XSHOT Photo Contest at Affiliate Summit East 2009 August 9, 10 and 11

My friend @HeatherinBC of Beautiful British Columbia is the ASE09 Blogger Lounge Mistress/Liason and will be happy to show you how much fun it is to use the XSHOT Camera Extender! She also contributed this Guest post.

Contest Rules:

While attending Affiliate Summit East in New York, photograph XShot Camera Extender ‘users’ holding an XShot Camera Extender – or get someone to photograph you holding the XShot. Perhaps you will see Lady Liberty holding her XShot Camera Extender – now that would be a great shot!
The XShot Camera Extender MUST appear in the picture you submit!

HINT: IZEA Insiders have XShots and many bloggers do as well 🙂

Upload your photos to Flick’r and/or Facebook and use the two tags, ‘xshot and ase09’ on each photo. Enter as many unique, unusual, silly or picturesque photos as you wish.

Perhaps you will be lucky and get a group shot of all the bloggers hamming it up with their XSHOTS.

Prizes: Your very own XShot Camera Extender, PLUS a link to you or your blog from each of the bloggers taking part in the contest (think about THAT for a minute!), as well as your winning photo on each blog.

Winning photo will be voted upon by the bloggers hosting the contest, and will be chosen based on creativity. Contest ends August 11 at 6pm Eastern and the winner will be notified via Twitter or email, so be sure to leave a comment with your contact details on this post after entering.

Perhaps you will see @BrettBum from There’s Something About Harry using his XSHOT to take a photo of himself and Lady Liberty.

@ConnieFoggles of Brain Foggles might be spotted taking group pictures with her XSHOT while eating pizza at the MarketLeverage John Chow dot com Pho Pizza Party.

@Laurie_Pooh from La Vie de Laurie will surely have her XShot in hand while checking out the affiliate opportunities and all the fabulous SWAG in the Exhibit Hall.

If you spot @MurrayNewlands of Murray Newlands atop the Empire State Building with his XSHOT, you can bet he’ll be looking for King Kong!

@BenSpark (Drew) from BenSpark should be easy to find with his XSHOT now that you’ve seen his mug shot 10 times at the side of this post!

XSHOT has provided a promo code, ASE09HBC for a $5.00 discount, so you may buy YOUR OWN XSHOT because “YOU deserve to be in the picture too!”

Good Luck finding the XSHOT users – and most of all have FUN taking pictures at Affiliate Summit and in New York City!

Side note: I will have 12 Xshots at ASE09. I’m figuring out a creative way for people to win one from me. I think I’ve got it but we shall see. – Drew

Conferences, Photo-A-Day

Self Portraits in BenSpark's PhotoBooth
Photo-A-Day #1400

Today was a very cool day because I’m making some really great connections. First off there are all the great people from IZEA who are very excited about my recent post about the 10 best reasons to attend IZEAFest 2009. In the conversation in the comments Carri from IZEA got a great idea of doing a photo-a-day countdown. We talked about those construction paper countdown rings. Carri made it more Web 2.0 and decided to make an IZEAFest 2009 daily photo countdown. How cool.

I decided today to go and put myself in BenSpark’s PhotoBooth. What is BenSpark’s PhotoBooth? BenSpark’s Photobooth is something that I am going to do with my Xshot as often as I can. So if you see me at a conference then you have to step inside BenSpark’s PhotoBooth, it might be very beneficial for you. Oh man I am so excited for IZEAFest 2009.

I also rearranged my sidebars to include my full BenSpark’s PhotoBooth photoshoot on the left sidebar. Let me know what you think about how things look. I did notice that now that the tag cloud has been added I see that I have a bunch of posts that are set as uncategorized. I need to go through all my old posts and update them so that they are in proper categories and I’m trying to narrow them down to between 10 and 20 categories to make searching much easier. With over 3200 posts cleaning everything up is going to take some time. Lots of time but having everything cleaned up with an excerpt for all of them plus tags, proper categories and info in the All in One SEO Pack. I’ve been making sure to use that in every new post now. A great plug-in certainly a must have.
