There’s a REALLY COOL CONTEST for QuanSite members that begins Tuesday March 2, 2010.

You have the opportunity to win some great prizes. But more importantly, by participating in the contest  — you’ll be giving yourself an even greater gift.

Here’s what I mean . . .

Look, everyone knows that you can’t grow your business in today’s marketplace without an effective Web presence. It doesn’t matter if you make your sales 100% online, 100% off-line or somewhere in-between — it’s an undeniable fact.

Obviously since you’re using the QuanSite New Media online marketing software you’re intelligent enough to know that static old Web sites, single page sales sites or regular old blogs just aren’t going to cut it in today’s New Economy. But what about really putting the full power of the QuanSite system to work for you?

I know how it is. Sometimes we just get too busy with the “urgencies” of day-to-day business and we don’t dedicate the time necessary to work on things that will pay big dividends long term. And having your QuanSite setup properly will pay you BIG TIME, over and over again (as you’ll see form the results of the last contest winner.) So to help motivate you to make the moves you should be with your QuanSite, or to kick your results up a notch — we created the Zero-to-Quantastic contest. It’s designed to make you a winner no matter what when you enter and give it your all.

The “Luck of the Irish” Zero-to-Quantastic contest . . .

Since March is a month of shamrocks, leprechauns and green beer — you’ve got the Luck of the Irish on your side! Watch the video below for an overview of the contest and for tips on positioning yourself to win.

Your goal in the contest:

To create the most dramatic change in your QuanSite and QuanSite results between March 2-31. This can and should include:

• Getting your QuanSite EZ-Ranking Home Page set up & live online

• Adding content to your QuanSite Business-booster Blog module that will attract & engage your target audience

• Creating appropriate sales pages, landing pages or squeeze pages with the QuanSite Marketing Pro module to get prospects to TAKE ACTION

• Creating an enticing opportunity for visitors to opt-in to your subscriber list

• Utilizing the videos and audio features of the New Media Dominator module to build rapport and trust with your Tribe

. . . bottom line — anything you can think of that will help grow you business. You don’t need to integrate everything listed above. As mentioned in the video above, it’s all about setting specific goals related to where you are at with your QuanSite and what’s most important to achieve for your business during the 30-days that the contest runs.

The prizes:

1st Place winner gets a $400 prize package including one brand-spankin new FLIP Mino Video HD camera, a signed copy of Secrets of Online Persuasion and Twitter Revolution, PLUS one month of your QuanSite software membership paid by us.

Runner-up gets a $140 prize package including a signed copy of Secrets of Online Persuasion and Twitter Revolution, and one month QuanSite software membership paid by us.

The “Luck of the Irish” Zero-to-Quantastic contest dates . . .

The contest begins on March 2nd and ends on March 31st.

You can enter anytime during the 30-day contest period, but realize that the later you start the less time you have to make your improvements. The closer to March 2nd you start the more time you’ll have.

To qualify to enter you can either be:

• A new member just starting out on the QuanSite New Media online marketing software in the last couple months.

• An existing member who, despite your good intentions, know that you have a lot more power at your fingertips with the QuanSite software than you’ve put to use yet.

How you gain an advantage in winning . . .

ADVANTAGE #1: The really BIG advantage you already get for FREE with your QuanSite online marketing software membership is — QUANIVERSITY!

This same content we’ve included in the seven classes of Quaniversity when delivered to a live in-person group commands $1,500 and up per person for pure-content 3-day event. And much of what is shared in the Quaniversity classes forms the basis for $10,000+ strategic consulting projects with private business clients and politicians.

That’s the value that’s packed into Quaniversity waiting for you to take and apply it to explode your business growth online. You can access it all right from your QuanSite admin dashboard.

And as I mentioned in the video above, the Quaniversity program was a special bonus you got as a new QuanSite software member. But this is begin removed for new members in March and will be a $300-$400 physical product. Putting what you learn in the Quaniversity program to use in this contest will make you one smart cookie.

ADVANTAGE #2: Check out the case study on the last winner of the Zero-to-Quantastic contest

Karyn Clark won the last contest with a 1,000% increase in her Search Engine rankings and a huge boost in traffic too. You’ll get some really good ideas from Karyn’s results. Review the full New Media online marketing case study here.

ADVANTAGE #3: Get a helping hand

If you want help on the design side, you can take advantage of the Custom Site Build service to get your site set-up faster. As I mentioned in the video above, the investment for this service will be doubling in March. So even if you’re not entering the contest and want a custom designed QuanSite, now would be a good time to take advantage of that service and save $1,000!

How winners will be determined:

Winners will be chosen based on the amount of improvement seen between the “before” images and the “after” live results. Although aesthetics will be taken into account, this is not a beauty contest. The main criteria we are looking for in contestant sites is the effectiveness of the resulting QuanSite to grow the members business (I.e.: grow their prospect list, make more sales, etc.) Because RESULTS are the focus, we’ll be using your goals submitted via the Action Tracking form you’ll be provided once you’re entered in the contest.

The contest period ends on March 31st, judging begins that same day with the winners begin announced on April 6th.

IMPORTANT! To be officially entered you MUST:

#1: Be an active member on the QuanSite New Media online marketing system.

#2: Submit your name and the domain of your QuanSite in a comment on this post

#3: Submit via a support ticket at http://QuanSite.com/support “before” images of your home page (http://yourdomain.com), blog home page (http://yourdomain.com/blog), and any other sales/landing/squeeze pages you may have created.

You can use either of the following methods to submit your “before” images:

- Still image screen-shots of each area using screen capture software like SnagIt

- A quick video screen-capture showing the “before” look and content of each area of your QuanSite. This can be done quickly with either of these two free tools; http://www.jingproject.com/ or http://www.screentoaster.com/

I personally like Jing better but use whichever works better for you. These are great tools to get introduced to the power of video screen capture in your business too. Another sneaky “gift” you get by participating in the contest.

#4: Once you’ve entered the contest we’ll send you an Action Tracking sheet for you to list the goals you’re looking to achieve during the Zero-to-Quantastic contest. On that form you’ll be asked to submit a minimum 250-word essay on what you’re looking to achieve with your QuanSite, your online goals for your business. Explain why the actions you’re going to take to win the contest will make a big difference in the growth of your business.

This is a key component of our judging criteria and a way of helping you layout a plan for what you need to do to win the contest. You’ll use the Action tracking form throughout the month to keep you on track, focus on your progress and submit it at the end of the contest to

Remember — you can enter anytime during the 30-day contest period, but realize that the later you start the less time you have to make your improvements. The closer to March 2nd you start the more time you’ll have.

The luck of the Irish to you!
