As most of you guys know, I held my first contest that ran through the month of February and quite honestly, it didn’t go as well as I thought it would have.

I said I was going to put $0.50 and 20 Entrecard credits into a pot for EACH subscriber. My best day was at 179 which is a 52 subscriber increase. Yup, definitely not that good. But don’t worry, for you guys that subscribed via e-mail and/or blogged about my contest, I am rewarding five winners rather than the three I originally promised. And I’m giving away a little more than promised as well!

How did I determine the winner? Well, basically it was who I liked the most. LOL! No, just playing. I basically entered every single person who was subscribed to my blog via e-mail and who posted about my contest on an Excel sheet. And yes, people who entered correctly were awarded two entries and those who subscribed (or already subscribed) was awarded one entry.

Each person was given 1-3 entries and then I went to random.org and randomly selected five winners.

Below are the winners (based on the first part of their e-mail addresses and/or blog name):

First place: $20.00 USD and 500 Entrecard credits goes to reycovirt@…
Second place: $10.00 USD and 350 Entrecrd credits goes to Kauai_coast@…
Third Place: Option of $10.00 USD or a custom banner design (worth $21.00 USD) goes to Forums@play…
Fourth place: Custom banner design goes to Justanotherbloggery.blogspot.com
Fifth place: 250 Entrecard credits goes to clintpee@…

I have contacted everyone either by leaving a comment on their blog or e-mailing them directly. Also, if you did not confirm your e-mail, you were not entered into the contest.

If you noticed, our winners were awarded a little more than promised. I mean, $26.00 USD total into a pot? That’s not that good. So, I decided to spread out the prizes a little more.

So, congratulations to the winners! Now, no need to subscribe… just yet. Besides getting great tips delivered right to you, by being subscribed to my RSS Feeds via e-mail, you will automatically be entered into any contest I hold in the near future.

Now, let’s get to the second week of the DM Weekly Giveaway… the winner of the week for leaving a simple comment goes to Tamera of http://www.pentad.no/

If you are a winner, please send me an e-mail at whojaybe@datmoney.com thanks!
