Blog/Article Writing Contests

Postby Paula22466 » Wed Feb 13, 2013 1:27 pm

I've noticed the article writing contests have had very few entries, especially the last one with only around 18. These contests are wonderful ways for writers to get exposure and get paid writing assignments. Not to mention, we never know with a paid writing assignment, if the ministry would eventually ask more from us, one open door can lead to more open doors. So, I'm just trying to get some feedback from anyone who might be able to offer some insights as to why such a low number of entries? Thanks!
p.s. I am posting this in the water cooler too because I want as many as possible to see it

Hey Paula, I just did a test blog and wrote an article in under an hour. The 500 words on this weeks contest is a bit too short actually. I encourage people to listen to Paula. This is a great opportunity to get a paid writing assignment or a nice cash prize. If you get a wriing assignment and do a great job you could get more. Plus the winner is posted on 100 Christian blogs and that is a lot of exposure. God Bless, Mike

Hi, I am all new to this blog contest. I have finished my article for equipping our kids, but overwhelmed by all the 'know how' to get it posted. Nothing wrong with the information, it's just hard for me to absorb it all, makes my head swim. I don't want to miss getting it in. I work and don't have a lot of time to go over it so I'm taking it off one bite at a time.

When I looked at setting up Google Blog, I got lost in all that, deciding whether to use my real or different name? So I wondered which was best? :?

My pasting option is not working on our computer either so I'm frustrated about that too. :x

The only reason you may not be getting a lot of entries is there is a lot to take in at the websites and getting a feel for them, atleast it was for me. I did enjoy searching and listening but it took a awhile to absorb and get a feeling of how the Lord wanted me to write it. I am glad that we were given a month to do this because it does take me awhile to get all my notes. I didn't get started until three weeks ago, not sure that I had what it took to win. :wink:

Thank you for your forum. I needed somewhere to have coffee and vent. :D

Mary
