Christy from Christy’s Coffee Break is hosting a very worthwhile contest that I hope some of you will decide to participate in. She is asking each of us to go out into the community and perform one random act of kindness. It doesn’t matter how big or small; the important thing is to make a difference.
The contest deadline is February 15th. Prizes include $25 cash, $15 cash, and a t-shirt. You can help sponsor the contest by donating additional prizes.
Being the big hearted blogger she is, Christy will be donating $35 for clothing to children in need for every 100 random acts of kindness! She will donate up to $105. Each $35 donation is combined with donations from multinational organizations to provide $455 worth of clothing!
I will be participating in the contest, and I hope you all decide to join me! Let’s make a difference!

The contest will run until midnight on January 31st. At that time, I will select a winner through random.org. I will post a review of the winning blog during the first week of February. The winner will also receive a 125 x 125 pixel banner ad spot on this site for the entire month of February.
Good luck!
There are a number of options for online income - paid posts, banner and text link ad sales, Google Adsense, WidgetBucks, various other affiliate programs, and tip jars. Blog contests are another great way to score a few bucks - easy money that many bloggers completely overlook.
More and more blogs are jumping on the contest bandwagon, and cash prizes are often up for grabs. Entries are usually secured by simply subscribing to RSS feeds, writing short posts about the contests, or even just by leaving comments.
I regularly read several contest blogs. I enter the contests that catch my eye, and I’ve been fortunate enough to win three prizes so far - a day planner, an exclusive list of 200 recently expired domain names along with $10 to register one of them, and Charles Trippy’s Viral Video Fever DVD set.
Here are a few great contest resources.
