$200 Prize Winners Announced for The Writer’s Life Web Page Challenge Contest
To everyone who entered our October Website Writing Contest, we say, NICE JOB! We read every submission, and most of them were right on target, making it tough to choose the three top entries.
But, we’re very happy to say the efforts of three writers stood out and earned them a $200 prize (each), because they not only met the basic criteria, but also created original and enthusiastic content that brought the project to life.
The challenge was to rewrite the homepage copy for CharlesChiropractic(dot)com — just the “above the fold” area (that first screen people see on their computers when landing on this page). NOTE: This is not a real website. It’s a sample for this practice assignment.
Why is this “above the fold” area so important? Since it’s the first content visitors see, it creates that all-important first impression. If a web page seen on a laptop or mobile device doesn’t include vital, clear information the visitor needs in seconds, it’s losing business. (This happens every day, by the way.)
And, in this case, it was a local website with NO local information on it. Whoops!
Ideally — to help local people find products and services in online searches — local websites should include the N.A.P. (Name, Address, and Phone). That’s the first thing people look for.
Also, for this challenge above, the first-impression content should include a clear, relevant, and inviting headline using some form of the word “chiropractor” and “Boston,” since people in that area will likely type into Google: “chiropractor in Boston” or something similar.
Now, let’s see who won the challenge, and why!

Wow! I didn't realize that there are so many opportunities to make money within the AWAI family even before finishing the course. Of course, I got sick shortly after I signed up in August, and was MIA while on pain killers for my chronic arthritis. But now I'm back, from outer space (like Gloria Gaynor) and I will survive. I look forward to participating in the challenges to come. Lord knows I could use the money.
