I need some input on something odd that's happening - GoFuckYourself.com

I would like to ask you guys a question about a contest thread I'm running
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=574798

We're giving away $1K in content for the most popular fan sign, photo, text, or photoshop creation. The rules are very broad really, basically whatever people come up with is going to be put up in a poll and be voted on by gfy.

Here's the problem. Only a few people have entered the contest, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why?

The content is very good, it's fresh and hardly exposed at all, and it comes with all kinds of extras. I just don't see any reason people wouldn't want to enter. Could it be that people just don't need content?

Would you guys be kind enough to post your ideas on why this contest is not being entered by more than a handfull of people, I sure would appreciate it.

my 2 cents...
I would love to win, and may still enter.
Buuut, making fansigns compete against photoshopping makes it daunting.

"Sell my Content.com - Buy Theirs hahaha8211; Sell Yours" is a LOT of words for a little fansign.

Can speak for others of course...

I'd enter, but we create our own content, so.........

Tom_PM · 02-17-2006, 02:29 PM

Well, it seems affiliates just want sponsors free content theses days also. It's weird. I may have to do a fansign, hehe

so, I guess what you're all saying is that the contest is too difficult? Maybe using fan sign as a description of what we wanted wasn't quite right, I guess it really isn't a fan sign, although, a fan sign is one of the ways you can enter

I don't get that "hahaha8211" part but you think 8 words is too much?

Write it on a white board or piece of paper, then hold it up and take a photo of yourself and have all the text come out legibly. It's harder than it looks.
