WHAT IS SPRINGING UP IN YOUR AREA? A NEW AR CONTEST!

Red Flower

Spring is in the air and it seems like a dandy(lion) time to introduce another Active Rain Contest!  Who doesn't love a contest that helps our businesses take root, grow and bloom into a garden of success?  Oh stop it you say with all of the puns - sorry but I am having too much fun with this!

Alright so here's the dirt: (the contest basics) - easy, peasy:

  • Write at least TWO blog posts each week during the month of March for a grand total of 8 blog posts.
  • The focus of these posts is to be on activities, businesses and events in your local area.  Basically great Localism posts full of great information about Spring events in your area.
  • Each post must contain at least ONE link to the event or business.
  • You do not need to title the post any certain way. 
  •  Just make sure however, that you DO JOIN and POST it into the new AR GROUP What Is Springing Up CONTEST.
  • LINK all 8 posts in ONE comment on this post!

That's it!  Easy breezy right?  So get those posts going and promote those events and businesses in your area!  You will reap the rewards with the AR points as well as lots of Google Juice too!

There will be 1500 points awarded to each person who successfully posts their 8 blogs with the above criteria.  Now that's something to get you going!

Helping your business SPRING into the season!
