For those of you that are new to the blogging world I thought I would write a post on how to enter my giveaways. It really is very simple to enter and there are many ways to enter and increase your odds of winning.
The first entry will always be something related to the product that was reviewed. I will put in the giveaway instructions how to complete your first entry. For example:
Go to Fresh Baby and tell me your favorite product.
You would then click on the Fresh Baby link and go to their site. Browse around and come back to my site. Click where it displays the number of comments below the post. For example:
Leave a comment…30 Comments
Then a pop up window will display all the comments. Scroll to the bottom and fill in your comment.
If the number of comments isn’t showing and instead all the comments are displayed on the page scroll to the bottom of the comments and click Post a comment
Then a pop up window will display all the comments. Scroll to the bottom and fill in your comment.
Then you will need to select your ID. Either sign into your google account or select another option. You may select Name/URL or Anonymous and that doesn’t require an account. Be sure to include your email address in the comment though so I can contact you if you win.
After you complete your first entry you will be eligible for additional entries. Usually I post the following extra ways to enter but please read each individual post for rules. You MUST leave a separate comment for each entry in order for them to count.
-Subscribe to my blog by email- Do this by entering your email address in the top right corner of my block and clicking subscribe. You will then receive a confirmation email that you will need to read and click on the link to confirm your subscription. You need to make sure to do this step in order for it to be a valid entry because I will confirm whether you are a subscriber or not. Once you have done this you will be able to use this entry in each of my giveaways. Simply leave a comment saying “I subscribe” You will now receive a daily email from my blog with the latest giveaways, deals and announcement of winners.
-Follow my blog-Simply click follow under follow my blog in the upper right hand column. It will then walk you through creating a google account which is free and easy. Once you do this leave a comment saying “I follow” Now this will get you an additional entry in each of my giveaways, all you have to do is leave a comment on each saying “I follow”
-Enter any of my other giveaways. Simply enter any or all of my giveaways and each one you enter gets you another entry. For example if I have 3 giveaways going on A, B and C. To gain an extra entry into giveaway A simply enter B and/or C. Come back and leave a comment saying I entered giveaway B. If you entered both also leave a comment saying I entered giveaway C. I hope this isn’t confusing. But simply put every contest you enter gets you an entry into all of the others once the first entry is completed.
-Blog about my giveaway-If you have a blog simply post about my giveaway with a link to it and come back and leave a comment saying “I blogged about your giveaway” and leave the link to your post.
-Grab my button-If you have a blog you may copy the html text under my button and add my button to your site. Leave a comment saying I have your button with the URL to your blog. If I also have event buttons you will get extra entries for grabbing those as well-read the rules on the post for how many entries you will get.
-Follow me on Twitter and Tweet about this giveaway-Go to Twitter and create an account if you don’t already have one. You may also click on my button on my site that says Follow me on Twitter. Once you have created your account Follow Minnesota Mama’s Must Haves and “Tweet” ie-comment on Twitter about my giveaway with a link to the giveaway. Come back and leave a comment saying “I follow on Twitter and I Tweeted” with the URL to your Tweet. You may do this daily, so that gives you an extra entry every day as long as you Tweet every day.
I hope this helps clear up any questions you may have. The more ways you enter the better your odds of winning are! I have some amazing giveaways coming up so be sure to subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out! (remember that gets you another entry in every giveaway too!)
Leave a comment or email me if you have any questions!

I'm glad you are finding this post helpful but please note
*You must leave your comment to enter a giveaway on the original post and not not on this post or it will not be counted!
*Please also include your email in your comment or I will have no way of contacting you if you win.
Thanks! Let me know if you ever have questions
Hi there. I have a question about grabbing buttons. I put your button on my blog
Does this mean I can get an extra entry for all of your giveaways, or just the one giveaway that I was entering when I added it?
thanks!

ChrisNY2-
Great question. Having my blog button will get you an extra entry into all of my giveaways that you enter.
If you also grabbed my baby shower bash event button that will get you extra entries into giveaways too-just read the post as to how many you will get-(one on non baby bash giveaways and three on baby bash giveaways!)
Hope this helps!
Thanks

Hi.
If i tweet about your giveaway everyday do I also have to post a comment on your site each day saying I tweeted?
Thanks.
Piccolina-
Great question. Yes you must leave the link to your tweet each day that you tweet. Please make sure and leave the direct link to the tweet and not the link to your twitter home page. If you don't know how to do this just ask and I will gladly explain. Thanks!
Sarah
If I have a google account can you contact me through that or do I need to also post my email address?
Hi Kate,
As long as you have a public blogger profile with your email on it then you don't need to leave your email in your entry. If you do not have a public profile I am unable to verify you following, email, etc and you would need to leave your email in your first entry. You don't need to leave it in each entry.

bellatay2@gmail.com. This site is brand new to me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I believe that I would have to get an additional job per child of mine ( I have 3 ) just to afford all of the wonderful things that I want for them!!!!! I look forward to digging into this site further and seeing what else I can find that I MUST have!
Fantastic car seats. The best feature to me is the space factor. Our current two car seats take up the entire back seat, no room for passengers. Like the rugby color to stay cool in heat, but the plum grabs me too.
