You know how you’re taught “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade?” Well, life handed me lemons lately with my computer woes followed by a brief feed subscriber “issue”. So I’m making lemonade.
I really appreciate you all being patient with me. And I want to reward you!!
So here’s the deal. I’m challenging myself to increase my subscriber readership. And my subscribers get the rewards!!
- My first goal: Double my readership. I WANT 500 followers!!!
- My second goal: Increase by another 250 followers.
- My third goal: I want 1000 followers!!!
When I hit each of these numbers of followers, I will suddenly announce a blog candy giveaway for 48 hours. This will give newsletter readers a chance to participate. The announcement will be sudden so you’ll have to subscribe to be in the know.
For 48 hours I’ll give my readers the chance to comment for a chance to win the prezzie (see below for prezzies). The winner will be chosen using random.org. And you must tell me why you like following my blog. Your answers will help me determine what I feature more of. So be nice!
