What I Learned From My Sponsored Contests

Blog about your Blog has gotten quite a few great sponsors for contests. Bidvertiser gave us 300$ in cash to give away. NeverblueAds also gave us 300$ for a contest. The difference? I received the Bidvertiser cash up front.

Why It Matters

Bidvertiser sent me the money when we agreed on the contest terms. I had to cover just a little of the paypal costs. With NeverblueAds I preferred to cut myself out so those paypal fees weren’t there. The problem with that is then I have to rely on someone else paying our contest winners.

I have been known to take a while to pick the winners, so this time I tried to do it a little faster, however it didn’t matter. When I sent NeverblueAds my winners, the email was lost in the mail and weren’t paid right away.

After getting back into contact with NeverblueAds again they swiftly made payment to the contest winners.

It wasn’t anyones fault.

Unforeseen things like this can happen, it was my responsibility to get the prizes out, especially for Christmas.

With any contest…

There is that problem of the prize not being sent. I have won several things online that I never received and so have many others.

This is definitely not going to prevent us from doing future contests, our contest layouts may be a little different however.

Blogaboutyourblog.com just turned a year old and we would love to do another big contest with sponsors and big cash. If you are interested let us know.
