Twitter Giveaway – Acer Aspire Netbook (and more)

by Michelle MacPhearson

To celebrate the successful launch of Crowd Mountain, I’m announcing a new Twitter contest with some great prizes anyone can use and enjoy! It’s super easy to enter:

HOW TO ENTER

1. Follow @MichelleM (that’s me) on Twitter

2. Tweet this to your friends: I just entered to win an Acer netbook – follow @MichelleM & retweet to enter too! http://is.gd/oD1E

CLICK HERE to send the Tweet out to your Twitter friends automatically.

The giveaway ends March 31, 2009 at midnight PST. Three winners will be picked at random (one for each prize) and notified via Twitter DM. If notified, you will have 24 hours to respond and claim your prize, at which point it will be given to another contestant.

PRIZES

For prizes, I’ve chosen a few of my “favorite things” (queue Oprah theme music). These are handpicked, items that I own, adore, love, learn from and use.

Acer Aspire One 8.9-Inch Netbook: This Model comes with Windows XP, a 160 gig harddrive (unlike some of the netbooks out there – hello Dell? – you can actually store a few files or programs on it) and the 6-cell battery, so it’ll run for about 5.5 hours (what a netbook is for – being able to work with it on-the-go and not charge it up all the time). Of course it’s got wireless and USB ports and whatnot, and has consistently been among the top performing netbooks by review sites.

Snowball USB Microphone: I replaced my old, $14 mic with this model about 2 months ago and love the sound quality. Plus it looks cool – and there’s something to be said about cool looking equipment! It definitely gets comments from anyone who visits the office. Installs like a dream, has switches on the back to adjust the way it picks up sound – good for group vs. individual recording and adjusting for the sound qualities of the room you’re in.

Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat: This book (that I originally was referred to by Rich Schefren) has given me a kick in the arse – really! A must-read for ANYONE with their own business (internet marketing or not).

barney_mpl March 24, 2009 at 9:50 am: Let’s see … you want me to spam my friends and followers on Twitter in order to win a contest? No, thanks. I value them more than a piece of hardware, no matter now nifty.

I will say this, though … yours is the fourth offer I’ve had today to spam Twitter … but at least you offer a tangible 30 pieces of silver.

Make a good day …

Gary From TN. March 24, 2009 at 10:11 am: COOL!!! Hi Michelle, @GanderCo here. To be honest, I already have a SnowBall, but my wife really wants one of those acer things, she’s in college and writes a LOT.

Wendy Merritt March 24, 2009 at 10:19 am: Thanks for the great contest. I would love a new laptop…no wait…the snowball…okay, I would be happy to win any of them.

I appreciate all your great tweets too. You always have such helpful tips. I value your lack of “chatter” and your inclusion of useful information.

Barney…it’s called “marketing” and if you don’t like it just don’t send the Tweet.

Blessings,
Wendy

Anyway, I am still hoping.

Laurie Leask March 29, 2009 at 7:20 pm: Hi Michelle

I have just re-tweeted your promo.

Thank goodness I have been following you for yonks, because Twitter still has me as blocked from following. The ban has been on for 6+ months BUT I still have 5+ new followers per day. I am sorry that I cannot show my good manners and follow them in return.

Do you, or anybody else reading this, have any ideas how I can get to Follow again on Twitter?

Love your competition, more power to you girl, for thinking outside the circle.

Regards & Best Wishes to you.
Laurie

Michelle MacPhearson March 29, 2009 at 7:51 pm: @Laurie Leask: You’ve got to get rid of some of the people you are following to be able to follow more – or more poeple have to follow you to be able to follow more. They have a ratio, once you have a certain # of people you’re following, you can’t follow more until your # of followers catch up.
