50 Follower Contest

I reached 50 users. YAY!!! And, as promised, I'm throwing a little contest.

I'm giving away two prizes to help promote this blog so I can get closer to the 100 follower mark and hold another, bigger contest. The first prize I'm giving is a $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com, my online store of choice, and I'm also giving away a $5 gift card to Cold Stone Creamery.



Entering is easy. Just follow this blog and tell everybody how wonderful I am! I'll go with the point system.

1) Mention this blog and contest on Twitter with the following: "Follow James Duckett's writing blog and you could win a gift card. http://bit.ly/ojREtE" That is worth one drawing per tweet.

2) Throw it on Facebook. I think that is worth two drawings. But because I may not be Facebook friends with you you may need to leave a comment. I'm trusting everybody will be honest.

3) Mention it on your blog. Again, comment below so I don't miss it and so I can follow your blog if I'm not doing so already. I'll give five points for that!

Each point represents an entry into the drawing. I'll first draw for the Amazon gift card and then for the Cold Stone gift certificate. If you win, I'll stalk you until I find out how to get it to you.

I'll let this run through the weekend and tally everything up Tuesday night (July 12th) around 9pm and hold the random drawing. The winner will be announced on this blog Tuesday night.

  4. Yay! It looks like the contest is working!

    I was following before there was a blog ;)
    FB
    Tweeted
    AND Google+'d (want in? I think it's open to everyone with a gmail account)

    I'll do it all again in a couple of days (just letting you know, not begging for extra points ;)

    I don't know if I can blog about it because it's blogfest week (I'll see if I can sneak it in) but be sure to mention the contest on your poem post. Then a lot of people will hear about it. YAY!
