The Struggling Blogger

Though I have posted this already on my Money OnLine blog, I’m posting it here too to increase my chances of winning! Well, with more than 70,000 EntreCard credits and lots of great prizes at stake, who wouldn’t want to win?

This contest is being held by Freebie Reporter to celebrate the new look of his blog. And with lots of sponsors to boot. Now, let’s get to the prizes and list of sponsors.

1st Prize:
30,000EC from Freebie Reporter

Finally, something came out from my struggling. In spite of my problems with PR, readerships, visits, subscriber and all, an opportunity managed to slip in.

Although quite hesitant, because of previous failures, I went for it still. This time I’m not really expecting anything… until I received this in my email

Nice! It felt great! It wasn’t really that big an amount, but hey! it’s my first. And I do hope it won’t be my last but instead open more opportunities for this Struggling Blogger.

If by chance, you haven’t signed-up with Pay Per Post yet, here’s where you can get a writing opportunity at Pay Per Post

I logged in at EntreCard yesterday and I noticed the the latest buzz posted at the dashboard: “announcing something BIG very soon…” and that’s it! just a single line with nary a hint in it… just something BIG. But I’m sure it’s enough to arouse curiosity in the EntreCard community (well, I’m curious), and I’m sure I am not alone in anticipating the details of this announcement.

I do hope it will top the biggest EntreCard contest which was just finished. And I won 1,000 EC credits in that contest, my lucky streak at EntreCard has begun and I’m pretty sure I’ll get something bigger this time.

Or better yet, I hope I could be given the chance to join the list of sponsors for the contest, like they did to the others before. Well, I do have 1,000 EC credits to spare. It will be a good opportunity for me to put my winnings to good use.

But whatever is cooking, I sure hope they reveal it soon. I’m sure EntreCarders are already excited and anticipating what could this BIG event be. Perhaps they might finally give away Graham’s car? No, I guess it’s something bigger than that.

One guess is really as good as the others, so the best thing to do is just wait for it. I’m sure that once it is reavealed, the whole blogospehre will hear about it. With the more 15,000 active blogs already registered, it will definitely create a buzz ( a loud buzz). And if you’re still not one of us… you’re missing out!

Basically we want to belong in a community, even the most introvert amongst us would like to have someone whom we can talk to. That’s why we join clubs, communities, forums, classes and what-have-you’s. Because no man is an island. We definitely need companies, admit it or not, we need others too. Yes, even the most self-reliant person, needs someone beside him.
