First a huge “Thank You” to all of our amazing sponsors who gave so generously for this drawing. These sponsors all responded with their prizes within a 48 hour period of me contacting them with my request and have absolutely spoiled you guys! If you haven’t taken the time to visit each and every site … would you please, please do that? If you want to continue to see great prizes donated around the blogosphere then we all need to support these bighearted people when they step up like this … agreed?
I want to thank Louise for reaching out and helping me with a simple system for using Random.org. I was about to make this way too complicated (I do that sometimes LOL) and she set me straight. I will do a post here soon on how to do a successful contest and I’ll include the instructions for using the site too. Keep in mind that we had over 100 contestants with over 500 entries so I took my time organizing it so it would be done right!

Congratulations to all of you! You deserve it and I really do appreciate all of your support in my quest to become Blogging Idol (that post is next I promise).
Shannon Lilly was drawn for his own prize (I had a feeling that might happen in this drawing) so as promised I moved him down to the next prize which was the video review from Normal Joe. Funny thing is these two guys just battled it out in their own RSS contest … and I think it’s a good thing Joe beat Shannon or who knows how that review would go! Just kidding … but if you’ve never seen one of Normal Joe’s video site reviews … you’d better stay tuned to this one … it’ll be entertaining I promise.
I will be emailing all winners today and providing your contact info to the prize sponsors/donors.
Thanks again to all of the sponsors and to all of you who participated! It was a very successful contest/drawing so watch for more to come on the blog.
Did you win something? Was it what you wanted? If you didn’t which prize were you pulling for? What type of prize ideas do you have for my next promotion? We’d love to hear your comments so don’t be shy. *SmiLes* Suzanne
Glad you're here! I wrote my first eBook, "Blogging Idol Secrets Revealed," and it's my FREE gift for those who supported me in the Blogging Idol competition (and for my new online friends too LOL).
Go download it and learn how I drove new visitors and grew my RSS subscribers by over 800% ... in 30 days flat! Let me know what you think of the book ok?

Although I did not win a prize in the contest, I feel like I have won something because I found your blog. I am looking forward to the Bootcamp lesson. Thank you so much for that!

Hi Suzanne
Contrats to all winners, I am quite pleased not to have won anything, having only chanced upon Suzanne Franco blog these last few days. So I am quite happy to not feel guilty at winning something for no real effort.
I agree with Karen am learning with Suzanne which is a bonus.

Congrats to all the winners. I’ll be waiting for the winners to contact me for the prizes. Oh ya, congrats to you too, Suzanne. Though you didn’t get the crown, you are already a winner long before the announcement. The stats proves itself – 50 to 600. Impressive!

Hey everyone! I haven’t been on my computer much today because I got some kind of virus from YouTube videos somehow … I think it’s all fixed now … so *fingers crossed*
These are great prizes and it was fun getting to give them out … random.org was very easy to use and was much easier then cutting up 579 entries! LOL Thanks again to all sponsors and to all who entered. Fun! Can’t wait to do it again. *huGs* Suzanne
