Help Me Win Blogger of the Year!
Dec 18th, 2009 by Carlos
Here’s the deal: Brazen Careerist, a career site that some of my posts have been featured on, is running a Best Blog Posts of 2009 contest.
Among a whole set of awesome writers, I’ve been nominated! Which is pretty cool—but now I need your help to win. I’ve never won anything before for my blogging, so this is all new to me!
Voting goes down on Twitter and you have to include some very specific hashtags to do it:
- The #Brazen hashtag
- The #BestOf
- http://bit.ly/E64Lq: This is the link to my post that was nominated
So let’s say you wanted to vote for me—this is what the tweet would look like:

About My Post
The post that got me nominated, Why We Want Money, describes different unconscious reasons that cause us to yearn for money. A lot of time, it’s simply a case of relativity. Either way, if you’re interested, make sure to check out the full post.
And then you can vote with a clean conscience!
What’s In it for You
If I win, I get a $150 Amazon Gift Card and the title of Brazen’s Blogger of the Year. If you vote for me, you’ll be put into a raffle for one of three $20 Starbucks cards so you can get your coffee on.
Please vote and tell your friends! I’ve never even been close to winning something like this for my blogging so I’m very excited!






Once again, another award is based on marketing, not merit.
So people are voting for the Starbucks gift cards, rather than the value of your writing.
How does that make you feel?
Dude, I could care less about why people vote for this stuff. I’m in it for the $150 amazon gift card and the publicity.
