Alright a month ago, we launched a contest which was sponsored by one of my favorite affiliate networks Market Leverage. Well I have finalized and sent the winners of to Dina and they should have already received the emails. Although I was informed that one of my winners did not respond back. So I will post this post, just in case if they see it, and they can contact me asap.

This contest was open to all publishers that joined under my referral. A mandatory part in this contest was to be a Market Leverage Affiliate. Only one person followed that direction in this contest. So technically there was only one legal winner. But due to the generosity of our sponsor, we will be giving away both prizes away.

First Winner: CD16072 (Asus)

Second Winner: Deanna of WinwithDeanna (deanna@j******.com) [Have Not Contact Us Yet]

So Deanna if you see this post, please contact me with your details. If she does not contact, a substitute winner will NOT be announced.

I would like to thank all of my contest members who tried, and I would strongly recommend anyone who has not joined Market Leverage yet to JOIN Market Leverage, this link will let you join under a publisher who came from Balkhis which means you will be able to compete in our future contests and have a leverage over others.

Special Thanks to Amanda Roberts of Balkhis for helping organizing and maintaining this contest.

Sincere Gratitude for Market Leverage Staff and Mike Jenkins and most specifically Dina Riccobono for helping me launching this contest.

I got this shirt a while ago but I got around to posting this today. Good people at Market Leverage sent me this cool shirt. We all know about their I’m Blogging This shirt that they gave out to a lot of bloggers at many conferences and their mails. John Chow even wore it at Izea Conference Last year.

Well they sent me another one which is branded with my site. It says Balkhis is Blogging This. Isn’t that so cool. I wore it today and will be wearing it all day. I think this is the coolest idea of branding that anyone could think of. They have their logo in the back and the front, but it have my site’s name. Why not. Thanks Market Leverage.

I don’t know about you, but I think its been too long since Balkhis gave something away. Who up for a contest? Thanks to the wonderful people at Market Leverage, Balkhis will be giving away not one, but two awesome prizes.

The first of our two prizes will is a brand new white ASUS PC, much like the one you see below, and the second of our two prizes is a brand new blue iPod Nano.

So what do you need to do you may ask? Well the winners of this contest will be chosen by random draw. Now, to better your chances of winning it is in your best interest to accumulate as many entries into the contest as possible, and you can gain entries by doing the following:

Subscribing to Balkhis’ RSS Feed you can gain 15 entries. This is the mandatory part of the contest, so if you want that ASUS, make sure you subscribe!

This step below is mandatory.

Signing up for Market Leverage will give you 15 entries into the contest. This is one of the simplest ways to earn lots of entries, so if you have yet to sign up, make sure you join Market Leverage.

Now, if you generate $1 with Market leverage, you will get one additional entry. Now this can only be used one, but, if you generate $100 with Market Leverage, you will get an additional 15 entries into the contest. So go out there and make some money!

Another easy way to get entries into the contest is to simply blog about this about this contest with a link back to this post. You can get 10 additional entries for your post.

Now if you have heard of this little thing called Twitter, you can make a killing with Twitter Entries.

A twitter post about Market Leverage (for those with 100 or more followers) will net you two entries, and this can be done daily for the twenty-four days the contest will run for a total of 48 entries!

If you follow @MLTV on Twitter, you can get one entry, and following @MarketLeverage will give you yet another entry to the contest.

And finally, you can gain 5 points for EACH PERSON you refer to participating in the contest. This can be done as many times as you like, just make sure that the people you refer comment that you referred them.

Well there you have it, it is as easy as that! The contest will run from now until March 22nd.

Now this contest is only open to new and current Market Leverage publishers who were referred to Market Leverage by Balkhis, and if you won a previous contest, than please sit this one out.

My Interview on Market Leverage

Balkhis Break Dancing – or a bit of break dancing

So as you know that I headed down to Orlando to have lunch with Market Leverage. Their office is in a very nice area. A lot of other corporate offices are there like Chase, AAA and others. One thing you gotta make sure if you go there is don’t speed because the speed limit is only $35 and the cops are hiding in the bushes. I saw a lot of people getting pulled over.

But anyways ML has been mentioned in the Orlando Business Magazine for being the most innovative work environment. The reason for that is because they are cool. They have a very friendly work environment with great food. Wii room, and everyone have this little cool shooting guns that shoot out foam darts. So it was an awesome trip. They have a very nice lunch room which is also a conference room. There are a lot smaller conference room.

I loved their studio as I got the behind the scenes MLTV looks, but I won’t add it in this post because I will link to the MLTV where I am interviewed with the video of Dina messing up haha lol so wait till this Monday I think. Sorry Dina.

Guys Dina is the best host. She is heck a lot of fun to mess around with and pick on specially if you are wii bowling. But she is a great representative of Market Leverage.

So check out the pictures below along with the video tour that was given to me by Rebecca from ML. She is also awesome and was amazing at giving me company all the time while I was in the office.
