Want to win $250?

by

I thought that would catch your attention. The folks over at Razz have a contest going on right now, and if you enter You could be the next RAZZ Idol.

That’s right. Just go to the site and use their Razz mixer – pictured above- and create a recording. They say that you can enter the contest by make a recording that introduces yourself, or perhaps a fake news report, an original DJ Mix, a Poetry Slam or Spoken Word, a comedy monologue, or you could make an advertisement that totally sucks up to the folks at Razz. Add a music intro to your recording too if you want.

I haven’t tried it out yet but the site looks very straightforward and easy to use. I most definitely will be entering the contest. They will pick 10 runner-ups who will win $25 each, and the grand prize winner will win $250. Winners will be judged by the staff at Razz and notified by email. You must use a background track, your voice and other sound effects to qualify for the Grand prize.

Good Luck!





You know what I’ve been doing this week?

by

Guess what I’ve been doing in what little spare time I’ve had this week? I’ve been surfing, surfing, surfing over at blogadvance. Actually I’ve been trying to type my posts and surf at the same time- not an easy task to do, not at all.

Blogadvance has been having a contest this month and they are going to give the top surfer $100. The contest ends today, and as I type this at 3 a.m. I’m in second place and closing fast.

Wish me luck! I should know sometime later today if I won or not. I could certainly use the money if I do.

Update:

I stayed up until 7 a.m. clicking away but my opponent was clicking too. We were about 500 points apart all night. I finally went to bed. My husband got up and started surfing for me at about 9 a.m. but my opponent hadn’t stopped. He woke me at 10 am to tell me he thought it was a losing battle. She was more than 700 points ahead of us and it takes about an hour to collect between 120 and 150 credits. The contest was to end at 12 noon. We conceded the race.

I could have used that $100 though. 🙁

Will you vote for my friend

by

Ah, it’s that time of year again. Yes, the Weblog awards are going on right now. In fact, they began on December 7th, and will end on December 15th. I believe that there are 45 different categories this year. I was nominated in a few categories myself but I didn’t make the final cut. Oh well maybe this year.

I was hoping that my readers would do me a huge favor though. Would you please go and visit the Weblog awards site and vote for my friend Mrs. Lifecruiser? She’s the sweetest lady and I just adore her site. Her posts are straight from the heart and if you let them, her stories will reel you in and take you to whatever place she happens to be talking about.

Please vote for Lifecruiser in the Weblog category best diarist?

You can vote everyday and there’s still five days left. Vote, Vote, Vote.

Thank you!

Win up to $3000

by

Yes you read that correctly!

I was surfing on bl0gmad today and I came across a site with a similar post as to what I’m currently writing. Unfortunately I can’t remember who’s site it was that I was visiting at the time otherwise I would link to them. If I figure it out I’ll link. Anyway, the posting led me to another site created by John Scott. His site is called Internet Marketing Bl0g and back in March he decided to create a contest that would encourage other sites to link to and write about lesser known bl0gs. His post is called “Clean up on aisle three”.

You can enter his contest by making a comment on the Clean up on aisle three post. If your site qualifies you could win up to $100 just for entering and playing along. The winning site will win $3000! He plans to give away a total of $10,000 between the $100 winners and the $3000 winner. To qualify you need to link to, and write about other bl0gs that are not in technoratis top 100 sites.

Easypeasy for moi! I’ve been writing about and rating just about all the sites that have bid to rent my bl0g for several months now. Not only here, but on Odd Planet as well. Just look at my latest posts on this site and on Odd Planet. Ha! I’m in! 🙂

John’s contest officially began March 1st and he plans on announcing a winner and awarding the prizes 6 months after the start of the contest. So I think that would be about August 1st.

Since March 1st I have done mini-articles or added links in my posts to 163 sites. That’s only Tricia’s Musings total. On Odd Planet I’ve rated or linked 55 sites, plus another 17 in the one contest I ran over there. For a grand total of 235 site articles and links NOT counting all of the “Mr. Linky” Links on the Memes.

Have you been rating sites that you like, ones that bid on your site, or talking about sites that have interesting posts on your own bl0g? If you have you might qualify for this contest too.

Update – I removed the links in this post because I was unable to find a post about the winners of the contest so I’m not certain that this was a true contest. Might have just been a link baiting scam.
