UPDATE: The contest is up and running. Click here to participate.
I have been mailing many bloggers for donations for my upcoming contest and one characteristic which I found common amongst those who are well established and famous in the industry is their honest response to every email which they receive. Same is the case with David Airey who took barely 5 minutes after I suggested him a set of options which he could choose from from for the donation to my blog’s contest. I had the reply in my inbox and I was on cloud nine.
David has promised me a 45 minute consultation for a winner who is looking for a logo design. Believe me, having interacted with David you gonna get a clear picture as to what you need in your logo which will help you in the time to come when it comes to building your brand. He might not be the best (and who is the best?) but he is no less than the best! Judge him yourself by observing his portfolio and still if you think you aren’t satisfied than read what his clients say about him.

I have been working hard to collect donations for my blog contest and for the same I sent a message to Aibek of MakeUseOf. Hardly two hours had passed and I had the reply in my mail box that he was giving away a free directory submission worth $50. Now I know why he is SO famous. He is quick and he is good to everyone.
This was just a short update that I have a free directory submission worth $50 for the contest which will help the winner get listed in the MakeUseOf Directory. For this you need to have a web or mobile application that you want to promote. If it fits the directory requirements than Aibek will personally review it!
With around 1.8 million page views monthly I am sure you will get the publicity you looking for.
Check other prizes on the contest post and gear up for the contest. It will start on 21th of April.

Donations have been flowing like they won’t stop and I have been updating the contest post regularly but these two donations are damn good and I had to write about them separately. Believe me, you gonna love them!
45 Minute Consultation On How to Optimize Your Blog
This 45 minute consultation is from the very experienced blogger Liz of Successful Blog where she will give 45 minutes from her very busy schedule to the winner. The winner can talk about his experiences and learn some really important tips from Liz.
Liz is one of those few bloggers who started from nothing and today are amongst the best in the business. Darren of ProBlogger has mentioned about her many times and similarly many other huge bloggers talk about her. Getting help from her means making friendship with her and who knows if this friendship gives you that recognition which bloggers die for. (Even I am working hard for the same.)
Two ProBlogger Books
Darren of ProBlogger recently announced that he has teamed up with his friend Chris Garrett to release a book which I think will be the gold mine for new bloggers.
Sara of DigitalPrank mailed me to inform that he was willing to give away something for my contest but was confused as to what to give. I suggested him the ProBlogger book and he willingly accepted the offer. So what we have in store are two ProBlogger books for two lucky winners.
Check the contest post for all the prizes and the updates.

Just 4 days back I had announced the plan of a contest for my blog and requested my readers to donate stuffs they can and I am shocked with the way donations have come.
Here goes the list of prizes which are confirmed as of today:
The expected contest duration will be from 21st April to 31st of May. I will be busy with my exams during this time so I think a juicy contest will be enough to keep the readers intact. Although the necessary tech posts (already written and timestamped) will keep flowing in like before.
What You can donate?
Literally anything! Be it cash, free service, review in your blog, some advertisements in your blog or whatever that will attract my readers to your blog once I mention about you and your prize in my contest posts (they are going to be many posts so you get many back links.)
What you earn?
- This blog is PageRank 3 so you get PR3 back links.
- A review to each blog which made a donation.
- Back links from all the other contest posts which will be about informing my readers as to how the contest is going.
- After the contest ends and people win different stuffs then I will interview each winner on my blog and this way you earn one more positive review on my blog from that winner.
- A link ad in my feed footer for the time period till the contest runs (that might be around 45 days.)
You still have around 8 days before the contest starts. Take your time and shoot your donations. Believe me all of us are going to gain good amount of links+publicity from the contest. Your donations will make this contest more attractive so let them flow..
And do remember to subscribe to my blog feeds so that you are up to date with the contest happenings.
UPDATE (13th April) : Two more juicy donations added to the list above.
UPDATE (14th April) : Another donation from a leading blog added.
UPDATE (18th April) : Donation from David Airey added.
