So far, i’ve raised $174 out of $1000 for my charity skydive. Whilst i’m sure that’s $174 more than what some of you thought i would get 
i think there’s room for improvement.
What i need now is just pure exposure to get traffic in and get eyes on the competition. So what i’m going to do is open up more FREE ways of gaining entry in to the competition and review the current rules so here are the updated contest rules (anyone already entered will have their entries adjusted accordingly);
- Comment on this post = 10 entries
- Blog about this competition = 30 entries
- Donate a cash amount above $1 = 100 entries
- Do all 3 = 200 entries
In total, there are over 35 prizes valued at over $2500 including;
4 x $50 Cash (Value = $200)
- $100 (2 x $50) sponsored by me.
- $50 sponsored by Collin Lahay.

To spice things up a bit, i’m going to be 100% transparent and draw up a full list of entrants and the amount of entries each person has. Basically a huge database in which you’ll be assigned your ‘lucky numbers’.
I’ll make that available to you guys on October 1st and then on October 2nd i’ll make a screencast of myself using random.org to choose the winners.
That ensures everything is 100% transparent and all of the prizes and winners are genuine – i can’t do much more than that. Some people have suggested that people who don’t know me may think winners could be rigged etc… to save me cash or gain friends and i hear that. So in response, i’m going to be as open as i can 
For those of you who don’t know me, rest assured the prizes are legit, the winners will be legit and any ‘profits’ are all going to Charity, every single cent To cap it all off you’ll be helping to push me out of a plane at 10,000 feet – so what are you waiting for? Comment or blog or donate cash NOW

Great idea about the random number generator, hope this brings in some more $ for you
What about the guys who have already contributed?
@rummuser: those guys entries will be adjusted to suit… i.e. if you’ve already donated cash, you’ll get 100 entries
Commented.
I’m just waiting to get paid for some stuff I sold on ebay, so I’ll donate something before the weekend
