A Few More Bonuses for Bloggers

First things first, you get links!   All bloggers like links, right?     You’ll get a backlink from myself, Insure.com and LifeHappens.org.   One post gets you 3 links.  Yeah baby!

You also have the chance to get picked up by big media.  The Roth IRA Movement got big time press from the Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, Kiplinger’s, Yahoo Finance and many more.   In fact, Pete from Bible Money Matters had his post picked up my Kiplinger’s which was then syndicated by major online publications all across the U.S.  Here’s what Pete had to say about it,

I still get traffic just about every day from the Kiplinger link for the Roth IRA movement. I can only hope this one pans out that good as well.

Can it Get Better?  It sure can!

The Life Foundation is offering a special gift for bloggers and vloggers who do a brief mention about the movement.   Then a special committee will pick the top 3 (maybe 5) posts and let their Facebook community pick the top post.

The top winner takes home the Dr. Dre Beats headphones with the $100 Amazon gift card. If you win, you’ll be looking fly just like 22 Olympic medal recipient, Michael Phelps!

I got Dr. Dre Beats, do you?

Your blog post does not have to be extensive thesis on the importance of life insurance.  We realize that could be a downer for many.  To participate, here’s all we want you to answer:

“Why do you think life insurance is important for your family?

That’s it!  Obviously, if you mention more about the movement, that would be appreciated but not required.

Remember: That question is just a suggestion.   Feel free to talk about whatever you like.  In fact, below you’ll find some other questions you can answer along with some great resources from the Life Foundation.

My main goal has been to bring awareness to a much needed topic.  Together we can bring awareness to why families need to protection of life insurance.

Let’s do it together!
