Do I join now? No but early bird catches the worm..

No, the contest is not open yet but if you Subscribe via Email NOW – or if you are already an email subscriber – and please do leave your comment below telling the world your intention to join the contest, there will be additional 3 entry points just to reward you for being an early bird. See I told you that early bird catches the worm..

How does that sound?

upcoming contest July 21, 2008 at 11:20 pm: Great job on securing sponsorship that takes skill.
Piss Biscuit July 22, 2008 at 2:09 pm: @ Yan: I just e-mailed you so go check it for me. And now that I see you’ve got this posted… I guess I can’t be a top sponsor anymore! PooPoo!

Anyway, I love the new look… it’s totally awesome and I can’t wait to see what you’ve got going on over here! I’m excited!

Yan July 22, 2008 at 8:51 pm: @EmmaB: Thanks! You certainly have earned yourself additional 3 points.

@Best Videos: I couldn’t find anything similar to your email address on the subscription list..:-) so let me know if you have done so.

@Hussein: Thank you for your interest. I have promised the sponsors that I’ll be taking not more than 10 sponsors for this contest so I guess yours came in a little too late. Have you ever thought of joining the contest?

@upcoming contest: Thank you and it could only happen with the great support from the sponsors.

@PB: Thanks, PB. I could always rely on your support.
David Shaw July 23, 2008 at 7:33 am: Shame you are not looking for more sponsors! I was going to make you an offer!
Yan July 23, 2008 at 7:50 am: @David: You have something in mind, pal? You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours..:-)

BTW, I couldn’t get to your site lately, what happen?
Hussein July 23, 2008 at 2:34 pm: @Yan : I see. Thanks anyway. I will be definitely joining the contest. :D

@SE7EN: 3 points for you to be added to all the points you are going to earn when the contest is on. But please don’t eat the bird, you naughty cat…:-)

Yan July 24, 2008 at 3:24 pm: @Hussein: The best is yet to come for the grand prize as the sponsor is still working on it. I’m sorry, pal I wish I could let you in but they came in earlier than you and I have to make good my promise.
G July 24, 2008 at 9:02 pm: Another contest. It just keeps poppin’ up. I wonder if I’m ever gonna win.
Yan July 24, 2008 at 10:50 pm: @G – Don’t you wanna try your luck here this time, G?
Piss Biscuit July 25, 2008 at 12:29 pm: I’m guessing I’ll have to join this contest just because it’s loaded with to many awesome prizes! :-)

That said… I’m not sure if i can play, but I would love to earn me some ad space on some of those blogs you’ve got there! So if I can be counted in… so be it. If I’m out by default… I’ll just sign up under another blog I’ve got… :-P

Can’t wait to see what the buzz is all about.

Piss Biscuit July 25, 2008 at 12:36 pm: Yan… I can’t imagine why none of these other readers had not stumbled you yet… but I’m a team player…. you’ve been stumbled!
Yan July 25, 2008 at 1:43 pm: @Piss Biscuit – You have always been a team player and we all know that. I guess they are more interested in winning the prizes than stumble it in my favor. Thanks for the stumble, PB.

And as the reward for that, here’s the fact: I don’t see the reason why you couldn’t join in this awesome contest. But when you win your own prizes, you just have to give it to me..if that’s fair to you.. *wink* ;-) No. it was just a joke…. but hey, why not? I love to have your review of my little blog the PB-style..

Till then, pal. You have a nice day ahead…
JK Swopes July 26, 2008 at 12:56 am: Oh snap!!!! This is an awesome contest. Who are you and how did you get those sponsors!

I don’t know about everything else personally, but they look awesome!

I can tell you as a member of lifefoc.us that that is an awesome prize as well.

I’m thinking I need to be wining some of this stuff!!! You need any more sponsors? I could to something for the top winner….or…all of them, I’ll feature them on my new interview blog! :) Let me know….

I hope I win SOMETHING! lol…..yummy

JK Swopes’s last blog post..IMwithJoe flips out on moneybites.com and Market Leverage
Yan July 26, 2008 at 2:18 am: @Joe – I pick the right people to contact and they have been more willing to help me on my very first contest. PB has been very much supportive of it and you can tell it from the prizes he is sponsoring.

I’m a nobody and I thank all the sponsors who have put the trust in me as a new kid on the block by giving something in return of some publicity.

It all boils down to what you can offer them in return. There is no free lunch in this world, Joe. It’s always the case of win-win for anything to work out well.

I’m no longer accepting any sponsor but if you have something really special to add more value to the contest, drop me an email and we’ll talk.

Otherwise, you are most welcome to join in and win some cool prizes apart from your flip mino..:-)
JK Swopes July 26, 2008 at 2:30 am: @ Yan

I hear ya! Good job, and I look forward to it…I think I will stay out so I can try and win something… lol

I can always try and contact the winners after the contest! :)

JK Swopes’s last blog post..Non-cash cashflow and indirect profits. How much are you really making?
Yan July 26, 2008 at 3:16 am: @Joe – I hope you do win some prizes here, just to stay tuned and subscribe via email and make yourself eligible for the contest as the best is yet to come.

By the way, the last time you commented here, you left your url without the www so all those comments you just left don’t count into your previous ones. Here what I will do: I will manually edit your url so that you could be at the top of the list and well, if you keep the momentum, it’s time you send me your 125×125 banner..:-)
JK Swopes July 26, 2008 at 7:19 am: @ Yan

Hmmmm, I usually don’t use www? I usually just use http://imwithjoe.com

that’s what it shows up as over on the side bar? So which one should I use?

I did change my email that I use when commenting, maybe that messed it up lol…

can you fix the email in my other ones and make them all show joe [at] imwithjoe.com?

thanks :)
