This is a guest post by Riyanne @ Blogging From Scratch
When you create a blog, you surely desire for it to succeed. You may want it to succeed financially, convey a message to as many people as possible or whatever your hopes may be.
If you are blogging for quite some time now and have no audience at all, then something must be awfully wrong. You got the right material, invested on a personalized design, bought banner advertisements and you even have a mascot. And yet, your blog is dead or the statistics does not meet your expectations. Your efforts are not good enough.
What if I could tell you on how to spice things up? To liven up your blog through contests! I was joining blog contests before even having my own blog. I even won my blog’s hosting and domain name from one of the contests that I joined. In those times, I observed that when there’s an ongoing contest, people starts noticing and patronizing the blog. People are suddenly buzzing about those blog. They increase their feed subscriptions, newsletter, free reviews and many more endless opportunities.
Having a blog contest is one way of promoting your blog. You can boost your traffic, increase RSS subscribers and more. Yeah, blog contests are cool but don’t just jump into organizing one. Be smart!
They can be quite expensive especially when you are sponsoring by yourself and there’s a contest in your blog every month! Because no matter how big your prizes are, it might suck.
