How to fail in competition: Tips for organizers

As you already know, I recently had my next contest is not very successful. The phrase "not a very successful" can be replaced by the ill-fated. After reviewing all its errors, miscalculations and shortcomings, I figured out how you can ispoganit? even the most interesting idea.


Easily announce a contest, its easier and easier to fail with the knack and the bailiff. The first step is to reiterate that we, bloggers, gives an own contests and promotions:

1. Increasing reference mass -many references and talk about exciting contests and promotions, especially if you take part in them.
2. increasing the number of subscribers – the more interesting event you spend, the more people will be yours to keep.
Apples 3. – I love fruit, and because they continually eat. As you can imagine, competitions were not templated, but because of you get what you like, for example, apples))).
Popularity 4. – eventually all of the above will result in promoting your blog.

All-caps istini, already seen as God's day.


If everything is so simple and clear, why my contest ends in failure? I asked this question many months, until the failed regular competition. At that moment he failed from the start until the finish.


So how did I manage to spoil their masterful, shall not be afraid of such words as good ideas?

1. Low PR – in addition to post on my blog and the blog post a few of my good friends nowhere contest announced (well other than Twitter itself). Should buy a pair of reviews and links to write on forums and proanonsirovat? everywhere.
2. Not attracting big-name contestants – should draw a couple of famous persons of the blogosphere to participate, because every Newbie wants to bypass the leader. It would be more participants.
3. delay in results – still the results should be made public in a timely manner.
Jury 4. – should recruit a group of competent persons to determine the winner.

That's not much need to (not) to fail to do that. Do you have a personal history of failures?
