Contests are nothing new in the online world. Many people have been using contests to get free web traffic for years. However, there is a slightly new twist since the blog revolution that has made running a contest much more effective and fun.
The concept is the same. You come up with a prize (or many prizes) that would be appealing to your blog readers. Of course, offering your own product as the prize would be preferable since you can mention it on your blog (so everyone who sees your contest will also see your product link). But, if you don’t have your own product, you can easily ask around and find people who will donate.
Once you have your prizes, the fun starts. You have several options for your contest:
- If your goal is to get people to interact, ask your readers to post a comment to win.
- If your goal is to get incoming links to your blog, and, if your readers are bloggers themselves, ask your readers to blog about your contest (on their blogs) and then comment to let you know they did it.
- If your goal is to get to know your readers, ask them to complete a survey to win.
- Or a combination of the items above.
Immediately after you post your contest, send a mailing to each of your ezine lists, letting them know about the contest. You’ll want your loyal readers to have the opportunity to win.

This blog has been online for over a year but I have not received enough number of feed subscribers to boast. I only got around 10 subscribers. Recently though, I saw how my feed subscriber count went as high as 51 (as of this moment). This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of articles I read from other bloggers.
When it comes to increasing your feed subscribers, I found these great tips helpful:
1. Always provide good and helpful content. This has been overly emphasized in every blogging tips about increasing feed count. Of course, this is vital in attracting visitors, and potential subscribers as well. This has two benefits: getting new subscriptions and preventing unsubcriptions.
2. Adhering to frequent posting or not? There has been a debate going on in the blogosphere regarding the recommended posting frequency. Some bloggers would recommend that posting more frequently can bring much traffic. I used to highly recommend it because it’s one way of showing your site’s activity. Previously, I could post at least 2 articles a day. However, this did not bring any increase in the number of subscribers. Something must be wrong.
A post by Karlo of PinoyBlogero made me realize that I may be choking my readers and spamming their inbox prompting them to unsubscribe from my feeds.
