Create a giveaway

Most people who do that (ask for tweets, and posts, etc.) use rafflecopter.

Frankly I found giveaways to be very little return for the time and investment. JMTC but for one six month period I ran a giveaway every four weeks and could tell no difference between my normal baseline sells and those resulting from giveaway activities.

I'm having a blog tour in October and I'm having a giveaway at each stop. It's fun. I know the giveaway itself won't generate sale but I'm hoping the host's post will and the giveaway may attract new visitors to my site.

I'm not doing rafflecopter or asking anyone to do anything except comment on the host's post.

I should have mentioned it earlier, but the asking of people to like, join, tweet, etc for points in a giveaway can be tiresome. Now, when I see a rafflecopter, I skip past it. I did a recent post on this and asked others their opinions on this and it was pretty unanimous they didn't like it. They said the pretty much automatically share when they see a giveaway anyway.

Just something to consider.

That does sound nice. I thought about this since I asked on my blog and your question. I think - psychologically- for giveaway people don't expect to have to do anything other then put their name in the hat, whereas a contest they are ready to do things.

Oh and I just went to your website. BEAUTIFUL photos on your homepage. I liked your about page a lot too.

I just entered and tweeted. Personally, I tweet from my account directly (I don't like adding third party authorizations.) You might add your giveaway to the blog announcement subforum.
