real blogging tips

I am excited to announce that MooneyQuest.com is hosting its first contest for its readers. Now just in case your not familiar with who MooneyQuest is I will fill you in on the details here as its only fair before you leave you know a little something about him. MooneyQuest is an aspiring entrepreneur. His ultimate goal is to make enough money to buy a mooney aircraft. For those of you not very familiar with private level aviation this is usually a four seater fixed or retractable gear aircraft. He needs roughly $600k to seal the deal. I would say he has his work cut out for him but that is the spice of life folks. His blog marks his journey along a path to a very shiny and very new beautiful aircraft.

Let’s take a look at the prizes he has to offer for his contest:

As for the how to’s and where I will repost them here as well for the readers:

A few quick words about the prizes. First of all, everyone will recieve a prize for entering the contest. Jason has kindly given me enough copies of Dollar Million to give out to everyone who enters this contest. Hostgator has been very generous to give such a large prize. With Hostgator being one of the largest and in my opinion, best hosting companies around, it is very nice to see them recognize this blog and sponsor the contest. I have moved many customers to Hostgator and have found their server speeds to be very high and their customer support to be great.

Just a quick word about the consultation prizes. These one hour consulation sessions mean you can basically ask us any questions you want. If you need advice in writing eBooks, starting or marketing websites, or any other questions about blogging, we’re all yours for an hour.
