Blogging Makes Me Happy Contest!!
April 10th, 2008 by Tony
In the last 2 days I have read 2 articles by MAJOR news outlets where the overall theme is that blogging and in particular paid blogging can be harmful to your health and mental well being.
To say the least I found this disturbing. I’m not going to to link to the one I saw today - I don’t want them to gain more readers of this garbage.
Instead I want to get a little positive energy swirling around and announce a new contest for members of our Payu2blog Network.
Announcing :
Blogging Makes Me Happy Contest! from Payu2blog
I will be posting the details in the system later today.
Here is the High Level
- You will not be paid for entering-
- only the TOP 5 Chosen will win…
- each of the Winners will recieve $500.00 each.
- $500 seems like a nice enough number for this……
- The winners will be voted on by random people on the street(we are going to ask people in to view the entries) and everyone in our office.
- Everyone Will not win.. so please if you don’t win stay postive and wait til we have another contest of this type… I think for sure more are going to happen this year.

April 10th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Woot. I’m all aboard for this one!
April 10th, 2008 at 4:18 pm

Can’t wait for the contest.

Can’t wait for more info!
April 11th, 2008 at 2:44 am
This is good news. I can’t wait for the final launching,:)
April 11th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Sounds like fun!
April 11th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Neat contest. My husband even thought of a video idea!
April 11th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Glad to see you all are diving in to this… we need a little positive energy out there. Too much of and about blogging lately has been negative. Let’s change up the tide a bit.
Have some fun with it and maybe win some money!
April 12th, 2008 at 9:31 am
ohhh yeah! this is sounds fun…are you guys ready? hehehe!
April 13th, 2008 at 9:25 am
You’re right about needing some positive energy. Several of the communities/groups of bloggers I read have been going through some difficult times re: jobs, deaths of pets, deaths of family members…
Time to remind us all why we kept with blogging for more than a month after the “new” wore off.
April 13th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
I can’t join because I don’t have a webcam. I want the smiley tho
April 13th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
remember you don’t need a web cam… most digital cams will let you do movies.. also many people use still photos to make “movie files” u can use windows movie maker which is free to add music etc… its not as hard as some think
April 15th, 2008 at 9:42 am
wow this is great! count my blog in!
thank you 
April 15th, 2008 at 10:06 am
I can already feel the love. Why do media outlets bash on bloggers? Maybe because we are new source of news and info and this does not settle well with the old school journalist. Let the games begin!!
April 15th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Bloggers are their competitors in this writing industry. Well let’s shoot something to show that bloggers are united and happy!!
Time to test my new digicam.
April 15th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
I would love to participate! How do you sign up??
April 20th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
I’m pretty excited about this one. I wanna join!
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:22 am
Hi! Any update on this contest? How do we sign up? and when it will it start or did it start already?
May 13th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I’m new to PayU2Blog but this contest sure sounds exciting!
May 28th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
That’s an interesting concept that being payed to blog is detrimental to health. I don’t believe it is and I say to each their own and let people chose for themselves. Cool contest too, can’t wait to see how that turns out!
June 2nd, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Can’t wait for this contest to start.
June 4th, 2008 at 1:31 am
Ya I read a few negative articles about this subject as well and frankly I cant see what the big deal is about getting paid to blog. Its not like were selling out.. Getting paid to blog is sort of like having a job OFFLINE that you really love and getting paid for it. You dont see anyone saying negative stuff about that, now do you?
$500 sounds awesome. I want in! I could def use this money hehe.
June 16th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Even though I’m new to PayU2Blog (so happy I finally got accepted!) I’m really looking forward to entering this contest. I’m quite content blogging for money as it goes with the rest of my lifestyle rather well.
July 12th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I love this idea!! I love blogging for PayU2Blog.
September 10th, 2008 at 2:25 am
wow! wish i could join.
September 10th, 2008 at 2:31 am
wish i could join the contest too
September 24th, 2008 at 9:47 am
The post was April 10…is this still ongoing?
October 7th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Has the contest ended? I’ve got the smiley face on my site, plan on keeping it there cause it’s cute, but thought I’d check and see if the contest was an ongoing one.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Awesome Awesome Awesome!!
October 16th, 2008 at 12:01 pm

Interesting. Is this still going on? I don’t see a deadline. I love blogging anyway but man could I use some extra cash in these lean times!
December 3rd, 2008 at 12:55 pm
