Blogging From Scratch

BloggingFromScratch is taking part in the Blogging Idol 2 competition held at Daily Blog Tips. Vote for me and I would truly, madly and deeply appreciate it. Spread teh love.

Why you should vote for me

You should vote for me because I have exerted a lot, work and think hard for this competition. My Blogging Idol strategy is carefully planned into four phases with passion.

Phase 1: Giveaway a free ebook (First week)

I have released an ebook entitled Blogging to Success through Blog contests and give it away for free when people subscribe to my blog. I let the people know about this giveaway through forums and I received positive response. Yeah, giving away free ebooks got me some subscribers but still the numbers are not that impressive enough for me to win over lots of subscribers.

Phase 2: Blog contests and more contests! (Second week-Fourth week)

Just so you don’t know, blog contests brings a lot of RSS subscribers. Subscribe and learn more about this in my ebook. The contest on my blog was sponsored by PepperJam, Carlocab, PlugandPress, ProThemeDesign, Revolution 2 and these sponsors are huge in the Internet! Throughout this period, I made a lot of “quality” posts so they won’t just unsubscribe. I also drafted in the competition rules that they get more points if they refer people to join. I also did something innovative this week that boost my subscribers number.

Phase 3: Case study or series posts (Second week - Third week)

I made a case study about blog contests and turn it into series posts. The case study is based on my ebook. The only difference between the two is that the ebook covers topics such as how and where to find sponsors and my experiences between the two contests. The series post is How to increase blog statistics through blog contests. This series post is divided into four so people couldn’t help but subscribe to get the latest about the series.

Phase 4: Networking and guest posts (Third week - Fourth week)

Phase 4 is all about attracting new visitors to my blog and get them into subscribing. I already have a giveaway ebook, existing contest, quality posts and series posts, giving people plenty of reasons to subscribe.

How to vote

1. Go to Blogging Idol 2: Voting Session Is Open

2. Click on no.51 http://bloggingfromscratch.com

3. Hit the Vote button placed between the two polls. Poll is split into two because of the 99 answer limit

On the first week of November, I just came back to work from vacation so there’s a lot for me to do. On the second week, I got sick. On the third week, still busy at work and yet I managed to network with lots of bloggers. This fourth week, I will be on an out-of-town work related trip and be back after three weeks. And yet, in spite of these, I managed to increase my subscribers my 200. But I guess if you are passionate with what you do, nothing is impossible. If I can do this, then you can do it! I will adore you guys and gals if you vote for me.

Salamat (Thank you in Filipino)
