Contests Galore at The Mom Buzz

Can you believe how long it’s been since I entered (and shared) blog contests?  I have been SOO busy. I subcribe to many blog feeds via email and that folder is VERY full right now.  I just can’t seem to find enough hours in the day right now…Instead of winning some of these contests, I really need to break down and win the lottery (don’t you wish it was that simple?).  I wish it was that simple.

Anywho….since my odds aren’t too high on purchasing that one ticket that would change my life, I’m going to try to feature a different blogger every day or two and list their current contests.  Go enter because someone has to win each one  - it might as well be me you.

Bloggers CAN Make A Difference

ATTENTION TO ALL REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY BLOGGERS:  It is true, you can make a difference.

4 Bloggers have joined together and formed a new blog – a blog with a cause.  The blog is called Blogger’s Give and is run by the ladies who run MomDot, What’s That Smell?, MomStart, and Jessica Knows.

So what is Blogger’s Give? Blogger’s Give is asking those of us that run reviews and giveaways to ask those awesome companies we work with to donate one additional item besides the one they are giving you for review (or the two they are giving you to review and giveaway) and donate it to Blogger’s Give.  Each month the ladies over at Blogger’s Give will choose a charity and all donated items for that month will be sent to that charity. The first cause that was chosen by Blogger’s Give is The Center for Courageous Kids.

So if you are a blogger who does reviews or contests, I strongly encourage you to consider asking for that extra item to be sent directly to Blogger’s Give.  Really, the only thing you have to do is ask. From there it is handled by Blogger’s Give. Trisha has even written the request for you in a form letter that you can send to the  companies and PR representatives you deal with each time you are setting up a review or giveaway.

What do you get for being a participating blogger in Blogger’s Give?  Well first you get the self satisfaction of knowing you are helping others.  But if this is not enough for, you’ll receive a few tokens from Blogger’s Give.  From the Blogger’s Give Site:

Every time we receive a product donation on behalf of your blog’s giveaway or review, we will do the following:

  • Promote the giveaway on your site of participating product in a post we run once a week
  • Promote the review on your site of participating products in a post we run once a week
  • A list under our Blog Listings that is permanent
  • The blogger who donates the most product throughout the month will receive our Blogger of the Month award and be permanently listed on our sidebars the rest of the year
  • The blogger who donates the most product at the end of the year will be awarded a $100 gift certificate to any store of their choosing 

Don’t think you can convince your PR reps or business to donate?  On top of the warm feeling in their heart, Trisha says that Blogger’s Give will do this for them:

  • A link listing permanently under our donating companies
  • A 125/125 banner on the sidebar (if sent to us) for the month they donate
  • The companies that donate the most product via a blogger per month will recieve a banner ad that rotates throughout the 4 Bloggers Give blogger sites (Mom Generations, Simbaco Lifestyle, MomDot and Accideintal Mommies)

Coming Back with Contests

Thought I’d emerge back into the World Wide Web by sharing a couple contests with you guys. My first contest to enter after gaining my Internet connection was to win the book, Social Climbers, from The Dirty Shirt.  Then I headed over to Just a Mom’s Take on Things to win a really nifty USB drive. Next I headed over to Rockin’ Mama where I agreat contests – one for a Gourmet Italian Meal. I decided I had time for one more (not sure why as I KNOW I should be in bed, but hey, it’s my first night with Internet in a LONG time.  So I headed over to The Mom Buzz and entered for a Diaper Clutch. I’ve never heard of this, but boy do they look neat. And finally I headed over to Blessings Abound and entered win a great prize from Olive Kids.
