How? I’m trying to work out all of the details as they are promoting the plugin through a contest! Brilliant! They will soon be releasing the free/basic version of the plugin at which time I will be playing with it and will report back with more details.

So, here’s how it works from what I can tell so far. People come onto your site and fill in a form (name, email and twitter id). Then they are directed to a page that allows them to either tweet or update their facebook status with promotional content along with their personal link to your site, just by clicking a button.

You can reward contestants for:

• Linking to your site
• Sending Tweets on Twitter
• Posting your links to FaceBook
• Commenting on your blog
• Signing up to your newsletter
• Sending new visitors to your site

Each time they do any one of the above they get a “ticket”. So the more times they promote it the more “tickets” they get.

They also offer a page where contestants can view the contest leaders/standings! http://www.contestburner.com/contest-standings/

ContestBurner will even integrate with their upcoming affiliate marketing plugin so you can run an affiliate program and pay commissions on sales or leads sent to your WordPress blogsite!

You can take a look at it and join the contest to see how it works for yourself at: http://www.contestburner.com/c/techcoach

Many people have tried to turn WordPress into a membership site but in the past it’s been quite tricky, time consuming and frustrating! I spent a good month trying to set up amember on my membership site 2 years ago. I was up until 5 in the morning trying to get it to work they way I wanted it to work

That’s why I was very excited when I found out about WishList Member last winter.

It’s a membership solution that was specifically built for WordPress and WordPress only.

The best part is, it has all the features you would want in a membership solution AND it is compatible with all of your other favourite WordPress plugins!

Plus, they’ve added some very cool features to make running and managing a membership site a whole lot easier.

Take a look at it for yourself. But if you have questions about WishList Member and you want them answered before you buy it, feel free to leave a comment on this post or ask me a question on Twitter.
