It’s been a long week of spoof posting here at theNetFool.com. I’ve ripped on many of the familiar faces in our niche, and definitely put in my hard time to making effective videos that had tasteful humor and relevant slams. I know that I brought a lot of attention to The Net Fool by doing so, and many people have given some powerful feedback. After a long sabbatical (of sorts), it looks like Jim is back in the game, eh? :lol:

I had a lot of fun researching different blogs to a greater extent than I have done before to pull out all of their worst material, in order to highlight it on a bigger stage. One thing I have learned is that a spoof video can serve as a powerful bit of link bait to draw extraordinary amounts of traffic to your website or blog. Because of this, I think that it’s time to turn the tables around and offer you guys a chance to put out your own spoof video on Jim (that’s me) from theNetFool.com!

The Stakes Are High

Understanding that a few of you might jump at the chance to mock me without consequence, I wanted to provide an incentive for the rest of you to get out your digital cameras, your webcams or whatever you are working with… and record a one-to-five minute video on your own blog. That’s right, I’m giving away a $25 Visa Giftcard! :D This is a prepaid card that I can have delivered to you over the internet, or sent to your mailbox at home… the choice is yours. Sounds like something worth playing for?

In addition to the grand prize, I am going to ensure that anyone who puts up their own spoof video of The Net Fool goes home happy. That’s right, you will get a free copy of my $15 eBook “Work Smart, Get Rich!” just for submitting a video! Crazy? I think so.

Rules and Regulations

Everyone wants to do this in as fair a manner as possible, so I am going to stipulate exactly what will be required to get your entry sent in and eligible for a prize in The Net Fool’s Spoof Video Contest. First and foremost, I don’t want any last-minute ten second videos sent in. This is why I have made the minimum video length to be 1 MINUTE. You can make it as long as you want, but the upper boundary that I recommend you keep under is 5 minutes. Remember, this needs to be in it’s own spoof blog post, not just a video all by itself (that’s no fun!).

I will be judging the “best” video solely on a basis of personal opinion. If you are funny and creative, you probably have a good chance at winning! I don’t want to mess around with drawing systems… because I feel that whoever puts in the most work deserves to walk away with a nice $25 in spending cash for the holiday season (assuming, of course, that there are multiple entries and something for me to “judge,” haha). Or, at bare minimum, a nice way to MAKE some  spending cash with my eBook. :razz:

In terms of the actual post, there needs to be a link back to my blog somewhere on the post itself for tracking purposes. You will get bonus points if you link to my site using the anchor text “make money online” and point it to “http://www.thenetfool.com/make-money-online/”. But this is not required specifically and won’t “hurt” you in the judging. Oh and one final thing: please be an email subscriber on my blog so you can get credit for winning.

The Net Fool’s Spoof Video Contest – A Recap

Okay, so this contest is pretty straight forward. I will run this until 11:59pm on December 5th. So, once the clock hits midnight and things change to Dec. 6th… you are too late! But don’t worry about that, the sooner you get it in, the more press you will receive from my readers seeing your best stuff. The winning video will receive the $25 gift card and will also be featured in a winners post here at theNetFool.com… how cool is that?!

No restrictions on the video-upload website that you choose (I recommend Viddler.com), and don’t forget that link back to my website to get your credit. In addition, you can comment with a link to your video spoof post in my comment box for the world to see.

Good luck!
-The Net Fool
