			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://bloggingfingers.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/task_manager.png" class="alignleft" alt="task_manager.png" />One month ago I launched the free <a href="http://bloggingfingers.com/e-book/download-the-blog-monetization-strategies-e-book-and-win-300/">Blog Monetization Strategies e-book</a> with a contest where 10 lucky people who helped promote the e-book would win the prize of a license key to using <a href="http://www.fruitfultime.com/fruitfultime_taskmanager.php">FruitFulTime Task Manager</a> for free.</p>
<p>The contest was a complete success and the e-book received more downloads than I could have possibly hoped for!  I received a lot of feedback about the e-book as well, most of which was very positive but there are a few improvements I plan on adding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>*Only a few days left to enter!  3 entries have been received, so the next 2 entrants are guaranteed $10 each!*</em></p>
<p>Blogging Fingers is offering a rare opportunity for you to get traffic and exposure by guest authoring on a blog with 230 RSS subscribers&#8230; with the added benefit that there is $100 up for grabs!  <strong>The first 5 entrants are guaranteed to win $10 each!</strong></p>
<p>The post that receives the most traffic wins!  You are free to drive traffic to it by any means necessary providing they are legal and do not falsely influence the visitor tracking.</p>
<p>To ensure you have as good a chance as possible the $100 will be broken down so that up to 5 bloggers can have a piece of the pie.</p>
<p>$50 - To the author of the post that receives the most traffic<br />
$10 - To the first entrant<br />
$10 - To the second entrant<br />
$10 - To the third entrant<br />
$10 - To the fourth entrant<br />
$10 - To the fifth entrant</p>
<p>The post must be at least 300 words long and may contain vidoes/pictures.  Use your common sense to make sure it fits the topic of this blog.  If in the unlikely even I decide your post is a piece of junk I have the right not to pay you.  <strong>If you get in quick you are guaranteed $10!</strong></p>
<p>Your payment will be made via PayPal and I will use Google Analytics to measure the traffic.  You may include a brief introduction that links back to your own blog.</p>
<p>The entrants will be judged and winners paid in 1 month from today (14th Feb).</p>
<p>All entries must be in by the end of January - the extra 14 days gives time for the later entries to have a chance to get traffic.</p>
<p>To enter simply <strong>email your post</strong> to mattjones(at)bloggingifngers(dot).com</p>
