Increase Your Subscriber Count like Crazy - Hold a Contest
I recently won the comment contest at Shoemoney. I received the shirt my mail today and I am wearing it right now. 
What does (probably) every blogger do to increase his subscriber count? Hold a contest of course. You cannot deny it, contests are the best way to increase your subscribers, besides writing great content. So in this post, we’re going to analyze what sort of contests can increase your feedcount and a look at how other bloggers have used contests to increase their subscriber count.
Blog Contests
We all like blog contests. After all, we get a chance to win something. Look at this contest. That was the contest I held at my blog over a month ago. By looking at the page, one can say that the prizes are cool. Anybody would like to have those prizes. However, getting those prizes means some work. One had to get more tickets to make sure that he won every prize. However people are lazy. They don’t like to do hard work as writing a blog post about a contest.
In case I hold a contest giving away, lets say, $50, a random subscriber who commented on the blog. Then surely, many would participate in it. For them, it would be an easy way to get $50 just my subscribing and commenting instead of going through the hassles of a traditional contest.
For example, I hold a contest where I’m going to give away $50 to a random subscriber. Maybe a hundred visitors signed up as subscribers to get a chance to win those $50. So, I get 100+ subscribers for my blog by just giving away $50. Getting hundred subscribers will surely add to the value of my blog. That’s a win-win situation for both me and the subscriber.
Others contests
Let’s see a few bloggers who increased their subscriber count by holding a contest.
Not Another Make Money Online Blog - This blogger has held a comment contest on his blog giving away $50 to one random commentator. In the end, he got a boost of 100 subscribers.
Da Bloggger - Da Blogger held a comment contest giving away $50 to a random commentator. As a result, he got nearly 150 subscribers.
Opinion
I guess holding comment contests is an easy way to boost your subscriber count. You can easily gain 100-150 subscribers by this method. $50 is enough for a contest. But you cannot ignore the gains.
Jason from TUK says:
A blog with 100 subscribers is worth at least $200, and if you sell it right, a lot more than that.
Check out his post about blog contests.
So, I conclude this post by saying that contests are indeed a great way to increase your subscribers.
