Ok guys.  I was looking through the stats today (not your wimpy stats, the huge stats program at the backend of this server) and comparing it to my Google Analytics data…  We can help ourselves greatly by adding a FEW MORE BLOGS and getting our daily posts total above 50.  Yes, FIFTY.

This would be of HUGE benefit to us all!  So, I have decided I will run a contest between now and June 1st to see who could get the MOST NEW BLOGGERS here by June 1.

Your family, your friends, random people on the net…  The winner will be the person who gets the most new bloggers on tangents — but these must be ACTIVE bloggers; who post at least 3 times per week.  So, to give time I will not pick the winner unti June 10th.  I will just end the contest on the first — then pick the winner.

THE PRIZE = 1 OF OUR FAMOUS “BASEMENT” ITEMS

Yes.  The winner will be able to pick (and keep) one item from our infamous “basement of stuff”.  Some of the items down there includes (all is new in box):

• Video Camera w/ Green Screen & Effects Software
• Remote Controlled Airplane
• LCD Photo Watch
• Shark DustVac
• TV Poker Game
• 2GB Ipod Nano w/ Video (knockoff)
• Certificate for Endless Backrubs (for “taylhis” only!!)
• Various Indoor Water Fountians
• Digital Web Cam
• DVD Player
• Many Various Toys & Gifts

So, try your hardest.  Not only do you get a cool prize but you will get the reward of seeing you listed as the winner on Tangents.org and will benefit from the extra bloggers / posters.

HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO GET NEW BLOGGERS:

#1 – Send an eMail to Your Friends:
Hello,
I have recently been blogging in my spare time and it has been very fun.  Right now I am in a contest to see how many new people I can get to blog so I thought I would ask you to give it a try.  It is really easy and really fun.  It is a great way for us to keep each other updated on our daily lives.  Also, you can make a little money by adding Google AdWords if you want.  It is free to do and you can make a little money (LITTLE!).

To start your blog go to http://tangents.org/wp-signup.php and signup.  Be sure to enter your correct email address so you can complete your registration.  If you need any help setting up your blog just contact me and I will be glad to help you.  Once you get started it is very easy!!

Hope to see you on Tangents!  If you start blogging be sure to email me your blog address so I can add you to my favorite blogs and also send it to the site admin (so I can win the contest).

HOPE TO SEE YOU BLOGGING!

#2 – Post on Message Boards
Some message boards will allow you to setup a sig in your profile.  Change this signature to something like “Get a Free Blog at Tangents.Org and Make Money!”.  Notice that “Free Blog” is a link to http://tangents.org/wp-signup.php.

You can also do it through a normal post.  If you make a *REL* post (let’s not spam here) telling people how you like to blog now and concluding that they can blog with you by visiting http://tangents.org/wp-signup.php then that is good too!

#3 – Tell People at Work, Church (or Rehearsal!)
Tell the people at you work or wherever that they should checkout your blog and that they should start their own because it is fun and free.

BE CREATIVE. 

I know everyone on this blog can get some new people.  It will benefit everyone by increasing the visibility of each blog; especially those already established.  Our Google rankings have been steadily increasing and if we get a few more active blogs going we will DRAMATICALLY increase traffic to all of our blogs.  Then we can all learn how to use affiliate programs to boost your profit far beyond the little AdWords money.

WHO WILL BE THE WINNER!!???…
