I hadn’t finished enjoying my last contest where I won second prize of $250 and guess what, I have won another one. And this time it is for the FIRST place.

If you read my previous posts, then you may know that I shared that I have participated in another (my second) online blogging contest over Blog Engage. My contest entry was How did I get 380+ comments on my first guest post?, that first guest post has got 400 comments now. I got 423 comments on this one and still counting. The post has been chosen as the winning post.

I have got the first prize in that contest. There were many participants. All were awesome and really competitive. Here is the list of all the winners.

[stextbox id=”info”]

#1. In first place ($250 USD) – Abhi Balani with How did I get 380+ comments on my first guest post?

#2. In second, ($150 USD) is Dragon Blogger with Should You Give Up on Blog Commenting?

Here is the official announcement: The 2012 $650 USD Guest Blogging Contest #2 Winners

I would like to thank each and every friend, Twitter follower or Facebook fan, and whoever helped me in this contest even if it was just a single like, comment, tweet or whatever. This could not have been possible without the help of all of them.

Blog Engage will be up with the next contest of $650 in a few days. Maybe, tomorrow. And at the end of the year, the final contest will be of $1000. So, get ready to participate. Don’t worry the WINNER is having rest here. Hehe.. And not participating in any contest. BUT… only Blog Engage members can participate in Blog Engage’s Guest Blogging Contests and these contest are going to be hosted the whole year, one after another.

    Congratulations!!!! I am so proud of you. It is amazing to see how you have gone from a serious newbie to a big time blogging mentor now. You are showing people how to rock the blogosphere by promotings, commenting, engaging, and most of all – by providing VALUE!! You’re awesome and you will go even further with your videos and design work too. All the best to you. Cheers!

      You know what, you actually don’t know, how much this of your comment matters to me, maybe more than winning a contest. I’m so glad that YOU, yes, Ileane Smith is proud of me.

      And yes, I did leave that newbie tag when I just entered in the first contest.

      Thanks a lot for all your appreciation. I’m more happy now, after your comment.

I just put my new article for the next one into BE (saved as draft and ready to go live as soon as brian officially announces it…) Even got my “qualifying post” on my blog all set up and ready. Just gotta paste in the sponsor links and publish.

    Abhi,

    I am so happy for you! You deserve it with all the hard work you put in.

    But so sorry to hear about your phone. 🙁 I know my phone ranks pretty high in valuables I own that go in my purse and would be LOST without. I hope you can get a new one for a good price.

    I haven’t been here in a while, nice, fresh banner. With the winnings from the last contest I am getting a new banner done for me. 🙂

      And yes, I think I should write an eBook for my strategies.
