So what do you have to do? Its VERY SIMPLE:
1) Make sure you are a email subscriber and your account is active (you have confirmed). THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
2) Sign up and add shoemoney.com rss feed to the following services: (you can get up to 1 entry per service per day).
3) Every day for the next 14 days there will be a “Click Here To Enter Todays Contest!” Link within the RSS Feed. You simply click on that link From your rss feed reader service and then enter your name and your email you subscribed to in feedburner.
This is what the actual link will look like in your feed reader(s)
Thats right! We will have 1 drawing per Google Reader Subscriber, News Gator Subscriber, Bloglines , and Other (all other readers combined). Being currently there is only about 300 active email subscribers your chances to win are very good 
So There will be 4 drawings everyday and then a GRAND PRIZE drawing on November 1st (for all who have entered the whole month).
So you will want to make sure you get your 4 entries in every day to have the most chances to win the grand prize!

December 10, 2007 at 6:55 am
Nice contest.Cool prizes.
December 1, 2007 at 9:21 pm
Its funny, you had more than 20k subscribers last month. Today the Feedburner chicklet shows 13,402. Where have those 7-8k subscribers gone?
November 7, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Its actually PR4. And I have given the price as stated from reviewme.
There are other factors that come into consideration.
October 31, 2007 at 6:34 pm
Ok, I just added your RSS to my Google Reader. Hoping to win me and my family some Shoemoney swag….lol
October 31, 2007 at 11:58 am

October 23, 2007 at 8:53 am
I signed up for the emails and I’ll add you to my google reader when I figure out how to do it, lol.
October 23, 2007 at 8:36 am
massive number you have there!
October 19, 2007 at 6:14 pm
And you also just broke the 13,000 subscriber count, congrats!
October 19, 2007 at 9:58 am
I’m having the same problem, with email, google reader and bloglines
October 19, 2007 at 9:10 am
Both email and Google reader give me, “Sorry, this contest is for subscribers only.”
October 19, 2007 at 12:38 am
The ticker just updated and guess who’s in the lead.
If you like, you can put up my link now.
October 18, 2007 at 10:07 pm
Oh what a contest, this is very excitig
October 18, 2007 at 8:07 pm
I got my 4 entries for today…hope win something…any pubcon pass?
October 18, 2007 at 7:45 pm
I just saw John Chow’s post and came over to subscribe to your feed via RSS and email….great contest!
October 18, 2007 at 7:04 pm
Good luck for everyone!
October 18, 2007 at 6:09 pm
is this the same content to the pubcon passes and hang out with shoe contest in vegas?
October 18, 2007 at 11:01 am
Why don’t you FOAD?
October 18, 2007 at 9:53 am
When I try and subscribe again through boglines it says I am already subscribed. What am I doing wrong?
October 18, 2007 at 9:26 am
I hope I win the Spiderman Statue! haha
October 18, 2007 at 8:59 am
That is an awesome way to boost your stats and stickiness, I usually just type in shoemoney.com every day but now it is worth it to actually open up my bloglines account.
October 18, 2007 at 8:54 am
This reminds me of those contest we had in elem school where we bought paper rings to see which class could make the longest chain. The class that won got a pizza party. That was a great way to blow some nickels.
October 18, 2007 at 7:51 am
Clearly some folks overstated the value of their services. Still, it’s a great collection of prizes, and even if it’s only a PR2, I’d take the link / traffic from him. Every little bit helps.
October 18, 2007 at 7:38 am
winning is winning, besides they dont update for 24 hours
Keep watching that ticker chow!
October 18, 2007 at 6:25 am
What`s the big deal about the prize list format .. geez it`s not that hard to read!
October 18, 2007 at 6:07 am
Wow, that is some really nice prizes!
October 18, 2007 at 4:45 am
From my stats it seems today you are losing.
As usual:
Check my blog to see the competition’s stats on my right bar.
October 18, 2007 at 4:30 am
And it’s not working on my Google Reader
October 18, 2007 at 4:04 am
I subscribed but Im not getting any posts through the feed.
October 18, 2007 at 3:54 am
$250 – Free reviewme review on mubinahmed.com – From mubinahmed.com
You must be kiding, it’s PR2, he should have paid you for posting his link here
October 18, 2007 at 3:05 am
I’ve subscribed as well… I hope I win something! SEO Book, Free 1 Year hosting for my blog… anything would do I guess.
Cheers,
Carlo Selorio
October 18, 2007 at 2:21 am

October 18, 2007 at 1:42 am

October 18, 2007 at 12:50 am
Dang … that’s a lotta prizes. Hope I win something
October 18, 2007 at 12:41 am
I wish I could see the look on Shoe’s face after the FeedBurner Chicklet updated and see that he’s only ahead by 23.
October 18, 2007 at 12:14 am
The prizes are certainly attractive! I have submitted my entry for today!
October 18, 2007 at 12:11 am

October 18, 2007 at 12:09 am
This is awesome stuff — i’m green and ready to learn. any thoughts for someone very new to all of this??? feedback welcome.
October 17, 2007 at 11:42 pm
This is a great idea. I have made my ENTERY for today
October 17, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Wow… if you don’t win, he must have come up with something really amazing. Anyone who says you’re not a marketer just needs to look here to know they’re wrong.
October 17, 2007 at 10:53 pm
1 in 12000 those aren’t terrible odds,:) so Ill enter.
October 17, 2007 at 10:43 pm
Wow. You spent a lot of time on this. You better win!
October 17, 2007 at 10:30 pm
I am defintely in for this one, you got it ShoeMoney as always on top of your game!
October 17, 2007 at 10:28 pm
You might need to check it against the list above. I’m only offering $20 from each site, although I am planning on running another contest on my sites, too.
October 17, 2007 at 10:21 pm
What a great idea – I’ll be blogging about
this awesome “Give away” to our readers
and probably having my own contest for my
blog soon =) haha great idea I love it.
JJ
October 17, 2007 at 10:18 pm
Hahaha, very evil. Lets see how it works
October 17, 2007 at 9:49 pm
Yup, you are creating controversy, any publicity is good.
Great stuff Jeremy, you got some buzz marketing in your pocket. 
October 17, 2007 at 9:31 pm
Awesome contest Shoe – lets kick some Chow! – not seeing anything in todays email or newsgator yet just this post announcing the contest….
October 17, 2007 at 9:13 pm
I’m excited for this contest! Maybe I can win something, seeing as how John Chow never lets me win!
October 17, 2007 at 9:13 pm
I feel mightly inclined to give it a go.
October 17, 2007 at 9:09 pm
It worked in newsgator and bloglines but there isn’t any link for the contest in google reader or in the email.
October 17, 2007 at 9:02 pm
This contest is going to rule !
October 17, 2007 at 8:53 pm
Well… I knew you would come out with something big for this competition, and you did it. Lets just see what John Chow’s counter is going to be.
October 17, 2007 at 8:26 pm
wow, finally the shoe is out in this competition
October 17, 2007 at 7:54 pm
Regular bloglines won’t work either…
October 17, 2007 at 7:54 pm
when i clicked on it thru bloglines is said “Sorry, this contest is for subscribers only.”, is it because i’m using the beta version?
October 17, 2007 at 7:25 pm
Shoe.. Not show
October 17, 2007 at 7:25 pm
Show: I see John chow is starting to influence you…
That huge “SUBSCRIBE TO OUR RSS FEED” popup is highly evil and annoying.
Great job
Just one thing, please remove it after the end of the contest!
October 17, 2007 at 7:14 pm
I will find out
October 17, 2007 at 7:03 pm
Tight, I am going to try to win this one…
October 17, 2007 at 7:00 pm
I have entered 3 of the 4. Those are some kickass prizes! Is the bowling ball a shoemoney ball or custom logo on it?
October 17, 2007 at 6:51 pm
It appears that I have not received a link on a “google reader”, I believe think this might be the problem.
October 17, 2007 at 6:44 pm
thanks for putting up picture of where the link is, that was quick! Now I am having a little trouble signing up under the 4 different readers. I have entered through “the others feed” but how to I get it through the google one, gator and the other one?
October 17, 2007 at 6:33 pm
I don’t see the “Click Here To Enter Todays Contest!” link in the RSS feed. I am not quite sure how this works exactly. So you want us to sign up for the Google reader in order to view your RSS feed? Or are we getting emails every day and we click on those to enter the contest?
October 17, 2007 at 6:32 pm
well I have to check what is offering John… I might win on both sides
October 17, 2007 at 5:58 pm
cool contest should be fun!
October 17, 2007 at 5:33 pm
Great list of prizes.
For al those bitching about the list format;
1) he implied it would be updated and
2) you can get an html format here: http://oakonfire.com/playground/PrizeList.html – sucks but it’s more readable.
October 17, 2007 at 5:31 pm
Looks good. What category is the grand prize? Cash/Advertising/SEO?
October 17, 2007 at 4:57 pm
I wish I could see the face of John Chow while he is reading this blog post
) haha
October 17, 2007 at 4:55 pm
ok, more prizes for us then, donkey.
October 17, 2007 at 4:47 pm
haha you dunno how much your comment just made my day
October 17, 2007 at 4:45 pm
This is about as good as its going to get
October 17, 2007 at 4:39 pm
Yet another great contest, Good luck to all that enter.
October 17, 2007 at 4:38 pm
The formatting of the prize contributors is freakin’ brutal. Why don’t you list what the prizes actually ARE.. and then put a link to the company.
October 17, 2007 at 4:35 pm
Shoe! Guess what? My birthday is November 1st..heh no I’m not looking for prizes, I just wanted to mention that
October 17, 2007 at 4:32 pm
OK, OK….You convinced me. I usually read you on my Google reader but now I have started a NG and BL feed as well…and added the widget to my igoogle for both.
All I need now is the confirmation email from your feedburner. Hopefully it is lagging because everyone is signing up to help you win.
Good Luck!
October 17, 2007 at 4:31 pm
Yes – It actually says “Here is a full list of prizes: (I will be editing this post more tonight but here is the list in online excel format):”
October 17, 2007 at 4:16 pm
i should have created a new blog and blogged about it tonytsai style… interesting method to try and get subscribers 5x’s over.
October 17, 2007 at 4:14 pm
Maybe someone can do a better job of posting the prizes… so we all can read them better.
October 17, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Moto says he’s going to teach you a lesson. Better hide your Pandas folks!
October 17, 2007 at 4:11 pm
HEY –
There is a bowling ball on the list
Thats actually awesome, looks like there are prizes for everyone
October 17, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Asking people to sign up for your RSS 5 times. Are you serious? What a lame way to try and win a stupid self promotional contest. You and Chow have been sinking to all time lows recently.
October 17, 2007 at 3:43 pm
Surely the contest is to get the most unique subscribers though? If we all sign up for the 4 RSS services and the email service then we will each count as 5, isn’t that cheating?
October 17, 2007 at 3:43 pm
Does the bowling ball have anything inside of it? Such as a rose or a hand or anything of this nature?
October 17, 2007 at 3:37 pm
yes einstien (5 actually if you count email)
October 17, 2007 at 3:35 pm
this seems a bit over complicated… i assume if we register this way we will count 4 as four feeds.
October 17, 2007 at 3:28 pm
Great prizes…
October 17, 2007 at 3:23 pm
Nice, a free conference pass as well,
Watch out John Chow
October 17, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Nice work getting 13K worth of prizes.
October 17, 2007 at 3:13 pm
HAHAHA
Talk about evil. Jesus. Your rss is about to skyrocket. Awesome job shoe! Can’t wait to compete!
October 17, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Game, Set, Match.
