Secret Classroom Blog Contest--1800 Prizes

Hosted in Other Contests of Interest

PLEASE GO TO Secret Classroom Blog Contest With $1,800 in Prizes up for Grabs! TO ENTER THIS CONTEST!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FROM THE SITE:

I just found out today that I am the top affiliate in Joel Comm’s Secret Classroom affiliate program!

I want to absolutely STORM the search engines and show Joel that he should have chosen me over Jamie Luchuck and Charles Trippy to be the Next Internet Millionaire.

But I’m going to need your help, and I am willing to pay for it. I have $1,800 in cash and prizes that I am going to give away to my readers just in time for those holiday credit card bills. Does this motivate you to enter?

The Prizes!

1st Prize - $1,000 value (duh)
$1,000 USD CASH via PayPal

Need I say more? Use the cash to buy a copy of the Secret Classroom, pay off your holiday bills, or just go nuts at the mall. Its your money - if you win.

2nd Prize - $497 Value!
A Copy of Joel Comm’s Secret Classroom DVD Set

This DVD set contains all of the instruction that I received while on the Next Internet Millionaire. This month alone the secrets that these gurus taught me have generated more than $14,000 in revenue. If you are into internet marketing or just want to start making money online, this set is a must-have. Trust me on this one.

3rd Prize - $300 Value
A 22″ Wide screen Acer LCD Computer Display

If you are using a square monitor right now or something smaller that 22″, winning this display is a no brainer. Here are the technical specs for the connoisseurs among us:

Acer X221WSD 22″ Wide screen LCD Monitor
5ms, 1000:1, WSXGA+ 1680×1050, VGA, Color: Silver

How to Enter:

Entering is as easy or as complex as you want it to be. You MUST do three things to qualify for any of the prizes.

Add a link to your blogroll called Secret Classroom that links to http://www.nextinternetmillionairedvd.com. When we pick our winners that link MUST be in your blogroll. If you do not have a blogroll on your blog, please the link somewhere where it will appear on each page of your blog (as a blogroll would). This link MUST NOT have a nofollow tag or it will be disqualified.

A note to MySpace bloggers: You don’t have the option to do a blogroll. Instead of the blogroll requirement, add me as a friend and repost my bulletin about the contest in your MySpace account

Make a post on your blog Stating that you are entering Thor Schrock’s Secret Classroom Blog Contest. The words Thor Schrock must be linked to http://www.thorschrock.com, the words secret classroom must be linked to http://www.nextinternetmillionairedvd.com, and the words Blog Contest must be linked to this post (http://www.thorschrock.com/2007/12/06/secret-classroom-blog-contest-with-1800-in-prizes-up-for-grabs-enter-now/). You don’t have to write anything additional if you don’t want to.

At a minimum, this is how your post should look:

I am entering Thor Schrock’s Secret Classroom Blog Contest

Post a comment on any article on my blog EXCEPT this one. Make sure you use your accurate email address, your real FIRST NAME, and the URL of the blog that has a link in the blogroll when you make your post. This is how I will verify your entry and contact you if you win a prize, so don’t mess this one up!

I also ask that your comment be something of substance. Please don’t comment spam me, as spammy comments will be deleted, and that will invalidate your contest entry. For the effort of writing an original sentence, I have installed the Do Follow plugin so you will get a backlink for posting a comment.

Get 28 Extra Entries!

With over $1,800 up for grabs the thought occurred to me that you might want to enter more than once, or do a little extra work to increase your odds of winning.

For completing the three steps above, you get one entry. Here are some ways you can get additional contest entries and boost your chances of winning one of the three prizes!

Enter with Multiple Blogs

Write a substantive blog post on your entry.

While you are only required to perform the three steps mentioned above to enter, if you choose to write a substantive post about what the Secret Classroom is and why you want a copy, I will give you 10 additional entries.

You may make one substantive post per blog you enter into the contest. A substantive post is defined as a thought-out, grammatically correct post of 200 words or more. Your post may contain links to this blog or to http://www.nextinternetmillionairedvd.com within its content, but you MAY NOT link directly to Joel Comm’s Secret Classroom website.

5 Minutes for Mom HP Photosmart Printer Contest

Hosted in Other Contests of Interest

5 Minutes for Mom ALWAYS has awesome contests. Here is another great one for you to enter. Everyone can use one!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

August 28, 2007

Today HP Is Launching Their New Photosmart Printer… And We’re Giving One Away!

Written by Susan

HP Photosmart PrinterThis is hot-off-the-press, high-tech fun!

Today, Tuesday August 28th is the big launch date for the HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer.

Girls, this is something to be talked about. I have to admit, I’m not one for playing with electronics and high-tech gadgets, but some are made with a mom in mind and this Photosmart Printer has ‘mom-must-have’ written all over it.

I imagine many moms can relate to the dilemma of never having time to get their digital photos printed.

When you look around my house (or Janice’s house), you’d never know we actually have thousands of photos of our kids. In fact, basically the only photos anyone has ever seen of our kids are those we post here on 5 Minutes for Mom. All the other memories are reduced to bits and bytes that fill up our hard drives.

Sound familiar?

We love our digital camera and we’d never go back. But the only snag in the process is the photos find themselves stuck on a hard drive and we never make time to send them to the printers.

And as much as I love it that each time I get milk from the fridge I see a picture of a one-year-old Julia pushing her doll stroller last summer, I think I’m now going to tack up a picture of her pedaling her trike.

But enough about photos on my fridge… you probably want to know more about this gem of a photo printer. Well, let me tell you…

  • It’s tiny!
    Don’t start thinking you need to clear off a shelf for another full size printer. This cute little Photosmart Printer needs almost no space. It’s only about 10 inches wide, 4.5 inches deep and 5 inches tall.
  • The print quality is exceptional.
    I was astounded at the quality of the photos I printed. I do not believe anyone would be able to guess which photos I printed on this printer and which I had professionally printed.
  • It’s portable.
    A little handle makes it easy for you to take your printer with you to scrapbook parties, and you do not even need to bring your computer. It can run on batteries, or you can plug it in to any power outlet. Then you can simply pull your memory card from your digital camera, plug it into the printer and start printing. So as you scrap you can decide which photos you want to print and at what size.
  • You’ve got lots of options of how to transfer your photo files to the printer.
    The folks at HP really made sure this printer supported your favorite way to transfer files. You can use a memory card such as an xD-Picture Card, Compact Flash I and II, Memory Stick or a Secure Digital MultiMedia Card. Or you can send photos directly from your computer using either a USB cable or an HP Bluetooth wireless printer adaptor. If those aren’t enough options, you can also connect a PictBridge digital camera, or a USB flash/thumb drive or even an iPod!
  • You can print different sizes of photos.
    The printer can support several different sizes of paper including the commonly used 5 x 7 and 4 x 6. It can also print panoramic photos on 4 x 12 photo paper, and several other sizes such as 4 x 8 photo cards, photo stickers and more.
  • It can connect to computers running Microsoft Windows and Mac computers.
    If you’re using Windows XP or Vista, or Mac OS 10.3x or 10.4x your computer will be fine connecting and sending files to the printer. But remember, you can use the printer without a computer.
  • You can customize your photos directly on the printer.
    You don’t even need to load your photos into a photo editing program on your computer. You can remove red eye, sharpen blurred photos, improve brightness, color and contrast at time of printing. You can also get creative by drawing on your photos or adding frames, captions, clip art and special effects.
  • It’s so easy to setup and use.
    You can have your printer setup and printing in minutes. (And no, you do not need to call your husband. LOL) The printer comes with a quick setup guide and the printer’s online help guides you through the steps as well.

If you’ve got a hard drive full of photos and you’d like to get printing, leave a comment and let us know. If you also link back to this post to let your readers in on the scoop, we’ll enter your name in the draw for a free HP Photosmart printer.

Non-bloggers can still enter. We understand you can’t link back, but perhaps you can email a few friends… I’m sure they’ll be thanking you. US Shipping addresses only… so sorry to our Canadian friends.

We will draw the lucky winner on Monday September, 10th.

I recommend you add this printer to your list of Mom’s Back To School Supplies. Just think of all the quick hand-made birthday cards you can make for those countless birthday parties and Thanksgiving cards and Christmas cards. Not to mention covering your fridge with photos of the kids at soccer and trick-or-treating and on and on…

So, if we don’t draw your number or you just can’t wait until the 10th, hop over and order your own HP Photosmart A626 Compact Photo Printer at Best Buy or HPShopping.com.
