By now everyone knows I’m on a Feedblitz migration kick. My post this week launched a barrage of migrations from Feedburner to Feedblitz, many blog posts about it and even more thinking about how and when and why to do it.
I’ve already been in touch with Phil Hollows, CEO of Feedblitz , to invite him to do a Q&A with me – heck, we may even do a video or podcast? Should I get that crazy with him? I’ll try to address the many troubles readers are concerned with; including me!
Put that aside…here’s the really exciting thing this morning!
Contest Open Now
I got an email from Rebecca Caroe of Creative Agency Secrets. She works directly with Phil Hollows of Feedblitz. As is my duty to do the due diligence, I asked Phil for a vouch. He confirmed that Rebecca is legit, and here’s what’s so cool about that…
Three lucky members of the Soulati-‘TUDE! Community have a chance to win a free tech consulting project to help them migrate their blog(s) from Feedburner to Feedblitz. Rebecca wins because she can fine tune her service offering; you win because you don’t need to experience the headache I did to migrate my blogs to Feedblitz (and still tweaking). So, just in case you don’t get it; Rebecca’s team is going to do your entire migration for you; you need do NOTHING (except the two little thingies below).
Two little caveats when you’re chosen to become the winner:
- Feedblitz offers a free, 30-day trial; a credit card is required to register up front although it won’t be charged for 30 days.
- Logins and passwords need to be shared for both Feedburner and Feedblitz with Rebecca’s team to get the migration complete.
How to Win
I’m going to make this real easy for us all.
- In comments below, add your “Count me in,” and you’ll officially be entered in the contest.
- By Friday 5 p.m. EDT, the contest closes; no more entries.
- I’ll write all the names in an email to my Mom and ask her to pick 3 names off the list. She’ll have no clue because she doesn’t read this blog.
- I’ll announce the winners in comments over the weekend.
- I’ll connect winners with Rebecca on Monday and step out of the way!
Easy Peezie, Lemon Squeezie…I always try to say that when the opportunity is ripe! Heh.
Let the games begin! Remember, contest closes at 5 p.m. EDT Friday this week!
Step three of the contest is my favorite. 🙂
@Erin F. That’s funny…so, you’re in or out, my friend?
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing I can be in, but I don’t think my migration will be too difficult. I only have Write Right. I don’t think I’ll worry about my Tumblr feed. I’d rather let people who have more complex blogs or subscription lists have a first go at winning the contest.
@Erin F. Very sweet of you…who thought my blog would be difficult? I mean it wasn’t, but it’s all the after-migration issues I’m having that plague me. Thanks, Erin.
Right on. I’ve already migrated, but I dig what you’re doing here. 🙂
I guess if you don’t have Feedburner either, there won’t be a lot of migration needed, huh?
I also guess this is something you are ‘supposed’ to have in your arsenal? If that don’t beat all…………
@bdorman264 Uhmm, I think I forgot to mention one thing…this may be just for, uhmm, self-hosted sites?
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing And I lied too; after I responded I googled Feedburner and guess what? I’m signed up, even w/ a .com account…..:).
Will that make me rich now?
@bdorman264 I was talkin’ out my body orifice; I had no idea, but it was a good opportunity to give you, you know, grief. So, you in?
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing I think FeedBlitz you have to be self-hosted……..they just want let anybody in you know……….
Oh, please count me in! I was just on Jason’s saying I was scared to do it because of migration.
@ShakirahDawud I feared you gone forever! Glad you’re back and I could delight you!! Heh. You’re in!
Hey Jayme, you are such a sweetheart. I would say count me in but I have a teeny little blog and I am sure someone else with more than 1 or a business to run from their site might benefit from this more.
@rdopping Honey. Here’s the deal…did you not read that I have no less than 11 subscribers prior to my migration? Do you think I’m a blog Feedblitz cares about? And, this program is for everyone…YOU’RE IN.
Now, where’s that Craig McBreen guy? I’m thinkin’ he needs in, too.
GOOD MORNING!
So, if I give you a call… will you explain all this Feedblitz stuff to me? 🙂
@barrettrossie Ohmy; absolutely…and, I’m not the expert by any stretch! But, happy to share what little I know.
