ProBlogger Birthday Bash »
Darren at ProBlogger has rounded up at least $54,000 worth of prizes - and perhaps as much as $60,000 - and is planning on handing them out to celebrate the week.
All you have to do win is keep an eye on what's happening, and perhaps do a little commenting either on his site or your own (or perhaps both) to let him know that you are watching. Most of the prize giveaways are set up so that if you win one, you can't win another - but there are a few that you can win regardless of what else you've won. In other words, choose your battles wisely - but regardless, you may want to check it out to see what is there!
Tough this week is posting about the birthday event, and content is thus geared towards the giveaways, Darren typically posts on items that you can use to bulk up your blog - thus the name ProBlogger.
Whether you are actually a "pro" blogger or not, you'll find some interesting content there - he talks about how he makes money on his blogs through various avenues, often introducing new programs, explaining why he uses (or doesn't use) some options, alternate methods for enhancing the revenue of existing products or even explaining oft-overlooked tax deductions (keep in mind that Darren is in Australia, so you may want to consult a tax professional).
But like most people, Darren isn't limited to just one topic, and you can even take a tour of his headquarters (though this relates to getting work done, so it all falls into place) and see the house that blogging bought him (again, related, but not the same old, same old).
In short, it's generally a good read. And you can get free stuff. Take a look.
