In an attempt to liven up a Monday morning I’ve decided to pass along a great contest opportunity. On Friday, May 8th, 2009 you can be the lucky winner of a free iPod Touch. The contest is being held by Josh Spaulding, an internet marketer who runs the blog ez-OnlineMoney.com. I’ve been reading Josh’s blog for almost a year now, and if you’re interested in learning how to make money on the internet ez-OnlineMoney is a must read. Josh gives away many helpful tips on how to generate web income. The best part is, all the methods he discusses are ways he uses to make his living online. They are proven techniques that work.

There are three ways you can enter Josh’s contest, and doing them all will give you up to five chances to win. They are very simple and are 100% free. The first is to sign up for Josh’s ebook about niche marketing, called “The $5 Mini-Site Formula”. All this requires is entering your name and email into a form. I’ve read this ebook a few times and found it to be among the best in walking you through how to develop and monetize mini websites. It’s much easier than you might think and can be very profitable. The ebook alone is worth entering your email address, not to mention the free shot at an iPod.

The second way is to tweet a message announcing the contest. You can find the message Josh is asking you to tweet on the contest registration page. Again, another free and easy way to enter the contest. If you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, it’s something everyone should consider creating an account on. It’s free and it’s extremely useful. While you’re at it, you might want to follow SiteRoast on Twitter, also.

Finally, the last way to enter (for three entries) is to create a post on your blog about the contest. If you have a blog yourself this is another easy way to get yourself some extra entries. Granted, the more people you tell the more who enter, but at least it’ll get your name in the hat a few extra times.

If winning a free iPod Touch sounds like a good idea to you, be sure to visit the contest registration page. Also, don’t forget to take a look at Josh’s blog – ezOnlineMoney.com. Even if making money online doesn’t interest you (why wouldn’t it!), you’ll still find many useful and interesting ideas. Definitely worth paying a visit.
