Calling all WRITERS, GRAPHIC DESIGNERS, and PROGRAMMERS! (contest/free LGG, wtfnoway)
I have enough funds to start the advertisement competition. Before making the official post (will be in the graphics/writing/programming sections), there needs to be a little brainstorming as for how to go about splitting the rewards.
There will be three competitions:
1) The Graphic Competition
This will be an image advertisement of any size, preferably larger. It should be about the size of the entire Gaia post area (as in, you should be able to post just the image, click post, and people will join LogicalGamers), so it will include text and various information within the image, in whatever stylish method you so choose.
Smaller images, icons, banners, etc. are fine, and may be rewarded with smaller amounts of LGG, but won't be eligible for the grand prize. They may, however, be used for affiliates and non-spam offsite advertising. So, you'll enjoy your icon's e-fame.
2) The Writing Competition
This will be writing paragraph(s) about LG. These paragraphs will be persuasive and posted along with with aforementioned graphic advertisement (e.g. the post after), or by themselves. You may write it however you wish. Remember: persuasion is key. Include various links to this site (maybe read up on persuasive link tutorials?).
3) The Programming Competition
This will probably pay the least (but still a lot), depending on how amazing the program is. This will be a simple few programs: mass poster, mass PMer, mass etc. The goal is for someone to input a mule username/password, the post data, and click Go. The end. The post data will then be posted in copious amounts throughout Gaia (anywhere of your choice - be it PMs, posts, profile comments, Chatterbox, ED, etc.).
Remember: username, password, post data, go
Keep it simple and effective. This is a very important part to make the ad campaign effective.
(If you are making a bot for a site that doesn't have easy-to-access forums [e.g. RuneScape], you may consider making a chat-spam bot).
X) All Contestants
Your advertisement does NOT need to be targeted at Gaia Online. You may target RuneScape, Solia, Neopets, World of Warcraft, or any other gaming site. Target whichever you think you can persuade the most members to join from.
Now the planning needs to go to splitting up funds. There is currently ~750k LGG to distribute. I'm hoping to reward a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each contest, and use all three ads for the link spreading.
How is this:
This puts us at 825k, which I can surely raise before I officially start the contest.
Any suggestions or alterations?
Writers, graphics designers, and programmers may want to go ahead and get a head start.
