Why is this campaign not working well ?

Question

Hi,

I have an art dedicated blog and I've decided to run a campaign that I think is a honest one, but it's not picking interest.

It seems that everyone is swimming in money :-)

Why do you think that it's not having acception ?

Here's the campaign :

Thanks!

Take care,

Answer 1

Bribing your readers to do your marketing legwork for you is in poor taste. If you were promoting your blog effectively, you wouldn't need the contest. Do a little research and put together a strong but simple promotional plan. Save your posts for good content - it's one thing to get them there, it's another to keep them coming back.

Another thing, if I may...I had to scroll way down to get to your blog archives. You are over-run with advertising and widgets and junk. I wouldn't doubt it if many people who visit your blog leave right away because they have to work so hard to find the content!

Answer 2

Your campaign is not working because the subject of your contest is lame.  Who wants to write about your contest?  How about you make a contest based on having a contest about a contest?  People are not going to direct traffic to you, with little evidence that anybody is going to win, simply to boost your traffic advertisers.

Give people a topic to write about ...Something about ART might be a good start, since that's the focus of your blog...and then maybe somebody would actually care enough to write something, since nobody believes they'll win the paint.
