Jimvesting's 500 Subscriber PARTY! Win Free Prizes in a 24-Hour Scavenger Hunt!

Author: Jim | Filed under: Announcements, Contests

Jimvesting dot com has come a long way since I first started things up in October of 2007. As the current theme was first released to the public on March 01, 2008… subscriber numbers have been bucking the trend for months. We first managed to hit the 100 mark on April 12th, and just a few months later on July 30th it was the 500 mark that was broken! We’re on a great pace to break 1,000. :)

Jimvesting has been a growth story like none other, and passing 500 RSS subscribers is a huge accomplishment that all of you should be very proud for contributing toward. Personally, I feel that the 500+ subscriber blogs are a more elite group. Any blog with more than 500 readers is validated as a reputable authority, and people see that high number as a proof of hard work and dedication. As such, I’m ecstatic to be counted among the few that have been able to stay the course and attract new people on a consistent basis to reach the benchmark number with theNetFool.com.

As a token of my appreciation… I wanted to give something back!

Announcing the 24-hour Jimvesting 500 Subscriber Party!
It’s a scavenger hunt starting now! :D

So how does it work? I’m giving away 6 awesome prizes to the lucky people that find them first. I’ve hidden images that represent each prize in old posts from theNetFool.com… and it’s your job to find them! So get on over to the archive page and check out my old articles. If you found one that is a winner, you’ll see one of the images (below) in the post. You can only win one prize, and the prize that you win is the prize that you find and comment on. So let’s get this under way!

The Prizes
I had some stuff that wasn’t my size from Market Leverage’s care package I received in the mail two months back, so I’m giving away some awesome gear! What’s up for grabs? A very high-quality Nike golf shirt (size medium) that looks quite professional, a cool ML baseball hat (one size fits all) and an awesome ML “I’m Blogging This” t-shirt (size XL) that you can show off. In addition, I’ve decided to let you guys at a free private registration on a domain name, a 125×125 advertisement on theNetFool.com and a featured text link advertisement on theNetFool.com. This is some awesome stuff that will only last until claimed… so get hunting!

The Images
Below are the images that you will be hunting for on old posts from theNetFool.com. Don’t try to use Google because I’ve renamed everything so it simply won’t help to try and cheat! All of these will be inside the actual content of my posts, and to win you need to comment on the posts as is instructed below. The image that you find is the prize that you win, and again you can only win once, so if you are a good scavenger you might want to pick your favorite! :D


Market Leverage Nike Golf Shirt (Size: M)

Baseball Hat


Market Leverage T-Shirt (Size: XL)

Private Domain Name Registration


“The Catch”

Obviously, to win you need to be subscribed to my RSS Feed! The only way I can confirm this is to check my email subscribers… so you should go ahead and register via email for my updates if you haven’t already! You can do that by entering your email below… it only takes a few seconds to sign up and confirm, and you’ll get nothing but updates (we don’t spam!) and be automatically entered in all future contests.

Enter your email address:


But How Do I Claim My Prize?

If you find an image, you can claim your prize by posting in the comment section for that article “I found a free _____ from the Net Fool’s 500 Subscriber Party!” and I will email the address in the comment for information on how to claim. Don’t forget that even if someone has commented, there’s a chance they aren’t subscribed so you can even try to sneak in as a runner-up winner. All unclaimed prizes will be randomly distributed to the commentators on this post! ;)

Helpful Hint: I have scattered the prizes around my posts, but there is no more than one prize per month of my writing. So if you find an image in an April publication… you’ll have to go to another month of writing to find a different prize. Remember to use the Archive for help!

Again, I wanted to thank all of you for making theNetFool.com such a success to this date. We’ll be shooting for 1,000 over the next term… I wonder how long it will take to reach that elite milestone? The scavenger hunt is active starting… now! So stay tuned for more updates from me, and stay bullish on the net!

UPDATE: If you happen to track down the location of all six prizes, send me an email at jim@Jimvesting.com and I’ll send you 100 Entrecard Credits!

      I wanted to make it easy… but require some work. I hid them pretty sporadically, so it’s definitely a challenge.

    Updated the contest details!
    If you can find all 6 locations, you’ll win a quick 100 entrecard credits! :razz: Don’t comment on every post if you find them all… just email me the links so everyone else has a fair chance. If anyone goes around commenting on each post you will be killing the contest for everyone :(

    Have all the prizes been claimed yet? I am not sure so I am commenting on all, I don’t know if that is really the prize they choose. Plus they might not be subscribed. Could you update the post?

      All the prizes have been claimed. At any rate, I said only to comment on one and that you’d be ruining it for posting multiple times on each article :shock:

      It’s okay, just email me all the locations if you wish and you’ll get some EC credits for your dedication :)
