Announcement: Gadget Barnraising!!! Create some gadget pages, win some prizes, earn M$$$!

I am very excited to announce the Mahalo Gadget Barnraising.

Why am I so excited? Well, first because I think that Gadget related products and companies could make the people who manage them a SIGNIFICANT amount of money. Not only is Christmas just around the corner (gadget searches significantly increase as people search for presents), but the Consumer Electronics Show in January makes gadgets newsworthy. Both of these things mean that if we create some really great gadget pages that the people who participate in this contest could make a good number of Mahalo Dollars in the next couple of months!

The people who compose the best gadget pages will be invited to join the Gadget Team. This small group of people will be given the opportunity to create gadget pages as new products are announced and released. I'll be closely helping this group and will be working to ensure that they make as many M$'s possible.

To participate, all anyone has to do is start claiming Tasks labeled "GADGET BARNRAISING".

PRIZES!!!!!

Over M$200 can be won!!!
(That's awesome - thanks Mahalo!)

In addition to automatically managing every valuable gadget page that you create in this barn raising, you can win the following:

First Place: M$60 plus a Mahalo Hat
Second Place: M$50
Third Place: M$30

5 other prizes of M$10 will be awarded RANDOMLY.
Every time you complete a task, your name will be written down on a piece of paper. I will draw the winner live on camera when all 200 tasks are complete. The more tasks you complete, the better your chances are, but EVERYONE who helps us out has a chance at a prize.

NOTES:
Once accepted, each accepted task earns M$3. If you complete 10 tasks, that's M$30! This is really the easiest way to quickly earn money here on Mahalo.

Remember that after your barnraising task is accepted, you are automatically given the page to manage and make money from.

You'll only have 24 hours to complete each task after you claim it!

Only outstanding content will be accepted. We need all of these pages to be accurate, unique (no plagiarism) and interesting. If your submission isn't great, it won't be accepted. This is very important.

Great contest and even better timing. I've been promoting Mahalo as a way for college students to make a little extra money for the holidays. The gadget topics should have good appeal.

M$3 when your page is approved and the residual income for managing the page... plus there are prizes?!? Seems like a good way to earn a wee bit of extra Christmas money to me! :)

I hoped you received my email, Rob. don't know if I typed it in right. I had it memorized but you know that human memory is very fallible. :(

Yeah, I still can't think of any Gadgets, I will look for some on these tech sites I visit sometimes. I already told you my opinion about the barnraising!

I will try to make at least one page, I'm updating my pages and doe sit take a lot of work! I also completed a few tasks. Not to mention friends asking for computer How to's, maybe I should start charging them a certain amount for my How to's too :D (tired)

Even there are about 200 tasks with M$3 per each to be completed, and even the time limit makes this competition more and more competitive, and I think a lot of Mahalo members will try their best here !!! So, GOOD LUCK everyone !! DO YOUR BEST !!

Thank-you!

The asterisks make me curious.

Did you perhaps hear about the game I started in the Mahalo Tutorial this week and are suggesting a term for next week? :-)

I'll help you out, cmajaski!

Send me, @robbrown ANY questions that you have (even a small one that you think might be silly) and I'll answer! If the answer needs a lengthy or complicated answer, I'll even make you a video to show you exactly what you need to know.

Barnraisings are easy after you complete a couple of pages. Anyone who has won a barnraising (I won the first one!) will tell you that the first few tasks you complete take a bit of time but then like magic, things get fast and super easy.

Send me a question and I'll answer!
