Hi All! I've decided to start a writing contest. Yes, another one. Details: What is this? It's a writing contest, very easy, and in the end everyone will get payed. What do I need? Main idea is to warn people about online dangers! I need you to write some kind of story, report, or whatever, about the best way to Rob, Scam, Lie to earn money online, etc... Minimum 300 words. Yes, you read well. In the end how does this work? I'll pay everyone 1 cent per word delivered and will pick up a winner for the contest. I need your texts asap (in 24 hours the better), in perfect English (yeah, I know...) and ORIGINAL CONTENT. I will check Copyscape, Plagiarism Checker, Google, the Pope... everyone, so don't try to fool me. How do I choose the winner? I'll post all articles at Digg. The winner is the guy/gal that gets more diggs within 15 days. Prize is $20. I know it's a bit low, but if it goes well I'll have more soon. All payments are made by paypal only. When you finish you send me a PM with your text or an e-mail if you prefer (pm me to ask contact) along with your word count and paypal ID. You can send more than 1 text if you want, as long as those are different. Please post any further questions here!
No Offence ! but people can try to get more diggs by asking their contacts and maybe the best story wont be able to win the contest.Just my 2cents.No Offence !!
I think the idea of this contest is to boost their website in whatever way.The most beneficial method of doing this is not necessarily to have the best quality content, but perhaps the most popular, and having numerous diggs does portray that.
Yeps ! thats right but you saw it from a Webmaster's point of view and I saw it from a writer's viewpoint
Mmmm... You're both right and wrong. Yes, of course everyone can ask friends to hit the digg button. Yes, of course I want to boost traffic. But: 1 - I didn't say I would disclaim the digg links / site URLS before the end of contest 2 - I am paying for content here, all content, so what I'm offering as a winning prize is for the little extra traffic I can get.
Sorry, I'm interested in entering this, but to be clear, you want us to write about ideas on how to scam people?
