HUGE Entrecard Tutorial Contest!!
Written on April 2nd, 2009 by Make a Pound
Hey Cardsters!
Today we have a great tutorials contest for you all at Entrecard to take part in we will be giving away a whopping 150,000ec for helpful tutorials to aid newer Entrecard members in getting started and learning the ropes. The main goal is for this contest to generate tutorial videos, with extra points thrown in for tutorial blog posts and twitter tweets. You can make your tutorials about anything to help other users find maximum value and benefit from Entrecard.
Examples to get you started
Here are some examples of tutorials you could make:
How to add the widget to different blogging platforms
How to drop
How to buy ads and maybe show some good buying strategies
How to earn credits by dropping
How to earn credits by increasing the number of people who drop on you

The prizes are as follows
Winning prize – 75,000ec
Second prize – 25,000ec
Third prize – 25,000ec
Forth prize – 25,000ec
Contest rules
Entrants will be judged on quality of tutorial, number of tutorials published (example: two videos and ten tweets), and you will have a better chance to win the more mediums you publish to. For example, someone who creates three tutorial videos, posts them on multiple video sites, and makes some tutorial posts on twitter and their blog, they would get rated much more highly than someone who just posted a twitter tutorial or a blog post tutorial. The contest will run for all of April and we will announce the winners on the Entrecard blog at the start of May.

Someone sent me a message and asked if previously made videos can be entered. No, this contest is for new tutorials only.

yeah, anyone with a digital camera that records video or a digital video camera can easily take video of a computer screen & using Entrecard, and if you know how to screencast, even better!

I have a couple of Entrecard guides on my blog (posted a long time ago but the tutorial and guide still stands up til now). Have received good responses as well from the members about the guides.
The collection of the guide is here: http://www.michaelaulia.com/blogs/entrecard-guide
We should have 1 best guide from each participant and then put a voting system as to which guide is the best (voted by entrecard members)
Don’t think I’m going to do a video though

So now the entrecarders need to blog about ‘how-to-guides’ for entrecard. Interesting! Let me see what i can do. ^_^

I’ll probably give this a shot. Going to test my screen-casting skills later this week. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile now anyway.

I will see about making a tutorial video my self but don’t worry my video will not be counted for the contest.
Just to remind you all this is about a video tutorial contest so if you have a written tutorial you could use that as a template or a starting point for making your video tutorial.

can it considered as a tutorial? http://thumbshit.blogspot.com/2009/04/entrecard-and-rss-my-new-hobby.html

Sounds like fun. I’d like to do something like this, if for no other reason than to offer a guide to other folks interested in using entrecard.
April 5th, 2009 at 3:15 am
hope i can have that!
April 5th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Wow, now this is a great thread! I was subscribed to the RSS, but have missed the last 5 or 6 blog posts, can’t believe it!
April 5th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
I’m going to give it a try…Sure could use the credits! Especially when I can start selling some for money!
I’ve been hit really hard because of the economy and I’m afraid it is only going to get worse……..
So, watch for my videos. I’ve never made one before, so this is a new adventure for me.
No guts, no glory!

I’d gladly read some “how to gain popularity” tutorials. They might be pretty informative.
