Bruce, send me your PayPal information to justindupre @ blogosis.com so I can send you about 90 bucks. You win! I believe Andrew Messer is also giving you a 125 x 125 advertisement spot on his blog as well, so I will hook you two up.
This month there were a little over 50 entries, however, most of them were for just email RSS subscriptions. I’m a bit disappointed that only a few actually participated in actively helping me advertise the contest by posting blog posts (which I even provided for you). In the end, it is my fault though, because I have almost lost most of my time to comment other blogs to get more traffic here.
I’m going to be killing this contest, probably for a few months. I’m really sorry that I have to, but I barely have enough money to pay this month’s rent after giving this away (I withdrew cash within 10 cents of 0 from my accounts >.<.) I’m killing it because I realized I shouldn’t be struggling to pay rent, and I will also be applying to transfer to a new college. I need about 1500 dollars a term to study at this school, which isn’t a lot, but I don’t have that kind of money, and neither do my family, and I really want to get the hell out of Hua Hin and Webster University.
Once I know I am secure, the contest will start up again though. I promise. I know I will lose all my subscribers and I deserve it. This blog is failing miserably. I’m going to have to start hiring some Indians or someone to start writing me some blog posts… or guest posts! If anyone wants to be a guest blogger here, just let me know. Send an article to justindupre @ blogosis.com and if I like it, you will see it here!
Sorry and thanks and I hope you all understand my situation.

Yeah! Just thought I would remind you all here, now, that any extra entries for the blogosis monthly blog contest end today. I haven’t added up the entries, but i don’t think it is as strong as it was last month. The amount of email subscribers may have gone up, but thats about it. So, if you did everything for all 11 chances, you might stand a pretty good chance to win.
So, you are gonna get about 90 dollars (10% of what I make online each month; tracked on the side bar) if you win, and 350+ Entrecard credits that I have gathered over the month.
Yup, just a little reminder that you could win. Check back in a couple days to see the winner.
How have I been, you might not be asking? I’m not too shabby. I am a bit tired, but not too bad at all. My grades in class are slipping from a 3.8 GPA to probably less than 3, but I am not too interested in school anymore. I make more than enough money to live, working only an hour a day, however the heck I want to here in Thailand, and if I could find someway to stay here without an Education visa, I would probably take it. My parents would kill me for that one, but gotta live your one life the way you want to.
I’m going to stop this post before I rant… I had a really good idea from that last sentence to rant on…

Ah! Mr. Problogger Darren Rowse posted my guest post on his blog already (Holy crap, it got 77 comments as of now!)! I was sleeping so I wasn’t prepared to fully introduce myself to all the Problogger subscribers that might float over here. So let me do that now!
Anyways my name is Justin Dupre. I am a full time university student from the lovely state of Minnesota. The only special thing is I live and study in Thailand. I am not allowed to have a job here (legally) so I began to research online with what I could do. I now work on several blogs and websites to try and make a little money so I don’t dip into my student loans (about 20k dollars a year… eek).
I want you to go check out some of my favorite and best blog posts:
First of all, go check out my contest! It is ending in a few days, and I will give out more than 50 dollars in prizes. All you have to do is sign up by email and you are in. Cool! Also, it is a monthly contest, so as long as you are still an email subscriber you have a chance to win.
Blogging: The Next Olympic Sport - Alright, not really, but you can check out why Olympic Athletes and Bloggers are one in the same.
6 Ways to Make Your Blog as Big as Cloverfield! - Yeah, I compared blogging to the movie Cloverfield. I like to think of myself as a unique blogger.
40+ Adsense Alternatives – I had my account disabled by Google. (Thanks Google, We love you). So I put together a list of what you can use instead.
Yeah, I am in a rush writing this because I don’t want to miss any new users that may visit my blog because of this. So what else can I say? I hope you enjoy Blogosis: The Process of a Blog, and that you subscribe. That would make me one happy blogger.
