Land Feasibility / Development Report Giveaway
One lucky person will win a $4,500 Site Evaluation Report for free.
That’s right. If you win the FREE Site Evaluation Report, myself and my partners will go through the due diligence checklist, conduct research, and create a due diligence report for a property of your choosing. And we will do it at no charge. Completely free.
Win a report for you project that looks like the free Site Evaluation Report we give away on the website. (Our clients pay us several thousands dollars to tens of thousands of dollars to perform Land Development Evaluations on their projects, so this is a pretty valuable grand prize. On average I would say this prize is worth $4,500)
Why am I doing this? Well, the other day I received an email from a member of the site saying,
“Property Development Source is the best land development resource on the web that nobody knows about – you should run a contest or something to get the word out.”
And I agree. So I am giving away thousands of dollars worth of our services in the form of a Site Evaluation Report as the grand prize in order to spread the news about our website.
But I am not going to stop there. I am also going to give away a runner up prize - an hour of my time. That hour can be spent on the phone with me answering questions or strategizing, doing research for you, or simply providing feedback on a project you are working on – it is up to you.
The way to enter for a chance to win a $4,500 Site Evaluation Report is simple. Nearly every blog post on our website has two little buttons down at the bottom of the article (Share This & Bookmark.) Those buttons allow you the reader to “social bookmark” a post to any of the major bookmarking and social websites.
Social bookmarking is a great way to get the word out about Property Development Source.com
So all you need to do to enter the contest is pick your favorite blog post or video on the website and use one of those buttons at the bottom to “bookmark” the post. Doesn’t matter what bookmarking or social site you use, just make sure you give the bookmark a proper title, description, and tags where possible.
Once you have done that simply send an email to bart@propertydevelopmentsource.com with subject heading: contest entry. In the body of the email tell me which blog post you submitted, what bookmarking or social site you submitted it to, and what your username is on that bookmarking or social site. (This will allow me to verify your entry.)
That is it. It’s that simple, takes less than 10 seconds, and your done. Should be fun.
Enter multiple times: For each blog post you bookmark and each social website you use, you can submit a new contest entry. (Limit 10 entries per person.)
To find out how you can get an additional 90 entries into the contest to win a $4,500 Due Diligence Report, please see the FAQ below.

Otherwise, go to your favorite blog post now and start entering the contest! Good Luck.

F.A.Q.
.
What if I try submitting a blog post to a social site and the post has already been submitted?
Most social bookmarking sites allow you to “digg” or “vote” for a post that is already submitted. Simply vote for the existing submission and send me an email telling me about and you will be entered. No problem.
How many times can I enter?
You are allowed to enter the contest by social bookmarking blog posts up to ten times to increase your odds of winning the grand prize. (But there are other ways to enter as well.)
What are the other ways to enter?
1) a few of the videos on PropertyDevelopmentSource.com can be found on video websites like revver.com, livevideo.com, and Google Video and youtube. Go to those video websites and social bookmark the PropertyDevelopmentSource videos you find there. Send me an email just like you would do above and explain what you have done and it will be another contest entry (Limit 10)
2) If you have a website you can get 10 contest entries in one easy step. Simply write at least a 3 line description about PropertyDevelopmentSource.com on your website and include a link to our site in the description. (Links can be to the main web url or to a particular blog post – it doesn’t matter they just need to be working links and can’t be “no follow”.) Send an email to bart@propertydevelopmentsource.com with the subject heading: contest entry and give the url of where the link is located and your done. 10 chances to win will be yours.
When does the contest end?
I will draw the winners on my birthday, April 2nd and announce the winners the next day.
I don’t have a project right now, how long do I have to use the prize?
You can claim your prize at any time in 2008. Simply send us the property description by December 31, 2008 and we will get started on your report.
