PPG Annual Marketing Contest
The PIPS Power Group (PPG), a group of mentors established to help Plug-In Profit Site members excel with their home business, is holding their 2nd annual summer marketing contest.
For whatever reason, I didn’t participate in last year’s contest. This year, however, I decided it would be a good idea for me to participate as it can only help my work from home business. Getting motivated and staying focused on daily tasks can be hard, so this contest is a way to keep me on track with what I need to do.
I just wanted to share with you all what requirements were included with this contest, so you can get somewhat of an idea of what it takes to market your online business and that it takes a daily and consistent effort on your part.
Here’s what we are required to do each day:
- Post at least once to our blog
- Post at least 4 comments on other blogs
- Post at least 4 forum posts, on 4 different forums
- Make at least one post in the PPG forum
- Write at least 2 articles per week
After that, we have to post our daily activity of what we did, including posting the links to all the posts we made in forums and blogs, a link to our blog post, etc.
Now before the marketing contest began, we posted how many inbound links we had to our site as well current Alexa ranking. The winner of the contest is the one who has the biggest positive difference of those numbers and what those numbers are at the end of the contest.
The PPG marketing contest runs for 6 weeks, and this is day 2 of the contest. So far I’ve been able to manage to meet the requirements for yesterday, and I’m on a good track to meet them for today.
Doing these tasks everyday will make a positive impact on my business. Looking at this, this should give YOU a good idea of what is needed to take your online business to the next level.
If you’re struggling with your business or just want to take it to that next step, but feel like you just keep hitting roadblock after roadblock, I highly recommend checking out the PIPS Power Group and see what they can do for you.

Hi Alan, that really seems like a tough list to do. But if you really think about it the longest part will be writing your blog. The rest will seem like play time!! And think of the backlinks your business will receive!! Great post, Tim Stokes.

@Affiliate Earning, Hey Tim, the hardest part for me will actually be writing two articles per week. I have yet to do that and only have 3 days left for the week!

Hi Alan
What a great idea sharing the PPG contest rules with everyone. This is a great competition which is really designed to get our businesses moving – the prizes are just a bonus!
Everyone in the PPG is busy now….

@Ros Bott, Hi Ros, I’ve found it helpful to share with my readers what I’m doing or what’s going on, rather than trying to come up with a subject matter to write about. There’s a lot of work that I do that I know would be helpful to my readers, so I’m just sharing it with everyone.
You’re right, the PPG is very busy, and this contest is more about our businesses than it is about the prizes. I personally don’t care about the prizes, but if I win, then that’s a plus.
Thanks for stopping by!
