The Left Thumb Blogger Turns Pro
For the past several months I have been vying for the opportunity to be paid to Blog for a Year. I would like to thank everyone who has voted for me. Your support has been overwhelming and touching.
I’d like to acknowledge the following people for posting on their blogs about the contest. By no means is this an exhaustive list, so please do not feel slightly in the least if I missed including you. I do appreciate all that you have done.
- Nancy at eSight
- Regina Baker
- Joanna Young – I was touched that she tried typing with her left thumb
- Becky McCray
- Doug McCaughan
- Chris Brogan
- Dr. Mani
- Mama Terapeuta
- Des Walsh
- S.R. Emerson
- Heather
- Karla Meachem
- Liz Strauss
- Karen Putz
- Connie Reece
I also would like to thank my Fan Club and countless others who posted on forums and sent out emails to the masses. You’re awesome and I’m already a winner thanks to all of you! Seriously.
The votes are in and tallied:
- In third place, with 11,752 votes, is moi!
- In second place, with 18,252 votes, is Melanie in Orygun
- And the winner, with 18,951 votes, is Absolutely True. Congratulations!
It was a great experience and I learned a lot about using social media for this purpose. (Hillary, Obama, contact me! It’s not too late.)
However, Absolutely True isn’t the only one to be offered a blogging contract. In December I was offered a contract to blog 1-3 posts per week at Disaboom. I joined the problogging league last week! Hope you’ll join me there. I will also continue blogging here, giving my thumb a thorough workout!
If you enjoyed this post, consider buying me a chai tea latte. Thanks kindly.
