Get Your Site Mobilized & Win!

We’re giving away 100 absolutely free one-year subscriptions to the new OpenSRS goMobi service!

The first 100 OpenSRS Resellers to create their own goMobi site through OpenSRS and tell us about it will be credited a full year of goMobi service – that’s a $30 value.

All the details can be found here.

And remember that your first month of goMobi is already free, so it won’t cost you anything to create your goMobi site and keep it for the first month even if you aren’t one of the first 100 Resellers to submit your site.

Use Your New goMobi Site as a Great Sales Tool

Once you have your goMobi site up and running, make sure you show it off! That’s really the very best way to demonstrate the value of the goMobi service. We know that once your customers see your goMobi site, and learn how inexpensive and easy it is to setup a goMobi site, they’ll want one of their own.

Make sure you’re ready: grab the marketing resources that we provide (in six languages) and you’ll be all set to explain goMobi to them. There’s videos, HTML templates, email copy and PDF sell sheets available for download.

Marketing goMobi Webinar

If you want even more help getting started selling goMobi, then plan to attend our Marketing goMobi webinar on January 27, 2011. We’ll have two sessions – 9:00 A.M. EST and 2:00 P.M. EST – to accommodate resellers around the world. Go here for more information and times in your timezone, and to sign up.

Extra Bonus!

While goMobi doesn’t require a .MOBI domain name, we have noticed that a lot of people are opting to use a .MOBI name to host their goMobi site and this new .MOBI domain promo gives you a great way to offer a bundle deal to your customers:

From now until the end of March, .MOBI domains are available at a registry cost of just $2.99. Full details on the cost break down and the terms of the promotion, along with the signup form are available here.

Win a full conference pass to Web 2.0 New York

The OpenSRS team is gearing up for the Web 2.0 Expo New York, and we’d like you to join us! We’re going to give away two full conference passes (valued at $1745 each) to the folks who come up with the best captions for the photo below.

Like our last photo caption contest, there will also be some great prizes for honourable mentions, and you can enter as many times as you like.

Here’s how to enter

  • Think up a really witty/sentimental/unique caption for the photo above
  • Tweet your caption to @OpenSRS, along with the hashtag #w2e
  • We’ll announce the winners on Twitter and the blog around September 13

Some tips

  • Anyone can enter, as many times as they like
  • Don’t forget to use the #w2e hashtag in your entry
  • It helps to follow @OpenSRS on Twitter – it’s much easier for us to get in touch via DM if you win

The prize

The best two captions will win a full conference pass to Web 2.0 Expo New York, which takes place September 27-30, 2010. This gets you access to: Monday workshops, all sessions and keynotes, lunches every day, the sponsor pavilion, and all networking events and parties.

There will also be some great prizes for the runners-up.

We look forward to seeing your entries!

Enter our Service Guy Postcard Contest and become famous!

We recently decided that we ought to have some nice postcards to send to our resellers, but the problem is that we don’t have enough designs for them. In the spirit of Community, we thought we’d reach out to you, our resellers, and ask for your help in exchange for the opportunity for your creativity to be forever immortalized in an OpenSRS Postcard!

All you have to do is snap a photo of Service Guy and submit it. We’ll choose the best five for our postcards, and your photography skills will become renowned across the globe as your beautiful designs circulate.

Sounds great! How do I enter?

Entering is easy:

  • Take a photo of your OpenSRS Service Guy in a creative setting (see our example shots for inspiration)
  • Upload your image in a postcard-size format. Minimum size: 6 in x 4.25 in at 300dpi (1875 x 1275 pixels)
  • Add your photo to the Flickr group OpenSRS Service Guy Fan Club
  • Let us know by tweeting “Here’s my entry for the @OpenSRS postcard photo contest: [link to photo]
    Alternatively, if you don’t have a Twitter account, you can leave a comment below too.

The contest will be open until September 30. At the end, we’ll take the top 5 photos and turn them into OpenSRS postcards. We’ll give you the credit, of course. In addition, the best designer will receive a nifty OpenSRS Crumpler laptop bag, valued at $120!

Winners will be notified by email or Twitter, and will be announced on the blog.

We’re looking forward to seeing your entries!

I need some inspiration!

Here are two photos we liked; there are lots more in the Service Guy Fan Club on Flickr.

Thanks for entering our W2E Photo Contest!

Honourable mentions

Because there were so many other great ones, we’ve put together a list of “honourable mentions”. We really liked these:

  • @panicmanual: In space, nobody can hear you register a domain
  • @kellie: To .infinity and beyond!
  • @smichm: Anything is possible when your man smells like the service guy. I’m on the moon
  • @obaumer: Domains don’t have to be rocket science
  • @stevecomrie: Registering domain names and faking moon landings since January 2000

You can still attend!

Just because the contest is over doesn’t mean you can’t come to the Expo – don’t forget, you can still register for a free Expo Hall Pass using the code websf10coe at the Web 2.0 Expo registration site. Again, thank you all for entering our contest, and keep an eye out for more in the future!
