Easiest $5 every hour for 8 hours.

8 HOUR’s GONE - 8 WINNER’s $5 RICHER
This was not as successful as I hoped, but I learn from my experiences. I really jumped into it too fast. Wait for another much better thought out contest in the next couple weeks. We do have winners though because I keep my promises.
Bob from BobMeetsWorld.com - $5
Iker from Thethinkingblog.com - $5
PixelHead from PixelHeadOnline.com - $5
Serafina - $5
WebGirlsonline from Zigzo Zlinks - $5
Jeff Munro from JeffreyMunro.com - $5
SnoAngel02 - $10
Here is a little experiment that is thought up from theBobMeetsworld.com contest.
This one is different though, because it doesn’t require any effort or knowledge, just a few seconds every hour or so.
Comment on one of my many topics, check out
40 Creative Date Ideas,
Hopeless Romantic,
Fly an airplane today - GWS slowstick,
Make a thousand dollars with your credit,
Hiking the Lost Coast Trail.
RULES:
-Comment on any post with more than 10 words and you are entered into the drawing to win $5 for that hour.
-Enter up to 1 time every half hour. That means you can get 2 chances to win per hour for 8 hours.
-The time will be completely random. I might pick the winner at 31 minutes or 48 minutes or 59 minutes, but probably after the half hour so that people can get two entries in.
- The winners will be determined as fast a possible, but the money and the winners list will be distributed tomorrow morning, so keep trying hard, because you just may win multiple times. Wouldn’t that be a great surprise to wake up $5-$40(you would have to luck for $40) richer.
-IF YOU ARE A WINNER, I WOULD APPRECIATE A QUICK NOTE ON YOUR BLOG, IF YOU HAVE ONE, TO TELL PEOPLE HOW YOU WON.
So here we go. The contest starts at 3:45 PM PST, so that is when I will start watching comments. Enjoy and Good Luck!
THE CONTEST WILL BE FROM 4PM PST to 12PM PST. So you have 8 hours. Enter every hour for another chance.

Cool idea and great link bait! i hope i win bc i could use $5! sounds small but $5 is like 2 months worth of ramen noodle!

Hey Adam, this is a cheap and effective to create some buzz among the blogosphere hopefully it helps the traffic. If I win some of the cash I will be more than happy to write a post about you on Jeffrey Munro dot Com. Gets around 1000 uniques a day so hopefully it will generate some traffic to your blog. Keep up the good work,
Jeff

Hmm.. I need to come back when I have more time. When does this “easiest $5 every hour for 8 hours” thing end anyway?

Wow this is really a cool deal! If I do win some cash, I will most definetly write about you in my blog and that extra $5 would look good in my dwindling bank account!
