So … you want to know how to earn your drawing entries? Here you go: 

  • (1) To enter the drawing you must be subscribed to my RSS feed by EMAIL. If you’ve already subscribed by feedreader I’m sorry for the inconvenience but you’ll need to add the email subscription until the contest is over (December 1st). This is the only way for me to confirm your subscription so thanks for understanding. Make sure you click the link in the confirmation email that you get in your inbox. Worth 1 drawing ticket. (mandatory to enter).
  •  

  • (2) For additional entries you can vote for me as the next Blogging Idol here: http://www.dailyblogtips.com/blogging-idol-2-voting-session-is-open/. I cannot confirm this so everyone is on their honor with this one. It’s easy and … you wouldn’t lie to me would you? LOL Worth 2 drawing tickets
  •  

  • (3) For additional entries you can place the super cool button (thanks to Nicole for donating this button) “I Voted for Suzanne Franco” on your site. You will find the button and the code below. Worth 3 drawing tickets
  •  

  • (4) For additional entries you can blog about this contest/drawing and link to this post (http://www.suzannefranco.com/blog-contest-drawing-launches-today-over-2000-in-prizes) and to the voting page on Daily Blog Tips (http://www.dailyblogtips.com/blogging-idol-2-voting-session-is-open/). (Please be respectful and post on an active blog). Worth 5 drawing tickets.

 

Here’s the awesome button you can add to your site:

I Voted for Suzanne Franco

Here’s the code ~ simply copy this code and paste it where you want it on your site:

<a href="http://www.suzannefranco.com/blog-contest-drawing-launches-today-over-2000-in-prizes/"><img src="http://www.suzannefranco.com/images/button.gif" alt="I Voted for Suzanne Franco" /></a>

Now … after you have done the tasks you are able to complete … come back here and leave a comment stating what you’ve done and add the links to the site where we can see your button and/or blog post. 

Then on December 1st I will use random.org to choose the winners. I will pull one winner for each prize. You can win multiple prizes so the more entries the better chance you have of winning something … or several of these amazing prizes.

Speaking of amazing prizes … as you can see my sponsors have really stepped up to the plate here and spoiled you guys … so please visit their sites and and thank them for their sponsorship. These are ALL awesome products and services that would help you with your business. They deserve some kudos … wouldn’t you agree?

If you have questions it would be easier if you’d use the contact us page. I will then post the Qs & As for everyone to see.

I really do appreciate the tremendous outpouring of support I’ve received throughout the Blogging Idol contest. I hope I can return the favor to each and every one of you … I mean that sincerely. I am still offering free spots in my Blogging for Bucks BootCamp so make sure you invite others you know who could benefit from that class (they will thank you I promise).

So … get busy … subscribe, vote, add the button and blog about this!

Thanks again! *SmiLes* Suzanne

P.S. Just for fun … tell us in the comments below where you heard about this contest …

P.S.S. If you are adding a url/link to your comment it will most likely require moderation or end up in the spam section … NO PROBLEM … just be paitent and I will get it added below. Thanks!

Qs & As

Q. If I subscribed by feedreader do I have to also subscribe by email?

A. Yes. To enter into the drawing I will need for you to subscribe by email. If I draw your name for a prize and you are not on the email list I will draw again.

 

Q. If I donated a prize am I eligible for the drawing?

A. Yes. You are eligible. If I draw you for your own prize I will give you the next prize on the list and re-draw for your donated prize for someone else.

 

Q. What is the last date/time I can enter?

A. The last entry will be counted on Friday, November 28, 2008 at  midnight EST. UPDATE: November 30, 2008 at midnight EST

 

Q. When will you draw for the prizes?

A. I will have the drawing completed by December 1, 2008 and I will announce the winners here on the blog.

Wow! You seem to be attracting tons of subscribers. By the way, my friend Manny Viloria informed me that he voted for you after reading my post, and even made a post same as mine. But according to him, his comment here did not seem to enter or still for your approval. I hope you can check this out.

Good luck!

I did the rss and e-mail, I voted for you and posted a comment. My friend Ahmad just e-mailed me to say that he attempted to vote for you but he was having trouble with his e-mail in Iran and it didn’t go through. I wish he had told me sooner because I could have gone in and voted for him using his e-mail address. He says he is sorry because he will miss out on some good training. I’ll get Anne to put link on my site and will watch how to cut and paste! I miss having NaRayan; he did all that stuff for me. I’ll see if they have a class at Mira Costa I can take!
