Win $100 in How2Blogger's Super Sexy Holiday 'How To' Contest

This article is part of How2Blogger's Super Sexy Holiday 'How To' Contest which you can see at How2Blogger's ‘How To’ site.

HOW TO SURVIVE WITHOUT INTERNET CONNECTION

1. Clean out and categorize bookmarks. Sites that you haven't visited for a month means it is not important anymore.

2. Go to Control Panel and uninstall programs that are not being used. Why deleting them is good even if there’s still plenty of space on the drive? Because it makes things like Scandisk and Defrag run faster and more effective.

3. Cleanup the office desk. You'll never know what you might find in the dark corners. Diassemble the ball of cable behind the desk. Untangling a cable ball can induce a state of Zen and it’s rewarding when the mouse reaches as far as it is supposed to.

4. Unplug the PC and clean-out the dust. I have discovered that my fan has built up a rabbit hutch to keep all the dust bunnies fuzzy enough to dwell. Never forget to clean the keyboard, too.

5. Talk to other people in the same room.

6. Look around and memorize the faces of your colleagues around. They all look the same, especially when you are looking at your system all the time and just see them in the sidelines. Try to recall their full names and associate with the face. Include their middle names, it is a good brain exercise!

7. Write blog posts using a blog client like BlogDesk or just the Notepad. Not being connected may force anyone to write about something different, like ranting or doing list on things to do when you have no internet connection.

8. Write down logins and passwords for all sites, blogs, email accounts, affiliate programs, webhost - - all information about your online life in a convenient but secure note.

9. Backup all important files and organize photos. Reminiscing on each memorable photo is a good way to while away the time.

10. Grab a notebook and a pen and write the meal plan for the week. This is a task you can also do even without internet connection with notepad or Word but sometimes, it is also good to check on how bad your handwriting got (after all those typing-only sessions).

11. If still bored, go through the temporary internet files and pretend the internet is still working!

12. Go out, see the sun, look up to appreciate the nice weather and pray that internet connection be back real SOON.

Win $10 and backlink from Prince John

I had been blogging for more than 2 years but it's just lately that I get the inspiration from other bloggers to be more focused and regular with my blogging schedule. Looking at the blogs sprawling in the net, it is very obvious that most of the online diarists are females. So why on earth do girls blog?

Prince John mentioned that blogging is a form of personal expression, a release and not just another money making tool.

He couldn't have said it any better.

Blog Contest: Win $25 Cash

Yentoo.com is a new blog about Home & Family, Health, healthy living and personal development. It's a pretty new but with good articles.

Great news is that they are holding a contest with a chance for everyone joining to win $25! All you have to do is do a short review like this and put a link back to the contest post and to the main page. Deadline for submission is October 31.

There will be so many participants I am sure but one lucky winner will be picked on November 1. Here's hoping to win!

The Win A Logo Contest


There's a contest where you can win yourself a professional custom logo from SOS Factory for your blog or $20 for the runner-up.

Check out The Prize Blog who is running a win-a-logo contest where a random winner will be picked on October 17.

What is the Ultimate Contest Prize?

The Contest Beat is having its own contest and you have the chance to win $50 that will go straight to your PayPal account or as an Amazon gift certificate. All you need to do is come up with the best idea on what will be a good contest prize. Don't scream "a million dollars!" because the prize has to be one that is less than $100. :-)

I decided to join the contest so here's my take on what would be a good prize:

I think no one is miserable to get cash as a prize. I know it's kind of boring but it is the most flexible of all gifts and you are actually giving the winner the freedom to choose what he/she wants instead of splitting your head on thinking what to give. It would be devastating to give someone an Amazon gift certificate when it takes ages for Amazon to deliver to his/her country right?

BloggingContest.com contest - Win $75

Bloggingcontest.com is running its very own blog contest with a chance to win $75 bucks paid directly to the winner's PayPal account. The contest is being sponsored by BlackStork.com.


You'll have a maximum of 5 entries possible by:


  • Blogging about the contest in your blog, just like what I wrote above. - 3 entries


  • Subscribing to their RSS Feed. There will be a "Secret Code Word" only visible to RSS subscribers. - 1 entry


  • If you don't have a blog, you can drop by the site and leave a comment. - 1 entry


    Check out the contest post for more details. The contest runs until October 15 so there is little time left!
