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!
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.
Looks good. What category is the grand prize? Cash/Advertising/SEO?
I wish I could see the face of John Chow while he is reading this blog post
:)) haha
ok, more prizes for us then, donkey.
haha you dunno how much your comment just made my day
This is about as good as its going to get
Yet another great contest, Good luck to all that enter.
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.
Shoe! Guess what? My birthday is November 1st..heh no I’m not looking for prizes, I just wanted to mention that
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!
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):”
i should have created a new blog and blogged about it tonytsai style… interesting method to try and get subscribers 5x’s over.
Maybe someone can do a better job of posting the prizes… so we all can read them better.
Moto says he’s going to teach you a lesson. Better hide your Pandas folks!
HEY -
There is a bowling ball on the list
Thats actually awesome, looks like there are prizes for everyone
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.
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?
Does the bowling ball have anything inside of it? Such as a rose or a hand or anything of this nature?
yes einstien (5 actually if you count email)
this seems a bit over complicated… i assume if we register this way we will count 4 as four feeds.
Great prizes…
Nice, a free conference pass as well,
Watch out John Chow
Nice work getting 13K worth of prizes.
HAHAHA
Talk about evil. Jesus. Your rss is about to skyrocket. Awesome job shoe! Can’t wait to compete!
Game, Set, Match.
