This is a competition in which the winner will win my help for two weeks absolutely free and by working with you, I mean I will be with you every step of the way solidly for two weeks to transform your site. This is a genuine offer, I have worked on this site for 5 months, but I made this site explode onto the market within the first two weeks and I will work solidly for two weeks with you to take your website and absolutely transform it, this will include the following;
- Traffic
I will work with you to drive more traffic to your site and I mean a lot more traffic, not just a few more clicks here and there, but hundreds of more clicks every day. Whether you are an established site already doing really well or a brand new site that is in serious need of help, what ever stage you are at if you want me to work with you on your site for free then this is the competition for you.
- Readers
More traffic is great, but it’s pointless unless people are actually reading what you are putting out there, so I will work with you to make sure your content is getting read, work with you so that your message whether it be about fruit and veg or cutting edge technology, whatever you message I will make sure it’s read. Using the techniques I use on this site together we will really make sure your message gets out there.
- Comments
People like getting comments on their content and articles, you work really hard to produce something and you want people to actually comment on it right? This site gets well over a thousand comments a month and I will make sure your site is well on the way to that by the time we have finished. I use a variety of different things to actually get people to comment and I will bring the whole bag of tricks to your door.
- Posts
I will actually help and even write some posts (providing I can depending on the topic) for your site, in nearly 5 months this site has published almost 300 articles and I will work with you to produce more content and of a high quality. Again I will write content for you if I can actually write on that subject matter, if not I will help you learn how to produce more.
All you have to do to win this competition is to leave a comment here and enter your email address in the sign up form below, now in your comment please state a reason why you want me to work with you and on what site. There are a few rules for this competition;
Quick caveat here, I’m not promising 10,000 comments or 20,000 visits, nothing is guaranteed, however, Look around this site and look at how I operate. I will bring all this to you and more, this is a serious offer, but why? Well I’m actually going to make a case study out of the whole thing, I’m going to record everything and I mean everything over the two week period and use it as the ultimate guide on how to actually do this properly, I want you to match the amount of work I put in though I don’t want to be working with anyone expecting me to do all the work.
If you have already signed up to my mailing list then all you have to do is leave a comment, if you’re not sure if you are on the mailing list or not do both and aweber will tell you if you have singed up or not.
So quickly re-cap if you want to win this competition, the closing date is the 31st March 2010 leave a comment here and fill your details in the boxes above.

Very interesting! I am looking forward to see how your experiment comes out
You are always up to something new James, it is awesome that you think so outside of the box.

Ok James, once again, you have my attention! I have been reading your website, following your tweets to make sure I get the latest posts. I do hope we can produce an amazing case study! (I stand amazed at your generosity and willingness to help – not too easy to come by these days!!)

Hi James
I’d like to enter this. Why? Because my site’s different to those of many of your followers, in that it’s not just a blog but offers other services too. Also, I’m not chasing followers for the sake of it, but because I want to drive high-quality traffic to the site so I can sell books, guides and services. And I’m sure you’d enjoy working with Porsches.
Cheers
Phil
Cool concept. It would be cool to have you tweak my site and get my lined up with more nitch folks. How you went from zero to hero so quickly is amazing.

James,
Your creativity is amazing. This is a great contest that I would to win. I struggle with driving Localized traffic to my niche site. My traffic thus far has been consistent but low and not targeted enough.
Whether I win or not I look forward to following along.
Thanks,

Hi James,
This hums on so many levels. It’s brilliant! I can see more than one product out the other side. Is the case study an exclusive deal or can the eventual winner write about the experience from their point of view and package it up too?
.-= Geoff´s last blog ..Mar 21, Just land it =-.
Yeah of course, everything you see and achieve is all yours, everything I do will be packaged up and then sold as a case study etc
James,
I would love to work with you to build Insanely Serene. I’ve achieved a moderate level of success, and would love to boost to the next (or even higher) level. If we work together, I’ll carve out and commit the time necessary and make the investment. I want to reach more readers and help more people find peace of mind.
You are awesome.
Thanks for the chance.
Linda
Hi James, I would absolutely love you to come and work with us at Gorgeous HQ for a couple of weeks. The wealth of experience you have would prove invaluable to us as a fledgling company I am sure.
Please choose Team Gorgeous to work with!!!
(Copious amounts of Tea and Cake provided free of charge!!)

James-
Excellent idea. Since I’m already on your newsletter, I guess I’ve already been entered.
Now the question is why would you pick my website? To be honest, this is a tough one to answer because everyone else on this list produces quality content and I don’t think my site is necessarily better.
BUT, I have an idea… As you know, I’m taking a little trip to Europe. What I could do is swing-by your neck of the woods and spend a few weeks working DIRECTLY with you. Maybe produce a few video/audio case studies to complement anything you’re doing.
The way I figure things, it would be a cool selling point to show us working side-by-side as opposed to two random sites separated by a giant pond.

Hi James,
I will be happy if you could work with me.
Thanks.
Hi, the reason i want you to work with me is that i want to bne one of the youngest most successful entrepreneur in 2010 (at 16 years old).
My website is http://www.dataentryforall.net

Hi James
I’m in. You know the problems I have had with my site, and they continue. I think my site would give you a real challenge, infact I know it would. My traffic chart reads like someone having a heart attack, namely me. (Is this what your doing with your time off?)
Hi James,
I’d love for you to help me take WeBlogBetter to the next level. My history at this site is very unique. I wrote a guest post and the owner was so impressed with what I’d written that he asked if I’d be interested in taking over the site.
It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I so badly don’t want to let him and his hard work go in vain.
In the last 30+ days that I’ve owned the site I’ve managed to increase the subscriber count and Alexa ranking from approx 92,000 to 86,611 (or decrease or whatever…) and I so want to see if I can keep it going in the right direction. Can you please help me?
I know that surely you can help me turn this once in a life time opportunity I’ve gained and create an even greater success story.
I’d love to give you more details about my story, I think it would make this case study even juicier!
.-= Kiesha @ WeBlogBetter´s last blog ..A Step-by-step guide to guest posting =-.
What a great offer! No matter who you select, I will be following along and will do my best to share information on my blog too. My blog is for beginning bloggers who have goals and dreams but are a little bit on the timid side when it comes to stepping out there and pursuing them. Thank you for being such a bright light in the blogging world.
.-= Jean Sarauer´s last blog ..Note to Self: Take Today Off From Blogging for Birthday =-.
I am not entering the contest either, but I feel that what you are doing is solid, awesome and cool. This is what makes you great. You are willing to go out of your way to help others become better. I applaud you for that. This is definitely a step in the right direction.
Hi James,
This is a really cool idea and very giving of you. It will be interesting to see the results.
Good luck to everyone!
Karen
Would love to join the competition. I’m a lump of clay. Site has not yet been launched (a custom-built domain & privately hosted blog) and is currently being positioned with the right content for its future success. Your timing is impeccable.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
S~
So are you just bored James? Do you not have enough to do?
This is a cool offer, you could sell that case study or use it as a marketing tool in your quest for corporate income. A how I helped X blog go from sapling to mighty oak type thing.
Good luck man, I am not entering here, my site is coming along right now, help someone else who needs it more than me.
Cheers
Justin
.-= Justin Matthews´s last blog ..Is that your blog or is your brain leaking? =-.
James, this is a great idea buddy and i’d like to be in it please.
The reason why? Well for starters in our own small way we are trying to make our dents in the universe, secondly we both have a strong desire to help others, but most of all you’d be working with a real (offline) business that’s looking to drive it’s online presence (and ultimately revenues) from being on shore. Plus I’m a really nice guy

.-= Mars Dorian´s last blog ..Why YOUR Brand Changes the World =-.
To be honest I’m not rail roading myself into helping a MMO site or anything really, just going to focus on a site that would make an excellent case study whether it be a brand new site or an established site that has gone cold or even a site that is doing well.
Great idea, looking forward to finding out the results.
Just signed up for the newsletter.
.-= element321´s last blog ..How Add Author Bio to WordPress Without a Plugin =-.
Ok I just signed up for your mailing list. I believe I’m already on it with another email address but ultimately I just check blogs and don’t usually do the email list stuff.
I’m probably missing out on stuff, I know hehe.
Anyway, I would actually like help in growing my Goals blog I’m going to start hitting hard on. I have some great ideas and sharing those with others and having a strong helping hand such as yourself would be a great thing to have on my side.
The site is all about helping people see exactly how they can reach their individual goals and then showing them the steps needed to take in order to get there and helping them along the way too! I want it to go big simply because the bigger it gets means the more people I’m helping achieve their dreams.
Fantastic idea James!
Good luck to EVERYONE in this contest.

Ooops just spotted the twitter link at the bottom so needed to do all this again – soz!
James,
This sounds like a great idea and I would really appreciate your help growing my site.
I have only recently launched the site having worked on it for the last year. I am now in the process of trying to increase traffic and get as many reviews and comments on there as possible. I’m new to the world of websites and so any help at all would be fantastic.

James,
Only started following you today, but this is an excellent, and kind, offer! I am sure I could learn a lot. Our website is the first port of call for our clients and it would be great to get some good conversation and increased user numbers going! Will, of course, match your input
If not, I will endeavour to keep following and interacting.
Kind Regards,
Patrick
Hey Patrick,
