Run your own competition
Running your own competition can be hugely successful. Be it just for fun, or for promoting your blog or product. You don’t always have to give money, but if it is not money it should be something that people would want to have (free links, reviews, books, web design service…etc)

In my case, my free backlink competition is working great. It’s already showing results but I will blog about it in detail in the future.

P.S. Feel free to put your competitions in the comments.
