Hey guys, just wanted to post a short post summing up my winnings this week and keep you informed.

The contest over at WinningTheWeb ended with a huge bang!

I was one of the lucky winners and happened to win 2 great prizes:

• $100 Cash courtesy of The Social Millionaire

• OIO Publisher account ($37 dollar value)

Earlier in the week, I happened to win money over at PerfectBlogging for being one of the top commenters. I put some effort into being a top commenter over at PerfectBlogging because they have a fair amount of RSS subscribers (450 +) and probably a fair amount of website traffic. I figured why not be a top commenter, get some extra exposure for my blog, and give myself a chance to win money?

• At PerfectBlogging.Com, I ended up winning $25 dollars.

Today is the It’s the final day of the craziest internet marketing contest ever. If you haven’t already signed up to participate, I highly encourage you to at least sign up and get some entries. There are tons of great prizes to win and judging by the participant numbers, everyone has a great chance to win. The contest ends at approximately 9 p.m. eastern daylight time - so don’t hesitate if you were thinking about signing up! It’s been an epic contest and I’m hoping that I win something great.  I’ll definitely let you all know if I win any prizes :)

There are an estimated $15,000 in total prizes including: cash-money, 1 iPod Touch, tons of advertising on popular blogs, internet marketing training, memberships, an affiliate summit east pass, web site subscriptions, blog themes and many more. The list is insanely long for me to recap.  Gyutae’s contest has increased the subscriber count over at WTW from under 400 to nearly 900 in less than 1 month!  This contest has been a lot of fun for me to participate in and I hope everyone else feels the same.

Though I really enjoy posting everyday on Andrew Pavelski dot com, I also enjoy working on my other online projects. Lately, I have been cranking out some really quality posts on one of my other blogs and have seen awesome results with very little promotion. I plan on focusing more of my efforts towards some of my other projects and see what will happen with some decent promotion. Don’t think I’m going to bail out or put forth less of an effort here - I wouldn’t do that.

Why I’ve decided to cut back on my posting frequency

Video blogging is “the future of blogging”

Whether you enjoy video blogging or not, it is a thing of the future and is currently being utilized by many bloggers across the net to give them an edge on their competitors. People cannot get enough of Darren Rowse’s videos over at Problogger.net and many bloggers are starting to realize that creating a video can be a pretty valuable tool to help promote their website or blog. Though I’ve never personally created a video, I have thought more about how the use of a webcam has revolutionized blogging and has proved to be a great medium for bloggers to share their advice through. If you haven’t considered making a video to help boost your blogging career and promote your website, you may want to seriously reconsider! There are so many benefits that video blogging has to offer, that you’d be really missing out if you never give it a shot.

If you won the lottery today…

If you won the lottery jackpot today and had all of your finances settled would you throw a big party and skip blogging for the day? …Or would you immediately share the fact that you won the lottery with your blog readers? Winning a large amount of money is exciting, feels great, and has potential to make the financial part of life much easier! What I want to know from you: “If you won the lottery, would you still blog?” Be completely honest with me and yourself… feel free to share your response in the comments section below… I am very curious to find out. Would the jackpot winnings influence you to change direction in life and cut back on blogging? Would you convince yourself to quit blogging altogether? I have been asking myself this question for awhile and have wondered how my career as a blogger would be affected if I won the lottery.

Making a great contribution to my “successful blogs” section of Andrew Pavelski dot com last week was a great analysis of Courtney Tuttle’s Internet Marketing School. Last week I discussed why Court’s website has drawn in such a large crowd and how he was able to reach success relatively quickly in the blogosphere. There is a lot to learn from Court’s experience and I’m truly glad he enjoyed reading my analysis! This week, I’ve decided to take a deeper look at a blog that is packed page-to-page with quality content. I think that the number one reason for this blog’s success is due to the sheer amount of value that the author Maki [a philosophy student from Toronto, Canada] shares with his readers. I discovered Dosh Dosh sometime in late 2007 and can fairly say that its content has stood out amongst other blogs and quickly captured my attention!
