How to Enter Giveaways

by Mommy on September 14, 2009

Many people have asked for more details on how to enter the giveaways.  Here is a step by step guide.

1. Click on the giveaway title you would like to enter.  In this example, you would click on the See Kai Run giveaway post.

2. Scroll down until you see the section that says “To Enter”, and then click on the link that will bring you to the sponsors website.  The link will open up in a new web page.  In this example, you will be sent to the See Kai Run website.

3. Once you are at the sponsors site, look around for your favourite product and remember what it is.  My favourite pair of shoes are the Naya’s

4. Come back to the My Wee View website and the See Kai Run blog post.  There are a number of different ways to enter comments.  Here are the most common:

  • Click on the “CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY” link which will bring you to the entry forum.

OR

  • Click the Jump to comments link  which will bring you to the entry forum

OR

  • Push “END” on your keyboard.

4. Once you are at the very bottom of the page, you will have to complete the forum like I have below.  If you do not have a website, you can leave that section blank.

Once you have filled out all the info, including your favourite item ( Naya shoes from See Kai Run in this example), click the Submit button.

Hi, I saw this helpful sugject you so kindly took the time to write for us who do not fully understand and thank you very much. I am learning more as I do enter giveaways but I am still unsure what it means when some bloogers say you have to add the hash tags to a tweet or entry? Since you are the only blogger willing to volunteer this great info on how to enter correctly I thought it maybe ok to ask you that info as well so I can make sure I am doing it right? If you don’t mind please? So far I just tweet this way as an example: I write in the giveaway on the tweet I leave wheter its my words or the bloggers particular phrase then I add the bloggers link and for myself I add the ending date of the giveaway so i can know if its still within date time to retweet. But I still do not know what adding the hash tag even means?? And also can you retweet each day on an entry even if it does not say so or does that disquailfy you if you retweet and it did not say to each day? Because some bloggers say retweet each day once or even 3 times yet others do not state at all other than to say just tweet there giveaway? I still do not know how to grab buttons or such but I’ll figure those or later on LOL. Thanks for your helpful information :-) julie
