I recently discovered blog giveaways and I am hooked. I enjoy giving stuff away to on my blog to my readers and I also enjoy entering a good giveaway.
Here are the reasons I love to enter blog giveaways:
1. Free stuff This is obvious. Who doesn’t love to win free stuff?
2. Great chance to win Most giveaways have 100 to 300 entries and therefore your chances to win are pretty good.
3. Finding new blogs I have found some of my favorite blogs when they host a giveaway.
4. New products I am introduced to exciting new products or companies through blog giveaways.
5. Attracts new readers Others see my post on the giveaway and may click through to check out my blog.
6. Attracts companies to run promotions Since the blog giveaway carnival, several companies have seen my entries on other blogs and approached me to run promotions for them.
Did I mention you have a great chance of winning a blog giveaway? Last month I won 9 giveaways valued at more than $200 from blogs. Here’s what I won:
* Host by Stephenie Meyer (Thanks Iowa Geek)
* 5 Eric Carle books (Thanks Life Starring Ellie and Eve)
* National Security Mom book and website access (Thanks Fractured Toy)
* ATTITUDEster doll (Thanks Fractured Toy again)
* 100 coupons (Thanks Tips and Treasures)
* Meat Club Cookbook (Thanks Living the Local Life)
* WAHM 468×60 Ad space (Thanks WAHM group)
* Crest Pro Health Toothpaste (Thanks SAHM money savers)
* Boon Divider Plate (Thanks A Latte in the Morning)

Wow, are you ever lucky! I rarely win though I give away a lot of stuff! (and I am still waiting for the Starbucks card I won this last round!)

from the carnival i won:
an “at home” spa package
a v.day treat topper
a print of a pic. by a photographer (haven’t gotten so don’t know what it looks like)
and something else but i can’t remember what.
You’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head for me. I just recently in the past few months started blogging, and found most of my favorite blogs through the blog giveaway carnival Dec 4th. That was a riot. I haven’t won anything but still enjoy entering and seeing new blogs when I have the time to go through them. I like Mom Giveaways, too.
I’m going to be doing two giveaways soon myself 😉

Congrats on all your wins! It’s definitely exciting.
Liz767 – To keep track of my wins, I created a folder in my email entitled ‘giveaway wins’ and keep all the emails I receive when I win in that folder.
I love blog giveaways. i found blogs that i love and keep coming back to and good product too. I also love getting a winning email
I know this post is from February, but I wanted to thank you for the links of sites with giveaway listings. I’m looking for places to promote my Earth Day giveaways and need all the help I can get so I can also promote our sponsors! After all, they were generous enough to donate $3000+ in prizes for celebration!
Thanks again!
