A number of people have asked us what the secret is to winning our daily $100 top opinion competition, so we’ve interviewed past winners and come up with a few tips:
- Make sure as many of your friends as possible have added the iThink application to their Facebook profile.
- Write a really great, original, killer, possibly controversial but definitely unique opinion that everyone will find interesting to agree/disagree with. The most votes wins!
- Submit your opinion within a few hours of the start of our contest, which begins every day at 12 midnight GMT (7 pm EDT)
- Use the iThink “share” link to share the opinion with all of your friends. Be sure to promise to vote on their opinions so they can win next time.
- Watch as your awesome opinion gains momentum and starts to move ahead of the other not so hot opinions.
- Message your friends again to make sure they have all voted. Offer to treat them to a beer with your winnings!
- Respond to any comments people make on the opinion’s wall to keep the conversation lively and interesting.
- Make sure the iThink box is at the top of your Facebook profile page so that any friends or strangers who wander by will see your opinion and vote on it.
- As the deadline approaches and you are neck and neck with the competition, invite more of your friends, your teachers, your family, even complete strangers to add the iThink app (if they haven’t already) and vote for your killer opinion.
- If for some reason this strategy doesn’t work, there’s always tomorrow! And, of course, you could win $50 just by voting on someone else’s winning opinion!
