I made a video commercial and entered a contest with a prize of $25,000. My video was selected for the top 10, out of 700 submissions. The winner is chosen by public voting on YouTube.
I'm facing contestants who are not playing by the rules; they are offering prizes in exchange for votes and that has left my video trailing far behind.
How can I reach a very wide audience in the next few days before the contest ends?
Here's what I've done so far:
- advertised on Facebook, Myspace, and every social site there is
- posted on Craigslist
- thought of donating part of the money to charity (and still considering it)
- tried to find a famous twitter-er to post for me
- ate a ton of pistachios for inspiration
