That’s because Darren will be assigning the prizes worth $2,500 randomly to 10 lucky winners.

The last time round I set my sights on the $200 Amazon voucher.

This time round, the prizes look equally tantalizing, although I’d have to say my top picks are:

• The $100 Amazon gift voucher
• 30gb video iPod
• Nintendo Wii game console

Here’s the full list of prizes:

The Prizes

• DeveloperCube – a forum for web developers – is offering a $100 Amazon gift voucher.
• eMoms at Home is offering two free passes (worth $349 each) to a 12 week group coaching program that she’s running in January. The course (via phone) is about how to be more productive and build a business. Read more on it here.
• Thrive Web Marketing are offering a medium level webhosting package for a year that includes 100MB of webspace, 4000MB data transfer a month and more (worth $240).
• Rob Schaumer is offering a $100 gift card (of the winners choice) at GiftCertificates.com.
• The Blogging Times has offered $100 cash to their winner. Thanks to Minic for this prize.
• Information for Her Australia for Australian Women is offering $100 cash (via PayPal). This is a site for Australian women giving information on health issues, rural women, indigenous women and more.
• Poker on a Mac (a poker site for Mac users) is offering a 30gb video ipod to their winner.
• Dave Taylor from Ask Dave Taylor Tech Support and The Intuitive Life Business Blog is offering a copy of his book ‘Growing Your Business with Google‘ and $100 cash as his prize.
• 451 Press is offering one lucky winner a Nintendo Wii (worth $250). 451 Press is a blog network.
• bloglinkr is offering $100 cash or $500 in advertising credit on their service when they launch in the first quarter of 2007. bloglinkr is a new ad network exclusively for blogs and sounds like an interesting project to watch in the next few months.

(I put the prizes ahead because that’s what I’d want to see first if I was reading this post)

The writing project topic is “Reviews and Predictions” so it’s a retrospective/forward looking post. Once you’ve penned your posts you’d want to follow the submission deadlines Darren’s listed at: ProBlogger Group Writing Project – Reviews and Predictions.

If you’re keen on the prizes, it’s important to ensure that you follow the steps and get your entry submitted correctly.

The competitions writing project’s already drawn a fair number of entries with:

• 55 entries received on the first day (Group Writing Project – Day 1)
• 79 submissions from all over the globe (3 in languages other than English – a new record for a single day) on day 2 (More Reviews and Predictions – Group Writing Project Day 2)

Remember, submissions close Thursday (where you’re at), so submit it soon if you’re planning to participate.

Here’re some strategies I’ve been using in previous projects:

• Choose a Strong Headline: Other participants may not have the time to read all 100+ entries. Take an additional 1-2 minutes to mull over a powerful headline. I’d go further and say your headline is the most important part of your post. Spending 3 hours working on your content will come to naught if it doesn’t get read. A punchy, snappy headline like “$2,000 in Blogging Income in 24 Hours? Here’s How…” might get a little attention, wouldn’t it?
• Content Rich vs Pure Linkbait: Effort really shows and it’s more than likely readers can spot linkbait (intended purely to pull traffic, while providing little value) compared to creating a content rich post. If you’ve attracted readers to your blog, why not bring them the full 9 yards and provide a great experience and make new friends? I see the writing project as the opportunity to recruit a boatload of new readers. It’s important to have compelling content to draw your readers in, signup for the mailing list (and get the corresponding goodies like the Robert Allen free book). A strong post is one that is information packed, relevant to your readers and provides some form of benefit to your reader (If it’s a technique or tactic they can use immediately all the better)
• Model the Best: If you haven’t already submitted your entry, check out the other entries. What works? What doesn’t? More importantly, what techniques can you adapt to your own blog? How can you stand out from the crowd? What makes your blog posts unique?

For the last ProBlogger “How to” Writing Project, I wrote this post which continues to be one of the most popular on this blog:

–> 10,000 in your list in 30 days? Andrew Wee goes guerilla!

So today:

All hail, the Road to Wealth.

The book is subtitled: How to Make an Extra $50 to $100,000 a year starting with little or no money.

If you’re not familiar with the book, it’s got an intriguing premise with Robert taking on the St Louis Challenge.

He went to an unemployment line in St Louis and selected an unemployed couple who were:

• broke
• discouraged
• out of work

Within 90 days, Robert got them back on their feet with $5,000 in the bank using one of Robert’s techniques.

Within a period of 12 months, the couple had earned over $100,000 and appeared on an episode of Good Morning America with Robert.

Interested to find out how?

Get the book.

It might be out of print though, I couldn’t find it on Amazon.

You can order it through Robert’s website at MultipleStreamsofIncome.com.

Else if you’ve not got your free Robert Allen book yet, you could consider getting this one.

Go here: –> Free Robert Allen $99 Internet Marketing materials

They recur on a daily basis. Questions like:

• Is this a real promotion? Or a gimmick?
• Will he really send those books?
• Are these books rejects? Misprints? Are they damaged? Torn?
• What’s the catch?

Sometimes it’s really tough to be nice.

People doubt your intentions.

Redemption came yesterday.

I got my copy of Multiple Streams of Internet Income!

Courtesy of my joint venture partner Robert Allen. (Thanks Robert!)
In case you’re wondering this is the hardcover second edition of Multiple Streams of Internet Income.

Weighing in at 260 pages, its list price: $24.95.

Did Robert just give me earn $25 book?

It actually cost him closer to $35.

Take a look:

Air shipment from the United States cost about $11.50.

He will send it any country free of charge.

I checked the registration page this morning and there are still a few more copies left.

If you already have multiple streams of Internet income, you can select from other titles.

There are six books available

Have you got your copy yet?

If not, check out:

Exclusive: $99 Internet Marketing giveaway including Robert Allen book

Take action now.

Because my buddy Ryan has been bugging me about it forever.

Don’t you think your visitors want more stuff from you?

You can give them stuff like an exclusive article every week, can’t you?

I guess.

Then why don’t you?

It got me thinking, since I’m planning to build up an Internet Marketing community, it doesn’t make sense for me not to build a mailing list.

This will bring our interaction beyond just blog comments. (thought good, they limit the conversations).

I have been cracking my head on the ultimate package I could give to my list members.

So you may have noticed I have been a little quieter than usual over the past few days.

And now I can release the details.

I’ve worked out a deal with Robert Allen, pre-eminent wealth creator and author of Multiple Streams of Income.

Ok, this next part may sound a little crazy.

Some of you might not believe me, but here goes: Robert Allen is giving away copies of his books to my list members.

Huh?

He is giving away copies of his bestselling books (you have a choice of 6 different books, including the best selling (er, actually they’re all best selling…) Multiple Streams of Income.

This isn’t some flimsy Adobe PDF ebook that’s circulating on the Internet.

This is an actual book, a print copy.

You can hold it in your hands, read it, mark it up.

It’s what you find in the bookstore.

It’s sent direct to your home or office.

It’s sent f.ree of charge.

You pay n.othing for the shipping.

Just read the book. And apply the strategies.

Being an Internet Marketer, I have already requested for a copy of Mutiple Streams of Internet Income.

You may want to choose one of his real estate or wealth building books.

But, I really ought to let Robert speak for himself.

I was also thinking, how I could add value to the process: So in addition to what Robert is giving (the books retails for about $20 each, and Multiple Streams of Internet Income is out of stock at most online and brick and mortar bookstores), I am also giving away:

• Introduction to Internet Marketing: Covers basic Internet Marketing concepts and a good primer for those new to Internet Marketing
• Ewen Chia’s exclusive report on Affiliate Marketing: Includes the highly successful profit generating system he uses
• Undisclosed blogging bonus: Gives you an introduction to blogging and provides blog monetization strategies

Does that sound alright?

I think it’ll be a good introduction and I’m planning to regularly send quality content and attractive offers to the list.

This’ll help deepen the relationship and enhance our joint Internet Marketing efforts.

To take up this offer, you can fill in your name and email address in the sign up box for the Internet Marketing Insider (located in the top right column of my blog). You may wish to check your email address to avoid typos and miss the verification email.
