How would you like to make $1,000 without investing any money, risking anything, meeting lots of people, learning in the process and possibly having a bucket load of fun?
No, I haven’t been smoking any funny stuff! I’m talking about getting involved on a new level right here on this blog and I will reward you if you are up to it.
I can’t fit all the details in right now as I’m about to travel east for my Adelaide Internet Marketing Session (flight early in the morning), but I will outline the main details now and come back early next week with the full story.
Facebook Has Been Going Nuts!
If you are on Facebook, you may know I posted a question in there yesterday. I got 124 replies in a very short time:
So now comes the time to deliver the answer. I thought it up in a few minutes and now I’m bound to deliver. This will be a rough outline for you to get started if you want to be in the race for $1,000 and many other rewards I will give out.
How To Participate (And Get Started)
The deal is to comment on this blog: SeanRasmussen.com. The person with the most comments on my blog, SeanRasmussen.com (SR.com) for the month of March will be rewarded with $1,000 (AUD)
- There is $1,000 up for grabs March 2010
- Other prizes will be given out too
- There will be a Grand Prize for the overall winner by June 30 – 2010 for the person with the grand total most comments on SR.com
So, keep at it and look for the BIG PRIZE on June 30. I think you may just get pretty excited 
Here are some simple rules:
- First, join the Sean Rasmussen Talks Facebook Page. Only members of that Facebook page will be eligible to collect the $1,000.
- Read the post you comment on.
- Your comment must be relevant to the post and on topic.
- Non relevant comments will be edited out and not counted.
- Short comments will be deleted if they look SPAMMY or FLUFFY.
- You need to use the same name every time you comment so my software will count your comments.
- Use a REAL NAME. Names like “SEO King” & “Avon Girl” won’t be counted. I can’t wite out a cheque for $1,000 to Avon Girl.
- Use the same email address when commenting (is only used by software to ID you as the commenter).
- Your comment count is counted for the month of March 2010.
- Any comments you have previously made on SR.com in March-2010 will count towards your total.
- You will be able to see your total running comment tally in the homepage sidebar on SeanRasmussen.com.
- When posting a comment on SR.com for the first time, I need to approve it before it shows up live in the comment view. This is to prevent SPAM.
- You must be 18 years of age.
- Abusive, defamatory, irrelevant or questionable comments will be removed and not counted.
- Old posts, back dated to the start of the blog, are OK to post on.
- There is no limit to how many comments you can make. Just keep them relevant.
- Do not post multiple comments in the same thread, unless you are contributing genuine content to the conversation.
- Short comments that are obviously posted to get your count up will be edited out and removed.
- When you have commented, leave a comment in Sean Rasmussen Talks (on Facebook) to let me know it is there for me to check out.
- Sean Rasmussen’s decision is final and undisputable when choosing the winner.
- I am not part of the competition
- I will send the money to the winner ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, as long as the laws of that country allows it.
- Fine tuning to these rules may be coming…
Next week, I will make some video’s for those of you that may be beginners or need assistance to get involved. You can get started now. Comment anywhere on SeanRasmussen.com to get started. Actually, why not leave a reply (comment) on this very post? There’s no time like the present…

Nice work Sean and a great way to take in 1K. First.
.-= Clint Maher´s last blog ..Affordable Web Design Perth =-.
Well done, Clint. The early bird gets the worm. Don’t get overtaken on the comment highway: SeanRasmussen.com
Good to see Clint you are on the ball. being full time helps the situation good luck mate,
This is simply great offer…no efforts..n a lot of fun will be there…thanks a lott
WE will all have some fun Vishal, the $1000.00 is a bonus the game is the fun part.
Ah Sean, I like it
Commenting on blogs is now has become second nature. Nothing like a friendly competition though.
.-= Cade Arnel´s last blog ..Open Trade Review – You know it makes Cents =-.
Sounds like a great idea Sean – look forward to seeing what happens. I’ll be sure to join in.
.-= Tom´s last blog ..Getting Targeted Internet Traffic and a Hungry Crowd =-.
Great to have you in the comp, Tom. I look forward to see your progress. May the best blogger win
Hi Sean, alway thinking – a clever and cheap way to get heaps of traffic.
Desiree.
Up there for thinking… Thanks, Desiree
Hi Sean, It’s a clever way to put your info out and make sure it’s read. I’ll be joining in also.
Great challenge Sean, one that this time I will be able to participate in. When I first met you I attempted to win the challenge for the most people to buy “Year of the Affiliate”. I was going to buy 10 copies to keep in my clinic, not realizing it was an ebook. Actually I had never heard of an E-book before that, now I write them.
Cheers
Marney it is great learning new things all the time, bad luck for last and good luck for now.
Hi Sean Love your site and your information –I will be joining in also–
Hi Sean, What a great competition and a great opportunity for someone to win $1,000
Oooh goody – games ! I love being inspired, and this is inspiring.. Good luck to one and all. Thank you Sean.
.-= jo´s last blog ..Empowering Mindset – Purpose =-.
Looking forward to it. Thanks for the offer.
.-= Sunshine´s last blog ..Lessons Un-Remembered =-.
I see many have already begun posting small, rather irrelevent comments, Nicely done guys.
I think the idea is good, so long as people follow the rules outlined, and contribute in a meaningful way. I have seen a lot of backstabbing, lying, and general havoc when the term “Competition” has been added to the mix. People will do almost anything for a freebie. Im not saying that is going to happen here, but sometimes people do funny things to win something silly.
Please don’t ruin Sean’s good intentions JUST for the sake of winning something.
Sean, perhaps add a rule stating a minimum word count in order to be counted? You mentioned not to post short little nothings… how short is short?
May the most deserving person win, all.
Greg
Hi Greg
I will be deleting irrelevant and short messages. This will be a fair contest. I appreciate your concern and you have shown me already that this can contribute to a healthy discussion.
Posts like this article (above) are justified to have short “Thank you. This sounds like a fun contest” answers from participants. Every article has it’s own characteristics for answers.
Cheers mate
Great to learn from watching you respond to comments, Sean. I think people can get a bit carried away with agreeing with everything, so as not to rock the boat. Just as some people can get carried away with disagreeing, just to stir up trouble. Glad you have the professionalism and experience to tell the difference.
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Hate to tell you, but… They think you’re a Spammer =-.
I was finding it odd too that no one was here disagreeing with anything being said but not surprised. People are finding this blog for a reason and taking advantage of the wisdom being shared, as it was mentioned prior it’s no longer all about the monetary gain of the competition but a starting ground for our own successes.
Most comments are so compelling and inspiring that I’ve almost forgotten about the numbers of comments feeling some ranks of comments are not correspondent with the high values of the content being blogged about.
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..Attracting Good People and Good Books =-.
Yea Greg it is good to see you are on the ball and getting us all to think. I’m sure Sean will be a good fair and just Judge.
A brilliant traffic idea Sean! Nothing like quick bucks for motivation.
Count me in, I love a challenge!
Ahh – the cat is out of the sack. Very clever
. And win-win. Traffic for you, back links for us. Are we allowed to copy that somewhere down the track?
And yes, count me in.
.-= Renee´s last blog ..Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind by T Harv Eker – Book review =-.
Wow Sean you sure managed to get the excitement and suspense building with your FB post yesterday. March is going to be an exciting month. Fun for all.
.-= Cheryl Griffin´s last blog ..The Dangers – all Traders need to face at some point. =-.
One of the great things in here is to read the different interpretations of each comment, they all mean the same but have a different approach to what the writer is trying to say. You know the competition word has been mentioned many times i wonder how many more time we will hear it.
Hi Sean,
This sounds like a fantastic opportunity to get a swag of quality backlinks and learn a bit about the art of commenting on blogs in the process. I struggled in the beginning when I started out commenting on other people’s blogs and I think I’m getting better, but by the end of this month, I think I’ll be doing a lot better. As they say, practice makes perfect.
I’m surprised that you would have had trouble commenting Jazz, and that you would have any doubt now about your progress. You’re going great guns!
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Hate to tell you, but… They think you’re a Spammer =-.
Good point Greg. I’m not into being nasty so it never even crossed my mind that people would stoop so low!
You seem to have it all figured out Sean!
Hey Sean,
Awesome idea, Here are two things I love about this concept which I have learnt today and hope others can also take from you.
1) You are teaching through action and sharing ways to increase traffic to your site
2) I often ask people through facebook to comment on my blog. I may get 10 comments but they comment on facebook and not my blog which is less effective. This helps overcome this problem.
To finish here is one potential idea. You mention that short posts are not included. Maybe you could also go the other way in addition to that and give a bonus half point to extra valuable comments and comments that share with the community.
Enjoy Adelaide and looking forward to catching you at TGR in Melbourne in 2 weeks time.
.-= Chris Bellesini´s last blog ..24 – Crazy Or Committed? =-.
Chris you are right on the board with that and thank you sean for helping us learn this strategy. The more we learn the better we will become.
Thanks Chris
We are already getting many great comments with lots of depth. I hold the power to reward dilligence and will certainly do so as I have some great ideas and rewards up my sleeve for action takers
Otherwise Sean, you might go a bit… insane (?) calculating half points on every comment you found valuable? A way to preserve your judging sanity I suspect?
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..Green businesses in South Africa =-.
I am just surprised at how many people aren’t using comment luv on here – or even linking their names! Sean – have you tried the ‘keyword luv’ plugin – instead of putting up with all those comments from ‘avon girl’ and ‘acai berry’ people you can let them link their anchor text like this: Name @Anchor Text and only the anchor text is linked – great for SEO but also great for comment generation – let me know if you want more details – there are directories you could list your site at as well that would promote this site as a ‘keyword luv’ enabled blog. Love the way your mind works BTW
This is a cool comp…
.-= Lisa´s last blog ..Sign Language for Babies =-.
What a great Idea but more to the point what a great way for us all to get extra links on our own sites because if I go to the site linked to here I can link to you and hopefully you can then link to my site
Go Rita you are improving by the minute
Oh goody, sounds like fun, I love competitions with prizes. Got to be in it to win it is the saying. Cool marketing strategy. Get people thinking of the potential.
Great idea Sean. Count me in as a participant.
Fantastic idea Sean – you’ve certainly stirred up a hornet’s nest with this one – look forward to seeing how it turns out.
Colin
.-= Colin Schedler´s last blog ..Inspirational People – Anthony Robbins =-.
Great idea Sean. Heard you speak at TGR Adelaide well done. Same age as me too. I guess you can have the contest every month. You will get a stack of traffic from this. Heading over to Twitter to tell my guys about the contest. http://twitter.com/PhilWilliams2
Spot on, Phil. There will be more of these and there will be a grand total prize for the overall winner.
Sean …… I and many others have already commented on a number of your posts. What happens if we re-comment on the same posts, either deliberately or mistakenly, will we be penalized by you or Google?
.-= Wal Heinrich´s last blog ..Selective Breeding vs Genetic Modification Part 2: Genetic Modification =-.
You wont be penalised. If the comment ads value I will approve it. Don’t think of Google. We are having a conversation and any comment that ads value will stay. Others I will delete.
Another thing Sean, just wondering about the tax situation for the person who is lucky enough to win. If the winner is Australian, will they have to include this $1000 on their tax form? Thanks.
.-= Wal Heinrich´s last blog ..Selective Breeding vs Genetic Modification Part 2: Genetic Modification =-.
Possibly. I’m not able to give opinions or advice on this due to the laws we have. It is not a competition. Consider the money a reward for a hobby you engage in.
This is very interesting, one thing this will do is keep the page fresh, therefor allowing Sean some time to get on with other projects he has in the pipeline am I right in my thoughts ??
Page freshness is always good in Google’s eyes. You are thinking the right thoughts, Rita.
Sean, great idea. It will be interesting to see who the winner is. I liked your comment to Wal about it’s all of us having a conversation. Looking forward to continuing conversations both in March and into the next future.
.-= Tania Shipman´s last blog ..Thanks =-.
Using my real name is what i was taught, and it is understandable because you build your persona people will come to trust you
Nothing like a little incentive to have people participating on your blog hey Sean
And as Rita put it, this will keep the post fresh and kicking on for some time.
Hope everyone remembers that you should be reading the post’s and providing an informative comment – nobody likes comment spam.
.-= Cemil´s last blog ..Online Business Blackbook Releases First Affiliate Marketing ebook =-.
Getting more comments on blogs is a challenge for all bloggers. Nothing like a competition, and cold hard cash, to get people commenting more though! Sean, thanks for your effort in getting more people to be active. Apart from striving to win the money, I hope people get something out of the process of visiting your blog frequently and being active on it.
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..What life is about =-.
They sure will get something out of it. For starters you will all learn from reading the articles. Secondly, you will learn from the exercise. Thirdly: (it’s a secret)
You Know what, I don’t really need to win $1000, the knowledge I am gaining through this exercise will be worth much more than that. To Keep reading each comment can give you an Idea which can in turn become a blog. So this is another teaching tool keeping you thinking and learning
Well put, Rita. I love your attitude towards life.
Thanks for offering the competition. It is prompting me to actually DO something to learn about internet marketing. (why does it take a carrot to kick me into action ?? lol)
Incentives seem to be a good heart starter for most people. I hope to create a few bloggers from this experience. Now, hurry up! The Carrot is waiting
Hi Sean
What a great idea. Your competition will certainly create a lot of interest. I am still honing the skill of blog commenting and your competition will assist in that.
Once the exercise is complete would it be possible to get an idea of the types of comments that didn’t meet the criteria?
.-= Gee´s last blog ..Search Engine Optimization Tips For Baby Boomers =-.
Hi Gee
It is quite simple. If a comment is made simply to clock up a tally with no obvious effort to add to the conversation, then it will most likely get deleted.
Likewise, if the commenter can’t be bothered with their grammar, punctuation and courtesy to other readers, it will most likely end up on the scrapheap.
And rightfully so!
Actually this is the second time I’ve commented on this post but it would seem that Sean is getting so much spam form people trying to make a quick buck that his software filters are working overtime to try to keep it out and sometimes the good seed is being thrown out with the bad.
Be real good people. If you are serious about the competition, obey the rules and everyone will benefit one way or the other. Even if you don’t win I daresay there will be some good advice and tips come from it.
And while I’m on the subject, Sean is demonstrating a great way to get traffic by doing this and I’m sure he’ll well and truly re-coup his $1000 when it’s all over and I’d to suggest that everyone can do the same thing if they want.
Sean R… I agree but what Sean also does – for me anyway – is to make me think outside the box. Not necessarily copy exactly what he’s doing here but to get creative cause I think that’s the kinda chap Sean is. Add tongue-in-cheek and a really great sense of humour to that – but that’s part of the recipe that makes him so successful!
Still, I sit and also try to analyse – or overanalyse what Sean does and that leads to procrastination. Mainly because I want to get it right… but when you read the mindset blogs I get a bit of clarity on my ‘crap’.
Participate… and as you say get some advice & tips. And remember to have fun – everyone will get more out of it!
.-= Samantha Banfield (Witty Sam)´s last blog ..Ultimate Dream Jobs… =-.
Not just for the sake for this competition – but if you’re real about value-adding, building relationships and supporting other bloggers, then it stands to reason that you’ll make an effort to comment appropriately.
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..How to make comments online and build your online persona =-.
I am constantly blown away with what you do! And what a nice carrot to dangle!
Getting a bunch of like-minded people together will give everyone an opportunity to grow & learn something new as well as grow their social network. Never know who you might bump into…
.-= Samantha Banfield (Witty Sam)´s last blog ..Ultimate Dream Jobs… =-.
Hello Sean,
What a magnificent idea, to get people to participate in commenting on blogs, awesome!!
Sean
It is great to see that you are still cooking with gas, electricity, wind, hot air or whatever combination drives you.
This will be a load of fun and I am sure it will increase my vocabulary as well as improve my typing skills.
Thanks – Look forward to the $1,000

Wow! You sure are an action taker, Frank. I noticed you being the first person to join the BlogCatalog Group and you got in here pretty quick. Feel free to put the word out.
It seems to me your typing skills are pretty good
Sean
While I am awaiting moderation of my last post, I thought I would just drop another little one. I see you were in Adelaide. How fortunate for them. I assume you are either on your way back or are back in Perth by now.
I do hope that this venture of yours turns out to satisfy your every desire and amuse all of us on the way. I have already obligated the $1,000, so I will have to really stay glued to this machine or I will be in real trouble with the debt collectors.
I fully intend to win it, so I am not going to worry at this point at all, just keep typing and seeing if my fingers can last the distance.
Enjoy your life until you have to ready my next post.
As ever

Hi Sean
Great stuff. You’re quite the ideas man, I love it.
You certainly know how to let all the people who follow you fell valued and worthwhile your business ethics are fantastic.
You are a great example of the win with you value system.
It’s awesome to see you go from strength to strength.

Let the games begin!!!
Traffic = Dollars. I will be sure to let everyone know how it goes. I’m sure I have everyone curious now

Go ahead Sean make my day! Do you feel lucky punk? You bet I do Sean, that $1000 is mine. Maybe I’ll add it to my forex account lol.
.-= Greg´s last blog ..The Perfect Expert Advisor? =-.
Hey Sean I realise that I only entered my first name on this first post (see above). Maybe not a good idea as I see there is another Greg posting here? Anyway, I see that my second post which included my surname, Annett, doesn’t appear. Can you perhaps register my full name which is Greg Annett, for the competition. I used the same email address both times, and that is also my email address on FB. (THis is Post No 3.)
Friendly food for social media think…
Attraction and excitement are important ingredients to successful engagement. You’re contest may just do these things well. But you’ll need things like interaction and conversation to make the engagement complete, sustainable and relevant.
Do you think you’re readers and contestants will connect with each other on their own? Or will you have to give them a little nudge every now and then? Will a coherent conversation breakthrough the weeds and flower?
I look forward to seeing how you work this out. I look forward to seeing if we can rise to the challenge.

Sounds like some people could use a Certificate IV course in financial Services for BAS service providers so they know what to do with all that booty. I’m not nearly as smart on the internet as Sean but I could point you in the direction to find some of those sums of around $1000 to help you pay for a course like that. Sean is not the only source of these leprechaun buckets of cash.
http://www.bukisa.com/articles/244539_how-to-get-into-bookeeping-and-become-a-bas-service-provider-in-australia
Well it looks like some people here might need to do a Cert IV in financial services for BAS service providers just so they know what to do with all that booty! I am not nearly as smart at marketing as Sean but I do have good clues on where to find more of those leprechaun buckets of cash to fund educational activities.
http://www.bukisa.com/articles/244539_how-to-get-into-bookeeping-and-become-a-bas-service-provider-in-australia
Hi Frances,
Really – you know where to find more of those leprechaun buckets of cash? I thought they were at the end of a rainbow – hehehe. Saw a rainbow the other day when it was raining, but didn’t know how to find the end of it. lol Just joking, but wish there was such a thing – maybe people like Sean are the next best thing.
Sean are u for real cause i could use a $1000.00 right now. I was given this free wed site for rich jerk have watched all of his vidio’s but still not sure how all this bogging works so this money u are giving away here would sure go a longway
.-= peter larter´s last blog ..The Rich Jerk Review =-.
Boy has this list of comments grown since I first visited this post! I got sidetracked at the time and look what’s happened!
Count me in Sean. Who couldn’t use $1000 anytime? I love it when you come up with these ideas. Your generosity never ceases to amaze me. Giving away $1000 to the person with the most relevant comments to your posts is really cool. Thank You and may the best commenter win
.-= Ange Recchia´s last blog ..Jim Carrey on Thoughts and Intentions =-.
I do know that Sean is generous. I do love his book the Secret Law of Attraction that is completely for free.
On the other hand Sean is going to get lots of traffic and his name is going to be widely spread by word of mouth. And this is worth much more than $1000. Am I right Sean?
R.
Hey Sean, great idea for generating more traffic to your site! Well done for coming up with a novel idea! Well, I have never been great at leaving comments, but this is worth a try, so count me in!
.-= Kelvin Lim´s last blog ..Sydney New Year’s Eve Fireworks 2009 =-.
@Kelvin, I was never great at leaving comments either. This is just superb time to start. Thanks Sean
You mention that there is a comment tally in the sidebar. I can not seem to find it at the moment, or is that because I havent yet made my first comment?
Maybe it is the bottom bar named “Google Friend Connect”. I cannot see any sidebar either.
This is one way to get your site noticed. Pity it is not UK Pounds.
well
I would be happy even for AUD. Better than nothing :-p And I am sure that everybody is going to have fun….
I’ll definitely participate with expectations of contributing half of my winnings to do the same thing for my site. What a brilliant idea – even if it’s been done before it certainly gets some activity for each site that offers it.
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..My Book Review of Wondrous Strange by Leslie Livingston =-.

Hi Sean,
I love your generous offer, Thank You! I’ve joined the FB page, and also replied to your email. I hope NOW, that I am on the right page! What worries me, is how I’ll get back to it and find it each day, but hey – overcoming challenges is what abundant living is all about.
Hi Nancy,
About finding the page you want each day – click on “Favourites”, while you’re on the page you want to get back to, and then click on “Add to Favourites”. A little window will open called “Add a Favourite” with the name of the page you’re on in the “name bar”- you then click in the box called “Add”. An “entry” with the “name of the page”, will be made at the bottom of your Favourites List. Then when you want to come back to the page, click on Favourites and the Favourites List will drop down – then just click on the “entry” for the page you want, and you’ll be taken to the page you want. I hope you can follow my instructions and I hope this helps.
Diana
I tried to follow your instructions. I clicked so many times on so many things that I thought were the right things that I was amazed that I have wound up talking to myself.
However, I do thank you for the amusement and exercise for my clicking mechanism.
Dobbs
.-= Dobbs Franks´s last blog ..Enhance Your Life With Your Art =-.
Hi Dobbs, how is your clicking exercise going? If you cannot get it work just write here and we will work it out. I use firefox and and all my ‘hot website’ are in bookmarks toolbar so I can access then via one click only.
Obviously you didn’t follow my instructions at all – because that’s how you bookmark a website on your Favourites List. Once you have bookmarked the website, you only have to click on Favourites (top left side of computer screen) and the Favourites List drops down and then you click ‘once’ on the website you want in your Favourites List, and you just get taken to the website. Simple!
Well, I am impressed with your idea. A great way to get traffic and I’m looking forward to see what articles you have.
Sounds like an awful lot of work for 1000.00 (AUD)
George
Please tell me how to make or collect $1,000 (AUD) more easily than this. If this is a lot of work I am willing to do less for $1,000 anytime. Please let me know.
Thanks
Dobbs
.-= Dobbs Franks´s last blog ..Enhance Your Life With Your Art =-.
well, I think that to earn our $1000 we will have to spend lots of time by commenting
I do not think it is ‘awful’ job but might be very very time consuming. Let us see …
G’day Dobbs,
It’s easier than conducting an orchestra with the string section dragging behind the beat a bit.
Cheers
Harry http://www.harrylynnbasementband.com.au
Harry in one way it is, but on the other hand you have to us both hands when typing and many conductors seem to get away with only one.
Whatever, I am still going to try to see if it is too hard to do by giving it my best shot and letting the dollars fall where they do.

As for me, this is a great offer cause it would help me in so many ways, in case… I found it no risk at all, in fact, this a win win thing. I’m not just learning wisdom from the books and articles that you are sharing, I have also been given a chance to gain some dollars. Thanks!

Hi Sean, great idea to get lots of people to check out your site. What $1000 wouldn’t do for my financial situation – Wow! Very generous of you. By the way, thanks for all your emails but talking to people about money is not my best thing – public speaking about anything is not me – I’m to scared.
Anyway best of luck to the best person. I’m sure that whoever wins will put it to good use.
Regards,
Diana Kavanagh.
Hi again Sean, I forgot to mention in my previous comment, that I have no idea how to use Face Book or Twitter, as I’ve never been to Face Book myself, and I haven’t got a Face Book whatever.
Regards again,
Diana Kavanagh.
Don’t think I’m going to be able to post enough to win the $1000, but hey blogging is fun and I think Sean deserves the kudos for thinking up this idea. Here’s an idea for the eventual winner: check out a cool way to trade your $1000 and make a few more fistfulls: check out the website linked to this post…
.-= Greg Annett´s last blog ..The Perfect Expert Advisor? =-.
Hi Greg,
That’s interesting about the online trading – my son-in-law does trading too so I’ll tell him about The Perfect Expect Advisor? It might help him with his trading, coz I’m not sure he’s doing that well. Thanks.
I know I am not either Greg but its a great learning exercise but I do have FAITH that I will accumulate my cash anyway
Rita we are all winners regardless of whether we win the $1000 or not. I also agree that we can learn so much from the blogs and from ourselves and each other!
Let’s do it all together as a community!
.-= Samantha Banfield´s last blog ..Sean Rasmussen and his crazy talk! =-.
Hi Samantha & Rita,
Yeah I agree about learning – I might “learn” how to use Face Book and Twitter – (never tried before) that is if I can get my 16yr old daughter to show me how – they say one is never to old to learn.
You can do it Diana… otherwise you can ask. There are plenty of people here or if you have joined the Forum then it’s THE place to get all the knowledge you’ll need to be empowered!!!
Go forth & you can make it happen!
.-= Samantha Banfield´s last blog ..Sean Rasmussen and his crazy talk! =-.
Thank you Samantha, I’ve actually learned a bit just by roaming around Facebook but I’m not going to bother with Twitter just now – this is enough for the time being. Thanks for your confidence in me – wish I had it.
I agree, even if it’s not the $1000 direct from Sean I think true followers and action takers will win much more than $1000 from consistently reading and meeting people who believe and support.
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..I Am Attracting You and Your Vote Via Law Of Attraction =-.
I dont get it, why do you do the things we do?
George
I think we do the things we do in order to get it.
I hope we both will get it as long as I get it first.

The “Fistful of Dollars” has really taken off like a rocket!
I can’t believe the response… What a challenge!!
Sean – you blow me away. Not only are you a great guy on the internet, you are a fantastic guy in person, and now this – a competition that is getting everyones attention. It just goes to show that those that care are always the ones to follow. Good idea – love the videos on how to get started, and how the competition works…..sure makes it easier to understand. YOU ROCK!!!
Lisa
.-= Lisa Wood´s last blog ..Its Meant To Be =-.
Wow! Im getting excited just thinking about being able to contribute, let alone win a thousand dollars. I’ve been working at this LOA stuff on and off over the last few years and thanks to facebook pages such as yours I have learnt so so much from being able to share and learn from other everyday people from around the world, the internet is SO awesome.
Much agreed- the internet is awesome and getting better and better the more people I meet as the more opportunity grows. Welcome to the next part of the LOA
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..I Am Attracting You and Your Vote Via Law Of Attraction =-.
Just letting you know that I am having alot of FUN!!!!
Guess what… for some strange reason I am learning quite abit about myself. Getting some real insights while I am reading the blogs – and learning about other people. I am noticing how I react when I read replies from people that aren’t coming from a good place – they are on their own journeys & I know they will get there eventually!! I have faith in them!!
What a fantastic journey I am on – sure there is the $1000 challenge but guys it’s far bigger than that!!!!
.-= Samantha Banfield´s last blog ..Sean Rasmussen and his crazy talk! =-.
Just to clarify the rules.
When you have commented, leave a comment in Sean Rasmussen Talks (on Facebook) to let me know it is there for me to check out.
Do you want a comment on Facebook for every comment on SR.com? Or once per every day that we comment to cover multiple comments? Or even less frequently?
.-= Wal Heinrich´s last blog ..Internet Marketing Why? How? =-.
Hi Wal, I think that Sean meant to leave him a comment only the first time. That means when your comment needs to be approved so it could be counted and actually visible to others. On the other hand Sean might like you to leave Facebook comment every time you comment on SR.
Yes. Your comment only needs approval the first time. After that the next comments automatically publish immediately (unless they contain spam terms). I also like you to go to the SeanRasmussenTalks FanPage to notify that you have posted comments.
Another thing you can do is post the link of the post you have commented on in your profile.
Sean, apologies, still not totally clear.
It sounds like you are suggesting that after each comment we go to SRT and our own Facebook pages and advise that we have posted a comment. This would mean that Jill and Jazz and Renee should be posting to their Facebook pages and to SeanRasmussenTalks about 40 or 50 times a day (or however many times these human dynamos comment on this blog). Is that right? Or is once a day sufficient? And this means putting 40 or 50 active links per day on FB per day or per post as well???
By the way, the notify me of followup comments box is new? I didn’t notice it before. I love it!
.-= Wal Heinrich´s last blog ..Internet Marketing Why? How? =-.
I just tried to put all my comment links so far on Facebook in one message and FB said I exceeded my limit. Only 420 characters allowed per message. So that would limit the number of multiple links per message to about 5.
.-= Wal Heinrich´s last blog ..Internet Marketing Why? How? =-.
Wal – Sean just wanted to get an FYI of your very first comment so he could approve it and you could continue to comment. It is not necessary to put the actual comment itself, just let him know to check his records and approve your comment.
Hope this helps.
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..I Am Attracting You and Your Vote Via Law Of Attraction =-.
“Does $1,ooo in my pocket sound ok?” yep it sure does, but even better $1,000 donated to my favorite charity sounds even better. I would love to help those that really need it….I would have trouble deciding which charity to give the money to, but it would be fun to share it all around. Food for thought!! great way for more traffic to a website, was wondering what the other prizes will be?
So looking forward to reading other comments, and to see how this competition goes.
Lisa
.-= Lisa Wood´s last blog ..Its Meant To Be =-.
That is a great idea to generate traffic on your website and it gives me a great motivation to read your blog and learn more things
This contest should be fairly interesting. Best of luck to all those who try for it but I plan to win. LOA is powerful stuff and I’m trying my best to learn to use it to its fullest in my life. I know this contest will help with that in one way or another.
Ben
Hi Sean, can I somehow get notification to replies of my comments? Otherwise it is very hard to track all my comments here. Thank you. R
Sean, another check of the rules, if I may. I know there are some husbands and wives competing. What if they both submit comments under the same name therefore halving the work for each and increasing their competitiveness? Is this allowed?
Good thinking Wal, but I will be doing it on my own.
.-= Richard Colum´s last blog ..Tips for First Time Home Buyers =-.
Just checking back in to update my comment about this dang-diddly challenge…
One thing that people call me, and if you have seen “Friends” then you will get it, is “Monica” – and I have to confess that is me – well, the characteristics that Monica from Friends had. Eeeek… I have opened myself up there!!
But apart from learning so much – about myself as well but I am opening up, making up new & interesting words – I am becoming more into who I am & therefore letting loose (letting go). I highly recommend this to everyone.
.-= Samantha Banfield´s last blog ..Sean Rasmussen and his crazy talk! =-.
Sean
I think I jumped in with too much excitement originally. I didn’t really read all the rules before i started typing.
I apologize for some of the crap I have typed. I hope you will discard the junk and forgive me.
I will genuinely attempt to make sure that all my future posts are relevant and comment only on the topics that are here to be discussed.
Thanks for your patience with the mentally retarded.
Dobbs
.-= Dobbs Franks´s last blog ..Are You Ready To Make Your Life Give You Everything You Want =-.
Thank you for calming down on your posts. I was wasting a lot of time hearing about your dinner and wine choices when I wanted to be meeting believers and livers of the LOA.
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..I Am Attracting You and Your Vote Via Law Of Attraction =-.
Oh, watta great surprise, was that a QUESTION?
.-= Chris Davis´s last blog ..SENuke Get Your FREE Trial Version =-.
Wow! I am loving this contest – exciting and interesting. Best of luck to everyone. As I see it – no matter the outcome, it is a win-win after all. Besides what can be better than following Sean?
.-= Dianne Pearce´s last blog ..Affiliate Millionaire Review =-.
Thanks for this opportunity Sean, but I reckon we are already winners, just with the opportunity we have to read this site from end to end. !
.-= Jo Carey-Bradshaw´s last blog ..Empowering Mindset – Mindfulness =-.
hehehe We are definitely all winners but I’d still love the $1000 – whether it be direct from Sean or in my bank account another way. I already have it spent
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..I Am Attracting You and Your Vote Via Law Of Attraction =-.
Great idea Sean
Once again you have come up with the goods.
I cant believe people would think this is too much work. What do they want? It delivered to their front door step with a bow. If this is too much work go buy a lottery ticket. i know what I would prefer.
.-= Gee´s last blog ..Search Engine Optimization Tips For Baby Boomers =-.
Gee
You are right. There is nothing worthwhile that doesn’t require work. I think the best thing is to find another word for what we do that we enjoy. If you are as lucky as I am you have found a way of life that you enjoy which provides for you and you really don’t have to ‘work’.
See you at the bank.
.-= Dobbs Franks´s last blog ..Today’s Most Vexing Question Is Which Brandy? Armagnac, Cognac or Calvados =-.
$1000.00 to me would be really wonderful. It would help me to invest in more knowledge to better myself and my business. yes i will most certainly gives this ago.
.-= Richard Colum´s last blog ..Tips for First Time Home Buyers =-.
Richard
I admire your noble sentiments. I am sure that you are serious and would do just what you advocate.
However, I am just going to enjoy have $1,000 that I didn’t expect and probably will enjoy spending it, which will put me in such a good mood that I will automatically improve business wise.
At least, that’s my plan.
Just reading these posts and meeting people with the same beliefs should improve your outlook and business sense. We’ll all be able to make $1000 on our own if we read and put into practice what we learn from one another.
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..Attracting Good People and Good Books =-.
Hi Sean, there’s nothing like some cash to get us motivated and win, lose or draw we will learn so much during the process which l think is your main objective here , so thank you for that.
Hi Sean, how is the competition going. I have been following the site and I have been creating my new site, thanks to your encouragement. I have launched it, but since coming back to your site, I realise that I have left something out. Back to the drawing board, thanks.
.-= Terese Cooke´s last blog ..A Perfect Evening in My Back Yard =-.
Hi Theresa,
I just tried to go to your site by clicking the above link and it failed. Wonder if you’d be so kind as to correct this so we can have a peek and give some feedback.
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..I Am Attracting You and Your Vote Via Law Of Attraction =-.
Hi Sarah, I am not sure why it is not opening, I can open it from Firefox, so I am not sure how to check it. Thank you letting me know.
I have had the most fantastic week, the website I was talking about is not the one above but my business one http://www.karleeter.com. I have been taking on projects that are way out of my comfort zone and have had some fantastic wins.
.-= Terese Cooke´s last blog ..A Perfect Evening in My Back Yard =-.
G’day Sean,
Mate, a $1000.00 windfall would pay my YOTA and YOTB subs for yonks ! Bring it on !
Cheers
Harry – typing as fast as I can
.-= Harry Lynn´s last blog ..How Proud Can One Be ? =-.

Forgot to add that the learning and its’ earning potential is far better value than the Grand [ $ 1000 ]
Harry
.-= Harry Lynn´s last blog ..How Proud Can One Be ? =-.
Yes great idea Harry i say bring it on as well
So… today I woke up and had an extra $1000 in my account! I was thrilled (no, it’s not Sean giving away the prize money early) and visualized my excitement for the next $1000 surprise
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..I Am Attracting You and Your Vote Via Law Of Attraction =-.
It has been really great to see the diversity of visitors to this blog. People I’ve never come across before but hope to get to know better. I’m sure we’re all from diverse backgrounds, and it would be great to see you all around more often in the blogosphere.
Thanks everyone for supporting Sean’s blog, because by doing so, we’re all getting a lot out of it. There’s a whole point to this competition, that I hope people are beginning to see the true value in it – well beyond the $1,000.
.-= Lina Nguyen´s last blog ..How to make comments online and build your online persona =-.
fantastic Sean, I am probably too late for the $1000 but I listened to your audio yesterday for 15th March, and had to ask myself the same question- why aren’t I doing this.
Sorry, had the wrong gravatar address.

Still not working. I forgot to refresh my computor. Sorry.
G’day Sean,
My immediate goal is to get higher than the bottom of the top 20 list by midnight today. As mentioned before, the exercise of doing this is wonderful. I’d like to second Lina’s remark of thanking the newer participants for supporting your blog and our mutual learning. Good on yer mates !
Cheers

.-= Harry Lynn´s last blog ..How Proud Can One Be ? =-.
Your last blog title caught my eye, Harry, and I bookmarked your website for later perusal. I did try to comment on one of your posts and the site seemed to have stuck but I will definitely be going back to it later.
I am so very proud of my son, to answer your question, so proud that I was tempted to let him eat cake (he’s only 4 months old) yesterday lol
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..Attracting Good People and Good Books =-.
Talk about Law of Attraction, you have attracted quite the buzz. My hats off to you and I applaud the innovation of the idea. It has my thinking cap working full time to attract people to my own ventures. Well done, and happy commenting. (hmmm.. 2 head cover analogies, maybe my head is cold. Well I am in Canada, so that would make sense.) Cheers!

I just realized that my day and times may be / are different than yours in Australia, Sean. Could you please specify when this competition ends as I am on a roll and do not want it to be for naught (I want it to be for the competition as that’s all I’m doing today and tomorrow). It’s March 30th, 2010 and 8:54 AM where I am writing from as I write.
.-= Sarah Butland´s last blog ..You Are the Reason I Know It Will Happen =-.
I think that at this stage of the competition you must be pretty thrilled with the results Sean! Well done for the innovative idea on getting loads of comments, fresh content and traffic.
Hi Sean,
You’re drawing a lot of interest by running a competition. Now the next one is about to start.
I’m just starting to warm up and could soon become an expert…….

Hey Sean,
Well, diving in to the For A Few More Dollars comp, and thought I would go through all the backlogged links. This post definitely cleared up a few queries I had on just how to go about commenting. I’m guessing that A Few More Dollars comp is going to be a little more involved than the Fist Full of Dollars comp, but time will tell!
Thanks again for the opportunity!
Cheers,
Pete

174 people before you missed that! I like your eye for detail. I did that typo on purpose to test you out (not really)
Wow, this is a very clever way to get people to interact with your site and learn what you are teaching at the same time! I see Jazz Salinger was the lucky winner of the “For A fist Full of dollars” competition that was for $1,000 and I bet she is very pleased with her success! : )
