Hey All,

Koichi from Tofugu / eduFire here.

I'm looking for 10-20 blogs to give away eduFire SuperPass
subscriptions (http://edufire.com/superpass - valued at $30). I'm
already talking with some of you directly about this, but wanted to
branch out more and give this opportunity to some others. I'd love to
get something set up for early September with a lot of you. Here's
some info on it:

What is SuperPass?
- People can take unlimited eduFire classes (which are live online
classes with live teachers which you can interact with, talk with,
practice with, etc).
- Subscription program, kind of like Netflix for live online learning.
- Japanese is one of the most popular subjects, which is why I'd love
to work with j-bloggers (though if you have any connections with any
other bloggers let me know and I'd be happy to work with them too,
possibly).

Giveaway:
- Would love to do small contests, but plain old giveaways are fine
too (since I know that takes less time and is easier)
- Want to give away 1 subscription to 1 blog, but if your blog is
bigger I'd be willing to give away more, for sure. We can talk more
about that 1-on-1.

Affiliate Program:
We're actually also testing out an affiliate program - it's just
getting set up and started, but I'd be happy to work with interested
people in setting up that. It's a really good affiliate program I
think, and also a great product. Right now we're paying out $25 per
full subscriber (they have to renew after the $1 one-week trial), and
it's been doing pretty well on my blog (http://tofugu.com), so feel
free to message me if you're interested and want more info. It's
technically closed to the public right now, but thought I'd like to
give you all the opportunity right now if you want it.

Feel free to reply here or just send me an e-mail directly
(koi...@edufire.com). Would really love to work with as many of you as
possible on this! I'm really excited about this product, and I've seen
a ton of people getting really good at Japanese over the last couple
months on this program! I'm excited!

Thanks much,
Koichi

One thing I should add is that I want to try to coordinate the
giveaways to posting at a similar time, and I'll link to all of your
posts about it from tofugu as a "where you can get SuperPass" type
deal to hopefully build more buzz and get a lot of new people to your
websites, whatever they are. Kind of like the j-blog Matsuri but a
giveaway.

I shot you an e-mail on this, but realized later that I horribly named the title as "Giveaway".  It sent it to spam folder for me when BCC'd my blogging email address so it might have done that to you, maybe.

Hey there,
Sounds like a good idea. I don't have a HUGE blog, but I would be happy to take part in this
giveaway. Just let me know what I can do.

This could be fun. I would like to get in on this. The give away prize
is a pretty one actually. Unlimited lessons is really helpful for the
person on the go. My mail is journa...@hotmail.com. Send me some
details please.
