Getting Married and Giving Away $1500

by MoneyNing · 109 comments

It’s my wedding on February 9th, 2008 and I’m giving away $1000 (possibly $1500) to my beloved readers to celebrate. There are a few ways to win.

  • Each email subscriber will get 20 entries.
  • If you stumble this post (give it a thumbs up), you will get 5 entries.
  • If you have a blog/site and link to this post, you will get 10 entries. (Please email me at david [at] moneyning.com with the link afterwards so I know how to contact you)
  • If you link to this post and also write a review of my site in the same post, you will get 20 entries. (Also email me after you do this)

After I settle down with my new life, I will start drawing a winner every day starting from March 1st for 10 days in a row. Each winner will receive $100 (Most people will receive money through PayPal. Those that don’t have a PayPal account will get a $100 amazon gift certificate).

If I have more than 1,000 subscribers (RSS + email) before I draw the last winner on March 10, I will give away another $500 and draw winners for an additional 5 more days. To increase my subscriber count, you can either subscribe to my feed or become an email subscriber.

Note: Since everyone will get multiple entries, it means that it is possible for an email subscriber to win all $1500 dollars! So what are you waiting for? Do all of the above, get 55 entries and increase your chance to win all $1500!

I just stumbled, linked and reviewed so I guess that means I get 1 million entries. :-)

I will be adding the email sub coz I already you in my reader.

Whew, with all of that I guess I have covered all of the entries. Oh yeah!

congrats on the wedding on Saturday by the way…I guess that means no post for a few days after that huh.

lulugal: I’m only going to be away for one week since my honeymoon is in May. I have already scheduled all the posts so it should be regular programming for everyone :)

What a brilliant idea to generate additional vistors to youe blog and celebrate your pending nuptials.

I stumbled, dugg (or is it digged) and have written a track back on my blog about your post.

This is great blog without the giveaway I think I might implement something similar myself.

Hope the wedding goes well and congratulations to you both if you are as happy as me in 15 years time it will be a great decision. : > )

First, congratulation on this spectacular time of your life.

Second, you should be asking for money, not give it away. I remember how much I spent for my wedding….gasp.

PS: If I win, consider it my wedding gift to you. :-)

PSS: I only stumbled, so it’s only 5 points.

Congrats on your wedding!

In no way somebody can have 55 entries as once we review and post about the contest, we automatically get 20 entries and 10 entries won’t be counted. So it will be only 20+20+5=45 entries.

BTW I have subscribed via email and stumbled this post as navjotjsingh. I will soon post about the contest in another post on my contest blog: SYC(SubmitYourContest.com)

Hi,
May you and your wife have many happy days ahead for both of you.
I signed up for your e-mail because I read about your give away on “My Dollar Plan”, but after reading your “About” page, I think I will like your site even if you weren’t giving away something to celebrate your wedding. You sound like a very nice young man and here’s to wishing you the best.

Lazy Man and Money February 15, 2008 at 10:19 am

Congrats on getting married… I noticed that the least amount of entries you can get is 5. Why not just reduce the fraction and give everyone 1 entry for stumble, 4 for being an e-mail subscriber, 2 for linking, and 4 for a review?

I guess it’s like giving someone 10,000 shares of a million share pie – it sounds more impressive 1 share in 100 piece pie.

MoneyNing February 15, 2008 at 10:22 am

Lazy: The difference is that if you only stumble, you can still get potentially $500. If you only get one entry, then you can only get $100.
