How Do I Offer a Giveaway on My Blog?In Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Giveaways differ in the way winners are chosen and in the laws by which they are governed. A prize giveaway where winners are chosen at random is known as a “sweepstakes,” the most common type of blog giveaway. In a “contest,” winners are chosen based on some skill or merit. In a “lottery,” an entrant must pay for a chance to win. Before beginning your giveaway, read up on the laws to ensure compliance.
Prize Selection
For your promotion to perform well, your prize should be aligned to your blog audience and be something people really want. Buy the item yourself or team up with a company to provide the prize. Register your blog at Giveaway.ly, for example, and you can accept offers from advertisers interested in co-hosting promotions. You can also make money from the giveaway by charging the sponsor a small fee.
Set-up and Management
Write a post announcing your giveaway. Include prize details, entry requirements, eligibility information, giveaway dates, how the winner will be chosen and how the prize is to be claimed. Customize your entry form using sites such as Giveaway.ly, Rafflecopter, PunchTab and Giveaway Tools. Each one provides an embeddable widget that automates the entire giveaway process, from collecting entries and site statistics to choosing and announcing a winner. Entry options can be as simple as leaving a comment on a post. You can also give entrants the option for “bonus” entries by having them like a sponsor’s Facebook page or subscribe to a newsletter. In addition, it’s a good idea to set up an email so that entrants can inform you of any technical issues they encounter or questions they have.
Promotion and Conclusion
Remind people about the giveaway often through social media, starting with your own and friends’ networks. Ask your sponsor to help spread the word. In addition, tap into your blog community. Bloggers in similar niches often like to run giveaway “linkys” where you can post the link to your giveaway. When the sweepstakes period ends, the giveaway widget picks the winner. Notify the winner and make an announcement on your blog. The sponsor is typically responsible for shipping the prize within a certain period of time and paying all shipping costs.
Sponsor Follow-Up
Let sponsors know the outcome of the giveaway by providing key site statistics, such as how many visitors you received and other information collected by the giveaway widget. Thank the sponsor for participating in the giveaway and forward the winner’s name and contact information. This builds good relationships with sponsors and creates a potential for future opportunities when they see the value in working with you.

How to Sell a Home to an International BuyerIn Feburary 2016 10,
In Feburary 2016 10,
Advertise your property in a foreign newspaper. You can easily do a quick search for a newspaper in the countries you wish to advertise to, and through their website either place and ad directly, or, be able to locate the contact information for their classifieds department. Remember to keep in mind foreign currency rates when getting prices.
Make your own website. One of the quickest and least expensive ways is to create your own website for the property. You can easily find a cheap or free website hosting service and can even hire a web designer to help you post the site if you feel like you are not technologically prepared to build a website on your own. Also, keep in mind that many hosting companies now offer very simple website building software that just about anyone can use, and on top of that most of these companies offer the software for free.
Place an ad in a foreign magazine. If you truly have a great piece of luxury property, you may want to consider taking out an ad in a foreign magazine. Look for aspects of your home that are unique and look for magazines that match that uniqueness. So for example, if you have a gourmet kitchen, you may want to put and ad out in an international cooking magazine. Or if you have lakefront property with water access, you may want to take out an ad in an international boating or fishing magazine. Just be creative.
Post an ad on Craigslist or other international classifieds sites. Cragislist has made it as simple as possible to advertise your property to an international audience. Posting an ad on Craigslist and similar sites is also quite simple as well as free. You will not only be able to post a large amount of text regarding your property but you will also be able to post photos, and even a link to your website featuring the property if you have one.
Make your home stand out. The best way to sell your home to any buyer, including an international buyer, is to find its selling points. Find what makes your home stand out among the many luxury properties and lofts and really sell that point. Whether it's the view, the square footage, the location or the amenities, highlight them as much as you can in your ad to get your potential buyers hooked on learning more and potentially buying your property.
