Christmas Contest: Win an 8GB iPod Nano (Or Two)

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 | Contests with 84 Comments

Yes, a contest is finally here! It’s not the big contest I’m going for to celebrate my 1,000+ RSS Feed subscribers but since it’s December and the fact that Christmas is almost here (and my birthday), I figured I would get some lucky person one of the cool gadgets… an 8GB iPod Nano! And if the contest reaches more than 200 contestants that enter, someone else will win one too! That means, there’s a chance to win TWO 8GB iPod Nanos!

The Prize

8GB iPod Nano – The newest Nano comes with some cool features that includes a video camera, FM radio tuner, pedometer to count your steps, built-in mic to record voice memos or record a lecture, and of course it holds up to 2,000 songs or 8 hours of video!

Of course, there’s a chance to win another 8GB iPod Nano… keep reading!

How to Enter

There will be various ways to enter which you can accumulate points for (winner will be chosen at random):

1. Subscribe to RSS Feeds via e-mail AND comment – 1 point Simply subscribe to my RSS Feeds via e-mail, confirm and comment below. If you are already a subscriber, all you have to do is comment below with the same e-mail you subscribed with.

This way it’ll cross off a lot of people who subscribe and don’t pay attention to these posts. Plus, it’ll finally give a LOT of people a chance to finally comment here after being an active subscriber and never saying a word here. :D

2. Blog about the contest AND include links – 5 points Just write up a quick post on your blog about the contest but make sure you include these following links:

- Internet Entrepreneur
- iBlogtoBlog
- Contest Post

For those of you guys that will probably question, the second link is one of my other sites. :D Hey, it might potentially sponsor the second nano. :P

3. Donate to a Charity (show proof) – 5 points If you have donated or contributed to a charity of any sort in 2009 and you can show some sort of proof then you deserve more than just an iPod. I’m sure no one donates to charities to try to win something but I figured I’d at least give back to give you guys a chance to win an iPod for your generosity.

For the proof, if you have some sort of receipt (which you should be getting for tax purposes :D ) or something equivalent, send it on over and let me know. And please don’t try to lie or game the contest because that’s just plain shameful. :P

Chance for a Second iPod Nano

There is a chance to win a second 8GB iPod Nano but we have to have at least 200 contestants to enter this contest. That means if 200 of my e-mail subscribers decide to simply comment with a valid subscribed e-mail, or say 200 different people decide to post about the contest or some mix, then I will be giving out an additional iPod Nano!

Of course, I’m not counting total points, I’m counting strictly individual contestants. Please keep that in mind!

Deadline and Additional Info


The contest will end on December 23rd at noon Eastern Time. No late entries will be accepted!
I’m hoping to get a winner picked that same day but if not, the following day.

The drawing will be picked at random and winners will have to contact me within 48 hours so I can try to get it to you.

Unfortunately, if you do not live in the United States, a cash equivalent will have to substitute for the iPod. Of course, if you prefer just taking the cash option, $150 will be sent via Paypal instead.

Also, if you would like to donate anything worthy of giving out for Christmas, feel free to contact me. It’s all about giving back and if people have donated to charities, don’t you think they deserve to try to win something to? :D

I think I covered everything, if not, I’ll update this post.

Good luck!

    Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, Jay!
    I thought I’d bump up the comment count for someone to snag that second iPod Nano.
    BTW – if you think people don’t donate to win prizes, you need to check out http://www.fatcyclist.com this week.

    Well, what if I just skip all these steps you’ve mentioned in the article and simply come and snag the Ipod Nano from your hands? And then run away with it.. Sounds like a plan to me! :D

    PS: Happy Birthday, Jay and wishing you some awesome holidays! I’ve already told Santa to bring you a present ;) .

    Hi,

    1) Subscribed with the same e-mail of this comment
    2) Blogged (http://contestitalia.co.cc/contest/ipod-nano-gratis-da-datmoney/)

    So, my total points is 6.

    3) Sorry for my bad english, but I would like to tell you that the charity shouldn’t be a pretext to win something.
    A person decides to donate to charity because he feels it in his heart and not driven by someone or something.
    I hope you understand this!

    3. I donated many charities but i cannot give you the proof because of security purposes. I almost put the receipts from PayPal but i deleted since it is not proper to put those stuff anyway. if you want to help you can help.

    Anyway I also host a giveaway in which this is going to a good cause. Can you have a time and share? http://mommyko.com/2009/12/for-cause-giveaway.html

    Hey Jay ~ Congrats and thanks for the great contest! I’m a subscriber and I’ve donated to several charities this year. One you can see on the scroll here: http://web.alsa.org/site/TR?px=1805083&fr_id=5800&pg=personal (this is my husband’s aunt who passed away from ALS *cry*). I also donate to the 12for12k and I’ll send you those receipts as well (if I can find you email – I know I have it LOL). Merry Christmas to all and *huGs* to you! Suzanne
