Ok so what do you guys think. At 7:45 I posted the finalist for the free engagement contest I had on my blog. Since that time (2 hours and half ago) I have had 557 hits and counting to my blog and about 130 unique votes.
Just thought I'd share and give people ideas...
What I did was email everyone that I was having a contest and then gave them a week to email me back. I received very few # of entries, but when time came to voting, the brides have spread the news and the voting has gone crazy...
As I write the #'s go up.
I had 4236 on my blog when I posted the finalist and then now I have 4793.
I will let everyone know (if interested) what my results are as for inquiries and bookings from all this.
Just thought I'd share. If someone has had a similar result to another contest please share...
Also the poll is set up in a way you can't wipe your cookies and vote again and no one computer is allowed to vote on this poll more than once in 1 year. The voting ends next week.

My blog is: http://photosbymp.blogspot.com

That's super cool. I wish visitors to my site would go to my blog. I get a very low ratio of people going to my blog (I started it in Feb). Most visitors come from OSP lol

Hi Phil. Thanks for the post... I just try and keep my blog alive... basically I post something new very often, photo related stuff only. I also started doing contests and specials etc... When I do a contest or special pricing I email all the brides on my email database. (ANY ONE THAT HAS EVER INQUIRED)
I am just lucky that the brides went nuts posting on THEKNOT.com... I do not paid advertising so I depend on my knotties a lot and they have been very loyal.
Email me if you have specific questions or just need inspiring. Not that I'm an expert but I may be able to give you some ideas and you may have some for me .

NETWORKING... I LOVE IT!
