Clue #4 – Stay up to date with an RSS Subscription by Email
If you’ve noticed, the contest has gained huge traction and exposure all around the net. You definitely want to stay up to date on the latest happenings here on Winning the Web. New prizes are being added all the time and all of these great contest clues will allow you to earn more entries for the March 31 draw.
The action is this:
In addition to your feed readers and web browsers, subscribe to the Winning the Web RSS feed through email.
This will deliver the latest posts to your inbox the day they are published on the site. This is NOT the same as the mailing list you signed up for to enter the contest. Use the same email as you did for the mailing list so I can credit you with 5 extra entries. Cheers!
If you like this post, subscribe to the RSS feed. Get the latest updates FREE.














Done.
I, too , have subscribed by email, but I am a bit confused about how many entries do we get if we do this “action: first time, in the third paragraph, you say we get 5 credits, then in the end of the post, you mention only 3
. Make up your mind and correct the typo or whatever error might that be. Cheers
Thanks for the heads up hts. It was a typo – and it should be 5 extra entries.
Done. This is a awesome contest. It is like watching the PowerBall amount go up every time there is no winner. You will be over $10,000 in no time. Would be nice to see an H2 on that list. lol
Best of success with your blog.
Michael
lol, great analogy. That H2 hummer sure does seem to be popular… Now off to look for one.
Sad thing is gas for an H2 would cost more then my current car payment.
Have a great weekend.
Michael
That H2 will probably be added by next week, right?
Subscribed. I Was really hoping for one of Shoemoney’s macbook airs, but even without it this contest is incredible!
Even then, an Ipod Touch is pretty cool. My friend has one, and I was all about it.
Yup, and you can go drop Entrecards in your toilet and bring some ’shitty’ traffic to someone’s blog. (that was supposed to be funny… get it?)

Is the increased number of votes for this action a reflection of some calculation that e-mail subscribers are better than feed subscribers?
I think any additional ways you can reach your audience, the better – especially since people are more prone to check their emails than their feed readers.
As for the number of entries, it’s not feasible to accurately determine who has and has not subscribed to the feed. But with email subscriptions, I can keep a tally and give entries accordingly.
You’ve hit a goldmine with this one Bro!
Where is the updated list of prizes?
Forgive me for being a dumbass…I found the list. Off to get some coffee now. Have a great day readers!
OK, done this too.
Loving your viral marketing tactics
Great tactics! I hope you can keep some of this traffic when the contest is over!
