2008: New Look, New Prize (Free Ad for 3 Months!)

Posted by: Singapore Entrepreneur In: Challenges / Awards

old
UPDATE: LAST 3 DAYS!

It’s a brand new look for us with lots of new plans underway. First off, we will be conducting a lot more interviews of start-ups (less than 3 years in biz) for 2008. We will be looking at Singaporean start-ups in particular, no matter where you are based in the world. At the same time, if you are a foreign entrepreneur in Singapore, we will definitely want to interview you too. So drop us a line if you’re interested in being featured.

Secondly, our new look gives advertisers a much better chance to get noticed by readers. We are offering the top sidebars for a measly US$5 for 30 days to kick off the new year (Stats). But it gets better! You can get the ad for FREE, for THREE MONTHS! The catch? We want more people to subscribe to our feed via email. (1 entry) And to mark us as their favorite on technorati. (1 entry) That’s all you have to do. We will then get all entries (subscribed in January) and select one in a random draw to be made on 1 Feb 2008 (12 noon Singapore time!).

Lastly, we got rid of our scratchback tip jar because we only made a total of US$2.39 (after Paypal and Scratchback’s cut). We can’t get that money since we have to wait for a US$25 threshold but at the rate we’re going I don’t think we’ll see that until the next new year! We’ve also noticed that most people’s tip jars are quite empty and the widget does slow things down and takes up a lot of space so that it’s really not worth putting up anymore. Thank you to those who did tip us! We actually wanted to put your URL’s and link back through this post but when we checked Scratchback, we found out that it doesn’t keep a history of your advertisers!
So if you’re still lurking around, let us know and we’ll give you the link for giving us a chance.

Here’s to a wonderful 2008 for all of us!

Wow I must say I am very impressed with your use of the bliss theme. I think you will definitely get a higher CTR with the ad placements. Looking forward to reading more quality articles.

Thanks Mark! The Bliss Theme is great. (I believe Bhavesh from WP Remix is the genius behind it.) It took us less than a day to work through the code for the ad placements. We are crossing our fingers that we’ll get higher CTR :D

Cheers!
