Where To Enter The ShoeMoney RSS Contest

Posted on: October 18th, 2007 by Jeremy Schoemaker

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!

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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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..) :)

    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? :)

  24. Farmer
    October 18, 2007 at 1:06 pm

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

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

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

    Muahahahhaha

  37. Domtan

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

  38. Jeremy
    October 18, 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?

  41. HustleStrategy
    October 18, 2007 at 9:36 am

    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.

  42. Israel
    October 18, 2007 at 9:33 am

    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?
