A catch phrase will go here soon.

Free Apple Air laptops contest

1/18/2008

I’ve ordered two Apple MacBook Air laptops to give away at Mahalo in some type of a contest. Looking for ideas of how to give away the laptops that generate MORE value for Mahalo then the actual ~$2,000 in cost associate with the laptop.

Some of the (obvious) key metrics we follow at Mahalo are:

1. Number of search pages created
2. Number of people signing up for Mahalo (i.e. registered users)
3. Number of user links submitted and added to Mahalo
4. Number of links *accepted* to Mahalo pages
5. Pageviews
6. Unique visitors
7. How To articles created

Does anyone have any ideas!??!

    use the “pay it forward” method:

    Maybe you can reply to those of us who leave comments via email provided and respond by asking us to contact 3 other people to be directed to your website. Of course,there has to be an incentive. Could you possibly offer something small such as a free song download, or provide a contest of who has the best user pic–just a little incentive that would make them want to subscribe.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
