I am always curious to know what my readers really want from me. I always try my best to provide it (within reason).
Today is no different and its time to find out what you all really want to know! Below I have provided a couple of new ideas that I am willing to do to IBB for you all and its up-to you all to decide which you want most!
Video Casts – I have really been slacking off the video casts because video at this point is kind of hard to monetize for cold hard cash but if its what you all want then I could start doing more video posts?
Contests - I know my readers love contests, and I thought we could start running more contests but doing them for shorter periods of time, perhaps something like contests like 2 weeks long.
Free WordPress Themes & Premium – I was thinking about giving out some free word-press themes as well as selling licenses of my main themes for $19.95 each.
Free Domains With Web Hosting Purchase- I thought about starting a web-hosting deal where if you signup to hostgator with my affiliate link I give you a free-domain in return?
Pick one and comment below with why you think it should be that one, let me know guys!

I would prefer to see more Video Casts from you. Perhaps something that helps us to make money online, sometimes video can be easier to be read compare to article, at least easy to understand.

@Make Money Doing Online Surveys, Of course you’re right about video-casting
So, if “video-casting” isn’t the right term – what is?And what’s your issue with RSS2.0?
@Make Money Doing Online Surveys, I think this one is a great idea.
@Free Credit Card Reports,
It’s definitely a great idea! I love video-casting, at least it’s not as bored as reading article.
I’ve been a recent reader to your blog about 2 months now, so I haven’t read all of your posts yet, but I’ve read a good portion of them. I definiltely would agree on more videos, those are always fun. But yeah the bad part is it is hard to monetize them. What I would suggest is to transcribe the videos into words, as that would help with Google, etc. As far as video topics, I would suggest videos about what is working for you and your other websites as far as driving traffic to them.
Till then,
Jean
I would actually prefer text articles as I like reading rss feeds while at work (*lol*) and since video will require sound that is not optimal
Other than that I think contests would be a great idea. I’d be willing to sponsor a price now and then in return for some linklove or traffic
/Mikael
@Mikael @ Retire Rich, That is why I suggested transcribing the videos along with the video. That would please the search engines, and also people who prefer to read the article as opposed to seing it visually. Kinda of hitting alot of birds with one stone, lol.
Till then,
Jean
@Jean, then I’m with you. As long as I have something to read
/Mikael
BTW, it looks like you have two different “notify me of follow-up comments via e-mail” boxes added. One is spelled with “followup” and the other with “follow-up”.
Just thought you should know.
/Mikael
I say do a video about your contest where you’ll give away free wordpress themes and the free domain with hosting haha that way you have it all covered
@Jake, i sent in my video about two months ago and i know the casting directors are still going to cities but i was just wondering if anyone else has applied by mail and know anything? how long i should keep up my pathetic hopes of getting a call back. is two months too long?
Just more content in general. I like your posts but they are too few and far between. (Do as I say, not as I do!)
@Susan, I would prefer more content as well. I enjoy reading your posts.
@Susan,
Glad to see you here Susan. You are right on your statement.
@Susan, I agree with you too. Seems that Shannon doesn’t update his blog too often. Anyway, I’m still enjoy reading your blog Shannon!
actually… I prefer cash $$ than domain or hosting. Oh ya, if you have contest, can I be your sponsor? I can give domain PR 1 analystsistem.com and informationgame.info
@Brillie,
I prefer cash $$ too! I would like to be the contest sponsor too, I may want to give out some cash via paypal. Do let me know if anyone need sponsor for your blog contest!
Regards,
Lee
@Make Money Doing Online Surveys, are you allowed to give cash about as an incentive if you are an affiliate?
@paul,
Why not? It’s good to promote our blog or business, I believe that’s a worth investment.

Lee

Its great to hear that you are so careful and bringing them much closer by asking such thing. It is really admirable. Keep it up!
It’s a good thing that you’re asking about we want. I’d say video casts, especially on internet marketing.
@Internet Marketing Tips, Maybe some affiliate marketing video casts.
@Internet Marketing Tips,
Affiliate tips and tricks as well.
I suggested transcribing the videos along with the video. That would please the search engines, and also people who prefer to read the article as opposed to seing it visually. Kinda of hitting alot of birds with one stone.
@Camera, My friend used to get his transcribed, yet in the end he said it was too much time and not that many people payed attention to them.
As blogging has increased, it is natural to see that the demand for more unique blog appearances has grown. And, because most bloggers have little if any experience in website design, the demand for variety in an affordable theme has skyrocketed
I would love to participate in contests! Feeling obliged for your care.
@web outsourcing,
Owner had a blog contest running right now, you could join it now too!
I prefer contest because some one might be lucky to win something.
@How to learn SEO, it seems like everyone wants a contest.
@How to learn SEO,
Contest is a great idea.!
I need a new theme so how about some awesome free WordPress themes.
@paul, That’s a good idea Paul, perhaps Shannon should create a wordpress theme of his own and have a link to his website at the bottom and get some extra seo juice as a result =D
Till then,
Jean
Some cash contests would be cool too.
@Earn Money Writing,
I agree with you too! I love cash contest by just doing “Follow Twitter & Retweet message”. That’s the easiest and fastest contest, this is what I like too.

Lee
I GOT LOTS OF INFO BOUT THE MONEY MAKING IDEAS & IT IS A VERY EXCELLENT CONTENT!THIS POST WILL DEFINITELY HELP FOR THE NEW ENTREPRENEURS !
We want a contest
Obviously, everyone would like a contest. But I hope for some nice prizes.
For text article..
Ex. 1 – If author’s name provided
Nanotubes have a very broad range of electonic, thermal, and structural properties that change depending on the different kinds of nanotube (Adams)
Ex. 2 – If author’s name not provided
Nanotubes have a very broad range of electonic, thermal, and structural properties that change depending on the different kinds of nanotube (Physical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes)
In-text citation is just to help readers to find the entry in bibliography or the work cited.
Actually I would prefer all these (video casting, contests, free wordpress themes & premiumFree domains with web hosting purchase). I don’t want to make a choice among such nice proposal.
I have a one web site where the Word press theme was causing too many problems, it was old, and not worth hacking and fixing anymore. I have too many web sites and way too much to do to create a new theme from scratch. So I went theme shopping, and within 10 minutes I found one that really impressed me.
In case you decide to go for the HostGator option, make sure to check if they allow their affiliates to offer incentives.
This is a good opportunity if we want to start online business but don’t have enough capitals. We can use this free hosting service to gain some initial money that can be used later on to pay for more advanced hosting plan.
@bingo play live, First, rest assured that free web hosting is very real, and you can host a website without paying any money. However, that doesn’t mean that you will receive the same features and services offered to paying web hosting companies. Unfortunately, by saving money with free hosting, you sacrifice control, reliability, and quality.
Hello, I am looking to start up a product based ecommerce website. Does anyone know of any good FREE wordpress ecommerce themes?
@Alien talk, Big-G is our best friend, simply type the keyword in Google search engine and I’m sure you’ll get tons of results for it.
My choice is contest. I like contest & it is always a nice feeling to beat someone & win some handy price.
@Catering Sydney, Contest with money as the price.
I prefer for contests i hope u need run some contests …And Video casts is my second preference.
Your blog is really nice! Nearly all of the blog posts are written with full concentration and withiout going off-topic. I appreciate your time and efforts spent on this blog. The language sounds interactive, which is essential for blogging.
Videos are always harder to monetize but it’s actually a lot easier for you to market something in the internet through video.
I would like a video about your contest where you’ll give away free wordpress themes and the free domain with hosting
Free domains will always be a big savings for the others so in my opinion, this is a good option.
@Simon Wilby,
Most of us have a domain already, unless that’s a premium domain. I still prefer a cash contest.
Regards,
Lee
Although it is too difficult for me to make one choice among these four valuable option rather i personally prefer the contest. As it creates some interesting environment for your visitor on the blog.
@Camper Trailers Brisbane,
I strongly agree with you. I think that contest is one of the most popular way to promote our blog and get more people to read our blog.
Anything that is for free.
Freebies and alike always attract visitors.
Contests are always nice! Wouldn’t mind having some of those. But that’d obviously mean you’d need to give away some prizes so I’m aware that it won’t happen very often.
I want a bag of money.
@Paul, I think every one want a bag of money.
@facelift,
lol..you just wan a bag of money..i do like to have many many bags of money..:D

Lee
@Paul, easy money is not possible …
the reason i comment is to earn one backlink that might make SE happy so they can bring me some traffic and hopefully can convert to penny ….
I need lot of penny to make a bag of Money …

The free ones are always the best performing I reckon.. However they are all good link bait strategies..
I personally prefer the contest. As it creates some interesting environment for your visitor on the blog.
@facelift, It also creates money.
What I would suggest is to transcribe the videos into words, as that would help with Google, etc. As far as video topics, I would suggest videos about what is working for you and your other websites as far as driving traffic to them.
