Well, I woke up this morning with the hopes that the sun would be shining and we would all have a wonderful day in the Metro-Vancouver area. I was wrong. It's cold, the skies are grey, and its raining. For heavens sake, IT' JUNE already! Where is the sun? The beach weather? Obviously not around today. Oh well, it's supposed to be nice on Saturday.
So I was thinking to myself, with this new blog and stuff, what would be one of the first things I would like to share with everyone? And you know, i'm still trying to figure that one out LOL. What have I been up to for the last little while? What has been the centre of my attention? You know what I came up with? Nothing. However something along the lines of Travel Job competition popped into my head.
That's right. I might as well tell you all about the #BTJE competition that my best friend Anastasia and I are competing in. It's called the Best Travel Job Ever. This was definitely an eye opener into the life of Social Media. Using twitter, Facebook, and all these other SM sites to advertise our video. We both learned so much about online marketing and this is actually one of the reasons why I have started my blog. Time to get my name out to the world ;)
So the rules for the #BTJE was to make a 2-4 minute video explaining why you deserve to win this job travelling the world and getting paid for it. Fight Centre Canada, along with many other sponsors, such as Air Canada, Intrepid Travels, Henrys Photography, and Roots, are sending 3 groups of 2 around the world to blog their adventures. One group to South America (Peru) one to Asia (China) and the last group to Europe.
The goal was to get as many votes for your video as possible. Out of the top 25 'Most Votes' videos, judges were to pick the top 6. Anna and I moved up from 30 something position to 8th!!!! Finishing off with 2299 votes for our video. Unfortunately we did not make the judges cut (possibly because we were in a group of 2) BTW Congrats to : Fiona+Sonja for team Asia, Jason+Mike for team South America, and Sam+Tim for team Europe. Your all going to rock it!!
However, there is a bonus assignment which is going on right now, and that is to win a trip blogging California. Pretty much the same rules apply, get votes for our video, and this time, get people to comment as well. This morning I checked how our video is doing, AND WE ARE IN FIRST PLACE with almost 550 votes!!! We are killing it.
We may not have won the first round, but the Bonus round is looking pretty good for us. So that was a little insight to what the whole BTJE is about. If you want to take a look at our video, and see other submissions, you can do so here: http://besttraveljobever.com/anovo
Vote for our video if you think we deserve a trip blogging California and also leave us a comment;)
