The Blog Engage Giveaway here on Basic Blog Tips lasted for an entire month! Many of the contestants threw their hats in the ring the very first day the contest started and they did an outstanding job of tweeting and promoting the contest. Each contestant was also required to subscribe to my YouTube channel, comment on the post and follow @BasicBlogTips on Twitter. Brian, owner of Blog Engage, convinced me to use Rafflecopter to manage the contest and tabulate the votes. I'm so glad he did! The winners were picked by Random.org and this helps keep the results fair and makes any contest easier to manage.
If you ever want to use Rafflecopter for a contest or giveaway, watch the tutorial from Justin at DragonBlogger who does an awesome job of explaining how the system works (you'll find his video at the bottom of this post).

What a wonderful surprise to open up my email and see that I was one of the winners for the Blog Engage Gold Memberships. I feel like I’m at the oscars, luckily I rehearsed my acceptance speech, here goes 🙂
First and foremost I would like to thank our host Ileane Smith for putting together this great contest. Brian Belfitt for providing the awesome prizes and inspiration behind it all. To all the other winners, congratulations and I look forward to connecting with you. Last but not least to all those who participated and didn’t win, your still winners just for being a part of this great community here on Basic Blog Tips.
Thanks again and I appreciate the opportunity to join Blog Engage !!
And the Oscar goes to…. LOL!!
i checked out the site and said to myself “why didn’t i know about BlogEngage sooner”? LOL
if [BlogEngage] has another content in the future, I just might throw my hat in, and see what’s good on getting a free membership 🙂
Drewry,
There is still time for you to enter the contest on Jym’s blog http://bloggersalchemy.com/blogengage/
Give it a try and I’m sure you’ll like Blog Engage.
Bummer I missed the contest. Jeesh. January is such a crazy month over here. Thanks for the link to Jym’s blog to participate.
don’t sweat it about missing the blog engage contest. The beauty of it is that hopefully, there will be another contest. In addition, there’s all sorts of wonderful opportunities on the World Wide Web from bloggers and Internet marketers. It’s not the end of the world 🙂
🙂 Of course. Never sweat the small stuff, right. Cheers to all of the winners.
Hey Shonda, you can also head over to Blog Engage and find out about more upcoming contests to win the free membership. Good luck.
Thank you, Ileane. I found a couple other Blog Engage contests to enter. I’ve never really entered into any contests before but I am feeling the contest bug this year so far… to trying new things. Thank you.
Shonda, I’m sure you’ll end up winning if you keep retweeting on a daily basis. Tim Arthur retweeted the contest faithfully everyday and his name was the first won that was selected. The more entries you have, the better your chances of winning!
going to start a contest soon on my blog .i’ll surely use Rafflecopter . Thanks
I’m looking forward to hearing about another exciting blog engage contest momentarily. While I don’t do contests on the World Wide Web that much, I just may throw my hat in on the next contest, and see what fruit emerges from it 🙂
Drewry, There’s tons of Blog Engage giveaways going on right now. Here’s one http://www.blogengage.com/blogger/win-a-free-year-gold-membership-from-anatrafficcafe/
