Cast 4 Cash Contest: The Final Countdown

by Huntley in General / 05.27.09

screencast-exclamationT-5 days and counting…  get your Screencast 4 Cash entries in by 11:59PM CST on Monday, June 1!

We’ve gotten 29 great entries already, and I happen to know about a couple more in drafts that haven’t yet been published by their respective authors.  We’re getting excited around MBWHQ about daily voting, which starts on Tuesday of next week (the day after the submission deadline).  We’re not, however, looking forward to judging.  There are already some pretty amazing entries, and we’re expecting more to come.

Still on the fence about trying out screencasting?  We promise it’s fun, and Jing Pro makes it *really* simple.  Even I can handle Jing Pro!  The program is only $14.95 per year, and it’s a great cross-platform tool to use to try out this whole screencasting thing - learn more about Jing Pro here.

Not sure what you can teach?  It doesn’t have to be rocket science, and it doesn’t have to be something that no one other than yourself knows how to do.  Think about teaching others tips and tricks to get more out of software or online apps you use every day or maybe sneaky tricks for games you play every day or code you spend your nights writing… If you do it on a computer, it’s pretty much fair game (and I can pretty much guarantee that someone out there would appreciate you taking the time to walk them through it in a screencasted tutorial.

If you’re still not sold on the idea of making a screencast for our lovely contest (probably because you just have no use for $1000, eh?  Who does when the economy is doing so well?), there’s no acceptable excuse for opting not to vote.  For every vote you cast, $0.10 will be donated to the Youth for Technology Foundation.  YTF obviously can’t buy too much technology for a dime, so we need everyone to mobilize to make sure they walk away with enough money to really make a difference for some deserving kids in some underserved communities.  So, go cast your own vote, and then get busy hassling your friends and followers to make sure they get out to vote, too.
