I have to admit I’ve never had a harder time giving away free stuff (fairly). So I have come up with a new idea, make it harder to win.
I know, I know it’s not what you as a potential winner wants to hear, but give me a second to explain. People are lazy, myself included. I tried several times to give something away, and no one could seem to be bothered to check a blog occasionally to see if they were a winner. Well mostly- one winner was out of the country, but you get my drift.
So I figure if I make it harder to win, then the pool of people who will participate will shrink into a nice neat group of motivated blog readers who will actually check the site at least once a month- perhaps more -to see if they are a winner (or read the blog too, which is what the overall purpose is).
To accomplish this I have changed the requirement to win the Monthly Give-Away. In order to be eligible to win (and there is no purchase necessary BTW) you must do the following;
- Comment on a blog post at least once a week on Spikey Bits (you may want to sign up for the RSS feed)
- Follow the blog
- Follow us on Twitter
- Like us on Facebook
- Subscribe to us on YouTube.
Pretty easy stuff in the realm of internet. So I figure if you take to time to do all that, you’ll come back to check if you won.
Next Wednesday I will try to select a winner, not only for the Bloodcrushers, but also for the Island of Blood Starter as well. That’s TWO winners in one day! So what are you waiting for, go sign-up!!!
