Consider this a contest about a contest! Comment here and give me a great idea for a contest, and you’ll win this fabulous book – I just finished it, and it’s great. I promise.
Haha, loving this contest about contests. Awesome giveaway!
I always love the quickie giveaway contests held on Twitter–open for 1-2 hours only, and easily organized through use of #tags. The contest host asks a random question (usually about his/her own book–ex. "Who's your favorite character from [insert title here]?"), followers respond, and a random participant gets chosen as the winner. Simple but tons of fun!
Thanks, Quinn…I want to do a contest for a code that'll get you my podcast iPhone/iPod app free (it's a paid app but the podcast episodes are free). You've give me an idea…how about a contest where people tell me their fave episode so far? Or they ask a friend in another country to download an episode and then tell me which country? What do you think?
So sorry for such a delayed response–law school started back up and I've since hit the books!
I like your first idea–but maybe tweak it a little. How about a contest where you ask your listeners to guess what episode was YOUR favorite to record–but in order to enter the contest, they must also tell you what they're favorite episode is and why?
