<br />
You have a great contest just waiting for entrants.  You have a nice banner, the rules are all clearly listed and the prizes are sizable.  Why is no one entering?<br />
<br />
It could be that the community doesn&#39;t know it&#39;s there.  Now is the time to get word out and bring some traffic to your contest.  Here are a few suggestions on how:<br />
<br />
<img loading="lazy" style="" class="emoteZ" src="https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/e21/idea.png" alt="*Idea*" title="Idea" border=0  width=15 height=15>&nbsp;Visit "<a href="http://www.WriterU.Com/main/view_item/item_id/298127-Gaining-Exposure-Within-WritingCom" title="My column discussing six tips to gaining exposure within Writing.Com!

<br />
<img loading="lazy" style="" class="emoteZ" src="https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/e21/idea.png" alt="*Idea*" title="Idea" border=0  width=15 height=15>&nbsp;If you belong to groups, ask the group leader to add a link in the next group email.  Or ask if you may post it on the group forum.<br />
<br />
<img loading="lazy" style="" class="emoteZ" src="https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/e21/idea.png" alt="*Idea*" title="Idea" border=0  width=15 height=15>&nbsp;Add a clickable image or link to your signature.  Curious members will click and visit your contest.<br />
<br />
<img loading="lazy" style="" class="emoteZ" src="https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/e21/idea.png" alt="*Idea*" title="Idea" border=0  width=15 height=15>&nbsp;If it&#39;s a raffle or reviewing forum, offer tickets/reviews in another member&#39;s auction.  You might have to donate the tickets, but the link will be in that auction and bring traffic to your item.<br />
<br />
<img loading="lazy" style="" class="emoteZ" src="https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/e21/idea.png" alt="*Idea*" title="Idea" border=0  width=15 height=15>&nbsp;Reviews of your contest/activity get a link on the review page!  Ask for reviews in review forums or review group request pages.<br />
<br />
<img loading="lazy" style="" class="emoteZ" src="https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/e21/idea.png" alt="*Idea*" title="Idea" border=0  width=15 height=15>&nbsp;Sponsor your item with BidClick advertising.  If you&#39;ve never tried BidClick, now is the time!  <br />
<br />
The best way to bring in traffic is to have a well-planned contest/activity.  Communication is the key!  If you plan ahead and get the word out, members will come and enjoy your item.  And if they enjoy it, they&#39;ll return again for future rounds or activities.<br />

<b><a href="/main/authors.php?action=search&search_for=jumacu" target="_blank">jumacu</a></b>:  I like your recommendation to keep a list of contests that you have entered. I agree that sending a note of congratulations is so nice. I think that reading the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners can help you see the various styles and creativity that went into that piece <br />
<br />
<b><a href="/main/authors.php?action=search&search_for=biddle.connie" target="_blank">biddle.connie</a></b>:  I find entering a contest is a great way to get your work read and sometimes reviewed as well. I know I do that. Great newsletter. <br />
