Of course, running a blog competition is not as simple as posting what you want people to do. If it can travel through already established relationships, make it something that travels via Facebook. If your blog is about PHP coding, for instance, naturally you’d use it to promote your book on PHP or programming service.

Maybe you value the ability to travel. I know many people who love to travel and leap on any chance to visit new places. Or downtime with a good book. That blog post might earn you a new book to read in peace. So what does turn your crank? What do you value? I know other people who love fancy restaurant meals.
