Milking Entrecard – A Hidden Advantage
Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?
Before all the changes came down to Entrecard, totally destroying the free-for-all (both literal and figurative) advertising avenue for bloggers, it was a pretty nice way to generate traffic for blogs. Although it now sucks a bit more than it used to, it's got one major feature that is, in my opinion, worth keeping it around for.
Yeah right...Entrecard sucks now.
You may be right about that. But the truth is that I have been checking the site every now and then, and it's paying off. What feature is it that I'm hooked on?
Duh. The forums. Specifically the 'promotions and events' section.
In addition to the maniacal points-for-comments offers, people like to also post their blog contests. The major advantage to this is that there doesn't really seem to be a huge amount of people paying attention. How is this beneficial? Easy, the fewer entrants in a contest, the higher the odds of winning become. Especially if you are like me and have multiple blogs (since many contests require entry 'posts' which give you a designated number of points for the contest drawing). Shifting the odds in your favor is a great way to score free stuff from contests.
I'd recommend watching the Entrecard forums. You never know when something good will pop up.
