If you missed my post earlier this week, google ate my friends and followers. I went from having 250+ followers to 0 overnight. Fortunately, I posted about it and some of my old followers have seen it and came re-followed me. But for now, I'm re-building. The irony of it is, I've said several times since 2012 that I feel like I'm completely starting over, because I made so much progress in 2010 and digressed in 2011. And now I really am starting over.
So I'm hosting a contest for to celebrate a new beginning. I'd like to give away a $25 and a $15 voucher for the book depository. I have not yet figured out how to do this, but if I don't the winners can select books and I will order the books and have them shipped straight to the winner. This contest will be open internationally as long as I can procure a voucher or the international picks a book that can be shipped directly to them. You will get 1 entry for following, 2 entries for posting this to social networking sites per site per day, 5 entries if you tell me you're an old follower re-rofollowing, 3 for putting me in your sidebar and 3 if you dedicate a post to my contest.
Thanks guys. I know these contest are everywhere, but I really appreciate the help.
XOXO,
Beth
EDIT: I just realized I didn't post an end date for the contest. Let's call it midnight CST on March 31st.
Ooh, great giveaway. I'm an old follower refollowing. :) (5 entries)

ReplyDeleteSorry. I was an old follower, and I'll tweet and FB for you. If you need any help with the vouchers, just let me know. I've done it. Easy-peasy. You log into the site and give it as a gift. Usually the site leads you from there. :D

7 total. I hope that helps you gain a few more. By the way, Rafflecopter is open to everyone now and it's free. Much easier if you don't have to put the numbers in a cup and spill it while you're trying to draw one without looking. Once you make a form, you can manually enter any previous entries from your comments by moderating, which opens a spreadsheet you can edit. Is that pointer worth a couple points?
Soooo sorry that happened :( But maybe like you said, it is a blessing in disguise?
