There’s a new trend in online giveaways in contests. If you haven’t heard by now, most bloggers are now giving away free links to their giveaways in exchange for the other bloggers help in promoting the contest.
Most online contests that giveaway customized gift cards, small amount of Paypal cash, department or online store cards, and other less expensive items go via this route. It’s the easiest way to earn more Facebook fans and Twitter followers for bloggers!
Have you done this before? Do you think this is a great new trend? Care to share your thoughts?
As a blogger that has just started out it is easier for me to do this as there is a lot of times I have to miss out on a event as I can not afford to join and if they ask for a prize on top of the fees it is even harder on me. So I think I will like this a lot better. What about you?
I like it too Glenda. I tripled my FB fans for my other blog (http://wahwm.com) just by doing this. 🙂
That was indeed cool sis. 🙂 I earned a lot of fb likes out of promoting that contest. Thank you so much for informing me about it. Anyway, I thought of having a contest for my blogs first anniversary but I just can’t make my draft right. First time is indeed tough. :-l I realized I’ll just link it with another host. Please let me know if you’ll start another one sis. 🙂
I sent you an email sis, did you get it? It’s indeed hard when it’s your first time to host a giveaway. you need to network with lots of bloggers for you to pull it through…
