I don’t know about you but apparently there is a new boy in the blogosphere, his name is Avon Blake. To tell the truth, I don’t think he is new in the blogosphere at all. He could afford to buy a premium Wordpress and is planning to set up 10 different dot com blogs in various niches and he also is quite knowledgable about CSS and HTML coding. He has announced himself a problogger!

According to this boy, his world domination plan has already started and the tools to advance his plan are the 10 blogs which he has been planning to set up. Well, referring back to my question at the beginning of the post, Avon Blake is 18 years old and has just completed his high school, instead of working or furthering his studies, he will use 1 year’s time to experiment and try to earn as much money as possible online. I guess depending on the results, he might change path or continue down it until the very end. I wish him all the best, would be a great inspiration to everyone if he is able to indeed find success this way

By the way, I do not dare to ridicule this boy’s dream. He has certainly created a bang with a controversy debut post and is now offering a free iPhone to 1 person out of the many who link back to Avon Blake.com in a blog post. A random draw will be done to select the lucky winner at the end of this month. With such a good buzzing start and daring giveaway, I pray that he would be successful, the world needs more of this kind of miracle inspiration.

Get posting now, I think the contest is ending soon. Good luck.

Prizes

1st Place: $25 Gift Certificate to Amazon
2nd Place: $15 Gift Certificate to CafePress
3rd Place: $10 cash via Revolution Money Exchange

There are various ways to participate in this contest. Winners will be selected randomly from a pool of contest entry points. The ways to earn point are:

1. Comment on original contest post.
2. Subscribe via FeedBurner
3. Post about the contest on your blog and link to original contest post.
4. Add Out of Debt Again to your blogroll.

Please don’t forget to tell the contest organizer what you have done to earn your entries. Contest will run until 27th September.

Overall

The blog is pleasant to navigate around, is it only 2 months old and there’s not much content yet. The blog is neat, no excessive advertorials, there’s only like six 125×125 ad space and 1 EntreCard widget used. Blog owner also advertises her online services: banner designs, wordpress themes customization and blog consultation.

Blog post

Blog owner has a good ability to write post without hypes and most of her posts are easy to understand, direct to the point. She likes to share her experience in making money online with her readers. However, her posts are not imposing, no such thing one should do this, others should do that, etc. She just truthfully speak of her own experience, put forward her case studies and research and state her opinions openly. I notice that blog owner likes blog contests very much So do I hehe!

Expectations and Reach

Currently I believe that BloggingfromScratch has about 80 subscribers and averaging about 150 visitors per day. Considering the age of this blog, I must say that it is quite an achievement already. Blog owner is modest and do not set her blog goals too high and so far has fulfilled her goals and is expected to have more than 80 subscribers and 200 unique visitors per day. If you visit the blog, you could possibly see a new contest launched back-to-back just after the announcement of another contest. With this kind of exposure and linkbacks, I think this blog will at least be given a PR2-PR3 in the next Google PageRank update.

Comments

Blog owner has proven yet again that quality content is the king. With a good start and equally good owner or contributers, a blog cannot possibly fail (depending on your definition of failure). Throw in one or two well organised contest(s) shortly after the launch of your blog, the chances of your blog making it big is really unlimited.

Kudos to BloggingfromScratch, I wish you will achieve all your goals for this particular blog

This mini review is done as one of the participation methods for NetStrife’s First Contest. You could also order a similar site review from TheContestBlogger by sponsoring a contest here or offering monetary or non-monetary compensations.
