In recent days, a series of friends and readers asked me two questions:

1) "Can I get a free copy of Web 3.0 - the book?" and
2) "How can I become a guest author at sophotec.com?"

OK, first of all: the fastest and best way to get Web 3.0 - the book is to BUY it, because it provides incredible insights, visual models and inspiration for only $29. It is unique both in content and form. You will not find anything comparable anywhere. Second: you can always submit articles to jb@sophotec.com - if it's on strategy and supports our pursuit of progress in knowledge, the web and Social Media, I will be happy to publish it.

But you are right - it would be nice to bring these two points together. So from now on, we will give away one book for free to the best article on the Web 3.0 that gets published on sophotec.com/blog. It will be awesome to get all your ideas and thoughts, and I am really excited about getting your mails!

Here are the rules:

• your post have to deal with the Web 3.0 and why everyone becomes a media entrepreneur. It can be about online publishing, blogging, monetization, visionary stuff, social impact or anything else connected to the Web 3.0.

It must meet the following criteria:

• 300-600 words
• Include a picture (profile pic, illustration etc. - no copyright violations, please)
• Describe your case, your budget, what you did, how it worked, and what you think were your success factors
• Provide a short (max. 3 lines) description of yourself, your blog etc. and back-link URL
• We only publish original content that has not been published before.

If you meet these criteria and match the editorial standards, you will be published. Among the published articles, the post with the most views and comments wins. Each comment counts as 10 views - hey, and no cheating, please.

I will answer every submission, promised!

Let the games begin :)

Cheers
