Blogtown Press Coconut CompetitionOne of the regulars in the forums, Erik Vossman, posted several questions to the Blogging Chat forum prior to launching his blog network, asking for advice and suggestions. Erik asked a few key questions including - Is there a good day of the week to launch on the Internet? and Should I launch a network before I love the design?, which sparked some interesting feedback from the forum community (including me!).

Last month Erik went public with his blog network, Blogtown Press. He launched with a unique contest giving away coconuts from Hawaii (he lives in Hawaii) in exchange for linking to any of the blogs in his network. The competition is still running now - Link to a Coconut Contest if you want to get your hands on a coconut.

Erik mostly runs the entire network himself, which is no doubt a lot of work. His launch contest is a great idea, offering a unique prize in exchange for exposure and backlinks.

    I think this is an excellent viral marketing idea. Starting a blog network from scratch these days is no easy feat and I think rather than offering cash, he is going down the right road with his originality.
