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 started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers trying to find the best deals for their family! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing boyfriend who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I love telling my readers about great deals and also about the cool products I get to try. Most of all I love giving stuff away to my readers! I hope you'll take the time to

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.
Love you ideas on savings!! Thanks =)
Good ideas and easier way to enter giveaways.
thanks for the chance to win.
This is an awesome giveaway. Great gift ideas for my friends who own dogs!
I need help figuring out how to use this!
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?
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? : (
Great at explaining! Thanks connie danielson
