    I'm not trying to be insulting, rather I'm trying to offer constructive criticism. With your poor spelling and grammar, you'd best hire a copywriter if you're thinking of running a blog contest.
    Otherwise it will fail right from the start.

    I have to agree.. If you spell like that on your blog, people are not going to take you serious.... But contests always work; just depends on what you're giving away. Once my income gets to where I want it, I'm giving away ipads and stuff...

    Blog contest is still worthwhile if the reward is also worth it.
    Also, if you are an expert in copywriting with reputable backround, then, go ahead and start a blog contest.

    Actually it is cool, this type of well meaning criticism helps as next time the OP will likely take his time when he next posts. Don't you think we ought to try and improve and become the best that we can be? Or do you live your life doing everything second rate?
    I train people to improve themselves. Trying to be the best is about self respect. Accepting less than perfection is for losers. I would shape you up in short order if you were working for me.:)
