Million Dollar Portfolio

Well, January has come and gone and it’s time to announce the winner of my 500 Entrecard credit contest.

I was pleasantly surprised at the number of entries. It wasn’t hard to enter this contest as the rules allowed just about everyone to enter, but I did set it up in such a way that you could get multiple entries which always helps.

Before I say who won, I’d like to throw out some stats on this contest.

The goal of any blog contest is, in the end to gain readership. See, my thinking is if I can give you something of value, the more likely it is that you are going to come back and read what I have to say. Sometimes that’s information and sometimes it’s a Starbucks Gift Card. This time it happened to be 500 Entrecard credits. Entrecard is a great way for new blogs to advertise on more popular blogs for free.

Following is the list of entrants and their number of entries, according to the rules. The maximum number of entries you could get was 8.

Thank you to all who entered. I’m sorry I could only give away one prize this time around, but I guarantee there will be more contests in the future. If you didn’t enter this time, why not? Maybe you didn’t know I was having a contest. What better time than now to sign up for my newsletter by email. Each night at 7pm you will get an email containing the most recent posts (since the last one went out) so you can keep abreast of what’s happening here.

In unrelated news, 2008 is a leap year, so February is short. Maybe I should have a Leap Year contest…I’ll have to think about that one.
