Car Sponsorship Review Update

posted on: September 26th, 2007

Free Car

A free car giveaway will be made possible by the 500 sponsors.  The car sponsorships are limited to only 500 bloggers/companies and I’m pushing to sell all of them this year.  The $100 sponsorship spot will pay for publicity and here is the breakdown:

[1] two 200 word min reviews
[2] your domain name on two Scion tC’s
[3] permanent link of Blogging the Movie.com/Car
[4] be part of the 1st FREE car giveaway in blogging history
[5] publicity from the media hype that the movie will generate

The reviews will start October 1st.
For complete details check out the
Car page.

Thank you for being patient.  I wanted to make sure that the sponsors get the maximum exposure and October will have a dramatic increase in traffic as the Marketing Campaign will be released.  The order of the reviews will go in the sequence of the purchase order.  Once the 1st set of reviews have been completed I will loop back and start over and start the 2nd set.  It’s a great investment for $100.

FAQ on the Car Contest

posted on: September 4th, 2007

With any ad campaign you will receive lot of questions that will need to be ANSWERED pronto. So this is my little FAQ on the CAR CONTEST. Here are answers to some questions from Derek and Jay.

  • What if you don’t sell all your ads?
    • Full refund on 09/01/2008. However you will still get your permanent link and 2 free reviews. I pride myself on customer satisfaction.
  • Do I have to buy a sponsored ad to be eligible for the free car?
    • No, you do not have to buy a sponsored ad for the free car. It’s free. Free to all bloggers. Haha. Sponsors get publicity for sponsoring the car.
  • How will the winner of the car be selected?
    • The winner will be a random draw. Considering the magnitude of the size of this prize. I’m currently considering a 3rd party, maybe a small accounting firm in Orange County to select the winner. This would erase all doubt of being a setup prize where it will be given away to a fake account or friend.
  • When will the winner be selected?
    • The winner will be selected after the contest is held. The contest will be held once the car is bought. The car will be bought once all the sponsorships have been bought.
  • How long will the domain ads be displayed on the cars?
    • They winner will be contracted to have the ad on the car for 4 years.
  • If you only get enough money to buy one car, will you buy the car for your sister first?
    • Both cars will be bought at the same time. Both will be videotaped, if dealer permits. It will be part of the movie.
  • Is this a scam like Ashwin Khanna’s contest for $2500? After all, Prija is the sneaky bastard.
    • This is true. Prija is a sneaky bastard, however he is an honest sneaky bastard. I always reveal my secrets. The publicity from giving away the car will generate media hype than the 50k. I plan to market out to newspapers, media and and big things. I’m thinking dateline, NBC, Oprah; you know the works. I have one life. This is my shot. Haha. BTW you’ll be receiving a permanent link and 2 reviews. The only thing people have to worry about is waiting until all 500 bloggers buys a spot before the car contest can take off. But it’s all about being patient. That’s why if the car is not bought within a YEAR - 09/01/08. I will give everyone a full refund and everyone will still get there permanent link and reviews. How’s that for customer satisfaction. Being sneaky is not lying or being a scam. Sneaky means to reveals one secret and still have the ability to move the masses.

Any other questions?? I can answer them here. Or you can check the Car page for the most updated rules.
