I’ve Won the Preliminary Round of the Bloggywood Squares Game Show Webinar

I’m very proud and excited to announce that this is the greatest achievement that I have ever accomplished as a blogger so far…

I’ve WON the 1st round of BLOGGYWOOD SQUARES
Online Game Show!!

… this also happens to be my first experience to ever participate in a webinar as well as online contest.

I would like to say a BIG and HUGE thank you to the sponsor, Beyond Blogging and the awesome hosts, namely: Nathan Hangen, Mike-Cliffe Jones, Jordan Cooper for organizing Bloggywood Squares and chose me as a contestant; and also to the special guest of the day, David Risley.

Since the webinar session is hosted in the US and is online at 7pm, been living in the other side of the world, 12 hours difference, I have to get myself to sleep earlier so I could wake up early in the morning to participate in this FREE webinar.

Yes, you heard me, a FREE webinar plus a chance to be chosen as a contestant for the game show!!

In this one hour webinar, I have learned a lot of valuable lessons on blogging, ranging from marketing to technical advices. I have also learned a new term today, affiliate link cloaking – basically hiding or cloaking your original affiliate link to prevent theft.

Very useful TIPS
Like any other seminar or webinar, you need to get yourself prepared mentally and most importantly, get your “recording” tools prepared. I would like to stress the issue because I didn’t prepared well before the webinar start, thus, losing some valuable information. Basically, you just can’t rely on your brain to help you memorize everything.
I would highly recommend you these useful tools:
Pen and paper
This is the most basic and most important recording tools. The paper will act as your memory. So before the webinar starts, make sure you have your pen and papers prepared.
Audacity
Audacity is a free audio recorder and editor where you can record live audio during the webinar. Start recording before the webinar starts and you won't miss a single conversation for the whole course.
CamStudio
Not satisfied with audios only? CamStudio, another free software, is able to record all screen and audio activities on your computer. Start recording before the webinar starts and you won't miss a single conversation and activities for the whole course.
Print Screen and Paint
You might have heard of this before, the PRINT SCREEN key allows you to capture an image of the entire screen – what you see is what you get. Open the Paint application and paste it. Now you’ll have an image of the activity during the webinar.
You might have been wondering what I’ve won in the preliminary round. Honestly, I only remembered one out of four – Linchpin by Seth Gordin. That is the reason why I highly recommended you to get your recording tools well prepared before the webinar. By the way, I’ve also qualified myself to participate in the Grand Finale.

Wish me luck for the Grand Finale!

stadiumASTRO World Cup Fantasy

Despite in the amidst of preparation for final exam, my attention and focus are mainly on the South Africa FIFA World Cup 2010. On top of that, since I can’t engage in sporting activities yet due to my ankle injury, the only way to satisfy my crave on football is by playing FIFA Manager 10 and other virtual football related activities.

And for the first time in my life, caused by the excitement of the World Cup and also the attractive prizes awaits, I gave online football fantasy a try. Though there are tons of World Cup fantasy league out there, I chose to participate in a contest which are from my homeland, the stadiumASTRO Fantasy – a contest organized by MAXIS and ASTRO. In conjunction with this contest, Sarawak Bloggers host their very own Fantasy League Contest, the Sarawak Bloggers World Cup Fantasy League Challenge. But this contest is only for registered Sarawak Bloggers members and entries are already closed.

But don’t get disheartened, you still have the chance to join the stadiumASTRO Fantasy Contest and stand a chance to win attractive prizes which includes a 40” LCD TV, a Sony VAIO Laptop, Blackberry Bold 2, an iPhone and also meet up with Lionel Messi in Barcelona or Frank Lampard in London.
