Suzanne Franco The Next Blogging Idol

written by John Chow on November 13th, 2008

Blogger and John Chow dot Com reader, Suzanne Franco, needs your help to become the next Blogging Idol. Currently, she is in 10th place.

Blogging Idol is the creation of Daily Blog Tips. The competition runs from November 1st until November 30th. During that period, 7 points will be awarded to the competitors, on the following way:

  • 1 point to the competitor with the highest increase on the number of RSS subscribers
  • 3 points to the competitors (one for each) with the highest number of votes on the open voting session
  • 3 points awarded by a panel of judges

Right now, the competition is in the RSS portion. The voting portion will start next week. You can help Suzanne win the RSS race by subscribing to her blog.

Why I’m Supporting Suzanne Franco

Suzanne was extremely creative in her pursuit of the Blogging Idol title. She sent me the below video plea as part of her roundup to gain guru support. Anyone that is willing to go this far to get my attention has my vote!

  14. This shows what chutzpah will get you. How many other Blogging Idols could have requested John Chow’s help? Plus Suzanne did it in a unique, don’t ignore me manner; yet, not overly aggressive either. Actually, her sincere charm helped sell this I am sure.

    You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. You don’t receive because you don’t ask.

  15. i add your rss to my reader but not for the the next blogging idol. because your work is deserve this. now you have a follower from Turkey.

  16. You just opened yourself up to be flooded with more video pleas! :)

  17. blogging idol? it’s like in germany! every TV- Station has an series, like german- spuerstar or german-idol. ok, but why not!

  18. I must say that Suzanne has worked really hard! A different video for everyone!
    Way to go Suzzane! Ive subscribed to your RSS from Google,Yahoo,Firefox and Email :P

    Good Luck! :D

  19. Congrats Suzanne on getting the post from John, I watched your video yesterday.

  20. Suzanne,

    ” Suzanne Franco ~ the Newest Blogging Idol? ”
    Now we have Blogging Idol and if American Idol offered you the same entry, I’d vote twice for each one? You deserve to WIN for 2008 and in 2009 we can all vote for another entrant because every one of us deserves a chance. Good Luck Suzanne.

  26. I didn’t bother to watch the video. Begging to be #1? What kind of a contest is it? What’s the value of being #1 if you didn’t really earn it?

    Kurt

    • Kurt ~ That’s funny! I’m certain you don’t follow me or my blog … because if you did … you would know what I said, and more importantly, why I did the videos. I did them to get my readers involved and to have some fun with it. I wanted to show my readers how to think outside the box and to play a little too. I’m not #1 in the RSS subscription portion of the contest … sooooo … guess we’ll just see how it plays out. I certainly respect your opinion … *SmiLes* Suzanne

      P.S. Unless of course you really DID think it was clever and you’re just hoping to create a bit of controversy and hope for some traffic ;) Nice one! LOL

      P.S.S. Enjoyed your site

  27. Hey Suzanne, I subscribed to your feed. Looking forward to your tips. All the best!
