Promote my Blog and Win a Goat!
Or… more specifically… have a goat sent, in your name, to a family in Myanmar.
I’m running a competition for the next two weeks to hopefully get some more traffic to my blog. It’s simple - whoever earns the most points will win the goat!
What does the winner get?
World Vision runs a Gift Catalogue, where specific one-off gifts can be bought for people living in poverty in various parts of the world. After the competition is over, I will pay for 1 goat for a family in Myanmar. The winner will receive (in the mail) a card with a photo and description of the gift, as well as the original receipt. The goat costs $48 (Australian) - which is roughly $US45.
How do you win the competition?
The winner will be the person with the most points after two weeks. There are two ways to get points: comments and links.
Comments
Every new, unique, on-topic comment on one of my blog entries, will score one point. It doesn’t matter who leaves the comment, just make sure that your email address is contained somewhere in the comment and you’ll get a point.
Links
Just leave a link to my blog somewhere, and you’ll get a point. This can include linking from your blog, another website, a directory, anything (obviously as long as the link doesn’t constitute spam!). Just send me an email to stac@india.com with a list of the links you have created to my blog, and that’s one point per link!
One more thing
This isn’t a raffle, but an actual contest. The winner will NOT be drawn randomly from all entries received, but it will be the person who actually earned the most points.
Just one last thing
I’ll post updates on my blog every couple of days to show the top contenders. The winner will be showcased in a blog entry in 2 weeks time - that’s lots of free advertising!!
Contact me
Please feel free to contact me (either through the blog or my email address - stac@india.com) with any questions or anything else. I hope you all decide to participate - just think what a goat will do for a family struggling to make ends meet.

Working for a student loan company is quite a racket. Think about it. The students come to you when they are just out of high school. They are fresh-faced, idealistic, and quite naïve. They get student loans without any thought of how they will repay them. They go off to school, spend four years partying and occasionally studying, and get out into the business world. It is then when the student loans Company strikes.
Don’t get me wrong – often, it turns out okay. When the economy is good, students tend to have very little difficulty paying the student loan company back. Right now, however, things are pretty bleak. That means bad things for this crop of students, but very good things for the people running the student loan company.

Just one question, do you think it’s important to pay for a good brand name monitor or will a cheap one do the same job?
