Posted By Darren Rowse 18th of December 2006 ProBlogger Site News 0 Comments

200612181504It’s time for another ProBlogger Group Writing Project – and this time we’ve got 10 prizes worth between $2000 to $2500 USD!

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE SUBMITTING. Particularly pay attention to the instruction to submit NEW posts not previously written ones. Old posts (written before today) won’t be accepted and will not be eligible for a gift. Thanks for your understanding.

The Topic

This project’s topic is ‘Reviews and Predictions…….’

Your task is to write a post that looks back or looks forward (on what is up to you).

  • You might want to look back on the year that was (topical for this time of year)….
  • You could make some predictions about what the new year will bring in your niche….
  • You could look back on some aspect of your life….
  • You might use the post to make some resolutions for the year ahead….
  • You might like to give an award for the last year to someone in your niche….
  • You might look back on the 10 biggest developments, 5 biggest mistakes, 72 best quotes…. of your niche….

Write it in any style you like, a rant, list, poem, video, pictorial, haiku, podcast….. anything

Be as creative as you can and take this in any direction you like. You’ll have a much better chance of getting your post noticed if it’s useful and/or interesting to readers and write something relevant to the topic of your blog.

Once you’ve written your post simply follow the process for participating that I’ve outlined below (please note – to be eligible for the gifts from our sponsors you need to follow the guidelines below).

  6. […] Fitness Mantra is a blog focussed squarely on health, fitness and nutrition and most of my posts revolve around making fitness an everyday choice. I started the blog in May of this year and coincidentally this is the 100th post!

  8. […] I’m still reading the posts submitted to Darren’s Group Writing Project. There are plenty of great new blogs to check out and lots of interesting stories from the last year. I’m getting a lot of inspiration from these stories as well as the plans and predictions for the new year. If you haven’t had a chance to check out any of the posts yet, take some time and browse through them. Here are a few of my favorites so far: […]

  9. […] Just before Christmas I participated in ProBlogger’s Group Writing Project, with my Microsoft’s Year post. I hope you enjoyed it. After talking to some of my friends I realized that maybe I was a bit too harsh to Microsoft, but I honestly find them to be reactive and slow. And I think that, sooner or later, they won’t be able to lead (or follow) the competition. […]

  14. […] I have already said that being involved in the Problogger Group Writing Project has been a very positive experience for me. My post 11 reasons why 2007 will be the year for plus size fashion has been well received by many people. When I was checking my links this morning to see who was linking to me I noticed Dave from Eclectic Gamer was talking about his experience in the project and listed a few of his favorite reads and he mentioned Full Figure Plus. If you are a fan of games then be sure to check Dave’s blog out. I know as a result of reading his blog I will be checking out the Transformers movie next summer. […]
