Gyutae Park over at Winning The Web has came up with another awesome contest. He is giving away $5,348 in cash and prizes put up by well know companies.
Park has done a text book case in how to stage a contest that will generate a lot of buzz and get a lot of people to enter. And the best part is, his out of pocket cost is almost nothing (aside from ordering this review) because all the prizes are sponsored. If you’re thinking of doing a contest, Winning The Web is a good example to study. You should enter not just to try and win a prize, but also to learn how a contest like this can help increase your traffic.
