Rafflecopter: Giveaways instructions

First of all congrats to our last winner.

Second, I noticed a couple of things. Some of you who participated, didn't follow any of the instructions. They clicked on rafflecopter that they have followed me on twitter, stated that they tweeted about the giveaway, followed me via GFC, commented about their contact info underneath the post, while they didn't do any of this. So, that's when I decided on makeing an instructions post to clarify the method on how to use rafflecopter.

This is the rafflecopter widget

 

 

You Either login through your Facebook or just type in your email. 

 

If you chose to login through your facebook, click on the "login with facebook link". a new small window will pop and will ask you to allow access, click yes.

 



Or, You can login through your email by typing in the box your name and email

The widget's window will show you the options you can do so that you can enroll/participate in the giveaway. Below are some of the options you can see on any giveaway on rafflecopter.

 



Each entry has a specified score assigned by the blogger, mentioned in the box on the right. the more you participate the higher is your score, the more the chance for you to win.

• Let's say you chose the first option which is liking the facebook fanpage. you click on the downwards arrow, and then this window will pop.

Click on the facebook photo you see in the box, and like the fanpage. then write your facebook  name in the box. don't worry this is confidential and only visible to me.

• If you chose, for instance the last option which is leave a blog post. then all you have to do is post a comment with your information, at least you email to contact you in case you win, and then click on

"I commented!".

• There are many other options in rafflecopter you may find such as follow on twitter, mention me or the giveaway in a tweet or a hashtag, this is all you have to do:

click on the entry, a small box will pop and click on Tweet This.


If you tweeted about the giveaway or me, how can I found out? All you have to do is link your tweet by finding the tweet on your twitter account, click on that tweet. When the tweet expands you will then see Details, click on that. Copy the URL from the top of your browser address box, this is what you copy and paste to your Tweet This entries in Rafflecopter. By the way, this is a permanent URL to that tweet and it will not disappear, unless you delete that Tweet.

• Follow Via GFC you must have gmail account or a twitter account and then on the right coloumn on my blog click on Join this site

If you followed the fanpage for the giveaway and the unliked it after the giveaway, clicked on "I commented!" without commenting, followed on twitter and then unfollowed after the giveaway, I will know and you will be disqualified from any giveaway.
