Welcome to the quarterly VAF Blog Challenge Contest thread for 2011!
For those who are not familiar with VAF’s Blog Challenge Contest we have been posting a blog challenge for VAF members on a quarterly basis.
Members post their responses to the
blog area where fellow members read and comment. At the end of the month, a winner is selected.
The
blogging champ will receive one of two
GREAT prizes:
A copy of
Become a Virtual Assistant e-book along with all bonus materials - a $29 value
or,
A six-month featured link in VAF's popular
directory - a $30 value
The pot luck challenge topic has been the most popular. Members can blog about any topic at all.
As moderator of this blog challenge contest, I would personally like to offer a prize from my coffers to encourage my foodie VA colleagues to enter. The winner will also receive a $25.00 gift certificate from
www.Restaurant.com (available to US residents only).

Plus, the winner gets Major Bragging Rights here on VAF!!!
This is fantastic way to promote your business on one of the best
SEO’d virtual assistant sites on the web.
===>>> Important Reminders <<<====
Please be sure to review the contest guidelines, available at the
Blogging Challenge Group page before you post!
Please review every guideline as blog posts are judged with this criteria:
- Following instructions
- Clarity
- Grammar and Punctuation
- Creativity
- Originality
<<==Important==>>Be sure to join the blog challenge group if you have not already. (This is a requirement.) You will need to post back on the group page with our post information (see #4 in the participation guidelines).
Remember that your blog posts at VAF are indexed in the search engines just like your forum posts, so use that to your advantage. Always check your posts for quality content, good grammar and punctuation. Often times judging between two or more close-winning posts hinges upon whether the author checks for grammar and punctuation.
Blog posts are an extension of you and your business. Your ideal potential clients just might read [and love!] your blog posts.
Entries are due by midnight EST October 1st, 2011 and will be announced on or before October 8th, 2011.
If you haven't used the member blogs feature
here at VAF yet, you'll find quick and easy how-to instructions on the
Blogging Challenge Group page. Remember, your posts must appear on the
VAF blogging page and then referenced on the
Blog Challenge Group page.
==>Please read the rules AND please post the title and the link properly <==
Good Luck!
You may PM me at anytime with questions or you may post your questions and comments here.
