Win $10,000 For Your Business Idea

No, not here (though I think we could make you more than that in the long-run), over at IdeaBlob, a new service run strangely enough by a credit card company.  It’s really quite remarkable marketing if you ask me.  Today’s marketing demands participation, and IdeaBlob offers plenty of that with their contest.  You can put your own idea up and if you get the most votes over a month period, you win the $10,000 prize money.  You can also browse the other entries and vote on your favorites or even leave comments for improvement.

For Advanta, the sponsoring company, they get a database of users who are actively trying to start their own projects and who are obviously in the market for credit, as well.   It’s ideas like this that I consider Win/Win, where even a credit card company can come out smelling like roses.  Contests are perfect ways to get people to interact with your company in a positive way.

If you have an idea, put it to the test.  You never know, other people may think it’s just as great as you do.  How would you get your idea started if you had $10,000 to commit to it?

I know what I’d do.  Check out my web incubator idea and give me a thumbs up if you like it.
