		<description>Khalid an Matthew,
good point here.
I like you post, but it&#039;s touches just the end of the process that is tell the world about the contest.
For me the most important about your contest is planning:

- What do I want to achieve
- Budget
- ROI
- ROA
- Who&#039;ll be targeted
- How long
- How I&#039;ll handle the entrances
- How do I turn it clean and transparency rules
- How do I measure?
- are the rewards valuable for my target or just valuable on my eyes?
- etc., etc
Cheers

		<description>Online marketing can definitely be very effective, but it is very time consuming. Honestly, if you&#039;re serious about building your website up to the potential to be long-lasting as well as popular, you really do have to make it at least your part time job, if not full-time. This is definitely an informative post.</description>

		<description>I think a lot of people are anticipating the results of the content khalid! Matthew raises some interesting points though. Marketing online is timeconsuming and quite challenging. And it mostly consists of social networking and establishing strong connections online and offline.</description>

		<description>Good points. I haven&#039;t run a contest myself, but I&#039;ve been mulling over the idea lately as a way to boost subscribers.

Khalid have you done a post sharing your experience with your contest? What you did? What were your goals? How well did the results meet with expectations?

My apologies if such a post exists and I missed it. If that post hasn&#039;t been written I think it would make an interesting read.</description>
