Where To Enter The ShoeMoney RSS Contest

By Jeremy Schoemaker 49 comments

A few people were confused where they click on the link in there feedreaders so I thought I would make it a little more clear ;)

Remeber there will be 1 drawing per day per RSS Reader method. So you will want to make sure you enter every day (most people wont have the stamina so hang tight).

Then at the end there will be a grand prize drawing for over $1500.00 in cash and prizes in which ALL entries from ALL categories will be chosen from. So if you get multiple entries every day you will have a much better chance to win the daily prizes AND the grand prize!

    a bit more specific:

    http://www.shoemoney.com/contest/index.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shoemoney.com%2F2007%2F10%2F18%2Fwordpress-gets-some-cool-avatars%2F

    that url is what i get when i click on the “link” to enter for the days contest.

    then i get this on your page:

    Sorry, this contest is for subscribers only.

    i am subscribed via email and RSS. what da dealy yo?

    it took a day or so for me to get mine set up… then you only get the feed once a day. but it might be in spam.

  12. Jeremy said on October 18th, 2007 at 9:55 am

    I haven’t received the email and I signed up yesterday and your feedburner says I’m subscribed. I use gmail and it’s not in my spam folder?

    [Reply]

  13. Domtan said on October 18th, 2007 at 9:57 am

    It’s not in spam. Other are having similar mail problems too. Probably feedburner acting up.

    Clever shoemoney, beating john chow by having every valid rss subscriber sign up 4 times.

    Muahahahhaha

    Shoe, its working great for me from google, newsgator, and bloglines. It does not however work from my main RSS source, netnewswire on my MAC, says I must be a subscriber to enter.

  18. Chris said on October 18th, 2007 at 10:33 am

    Just so you know, if you use Google Personalized Homepage and click the link it shows up as ‘Other Reader’ instead of Google Reader.

  19. Jeremy said on October 18th, 2007 at 10:35 am

    nevermind I guess I am waiting for a RSS feed in my readers for the link. I will just wait for it, sorry about the confusion.

  22. big money said on October 18th, 2007 at 12:30 pm

    Is there a daily winners list anywhere? I was successfully able to enter 4/4 readers so everything works fine here.

  23. Pablo said on October 18th, 2007 at 1:03 pm

  24. Farmer said on October 18th, 2007 at 1:03 pm

  25. Michael said on October 18th, 2007 at 1:04 pm

    Thanks for the clarification. I was actually somewhat confused.

    [Reply]

  26. Farmer said on October 18th, 2007 at 1:06 pm

    Nothing…just keep trying over and over in feeddemon…you might get in before the contest is over.

  27. Pablo said on October 18th, 2007 at 1:08 pm

    Ahh yes, This makes it a lot easier to understand for sure, I was actually confused on the last post :)

    [Reply]

  32. ShoeMoney said on October 18th, 2007 at 2:42 pm

    they would go in the other ;)

    we basically looked at the top 3 and then put the rest in other (subscribers to shoemoney)

  33. Keith Cash said on October 18th, 2007 at 3:22 pm

    This makes it easier. Thanks
    It is becoming clear

  34. Badi Jones said on October 18th, 2007 at 3:26 pm

    Thanks for clarifying that. I entered with Google Reader, Safari, and Bloglines today. I just realized that I entered a different email address with my name than I used when I subscribed. Am I still eligible? :)

  35. Israel said on October 18th, 2007 at 5:08 pm

    so are We above hung out to dry?

  36. Jon - Art of Money said on October 18th, 2007 at 5:20 pm

    Same thing for me. Email delivery via Feedburner to my Gmail account.

    [Reply]

  37. Farmer said on October 18th, 2007 at 8:04 pm

    It just takes a second (or two) to log into G reader, newsgator, & bloglines to submit. ;)

  38. King Jacob said on October 18th, 2007 at 9:43 pm

    I think I got it and entered via gmail and google reader.

    Dont bother people !

    John Chow is gonna lite this baby up. Shoe will be standing in the corner like a spoilt little marketer, glancing back at Chow from the shadows.

    This is so funny.. its like, shite.. I can’t do this purely on the strength of my audience.. I’d better see if I can encourage them to clone themselves.. (damn that sounds good..) :)

    My Google reader locks up every time I try to open a Shoemoney feed. My other feeds open with no problems

  43. Harrisburg Web Design said on October 19th, 2007 at 1:40 pm

    Are you supposed to be able to signup from the posts to email option? That returns the “must subscribe” message. I’ve already got a subscription through my feed reader, so not a huge deal, but I figured the email subscription would count in the “other readers” category.

    [Reply]

  44. Harrisburg Web Design said on October 19th, 2007 at 1:42 pm

    They’re both pulling out plenty of tricks. Chow was the first to offer incentives to feed readers, now Shoe stepped it up a level. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Chow do the same down the road here.

  45. Jeremy said on October 19th, 2007 at 4:35 pm

    I am getting the error “Sorry, this contest is for subscribers”
    After clicking on the emails from feedburner via gmail.

    When I try and enter from google reader or email I get taken to a “sorry this contest is for subscribers only” page.
