New Year, New Reads Giveaway Event Sign Ups
I'm still emailing winners and sponsors from the last event while Formula Mom and Tales From the Nursery are planning and scheming, getting sponsors and bloggers together, for another new blog event in honor of the new year!
Attn Newbie Bloggers: If you have been thinking about participating in a hop, but have been intimidated or have lots of questions, this is the group that you want to join for your first hop!! I can help guide you as well, but the host blogs are AWESOME and the others in this group are EXTREMELY supportive!!
New Year, New Reads is a book-related giveaway hop that will take place from January 9 – 23, 2012!! This will be a two-tiered blog giveaway event. Bloggers can choose to participate in either one or both of the tiers. Please note that Tier 1 (the paid tier) is now closed. You are welcome to participate in Tier 2 and be eligible to win blogger prizes. The event will feature a normal blog giveaway hop linky as well as a grand prize Rafflecopter form!
We are proud to announce that HowardComputers.com will be sponsoring a Kindle Fire grand prize!
Current Grand Prizes:
Kindle Fire & $50 Amazon gift card
2 winners of a $25 Amazon gift card
There are three options for participation in the event — a paid option, a free option, or you can do both!
Tier 1 (Paid): Tier 1 is now closed. To participate, please fill out the sign up form for Tier 2!
For those who registered for Tier 1, you will receive priority listing on the event linky and will also be listed on the grand prize Rafflecopter form with the information you provided!
Tier 2 (Free):
Tier 2 is free to participate in.
Tier 2 operates just like your typical blog giveaway hops!
You will be required to find sponsors for your own book-related giveaway. Anything related to books and reading will work for this event. Books, gift cards, bookmarks, reading lights, reading glasses, cozy pillows for reading, etc! Yes, you can get creative! Prizes such as Paypal, Amazon, and other gift cards are acceptable as well. Minimum prize (or prize pack value) is $25.
You will be listed on the event giveaway linky in the order of sign up after the paid participants who are choosing to participate in both tiers and receive priority listing on the linky.
Requirements
- Have a giveaway specifically for this event that runs the duration of the event (minimum value $25) – Tier 2 participants only.
- Posts will need to be live by 9am EST on January 9th and end at 11:59pm EST on January 23rd. **If you are using Rafflecopter, be sure to set your end date to January 24th!
- Display the event button in your post so hoppers can easily identify it. (You do not have to make your post sticky. It would be nice, but I’ll update the linky with direct post links.)
- Display the linky in your post to encourage hopping.
- Comply with proper disclosures — no entries that violate Facebook policies (i.e. requiring comments on walls), no extras for making purchases, etc.
