I've been a member of the Blog Engage blogging community for over 2 years and during that time, I can't even begin to tell you about all of the wonderful bloggers and webmasters I've come in contact with since the first day I joined. I have learned so much and interacted with “virtually” hundreds of bloggers just like yourself.
A few months back Brian, the owner of Blog Engage made the decision to stop taking free memberships and he began charging a fee for all new members. The fee is $29.99, but after today, and for a limited time, you no longer need to worry about the sign-up fee for your Blog Engage membership!
Blog Engage Giveaway 2012
We are sponsoring a contest to give away 8 free Blog Engage memberships!
In case you missed it when I mentioned earlier, that's a free membership which normally costs $29.99! I know that some of you want to join Blog Engage but you're hesitant to pay the fee – or maybe you don't have it in your budget right now. Well this is the perfect chance to take advantage of this giveaway.
If you want to know more about Blog Engage, take a look at this post Blog Engage Helps Put You in the Spotlight. Here's something else you might be interested in knowing about the value of a Blog Engage membership. I just opened Google Analytics and took a look to see what sites are referring traffic to this blog and take a look. I'm not surprised to find Blog Engage in the top 3!
The Rules
a Rafflecopter giveaway
SPECIAL BLOG ENGAGE BONUS!
Two of the winners of the free membership is going to be SUPER happy because they are also going to get one year of Blog Engage GOLD Membership RSS service which goes for $59.88 (see the details of what's offered with the Gold membership here). That's pretty awesome right? In fact I'm feeling pretty good, so TWO people will win the Gold membership, how's that?!
Are you ready to join Blog Engage?
I am always looking for tools to increase the exposure for my blogs and online endeavors. Ileane always amazes me with the exposure she achieves and her efforts are impressive. I’d love to win this giveaway and endorse Blog Engage in the future.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for entering the contest. Best of luck to you!
Hi Ileane, im sorry this might be a little off topic but how do you get stumbleupon to be your top scource of traffic? is there anything special or just submitting bookmarks?
thanks
Hi Phil,
I know, it’s pretty amazing right?! I love StumbleUpon and I did write about post sharing my best tips for getting traffic from them. Apparently they didn’t like my techniques because now they have gone and changed the whole interface and I’m not sure if these tips are valid anymore. Here’s the link though (I bet some of it still stands, I just didn’t get a chance to figure out what’s-what yet.) https://basicblogtips.com/stumbleupon-traffic-charts.html
StumbleUpon is under-rated. It’s always somewhere in the top few referrers for my blog as well.
Based from a lot of reviews that ive seen about blog enegage, it seems to be a great product to use to make your site or blog ppular and gain traffic.
Hi Mark, that’s right Blog Engage sends me a lot of traffic.
I have always wanted to join Blog Engage, I can’t wait to join to join this community, am waiting for the giveaway…
Hi Joseph, sorry for the delay. I had to sign up for Rafflecopter and I got stuck setting it up, but the requirements are posted now. Go for it!
Hi Joseph, best of luck and make sure to subscribe to Ilean’s newsletter I’m sure she will be hosting more of theses. Make sure to stay updated!
Because I need guidance! lol Also… inspiration, leads, advice, and everything a blogging community would provide. I’ve been looking for a community to join that offers networking opportunities, friendship, and blogging tips/info.
Thx for sharing this great giveaway!
Hi Wendy, I can say from experience that you will get all of those things from Blog Engage and more. Thanks for entering the contest.
Hope I will be lucky on this one.. I have been eying to be a part of the BE community
Herbert, thanks for entering the Blog Engage Membership Contest. Best wishes!
Im crossing fingers on this one Ileane 😀 hehehe
Hi Herbert this is good to hear, I hope to see you joining us I’m sure you will just love blog engage as much as we all do
I really wanted to be a part of the BE community Brian…
Even though I am not really a contestant in this blog competition, I am very excited to know what will be the result. I hope that one day I can be a contestant, for me to know if what I’m capable of.
Hi Kate, thanks for your lovely comment. Best wishes.
Fantastic giveaway, thanks so much!
You’re welcome.
Hi Mark, You’re welcome here even though you don’t have a blog yet. If you have any questions about how to get started, that’s what I’m here for. You can use my contact form if you like.
Thanks for your contribution and for your support!
This is a great opportunity to possibly gain more exposure for my blog, so I figured I’d participate in the contest.
Hi Kevin, thanks for joining in the contest fun. Best wishes to you!
I love contests and giveaways Ileane and Blog Engage is a fantastic prize. As you know, I’m already a paid member so I’m not going to enter; I just wanted to chime in and say Blog Engage is so much more that just a feed service. Brian goes above and beyond on so many levels and it’s a monthly membership that I’m happy to pay. The chance to get a free membership is reason to participate in your contest 100% and get all the points possible. I wish everyone luck.
Hi Brian, thanks for coming by and showing your support for Blog Engage! It means a lot.
Thanks ILEANE for such a great offer, hope I would be successful to fine the similar one in future so that I could be the member of this great community.
This would be an asset to my website to increase my exposure even further! Thanks for the opportunity!
Hi Myrah, do you have a Twitter account? The Twitter name you entered gives me an error message. Let me know when you get a chance ok?
Finally there is a free membership. I hope I get the give away. I have been curios about blog engage for some time. This is the opportunity I was waiting for.
Great giveaways going on everywhere, I am also doing it at my blog but participated in here also. Might win that RSS membership…:)
Sanjeev, that’s an excellent idea. The Gold membership with Blog Engage has a ton of benefits. Good luck!
I can’t believe they charge for a membership now. BE is a nice site (don’t know why it doesn’t load to me right now) and I’ve used it in the past. It drove little to no traffic though, but it’s good to find some nice articles to read. But paying for membership? It’s good I have my old free one, but I’d surely NOT pay to be a member on a site to promote, when I can (and am) promoting via forums/blogs WAY BETTER. And it’s free 😉
Hi Dojo, thanks for sharing your feedback about Blog Engage. I can’t say that I ran into you over there, but I’ll take a look.
I’m ramonaiftode there. Haven’t been on the site for months, since it brought minimal traffic. Will try again, maybe it’s better now, since it got a bigger too 😉
Blog Engage is having the site redesigned and as soon as that is done I’ll look for your account. It looks pretty cool over there now – but it’s still a work in progress.
Great to see BlogEngage is working well for you, Brian has really worked hard on it over the last couple of years and I think it’s worth the membership fee if people already aren’t members, luckily I am 🙂
Hi Robert, Brian works in his sleep to make Blog Engage a success. I admire his stamina. You can still enter the contest to win the free Gold Account if you want.
Have a great weekend Robert.
I was just working outside when I stumbled upon this great contest. I’d like to enter, the review would help my gear. Thanks!
Hi Doug. Great! Come join the contest fun!
Hi Ileane,
What a nice way to kick off the new year! Does Brian know that you’re one of his biggest cheerleaders? (smile) I’m entering this contest because I’ve heard so much about Blog Engage from you, it would be almost sacrilegious to pass it up!
Hope you have a lot of fun selecting the winners. 🙂
Hi Vernessa, sorry for the delayed response. I was hoping you would join in the fun. Brian convinced me that using Raffle Copter is the way to go and judging be the response – he’s right. It helps that I don’t have as many tasks on my list as most of the others who are running the contest. But I have more prizes than anyone else too 🙂
RaffleCopter is a neat little app. Good idea to use it (or anything!) that reduces the workload and management.
Your contest is going strong, good job!
I always like to try new things to increase traffic to my blog and/or websites and if it’s FREE it’s for ME! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win this membership.
Hi Lisa, best of luck to you in the contest. Blog Engage has helped me connect with so many awesome bloggers and I’m really happy to be holding this contest.
Thanks for joining in.
Thank you for introducing me to Blog Engage. Wow! There are so many blogging tools available, and it seems you have your pulse on many of them.
Marcie, I signed up from Blog Engage when I first starting my blogging journey. I had no idea how valuable it would end up being.
I really appreciate it Ileane, the information you have shared inspired me a lot , that i must write enough blogs for me to share it with others and to join such competition.
I always find your blog more informative on the topic and is a great source of information..
Thank you for posting useful articles. You are really engaging visitors and bloggers through ‘Blog Engage’. Nice to hear about the new contest. Look forward to find more in the coming days.
The blog engage network seems like a great community. Thanks for offering up the chance to win. I’ve thrown my hat in the ring…fingers crossed 🙂
Hi Jackie! I’m glad to see you entering the contest. Blog Engage works very similar to BizSugar but the big difference is the Gold membership with Blog Engage. With the Gold service you never need to worry about manually submitting your posts. It’s a huge time saver and worth every penny especially if you have multiple blogs. Good luck!
Here is my Twitter account: @couponmamacita
Great, the system corrected your Twitter account on both comments. That’s Andy Bailey for ya! Gotta love that guy 🙂
Hey thanks for sharing this opportunity. I have not heard of Blog Engage until recently. I want to win.
Take care
Mike Cleveland
The one thing I don’t hear too many BE members speak on is the awesome site advertorials Brian does for your blog…this really impressed me as he actually looks over your blog and writes the best benefits it has to offer readers!
btw,
Ileane, looks like you’re becoming the Queen of StumbleUpon huh?!
Great giveaway. Just entered. I used to be a power user at Blogenegage but I did not choose to pat the premium to submit my content. If I could get a free memebership that would be ideal so I can check it out and see if it is worth paying for.
sorry about the last comment..i put your name in the name field instead of mine..it’s been a long day!
Dan, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done that! LOL! Looking good, great to see you!
Gold membership will provide me easy access to submitting my posts,as I am too lazy to submit there. So, I have a chance here 🙂
Bishwajeet, at least you might get a chance to win it to make your life easier. Good luck!
For a novice blogger like me, it will be a great help. It will exposed my other blogs more. Thanks for posting
Wow! Free blog engage? That is great! Congrats to the winners 🙂

Great heads up! I’ve never heard of Blog Engage. I’ll have to check it out!
Hi Ileane,

This is a perfect formula for success Ileane and thanks for putting this together with Brain. This a fun way for your users to interact with you as well as be rewarded for driving traffic back to you blog.
Brian has created a dynamic community over at Blog Engage and I would welcome the opportunity to be a part of it. I know I deserve to win this contest, not because I’m a fan of your blog but because I look forward to using it in order to share great content to the world. 🙂
In addition I really like the Raffle Copter feature which makes it very easy to monitor shares, follows and comments. I’ve got a few ideas on how I can utilize it to for some contests I wanted to run.
Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this fun contest and look forward seeing who wins !!
John
John, what an awesome comment! I can tell you’ve visited Blog Engage before and you can appreciate how valuable it is for bloggers.
This is my first time using Raffle Copter and so far so good. I can’t wait to see who wins this giveaway. Best wishes!
Ileana thanks for the showing BE traffic to your blog.
And thats great that BE helped you to get it and even I will be plnning to take BE member ship So can you suggest which plan will be better n is their any plans for beginners in BE.
These, number of giveaways shows the kindness of Blog Engage and Brian. These worthy accounts are raining this year. I am already there, participating for Gold membership.
Good for you Abhi! Go for the Gold membership, it will make things so much easier for you to submit content to Blog Engage.
I wish so. Lets see if I win here. 🙂 I’ll be glad to have gold membership.
You’ve created quite a buzz about this one Ileane!
I just launched a BE Giveaway myself and it’s exciting to see several others running too. By the time they’re all done we’ll have plenty of new blogging faces in the community…
I love Blog Engage, and can’t recommend it highly enough to any blogger…
Get involved folks! Good luck!
Hi Jym, it’s great to see Brian open up the free memberships again and doing in through the Giveaways is a perfect way to give back to our readers. How do you like Raffle Copter so far?
Even though I prefer the free basic membership model, I have to say the contest system makes joining BE a lot more fun…
I’ve only just put Rafflecopter up, love the idea of it although I can see ways it could be more customizable and flexible. What do you think?
I’d like to add an email opt in form to Raffle Copter but I don’t think it’s possible. I love how I don’t need to keep track of the points 🙂 Thanks for your feedback Jym.
I would like to part of the Blogengage community. Hope I win.
Hi Nirmal, best of luck to you in the contest!
Hello,
another great giveaway of blog engage membership. to be a part of this great blogging community is a dream of every blogger and so as mine also. just a newbie in this blogging world and still learning a lot from you all. the BE membership normally cost 30$ and which is quite heavy to my pocket as of now because not earning that much and still i am a student only 🙂 so would love to win at least the basic membership and by luck i get Gold one than its too good.
I have also mentioned about this giveaway on one of my blog (Don’t treat as SPAM) :

As a brand new blogger getting ready to launch their site at the end of this month, a BlogEngage membership (to me) would be like finding the “holy grail”. It would allow me the opportunity to start my blog off on the right foot, with all the benefits that come from being a BlogEngage member.
Thank you for this opportunity 🙂
Blog Engage has an amazing reputation. I first learned about BE at Blazing Minds and always wanted to join to engage with the best of the blogosphere.
I subscribed to Basic Blog Tips to learn more about WordPress. Thank you for posting such great informative articles. Because of you, I no longer suffer from WordPress stress.
What a great opportunity for more web exposure for bloggers, thanks Ileane!
