Monthly Giveaway Idea

I was trying to think of a better way to reward those of you who are always following me and commenting on my posts, something that will allow you to win a prize pack each month, outside of the giveaway hops. With that being said, I came up with an idea on doing a monthly comment giveaway.

Basically you will comment on any and every post, and that allows gives you ONE entry. I will also have a rafflecopter form set up at the beginning of the month and there will be prizes and entries added to it through out the month. At the end of the month, I will tally all the entries and the person with the most entries will win that prize package of that month.

I hope to start this the beginning of June so I need to hear some feedback soon! Comment here as well as vote in the poll at the top of the sidebar.

Thanks to all my readers!!

* UPDATE - The winner will be chosen randomly, and they will only be able to win once every 3 months, that way everyone will get a fair chance.

  1. I think that is a great idea. :) Hopefully you don't get just a bunch of random comments like spam just to get more entries.

    1. Do you think I should do like one extra entry per comment per post per day, or just one comment all together?

  2. You should make it a rule that the comment has to be relevant and meaningful to avoid spam.

    1. It will be a rule. Also I monitor any and all comments before they are post on this blog. I also have a way to mark comments as spam too.

  3. Yes, definitely make it have to be a decent "topic related" comment. Not just a "that's so cool" ... also, I am confused by the comment on any and every post - do you HAVE to comment on every post to enter or is it that every comment on a post is another entry? :) Sounds fun!

    1. I mean that every comment you post will be an extra entry, but do you think I should limit it to one comment per post?

    2. Hmm... good point - probably 1 comment per post = 1 entry b/c some ppl might try to take advantage?

  4. I like the monthly giveaway for fans. I don't think you should be required to comment on every post though to enter. I sometimes have busy days where I can't hardly get on the net. Other days I can comment on several posts. Maybe have a certain number in order to enter, and after that it can be 1 entry pe comment

    1. No, of course not. I like that idea. May be I could post the rafflecopter form at the beginning of the month and then it will have other entries that you can get from the individual companies, and then put on the form that you will get an extra entry for every post that you comment on? Or should I just wait and post the whole giveaway toward the end of the month?

  5. I'm a part of a FB page and they have the Booshaka fans. It tallies everything for you and makes it a TON easier for you! You could just give the #1 person the prize and then switch off month to month!

    1. Do you think I should do that or just do it randomly?

    2. well, while random is considered more "fair" you ARE trying to reward regular readers and 'top fans' so maybe try this Booshaka thing (I have NO idea what it is! But sounds interesting!).

  6. I agree adding a rule of relevant comment. I think one comment per post for an entry but it's up to you since it's yours. :) That's just my opinion.
