GuruShare is calling all professors, teachers, instructors, speakers, students,
professionals, and experts to participate in our $1000.00* The Golden Guru Awards lesson contest.
Imagine an extra $1000.00 in your pocket for sharing the knowledge you readily use
on a daily basis. What could be easier!
GuruShare is about empowerment. Whether you are a school looking to empower students,
a business needing to educate staff, or a driven self learner, we believe in connecting
you with the knowledge you seek for FREE. We know there are people like us that
share knowledge for its own sake, and our community is built around that concept.
Do your friends, family, and co-workers come to you for answers?
Are you always the first person to answer questions?
Is your brain filled with tons of useful facts and information?
Then become a guru, share your knowledge with the world, and you could win the $1000.00
USD.
How do I participate to win?
Entering the GuruShare lesson contest is extremely easy.
- Join the growing number of online Guru’s now by clicking the Join Now link.
- Submit a training video between June 1st, 2009 – September 30th, 2009 (plenty of time
to record your video lesson or lessons).

Are there any restrictions to winning?
All contests have rules, but ours are easy.
- Each video lesson you submit must be between 9 - 12 minutes in length. Videos
that are shorter or longer will be disqualified. Students absorb and retain lessons
more easily if they are between 9 – 12 minutes in length.
- The video lesson must be your own creation. We will be diligently watching for
original content.
- Videos must be in English.
- Videos must fall into one of our 4 major categories – Academic, Business, Professional
Development, or Technical. Don’t worry if your specific topic is not listed in our
categories page; you can recommend sub-categories to any major category during the
upload process.
- Your video resolution must be recorded in 800x600 or 1024x768. If your video
is recorded from a handheld digital video camera we will accept the default resolution.
Cell phone camera videos will not be accepted and will be disqualified.
- Contest is void where prohibited.
How do I win the cash?
The winner will be determined based on the following criteria:
- The number of views the video lesson receives during the contest duration.
- The average star rating of the video during the contest duration.
- The number of button reviews the lesson receives during the contest duration.
What that all translates into is: Tell everyone you know about your training videos.
Get them to watch. Get them engaged. Get the word out about your training videos
– blog about them, post links to them in forums, talk them up on the radio or in
a newspaper, email the world about your awesome training videos – at the end of
the day the training video with the most wins.
