Entering Rafflecopter Giveaways

by Nicole on October 10, 2011

I recently changed the way I host giveaways and instead of using a google doc the way I have been I am now using a Rafflecopter widget.  I wanted to make sure everyone knew how to enter giveaways using the widget – it’s so much easier than anything I have ever used for giveaways!

First of all, if you’re on a reader or reading this from an email subscription you’ll need to click over to my actual site.

To enter there will always be a mandatory entry – you must do this entry.  To do it, click  the green button that says “I did this” as you can see above.  Click it and a box will open up that allows you to enter your information (see below).

Fill out the information and answer the mandatory question to enter.  Then if you’d like you can do any of the additional entries you’d like.  You don’t need to do them in order and can pick and choose which ones you’d like to do.  Just click do this” to do each item.  Super easy!

As always, let me know if you have any questions and good luck entering the giveaways!

I’m tryiing to learn all the new options and giveaways and samples and websites, etc. I have been a long time follower. Thank you. I live in the country alone with my dog, Ollie—–halle halle lujah! So beside all the normal gardening, 2 acre lawn, farm crops, and household duties, I’m busy but lonely and sometimes bored. So my computer is my friend because I have no TV cable or satelite. No current job opportunities here but God knows my needs.

I need help figuring out how to use this!

7 Nicole December 2, 2011 at 11:16 am

Send an email to me at nicolesnickels@gmail.com and I’ll see if I can help – did you go through the steps in this post?

8 Sravanthi December 2, 2011 at 8:03 pm

Thanks for explaining how to use.

I only figured out how to use the first mandatory entry after I messed up the first couple. The last 5 (Man, pet, teenager…) I thought I had to leave a comment and could not find anywhere to leave it. After about 3 entries I figured out I was to put my answer in the extra information line. I can’t go back and add this now, does that disqualify me? : (
