It's time to announce the winner of the contest that started on Jordan's site and ended up here.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out this post: http://www.mikeslife.org/content/blog-contest-regift-and-win-500
The winner is Ponn Sabra who runs a blog called American Muslim Moms, and here's her winning comment, in answer to the question:
What one single thing has had the biggest impact on your blogging success?
Very surprisingly, the one single thing that has had the biggest impact on my blogging success was getting my 9 & 8 yo homeschool daughters blogging along with me. My 6 yo observes, assists and advises as well now too ;-)
While my goals were small & short-sighted, such as helping them improve their writing & typing skills while giving me some new content on the site, they've helped me win a video contest (so they finally got me on youtube) http://americanmuslimmom.com/kid-bloggersvlogge... , helped me learn a photo sharing software program that they use and play for fun with their aunt, and they helped me win prizes twice during a twitter party (by answering questions quickly).
Since they have much more patience to learn new software programs, they've helped me better streamline our work too.
Here's some of their Online PR lessons: http://www.onlineprbook.com/online-pr-lessons-f...
They're even affiliate marketing, learning basic html, playing around with my shopping cart/autoresponder program and giving me so much new & fresh content that I could not keep up with them--so, they're submitting posts themselves.
Oh, they even helped me develop my first survey with google forms, and most importantly, we've developed a regular blogging schedule to keep our posts coming ;-)
I can not call them my "assistants" for they are truly my "partners & advisers" while maintaining the beloved roles as the loves & joys in my life (and my hubby's too) ;-)
Ponn wins:
Like all of us, she has the choice now to either take all these prizes, or regift them by running a competition on her blog and adding something to the mix.
What's you plan Ponn? Do let us know.
You can check the rules in Jordan's original post.
