Promoting Your Blog with EntreCard
Okay, I know I’ve mention something about EntreCard. But this is going to be another feature that EntreCard provides, that I’m going to tell you.
EntreCard Forums
If you have joined EntreCard for some time, and you have only use the Dashboard. You’re missing something. Look at those navigation buttons on the top of the page, you’ll see one with “Forums” written on the button. Now that’s what I’m going to talk about. This is a place where all EC users interact, plus the easiest spot to trade, get and make use of your EC credits.
Now, regarding some steps I found out to promote your blog by using EntreCard. Go to the “Promotions and Events” forum.
You want some boost on your EC credits earnings? There will be lots of offers from users that need some traffic or comments to be posted on their blog. I experienced one time, where I got 300EC just for dropping a comment on one’s blog. A quick way to earn your credits, I say. Compare it to do a 300-drops, yes the first step is much more faster.
You want some traffic for your blog? Well, if you have enough credits, then be the one that offers the credits for those who put some comments on your post. Post your request, and state your offer. And keep your promises, we don’t want you to be a pain in the neck.
Okay, you can buy those traffic this time. But remember what I’ve told you before (Make Quality Post): when some traffic landed on your blog; you have to impress them. Let say, you can hold promotions that offer EC credits to get the crowds keep on coming, but I don’t think that’s how bloggers should do it.

i agree that entrecard does help in promoting one’s site. yes, i’ve also lurked in the forums and my main reason for visiting the promotions and events board is to fetch contest. i’m a contest hunter too! but recently, i’ve decided to use that portion of the forums and look for kind sponsors and within the day i got one. i never expected that too happen since i think it’s really impossible to have sponsors that you do not know. but hey, it’s possible with entrecard!
You are entirely correct. I will credit EC for the Alexa rank jump that I have got. In about 2-3 months I have moved up close to 1 million ranks.
The entrecard forums have started picking up as you say. It has become an active place now and as you say a great place to earn a few ecs.
This was a great post. I am an entrecard user, but never explored the Promotions and Events. Thanks for sharing your expertise on this. I look forward to checking it out. I definetly can use the advice!!
Yup some quick and easy ECs are available in the contests. They are most useful though to then buy advertising as it’s the adverts that really bring in quality traffic since they came for a reason other than dropping their own card. Thanks for this good tip on the contests though!
You are so right. i have earned quite a few credits via dropping comments on blogs and I also sometimes run some offers when I want a particular post given some love and attention. I wa ill for a while but now I am back into blogging again and have three blogs daily almost to update getting some easy credits is well worth it. I do 900 drops a day and my fingers gt a little numb by the end of the day!
You also build up good blogging relationships this way too.
Excellent tips there. I am currently planning my own EntreCard contest but I still need to the credits to give away! I will be sure to check the EC Forums now. Cheers.
@janelle:
bloggers have more credibility, even if you never meet them in person. So don’t be surprised when someone is willing to lending you a hand.
@lvs:
so it did help you to gain traffic, didn’t it?
yes it is a good spot to earn ECs, beside drop them thru blogwalking
@megan:
Glad you find it usefull.
@Mike King:
hey, you got my point there.. I started this contest, after I managed to collect some ECs from following others contest
@yanjiaren:
you did 900 drops? that’s a strong will-power I say :p
@Hlndleyite:
I started as participants, previously. But after sometime, here I am with my own contest.
Thank you for your comments, it encourages me :D
This is something that I’ll definitely try. Before, I’m just one of those who will stick to the dashboard and drops inbox the entire time that I’m dropping ecs. :)
