This contest has really helped my students understand the power of social networking. It has also motivated them to put their videos on to see how well they would do. This is really something epic!

the social networking is great and all but how is this going to help my brand? People are going to be focused on the videos and a quick vote, not my product.Not to mention I like voting for stuff but I don’t want to spam people or let the world know I voted on something.

@Ron

It’s all about user engagement. They may not visit your site through such a contest, but they would definitely recall your brand by participating. It’s the same concept of “sponsorships” you see while watching a soccer match, brand recall.

Unfortunately, http://twideocontest.com turned out to be a scam. Please beware everyone. I was scammed by the site and the owner Brandon Winnie.
