Now that Linky Tools is launched, I’m going to begin a regular series of “blogging” posts where I’ll ask you to participate. Why?
- The collective knowledge of 10,000 (and growing fast) Linky Tools users can help us all have much better blogs.
- I’ll pick a WINNER of each participatory event and invite them to post their winning information on this blog for everyone else to see which will result in a lot of new traffic for them. I’ll publish your post in SeriousLife Magazine. You win, I win, Linky Tools wins… we all win.
Why should you participate? There are almost 10,000 Linky Tools users, growing over 1000 a month. SeriousLife Magazine has had issues get more than ONE MILLION page views. The holy grail of blogging is MORE TRAFFIC, NEW READERS. Do I need to explain further?
Why photo improvement? The purpose of photo improvement contests is obvious. Photos are a POWERFUL part of having an interesting, popular and memorable blog. These photo contests will give you LOTS of examples and tips on how to improve photos, AND give you a chance for some great exposure for your blog.
Let’s start with a Photo Improvement contest/demonstration (rules and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post below the Thumbnail Linky). Here’s the photo for this contest:
Here’s the Thumbnail Linky for this contest:
- Save the original contest photo above to your local computer (right click on the image and SAVE AS).
- Take the photo and do your photo enhancements, improvements, stylizing, WHATEVER… there are NO RULES. The point is to take an average photo and turn into a great blog photo however you choose.
- Put your new improved photo into a blog post on your blog with any comments, instructions or notes about how you did the improvement
- Come here, and enter your blog post into the Thumbnail Linky below.
- In two days, I’ll choose 1-3 “winners” and you’ll be invited to write a post on this blog telling us in detail what you did to your photo, and giving you an opportunity to tell our readership about your blog. I’ll also include your blog post in the next issue of SeriousLife Magazine.

Very cool!
Hi Brent.
Thank you for the opportunity to play with your photo. It looks like a wonderful family memory, and what fun that you now have so many versions of your photo.
I love the impact a well edited photo makes.
This is my first time doing any sort of editing contest! Enjoy!
