketball career were affected when I was diagnosed with cancer. As you can imagine, the lessons taught in the book can help you succeed in life, sports, and of course, business.
To give you an idea of the publicity that the book has received, cover quotes were provided by: Regis Philbin – television personality, Dick Vitale – basketball announcer, Jack Wagner – Pennsylvania Auditor General, and a foreword by Lute Olson – Head Coach of the University of Arizona men’s basketball team.
Entering the contest is quite easy:
1. Make a post on your blog announcing this contest, and linking to my site. You can use whatever anchor text you please.
2. If you have pingbacks disabled on your blog, send me an email or leave a comment with a link to your post. You may want to do this anyway just to make sure!
3. There is no limit on the number of times you can enter. If you have more than one blog, feel free to link from each one; it will better your chances of winning!
4. One week from today, August 14, I will draw a random winner. I will contact the winner right away, and upon receiving a mailing address the book will be sent out!
Although the retail value of this book is only $12.95, it is definitely a valuable tool for bettering every aspect of your life.
I am looking forward to a good response and many more contests in the future!
