Ask a question, get an answer!

FREE LIGHT GIVEAWAY

Hi folks, I created a sticky on the left side of the page as a place for people to ask questions. Pretty simple really but don't hesitate to fire away. Then I won't have to sit here and wonder what to write for my next post.

Over here.
<-------------------------------------------

Okay, this is a previous post that I'm bumping to the top...and may continue to do so. But I'm sweetening the pot...with a contest! I was listening to this Freakonomics podcast and it gave me an idea. Call it a lottery if you want, cause that's what it is. Here is how this works.
  1. Post a question in the "questions" section.
  2. If it's a good enough question I'll turn it into a stand-alone blog post.
  3. Once I get ten questions that turn into blog posts, I'll randomly choose one of those questions (and its author) out of a hat and they will get a free flashlight + charger + battery. I haven't set pricing yet but you can expect the retail price to be north of $200 bucks. 
  4. This offer will be open for 30 days and will close on March 1, 2011.
  5. If I don't get 10 post-ables in 30 days, then...I'll re-think this whole thing. 
Limitations and exclusions:
  1. You may post multiple questions, but only one question per person is eligible for being post-able (for the purposes of this contest). This means I might take two of your questions and turn them into blog posts, but that will only count as one entry into the free light lottery.  
  2. Remember that quality is more important than quantity because only one post will get used anyway. 
  3. You must be a registered user otherwise there is no way to track the person who posted.
If you need some warming up here are some possible topics: 
  1. business models
  2. design
  3. strategy
  4. manufacturing
  5. machining
  6. marketing 
  7. advertising
  8. social media
  9. sustainability
  10. brand
  11. performance/power
  12. my background
  13. this "business design" thing
