Help a Brother Out!

[ebbs]

Hey guys, sorry if this seems random, but I spend most of my time on the forum trolling the TRADING POST thread so I don't branch out a whole lot in the other areas.

I'm working on getting a freelance writing gig with gunnuts.net with Caleb Giddings (http://gunnuts.net/team-gun-nuts)(Top Shot Season 1 shooter). I'll keep doing the Haus of Guns thing but this position actually pays per post.

Anyone I made the final 4 out of 300 applicants and am basically in a "write-off" with the other 3 finalists for most pageviews, comments, and attention on the site for the WHOLE WEEK. We're allowed to promote our article however we choose so along with the social media avenues I've created a giveaway on Haus of Guns for an all new CRKT Foresight by Ken Onion (http://www.crkt.com/Foresight-Folding-Knife). It's a SLICK BLADE!

Here's the link that lays everything out. IF y'all have the time I sure would appreciate the bump.

Why don't you just buy views like every other commercial blogger does. Its stupid cheap to get a couple hundred thousand impressions.

[Whistler]

"HOW TO HELP: (IN ORDER!)
Go to my post on Gun Nuts, comment, argue, tell me how stupid I am, etc. NOTE, please make this a REAL comment. Well thought, showing you’ve read the post. Comments like, “Nice” or “Good job” will be immediately discredited.
Go “LIKE” Gun Nuts Facebook page AND comment that Ebbs from H.o.G. sent you.
Go “LIKE” H.o.G. Facebook if you haven’t already, then “SHARE” the status with this link in it and do the same on Twitter if you’re on it.
Come back to THIS POST and comment that you’ve done all of the above. If you’re not on Facebook, then I need you to come up with some creative middle ground for spreading the news whether it be spamming your email forward list or enlisting the help of Mike Tyson and his homing pigeons. The wife will be hawking the comments this week so everyone with a comment on this post stating they’ve done all of the above better be able to prove it!
SHARE, SHARE, SHARE. See why under “THE CATCH” below. Feel free to share via any relational or social media outlet you should so choose. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Klout, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon or the aforementioned homing pigeon."

Seriously? I don't think my first divorce required this much effort on my part.

Best of luck. [Beer]

You know i'm there for you , BUT FB????? Don't even have a clue what it's about. Any other way to vote for you?

[Beprepared]

I get on FB about twice a year, but really guys its not that hard to help a brother out.
Btw- great read Ebbs, blows those other fluff pieces away.

[BPTactical]

What's "Facebook"???

Thanks for the big time props...

FWIW guys if you don't have FB it's not a big deal. I accept all sorts of creativity. One reason my stipulations seem like such a pain in the butt (RAY!) is because I want to make sure I have quality conversation on my post and not just, "Here" or "Got it" or "Nice Job" and not contribute to the discussion at all.

Turns out Tim (ironically the other Hi Point post) got ToddG from Pistol-Training.com to throw down a blurb for him and he surged way ahead today. Rebecca who wrote the chic-hipster urban shooter piece is co-owner of PHLster Holsters (a conflict of interest it seems but I'm not in charge) and they're giving away a holster and mag carrier for anyone who comments. The other girl, Tracie is the editor-in-chief of a Jackson, TN paper and apparently has all kinds of local support.

Again, just putting things out there. Please don't feel obligated. I can definitely use the extra support/traffic from anywhere it may come. I've only been in CO for 3 years and the AR-15.co forum has been a tremendous asset to HoG in getting supporters early on.

I'll shut up now. [ROFL1]

Hopefully you win, definitely a good piece you wrote. Hopefully my comment will help you surge ahead![Beer]

Thanks for the kind words. What was the name you wrote it under? The running just ended at 6pm so I should know shortly what the final word is.

[trlcavscout]

I helped you out. Wasnt that hard.

Really appreciate it my friend!

Hey guys, didn't get the writing gig with Gun Nuts. But I wanted to stop in and say THANKS! to all of you who managed to make it over to the site and give your $0.02 for me. It means a lot. Because of the mad support, I'm still going to be doing the drawing for the CRKT Foresight by Ken Onion later today.

[UncleDave]

Done and done.
