This was an extremely difficult contest to judge as almost every single entry (over 70 of them) was a winner.

I had our Editorial Team Leader select two editors to do the honor of choosing a winner: Editor #13 (female) and Editor #15 (male). They were given the task to choose a winner that exemplifies an ideal EzineArticles expert author.

The winner of an iPod Shuffle is: EzineArticles Expert Author Brandi Cummings [USA]

Reason why Brandi chose her selected article:

“This article did not get 2000 views or get published 1000 times. What it did do was resonate with 25% of the people that read it. And since my goal is to have people read my articles, learn from them, and click through to my sites for more information, I would call this a successful article.”

Reason why our editors choose Brandi to be our contest winner:

Her selected article wasn’t the best ideal article when compared to other contest entries, but she did meet the requirements of an ideal author having her author photo uploaded and Brandi submits original content. What tipped the scales in her favor was the thought she put into her entry and her follow up blog entry (Article Marketing: What Is Success?) - We admit it… We like it when our members blog positively about EzineArticles.com. Seth would say, “The truism of the web: people talking about you is far more effective than talking about yourself.”
