			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Rules</em>:</p>
<p><strong>The contest starts today, July 16th 2009 and will last until August 16th. In order to win the Gran Prize you MUST have a PayPal account as this is the only way a winner will get paid. I will choose the winners at the end of the contest as I think it makes more sense to nominate people who will spend their time for a quality blog post/entry rather than using any random method for selecting the winners.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am usually shopping online for finding bargains and I have recently discovered a great site where you can set a target price and ask to be notified when the price falls by a certain percentage. The site is super easy to navigate as it has modern web 2.0 look, here is the name: ZingSale.com. I am not advertising the site, so you have to cut and paste the link:). And one more e-tailer that help you saving an average of 40% on each purchase from Bloomingdale&#8217;s - ShopItToMe.com. You can enter your size and favorite brands and start receiving notifications when these items are available. One more site grabbed my attention this week  - PaySimple.com - that suppose to become a great alternative to PayPal. I will keep my fingers crossed (and thousands of other online enterpreneurs) for these guys. Looks like they have been able to survive the first 3 years, and hopefully they will continue to expand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, everyone</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve just seen how a typical TV commercial was shooting for a local chiropractic office: a bunch of actors who actually never used the service were trying to convince people that &#8220;their life has been changed since&#8221;::)). I was actually impressed, no kidding. If they are still spending money on commercials like &#8220;call now and you&#8217;ll get a free consultation&#8221;, it means they know for sure it&#8217;s gonna work. So, the magic words that still influence people and make you rich are &#8220;free&#8221;, &#8220;call now&#8221; and &#8220;great&#8221;. It&#8217;s that simple. And you can repeat them many times::)).</p>
<p>I was always looking for fresh ideas and admire people who can come up with a really new idea or a way that would greatly improve something that is already on the market. And the best way for meeting such people&#8230;is by attending SEO and marketing events. In fact, I was very lucky to meet very interesting and extraordinary people a few years ago in Atlanta, GA. And then the Affiliate Marketing Event in Las Vegas was also unforgettable. Besides the great information, tips and tricks that online gurus brought up during these events, I had a chance to get connected to the most popular online marketers. And this is priceless. I didn&#8217;t attend any conferences this year as, to be honest, it&#8217;s quite expensive if you have to pay for air tickets, hotel and a ticket itself. But! I hope to win the Grand Prize to <a title="social summit" href="http://www.socialmediasummit09.com/" target="_blank">Social Media Success Summit</a>, that includes a consultation with Michael Stelzner (wow!) and &#8220;a site-critique&#8221; by Chris Garrett! <strong>I feel like I definitely need one as Wagg.it community is growing and I have to come up with new interface and more new features that would benefit the community.I have to note that this summit is different: YOU DON&#8217;T HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE and you will attend sessions and meet the experts (Darren Rowse will be one of them, did you hear it, bloggers?) from the comfort of your home or office. In other words, it will be a live event</strong><strong>!!! The instructors will be presenting their sessions in real time, right on your computer screen, and if you miss a live session, you will be provided a free recording and transcript. Take a look at the instructors, these are best of the best online marketers</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Chris Garrett</li>
<li>Darren Rowse</li>
<li>Mari Smith</li>
<li>Gary Vaynerchuk</li>
<li>Jason Alba</li>
<li>Ann Handley</li>
<li>Brian Clark</li>
</ul>
<p>This is going to be a first ONLINE summit that is designed to help marketers and online enterpreneurs like you achieve social media success and benefit from social media!</p>
