Motivation? Yes, yes, yes!
I completely lack commitment to e-projects. I always find myself moving onto the next thing and forgetting about what I’ve already started. I am hoping that this blog will prove to be a place where I can collect my thoughts and find motivation through sharing my e-scapades. I have several projects in the works at the moment that I will discuss in later blogs, some are very exciting (for me anyway!).
I’ve decided that in December I’m going to do something special for Haunting Echoes. I’m a firm believer in engaging your community and I run regular competitions and contests on HE. Some are more successful than others, but the participants always have a great time. I recently conducted our first “Member of the Year Awards” ceremony and it was a great success and will definitely be an annual event.
A few months ago I ran an e-bingo competition for the community and a lot of fun was had. I made bingo card images for users wanting to participate, each containing a set of 25 numbers. Over the next month, an administrator drew numbers between 1-100 at random and participants kept track, crossing them out on their cards. Bingo was called by a private message to the number caller and prizes (amazon vouchers, etc.) were distributed. I think Christmas e-bingo is definitely in order!
