How Giveaway Winners Are Chosen

You know it was recently brought to my attention, that maybe many people who enter blog giveaways don’t realize how a winner is chosen. I wanted to take a moment to explain how I choose a giveaway winner and how most other bloggers do as well. When a giveaway submission comes through to me first I find out if I am going to charge my giveaway fee for hosting it or receive the same or similar product package in exchange for hosting said giveaway. I then wait to receive whatever form of compensation I will be receiving and if a product is submitted I must take time to fully review the product so that I can share my opinion based on the family experience with said product. Once I am …

Can’t Please ’em All

Image by nedrichards via Flickr I teach my children that nothing in life is fair, seriously. If life were always fair and things were always the right way and unexpected situations didn’t arise then life would be completely boring and not worth my time in all honesty! I love the ups and downs of life, it is what keeps me moving forward and staying positive.

A friend of mine told me the other day that Compete only tracks US based traffic and of course I found that out after I sent my stats to a company with a direct link to my Happily Blended Compete Site Analytics. Google Analytics is great but I don’t see the same number with them as I do with StatCounter or Get Clicky. …

Just Be Yourself Part TWO

This is a continued topic discussion from yesterdays Part one post about being yourself as a blogger. I wanted to split up my discussion into two posts for the reason that today I am going to touch base on the type of bloggers who are truly setting up a blog to vent, be someone else or just don’t wish to share their personal life on their blog. Maybe you read a blog daily and they are a review or giveaway blog, now it would be hard to determine a person’s character simply through reading reviews, giveaways and similar articles therefore my point of being yourself really doesn’t apply to strictly review & giveaway bloggers. I just feel like I am here on my site putting my world out there for …
