Building RSS GWPYesterday I was browsing through my comments, as I do many times everyday to reply to them all and I came across the following comment from Jacob from Group Writing Project.

David, you should consider entering this tip in my Building RSS Group Writing Project:

http://groupwritingprojects.com/blog/building-rss-group-writing-project/

All you would need to qualify for over $350 in prizes is to add a link to the announcement post at the above link. Although additional tips before Sunday night’s deadline would increase your chances of winning even more.

If I am being honest I had not really heard much about groupwritingprojects.com but after reading through the link he provided, I decided that it looked like a good deal.

What is it all about?

The goal of the project is simple:

Our goal: create an ultimate guide of methods, tips and tricks explaining how to grow blog subscriber numbers.

A guide so good, so useful, that every blogger will want to keep the e-book handy for reference.

And when they do, you and your blog will be a part of it.

The project is asking people to submit articles related to RSS that will be considered for use in an E-book, that could be read by bloggers all over the world. I would recommend this project to anyone who has written, or is going to write about RSS on their blogs, it is a great way to gain some extra exposure of your blog, there are a few rules however:

  • List your ideas for raising blog subscriber numbers in a blog post or, if your blog readers won’t be interested in that post, prepare the list in a separate HTML file, Word or OpenOffice document.
  • Research as much as you like but no plagiarism please. Cite if you copy quote.
  • All tips should be written with the idea that children WILL be reading them.
  • If you do a blog post, link back to this announcement.
  • Recommended: use any of the 4 logos included here in your post.
  • Multiple entries are allowed as long as they all arrive before the deadline (13th July). We want to have as many tips as possible.
  • To submit your entry, leave a comment here below with your blog post’s permalink url or email your list to jacob [dot] share [at] shareselectmedia [dot] com. You can also send individual tips via comments to this post.
As you can see it is very simple to enter and has some great benefits, but it gets even better, there are also prizes up for grabs, check out this lot:
