Winners of the SECOND $700 in 7 Days Social Giveaway

Thanks to all of those who entered my SECOND $700 In 7 Days” Social Giveaway” … if you didn’t enter, or win a prize, then you MAY get one more chance: I’m thinking about running one more similar contest before Christmas.

I’ll tell you the reasons why in due course, but if you’re familiar with marketing, I’m kind of running some very expensive (for me) A/B split marketing tests for my ‘Top Secret Project’ …

Which brings me to our lucky five winners:

1st Prize of $350 cash (as selected by Random.org) goes to Marilyn (user name = mnihill) … congratulations!!

2nd Prize of $150 cash (for referring Marilyn to the contest) goes to Barbara (user name = barbara4)

3rd Prize of $100 cash (for referring Barbara to the contest) goes to Trisha (user name = twag700)

So, here’s how it worked: Trisha entered the contest after reading my announcement post and invited some friends to enter – and some of those friends invited their own friends. One of those ‘friends of friends’ was lucky enough to win the first prize, so Trisha won a 3rd prize for indirectly referring her. Barbara won second prize because she actually did refer the lucky winner!

Since that accounted for only $600 of the $700 that I promised, I did a separate draw for the $100 left, so here’s who won that:

4thPrize of $50 cash (as selected by Random.org) goes to Michael (user name = mdralph)

… since nobody referred Michael to the contest, I did one more random draw for the 5th – and, final – winner:

5th Prize of $50 cash (as selected by Random.org) goes to Marie (user name = lwarren26).

Congratulations to the winners: please contact me [ajc AT 7million7years DOT com], using the e-mails that you provided when you entered and either send me a PayPal invoice for the prize that you won (apparently, this is very easy to do and makes sure that I don’t make any mistakes and pay the wrong person!). If I don’t receive the required confirmations by the end of the week, your prize goes to charity!

Now, that you see how easy it is, I hope that you will enter the next contest, which – I promise – will be even easier next time (I just spent $270 to try yet another software contest package!)…

AJC.

P.S. Looks like names beginning with ‘M’ scooped more than half the pool 🙂

Speaking of the ‘more bug’ I want MORE people to enter my latest contest … so far, I have given away $1,300 in cash and gift cards as I test a new project that I’m working on.

My financial pain is your cash gain 😉

It’s a new kind of contest and I’m running this as an experiment. NEW because not only do you get a chance to win the $350 First Prize (that’s CASH, transfered straight to your PayPal account), but …

Once you have entered, simply let your friends know the User Name that you chose, and when they enter (using your user name) and win a prize, so do you!

Now, here comes the twist: when they enter they will be able to invite their own friends, not only will they win a prize if one of their friends wins a prize, but SO WILL YOU.

Your chances of winning a prize (of $50, $150, or even the $350 first prize … all in cash) can easily be 7, 15, 27, 56, … or MORE than in any other type of giveaway contest!

Instructions: Choose a short User Name (eg “Steve12”) for yourself and enter AJC42 as the user name for the person who referred you (unless you already have a user name from a friend who referred you) then send this link http://7million7years.com/contest/ (+ your User Name instead of mine) to all of your friends (via e-mail, Twitter, and FaceBook) and let the fun begin!

After you sign up to join the $700 In 7 Days Giveaway, send (e-mail, tweet, facebook, etc.) your friends this invitation link: http://7million7years.com/contest/ + your User Name

Example: “I joined the $700 in 7 Days Giveaway, you can join too by visiting http://balloon.mit.edu (my User Name is Betty16)”

If anyone you invite, or anyone they invite, or anyone they invite (…and so on) win money, then so will you!

We’re giving $350 to the first User Name that we pull out of the hat, but that’s not all — we’re also giving $150 to the person who invited them. Then we’re giving $100 to whoever invited the inviter, and $50 to whoever invited them, and so on… until we have given away the ENTIRE $700!

It might play out like this:

Angie joins the giveaway contest, selecting the User Name “Angie52”. http://7million7years.com/contest/.

Angie then e-mails the link http://7million7years.com/contest/ + her User Name to Bob, who uses it to also join the contest. Bob enters, choosing the User Name “Bob11”, who posts the link http://7million7years.com/contest/ + his User Name to Facebook. His friend Charlie sees it, signs up, then twitters about http://7million7years.com/contest/ + her User Name. Dave clicks the link and uses Charlie’s User Name to join…

… then his name is pulled out of the hat!

Dave is the person who wins the main prize. Once that happens, we send Dave $350 via payPal for winning. Charlie gets $150 for inviting Dave, Bob gets $100 for inviting Charlie, and Angie gets $50 for inviting Bob. The remaining $50 is donated to charity.

Easy and fun to win!

Then, if you also want to multiply your chances of winning a cash prize of at least $50 simply send this link http://7million7years.com/contest/ + your User Name to all of your friends … the rest happens automatically!

To make things a bit more exciting for my long-suffering readers, I have been running some contests and giveaways on this site. So far, and in just the last month or so, I have given away 7 Apple Gift Cards totaling $600 and I’ve given away another $700 in cash!

Now, I have the hankering to give away another $700 and I will announce exactly how and when I intend to do that this week … so, stay tuned!

The contest is entirely free to enter … NO gotchas!

So, why am I simply throwing away $700 cash?

Well, I like the number ‘7’ (this site is called $7 million 7 years) … but, it’s really to test an idea that I have for my new startup venture! I do a lot of “off the wall” stuff on this site, and I like to share what I’m up to with my readers.

This time, I want to see how many people join, what the referral sources are, and how active various readers are in promoting this contest, and so on.

My experiment is your gain … all you need to do is ENTER for your chance to win $700 cash in just 7 days, when I announce the winner exactly one week from today! Who knows, it might even be you!

Optional: For even more chances to win, get your links (below) and promote the contest to earn more points (each point = 1 entry). You can promote via Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and you are even rewarded with more points (‘points’ = more chances to win) for leaving comments here.

Good Luck!
