Another Blog Contest Begins… Join In

by Dr.Mani on November 3, 2007

I’m planning the next contest on this blog

The first contest I ran was fun.

No, it did not get 500 people participating. But then, if you’ve known me for a while, you’ll know I go for QUALITY, not sheer quantity.

And just about every ‘review’ people did of this blog was a piece of high quality writing – stuff I gladly link out to because it adds value to you if you choose to visit and read.

Here are some of the ‘winners’:

* Irene writes about stress on the Chair Massage Biz blog.

(Read “He Needed Me” – it’ll bring tears to your eyes… it did mine!) Also check out “In My Hands”

* Kang did a short blog post (he’s a fan, and his ‘review’ is glowing – thanks, Kang) about a few things here that caught his attention – it’s on his Kaizen blog.

* Manoj picked my thoughts about online socializing tools to focus in his review at his Money Making Basics blog. Yes, friendships do come first!

* Walter Gavurnik wrote about the work I do with children born with congenital heart defects. Not surprising – he’s one of my strong supporters, and has made generous donations to the CHD foundation. See his post at the ‘Marketology’ blog

Hope you enjoy these blogs – and you can still participate in the first contest, check out this post for more details.

Now, about today’s contest.

It’s more like a ‘guessing game’ – or a test of predictive reasoning – however you choose to view it.

I crafted 4 different versions of a promotional email and sent it out to a different section of my list each.

Which one will get the highest response rates (measured as readers clicking on the link to visit the website)?

= = =

Email #1:

SUBJECT: The BEST $10 You’ll Ever Spend!

I think you’ll agree after taking a look.

Email #2:

SUBJECT: Have I priced this too LOW?

I’m wondering if the low price is making
people wonder if it has any value at all!

Hmm… maybe I’ll hike it to $47 or more
(after all, it’s worth that much – at least)

Email #3:

SUBJECT: If you’re a beginner, then…

If you’re a beginner, I can’t imagine ANY
reason you should wait to grab this

All success

Email #4:

SUBJECT: If it’s FREE, then why…

If it’s free, then why should you buy it?

Because there’s an awesome bonus you cannot
buy ANYWHERE – that’s a part of the content
package!

Which one do YOU think will work best?

Just post your answer as a COMMENT here – along with a link to your website/blog or an email address, so I’ll know how to contact you if you win.

What’s the prize?

Hmm… Let me see. How about if I gave the first 10 winners (who picked the best email) free access to this new content resource itself? Learn more about the prize at “Dr.Mani’s ONLINE BUSINESS BASICS Guide”

Dr. Mani,

My vote would go for ‘The Best $10 you’ll ever spend’ email. My rationale for this being that you lay out a specific price outright.

I think the ‘If its FREE’ would lead too many people expecting it to be free, and then I don’t think they would end up buying it. Just my guess though.

Looking forward to see the actual results.
