Win a Signed Copy of Gary Vaynerchuk’s “Crush It!”

The other day I was randomly flipping through channels and stopped on the new Dr. Oz show for a moment, and to my surprise, there was Gary Vaynerchuk. I first met Gary two years ago at the first BlogWorld Expo, and since then he has just exploded and is on TV all the time… I won’t be surprised when I see him on Oprah next!

During my last big contest promotion, I gave away a ton of autographed copies of Gary’s 101 Wines book. With his new “Crush It!” book coming out next month, I thought I would do the same. The book comes out on October 13th, 2009 and is only $13.49 through Amazon, but why not take a shot a winning an autographed copy here for free!

Here’s how. This is very simple to enter, and even more easy to win!

1.) ReTweet this Post on Twitter (Click here to Retweet!)

2.) Leave a Comment on this Post Below

Ten (10) winners will be selected. Five from retweets, and five from comments. To increase your odds, feel free to tweet and post a comment. One comment per person. Winners will be selected and posted on October 13, 2009.

If you’d like to buy Gary’s book in bulk, or take part in the “Crush It! – Experience“, head over to Gary’s page. Depending on how many copies of “Crush It!” you order, you will qualify to receive a wristband, a personalized video, or even a 2 hour face to face dinner and wine with Gary in NYC.

Good luck, and don’t forget to “Crush It!“

AT&T Small Biz Tech Makeover Contest

AT&T has created a new site called “AT&T Small Business InSite“, which brings advice, resources and tools for small business owners. Ever since I got my iphone, it’s been a whole new world with all the applications and how I browse the web. Not to mention I haven’t had any problems with the AT&T service. The addition of AT&T’s Small Business Insite is just another perk.

To celebrate the launch of their new site, AT&T is holding a Small Biz Tech Makeover Contest. This is an excellent opportunity for nearly all of my blog readers, and even myself. We all want to be our own boss, and we all want to make more money. This is a “one winner takes all” type of contest… and here’s what’s up for grabs:

One Grand Prize Winner will Receive:
An AT&T products & services package: 2- Samsung Epix smartphones, 1-year subscription to AT&T Tech Support 360^SM Advanced Service Package; 1-year subscription to AT&T UNIX or Windows Enhanced Web Hosting services; AT&T Web Design service; 1-year subscription to AT&T Unified Messaging; Digital Express Direct Mail Extreme Membership along with the first 500 postcards; AT&T Connect five (5) Integrated Edition Named Hosts Web conferencing.

A one-on-one consultation with a small business expert: Winner will receive a complete business assessment and customized roadmap for success.

Windows^® Small Business Server 2008 Standard from Microsoft.

Here’s HOW to enter:
1.) Simply create a 2 minute video for AT&T, explaining to them why your small business needs a makeover.
2.) Complete the online entry form, then upload your video.

Here’s WHY you should enter:
There are a ton of contests going on all the time, and not many people entering them. Even when it’s as simple as commenting, or just “tweeting” a link… people are still too lazy to enter. This is one of the biggest reasons for you to enter this contest! To enter this contest, you MUST create a short 2 minute video. Remember how I said people are lazy about submitting a link… think about how many are too lazy to create a video!

The next reason why you should enter this contest, is because the prize to work with AT&T is just priceless. You will get some amazing exposure for your business, while receiving a small business technology makeover from AT&T, and the winner will also be featured in a series of short videos featuring their office transformation.

Like I mentioned earlier, this is a great opportunity to take some time and enter a contest that can really boost your business. Take a few minutes, throw a video together and enter the contest. My video entry is below.

Enter the AT&T Small Biz Tech Makeover Contest.

Feel free to post any thoughts, or your video submission in the comments section.

NBA Finals Contest: Magic vs. Lakers

Normally I wouldn’t post about sports, but my favorite NBA team, the Orlando Magic, are in the playoffs once again! It’s only been 15 years since they last (and first time) made the finals, and that was when they had Shaq. Now they have Superman 2.0 in Dwight Howard vs. the Laker’s “Black Mamba”, Kobe Bryant. The Lakers are heavily favored to win, but the Cavs were also heavily favored to destroy the Magic… and guess what happened!

Though I’m from NJ, I’ve always loved the Magic since I started watching basketball in 92, and went to my first game in Orlando in 95, then met Shaq and the whole team at a pub afterwards. I already got a few tickets to see the Magic play the 76ers in the first round, and I’m looking to make it down to Orlando for at least one of their home games during the finals.

I decided to throw together a quick contest for all of you NBA and sports fans out there to participate in. Simply post in the comments section, who you think will win the NBA Finals, in how many games, and the final score of the deciding game.

Your comment entry should look something like the following: (which is my official entry!)
Magic in 6 Games (110-76)

The entry with the closest correct answer, will win an authentic NBA player jersey of their choice, or a custom NBA jersey with your own Name and Number (any team). These run for $199.99 a piece at NBA.com. You may only enter once and must live within US or CANADA.

The deadline for entries is GAME 2, which takes place on June 7th.

NBA Finals Schedule is Below:

- Game 1: Thursday, June 4 – Orlando at L.A. – 9PM ET on ABC
- Game 2: Sunday, June 7 – Orlando at L.A. – 8PM ET on ABC
- Game 3: Tuesday, June 9 – L.A. at Orlando – 9PM ET on ABC
- Game 4: Thursday, June 11 – L.A. at Orlando – 9PM ET on ABC
- Game 5*: Sunday, June 14 – L.A. at Orlando – 8PM ET on ABC
- Game 6*: Tuesday, June 16 – Orlando at L.A. – 9PM ET on ABC
- Game 7*: Thursday, June 18 – Orlando at L.A. – 9PM ET on ABC
