100palooza!
100palooza!
“What is 100palooza?” you ask. It’s a CELEBRATION of 100 blog posts since starting my overcomer blog in January of 2013!
100 posts about fighting to overcome life’s tough challenges, which include music reviews, 66 incredible overcomer stories, and book reviews!!
I’m so excited! I’ve been looking forward to this blog post for months!
With this 100th blog post, we are celebrating! AND we are celebrating BIG! With prizes and giveaways!
LET’S GET TO IT!
I’m SO EXCITED to offer prizes during 100palooza! It’s just a small way to say THANK YOU for supporting this ministry and my writing journey.
Anytime you subscribe, comment, or share one of my posts, it means the world to me. And so between today (September 28, 2018) and October 12, 2018, you can win prizes in the following three ways:
1. 100palooza! SUBSCRIBE
Subscribing to a writer’s blog or website is the MOST IMPORTANT way to support them. It’s because we need to have a large audience (that’s you!) in order to realize our dreams of being published.
When you subscribe to my website, your name will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card to Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, OR your favorite big chain restaurant.
By subscribing, you’ll know when great blogs are posted, and when I have book news to share! Click HERE to subscribe now! 🙂 Do it now!
If you subscribed between August 21, 2018 (when I signed with my literary agent) and today (September 24, 2018), your name has already been entered in this contest!
2. 100palooza! COMMENT
If you’ve been a subscriber for a while, you’ve likely read and are familiar with several of the overcomer stories. You’ve already left a comment? THANK YOU! Even if you have, you can leave more comments. And be put in the drawing to win a great prize!
If you’re new to my site, you can scroll back through the blog posts and read each story. Or you can look to the right —–> and you’ll see a Categories side bar. Scroll through it to find stories in categories that interest you.
But in order to be put in the drawing for this prize, you MUST LEAVE a comment on any of the 100 blog posts.
You can post one comment and your name will go in the drawing once. Or you can post as many comments as you like, and I’ll put your name in the drawing for each comment.
The prize for this contest is a $25 gift card to Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, your favorite big chain restaurant, OR a hot off the press overcomer t-shirt ($25 value) in white, pink, or lavender!
3. 100palooza! SHARE
The adage “sharing is caring” couldn’t be more true when it comes to getting the word out. For this contest, please share this 100palooza! blog post or any of the other 99 blog posts on your social media. You must tag my name and melonybrown.com so I will get an alert to put your name in the drawing.
Please write a comment on your share so those who see it will understand what it is. For example: Prizes and giveaways on my friend Melony Brown’s website! Check it out!
Again, you may share as many blog posts as you like. For each share, I’ll put your name in a drawing for a $25 gift card to Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, your favorite big chain restaurant, OR an overcomer t-shirt in white, pink, or lavender!
BONUS PRIZES!
