I frequently get questions on how to enter the awesome giveaways on my site, so I’ve decided to write-up a “Blog Giveaway How To” post:
*You do NOT need to be a blogger to enter and win
1. Visit my blog My Boys and Their Toys and look on the right sidebar under Current Giveaways or you can click the Giveaways Tab at the top of the blog.
2. Choose the Giveaway you’d like to read about and enter by clicking the title or selecting “read more” located at the bottom of the post. After reading through my amazingly well written review 😉 scroll down to where it says “Giveaway Time“.
3. I currently use Rafflecopter as my giveaway form (which makes is super simple-Yay). Sign in using facebook or your email. Then at the tab that says “enter to win” you will see a button that says +1 Do It. Click the button that says Do It and follow the step to enter, then click ENTER. *My first entry is typically a simple entry*
4. Once you complete the mandatory entry it will open up the additional entries available for the giveaway. Other giveaway entries include: following my blog on twitter & facebook, following the company/sponsor on facebook & twitter, tweeting, liking the post on facebook, signing up for my blog emails, etc. All of these are OPTIONAL and only help you have a better chance at winning the giveaway prize.
5. That’s about it! Once you’ve completed the mandatory entry and any optional entries, you’re entered to win! All giveaways run for 2-3 weeks and you are welcome to return each day to gain and extra entry by tweeting daily. Once the giveaway is complete, a random winner is drawn and contacted via the email provided upon entering the form on rafflecopter. The winner has 48 hours to respond or another winner is chosen.
Prize Fulfillment:
Yay, I won! Now what? I pass on your shipping information (that you provide back to me in your winning email) to the sponsor. *Please note it must be your shipping address, as you are the winner. **Sponsors are unable to mail prizes to someone who did not enter the contest. The sponsor will mail out your prize directly within the next 4-6 weeks. Your giveaway prize is completely free of charge, including shipping fees!
I hope this post has helped answer any questions you may have about entering blog giveaways. All giveaways are mailed directly from the sponsor/company free of charge.
Good luck and happy winning! 🙂
