Comment Your Way To An Easy $7

Posted on Nov 24, 2007 

Filed Under: Make Money Online, News

After transitioning into WordPress in the past few days, I felt that there was one very important thing missing: comments. I had to sacrifice all my old comments to move to this new blog platform (but it was surely worth it), which will mean that I would need to get new comments in as many of my posts as possible. What a better way to do that than to have another contest! The prize for the first Slyvisions contest was a free blogroll text link, a blog review, and a 125×125 button on the sidebar. This time, the prize is money! $7 to be exact.

So what exactly do you have to do? Easy. Comment, comment, comment. Whoever is the #1 Top Commentator according what it says on the sidebar by the end of the month, November 30, 11:59 PM Eastern Time, will earn themselves an easy $7.

Before you get started, here are some rules:

  • No Spam! Any kind of spam will be deleted.
  • Make sure you actually read the post you comment on. If I see that your comment has nothing to do with the post, then it will not count and will result in a deleted comment.
  • You must have a PayPal account since that’s the only way I can send the money.

That’s it! Get started before November ends! Here’s a simple tip to help you win: there are over 200 posts in this blog so far. That’s over 200 comments you can make (if you decide to) that will easily earn you the contest prize.

  5. bluefrogx Says:

    $7 doesn’t buy you ever much nowadays, not even enough for a domain :(

  6. Sly Says:

    @ KingDamion - You can find all sorts of tips here on this blog. Go ahead and check out the categories if you need more.

    @ Bluefrogx - Actually, if you use it the right way, you can turn that $7 into hundreds in just a few days. If you’re not happy with the $7, then just don’t try to win. :P

  7. Blackysky Says:

    you didn’t import your comment in the process … so only wordpress have this wonderful tool or what ahahahha

    $7 for a comment not bad .. I could buy a movie ticket :)
    so how do you feel with wordpress :) don’t you feel that you should have it since day 1 :)

  8. RennyBA Says:

    Welcome over to WP - your new blog are great and I like your new template - good luck in blogsphere with your new home.

    Btw: Your welcome over to mine if you like to know anything about Norway - and to comment there too :-)

  9. MyBlogContest Says:

    Don’t forget to post your blog contest information at MyBlogContest.com let more people know it.

  10. Sly Says:

    @ Blacksky- I couldn’t export my comments from Haloscan (the commenting system for my old blog platform) unless I paid $12, but I didn’t want to waste my money just for that.

    @ RennyBA- Thanks!

    @ MyBlogContest - Done. Thanks for letting me know.

  11. Allyn Paul Says:

    Sly– new layout is crisp and clean. Great job, and I think $7 is better than $6. We’ll see if I can win.
    AL

  12. lady Says:

    $7 is pretty low sly but i will comment if i have something to say..

  13. Wayne Liew Says:

    I won’t comment for the sake of money. I will be looking for contents that I have a say on before I comment. It is jut not my way.

    Anyway, I will stay put and see what will the results be. ;-)

  14. Sly Says:

    @ Lady- I made it only $7 because (1) there are only like 5 days left for this conterst and (2) everyone is already a winner by giving themselves free links for every comment.

    @ Wayne Liew - That’s what I like to hear from my readers!

  15. PastExpiry Says:

    Very nice and clean template. Is there a similar one for new blogger, or did you make this from scratch?

    Regards from Canada.

  16. Sly Says:

    @ PastExpiry - This is a WordPress template I found and tweaked around. I don’t think they have it for Blogger.

  17. dew Says:

    [Edited by admin] Always good to be able to move over to WordPress!

    I won’t be trying for the contest, but I do like your design!

  18. Sue Says:

    Wow! Great idea! Was it difficult to make the transition to WordPress? I plan on starting my own blog but then I want to eventually switch over the 2 I have now.

  19. Sly Says:

    Thanks for all the comments so far everyone. But I would just like to say that I would appreciate it if you can comment DEEP into the blog on other posts that don’t have comments. The more comments on other posts, the better!

  20. MDSanta Says:

    so these $7 are they tax deductible?

  21. blackysky Says:

    I think $7 is good it is better than 0 :) I’m sure I can turn a $7 to $70 with ppc anyway I think it is a great idea

    sly: I check your halosan …I just don’t get the service ?! it is a blog platform like blogger or wordpress.com or they just give you a commenting and tracback plugin for your blog .. the service looks odd .. never heard about this website before

  22. Sly Says:

    @ Blacksky- Haloscan is just the commenting system. The blog platform I used before is called RapidWeaver.

  23. valmg Says:

    The new theme looks great!

  24. Contest Beat Says:

    Hi there

    I blogged about your contest here - http://www.contestbeat.com/make-the-most-comments-for-7/

    All we do is write about contests in the blogosphere so hopefully we can send you a few more entries too!

    Regards, Matt.

  25. James - DigitalKeyToInfo Says:

    I am not going to join the contest, just want to congratulate you on your switch to WordPress and wish you luck on your blog.

  26. Michael Says:

    It is sad how you have to start from 0 comments just because you switched to another platform. But I think you will get there. I have to say that your have a very good design.

  27. Neena (NeenMachine) Says:

    I have to hand it to you - this is a creative idea.

  28. Lisa Says:

    This is a great idea for a contest. I will try and participate as much as I can. :)

  29. Sly Says:

    Remember everyone, even if you don’t win the contest, you always win everytime you comment since you’re giving yourself easy links back to your own blog!

  30. webduck Says:

    Welcome to the world of WordPress! Congrats on the new blog, and even though I am late to the dance, I am leaving a comment too. :)

  31. Tim E. Says:

    Great contest. I don’t have time to participate myself, so good luck all you commentors!

  32. Grace Says:

    I love the new design. So neat. I am off to see your other posts and leave comments as I go! :-)

  33. seo blog Says:

    The new theme is great dude. I Like it!

  35. Laura @ Laura Williams' Musingsq Says:

    Fun contest! I just don’t have a lot of time to leave a ton of comments.

    But I did want you to know that I blogged.

  36. Sly Says:

    @ MrPrizes and Laura - Thanks!

  37. mann3r Says:

    You are already gaining visitors to your blog great way of enhancing users or visitors interaction.

  38. Michael Says:

    Will that count as a entry?

  39. Poker Bot Tutorials Says:

    Cool contest. I know I won’t be in the running to win, but thought I’d toss you a little support!

  40. Critical Critic Says:

    Curious why you couldn’t save your comments from the other platform. With a bit of elbow grease, I’m sure you could have saved the majority of them …

  41. soul_krasty Says:

    wow…$7 dollars?thats a very much..

  42. Andy Says:

    Good grief. Grace is already at 55. She must really want that $7. I don’t think that I am going to write 54 more comments and try to top that. Why the arbitrary number of 7?

  43. Sly Says:

    @ Andy - I don’t know. Just a lucky number :) . $5 was, I guess, too low. $10 was too high (for this type of contest at this time) so I went with $7.

  44. soul_krasty Says:

    owh man..grace win…how did she manage to post many comment?huhu…grace is commentoligans=p

  45. Michael Says:

    And I am at over 100 comments, if I have time, I will try to get it to 150 comments. Why, am I trying to win this $7. This is because I have never won something, and I want to break that

  46. Michael Says:

    I am over 150 comments and trying to get 200 comments. I am crazy!

  47. Michael Says:

    I am close to commenting on all of your posts

  48. soul_krasty Says:

    you are such a commentooligan micheal=p
