Didn’t make it to WordCamp in Kilkenny last weekend to learn about the business of blogging? Missed out on a nomination for the Irish blog awards in Galway at the end of March? Don’t worry, here’s another way to boost your blogging power.
Bloggertone, a business blogging community, has teamed up with BizSugar, a social media site, to hold the Sugartone Sweet Business Blogging Contest, which is free to enter and has USD$6,921 worth of prizes.
Those interested in getting a bit of free exposure for their business or in the hope of being headhunted will have to get creative though. Blog posts will be evaluated by their titles. However, if you’re not into blogging but nevertheless are full of opinions, there is also a prize category for people who leave comments on blog posts.
The winners of the Top 10 Titles will be decided on by the Sugartone team and will take into account the total number of votes and comments.
The Sugartone team will also decide the winners of the Top 10 Commenters and will take into account the total number of votes and comments as well as an appreciation of the value the commenters bring to the community.
Sugartone is a combined effort from Bloggertone, which began in Ireland and now serves as a blogging outlet to Irish professionals across a variety of industries to an international audience, and BizSugar, a social media site where people can share small business news and tips.
Although they can be written at any stage blogposts must be posted to Bloggertone.com between Monday March 15th at 4pm GMT and Wednesday March 17th 4pm. Bloggertone then submits these to the BizSugar site where they can be voted on within the same timeframe. However, there is no chance to use previously published blog posts – articles must be original content. Articles that have been previously published elsewhere are not eligible to be submitted for this Sugartone contest.
