Sponsor Giveaway - Inspired Mama Designs

Jessica from Inspired Mama Designs, one of my new sponsors, is hosting a giveaway over on her blog.  

Here are all of the details.  Make sure to visit her blog to enter!!

How About Another Giveaway?

As we get closer to the Holiday Season, I realize that many of us will be shopping for gifts for our friends and family.  Whenever we have the opportunity to find something "so perfect", it becomes so exciting that we can't wait to give it to the other person.  What better way than to find something you can personalize?

I've decided that I'm going to do an October Giveaway for the Holidays to help us both out.  Not only will it give you an chance to win a Customizeable NameART or WordART for your loved one, but it will, hopefully, boost my following as well.  However, there are going to be 3 Winners!

That's right, I am going to offer 3 prizes, actually!  I will be choosing the names at random, on October 29th.

• The Grand Prize is an 8x10 Customizable NameART or WordART - worth $20. 

• Second Prize is a $10 Gift Certificate to Inspired Mama Designs Etsy Shop.

• The Third Prize is a pair of earrings from my Inspired Mama Designs Etsy Shop (choose one pair out of stock). 

Here's how you can enter - The more you do, the more entries you get!  Choose 1 or all to do!
Each of these items will give you one (1) entry:

1. Add yourself as a Follower of this blog if you aren't already
2. Post a Comment below this post telling me what you'd choose for a NameART or WordART (i.e. Baby's name, Inspiring words, etc.)
3. "Like" my Facebook Inspired Mama Designs Fan Page
4. Post to my Inspired Mama Designs Fan Page wall that you are entering the October Giveaway
5. Post a comment with your Facebook Profile Name (so I can find you when you post on my Fan Page wall) below this post
6. Suggest to a Friend on Facebook and have them post on my FB Fan Page wall that YOU sent them
7. Current Followers of my blog will automatically be entered into the drawing.

REPOST - How to Become a Speckled Sponsor

I'd originally published this information on another blog page, but I just wanted to do a quick post on it so that it's out here in the open, where people can see it.  All stat information is current as of on 9/30/10.

After expanding my blog and dedicating more time to it, I've decided to offer ad space here.

I began blogging frequently on April 1st, 2010.  Since that time, my blog has had over 32,000 visits (almost 11,000 of those were repeat visitors) and almost 59,000 pageviews. 

I work really hard to bring traffic to this blog and it shows.  I currently have 384 followers through Google Friend Connect.  Since July 29th, I've grown by 226 followers!  In the past two weeks, I've grown by 89 followers!

For $5 a month, you will get a 125x125 pixel button (that you provide) in the top right corner of my blog.  Ads will be arranged in the order they are purchased.

For $10, you will receive the same ad space, but for 3 months instead of one.

For an additional $3 on each package, I'll do a spotlight post for you.  I'll do the post each month.  For example, if you buy 6 months worth of ad space and pay the additional $3, you'll get 6 spotlight posts.  These posts will carry over to The Speckled Dog Facebook page and my personal Facebook page where I have over 480 friends.

If you'd like to host a giveaway here at The Speckled Dog, you can do so for $5.  I'll do a giveaway post and I'll place a button (that you provide) in the top left corner of my blog where it will remain until the giveaway is over.  I usually run giveaways for 2 weeks before drawing the winner.  If you would like to run the giveaway for longer than the 2 week period, an additional charge will apply.

Please e-mail thespeckleddog (at) yahoo (dot) com with any question or if you are interested in purchasing ad space.  Please use "Ad Space" in the subject of your e-mail.

I look forward to hearing from you!
