Kick Off Second Quarter With A $100 Giveaway

By Pinyo • Apr 1st, 2008 • Category: Miscellaneous

To celebrate a successful first quarter and kick off second quarter, I am going to do a simple giveaway as a way to say thanks to my readers and other bloggers.

$50 Amazon Gift Card For One Lucky Reader

All you have to do is leave comments on any post (not just this one). Each approved comment is equal to one entry, so the more you comment the more chances you’ll have of winning the gift card.

If you are not a subscriber yet, I encourage you to subscribe via Email or via RSS feed. This way, you could get new posts and leave comment daily.

At the end of April, I will use a random number generator to pick one winner. I will contact the winner and send the gift card via email, then announce the winner on Moolanomy.

$50 Worth Of Advertising On Moolanomy

The second giveaway is for my fellow bloggers (sorry, other types of site are excluded). For a chance to win, just link to Moolanomy and send some readers my way. At the end of April, I will randomly pick 5 winners from April’s top 10 referrers and show their 125×125 banner on my sidebar in May.

These 5 banners will fill only one spot, so each banner will appears about 20% of the time.

In the mean time, please feel free to look at the deals, specials, and freebies page I created. There should be something there for everyone.

Again, thank you for all your support and I wish everyone a prosperous second quarter.

    $100 giveaway, hmmm, speaking of 100, check out Google todasy.

    Seems the Google founders and Richard Branson are concocting a 100-Year Plan to colonize Mars.

    No, really…

    Woot! :) I like the idea of the random number generator for comments. It may keep down the comment wars where everyone is trying to top everyone.

    Thank you everyone. :-)

    @Minimum Wage — Is that an April Fool’s joke?

    @Jay — You automatically get one entry every time you leave a comment.

    Sure this is not an April’s fool day trick?

    Count me in if it’s not.

    May be a bad day to announce this, but this certainly is not an April Fools trick.

    At the end of April, someone will win the Gift Card, and 5 bloggers will get the ad spot. In fact, I am giving out the ad spot for March top referrers and already informed the winners. :-)

    @John - Thank you!

    @JSB - Definitely not a joke. For the whole month, 1 comment (or trackback) = 1 entry and I will announce the winner in early May.

    Great idea on the comment giveaway. I’m sure I’ll post a few times this month so I’m good there. Thx!

    @Jill - Don’t forget to subscribe because you can keep commenting through the whole month to increase your chance of winning.

    @PT - Thank you. I appreciate it even if you send only one reader, and I will try to return the favor when I could.
