Getting back to basics


So awhile ago I wanted to reward the most active members on my blog by giving out codes, stardollars and writing jobs! Remember this? Well unfortunately life got in the way and I never got around to it...not to mention stardoll kept messeing me up with the codes... Which arrrggh I see they have changed again in the USA since I have been gone! WTF $6.99 for 1 month Superstar and the phone codes I used for prizes now only give 2 weeks instead of a month superstar. This is why I have vowed to spend less on here!!!

Well anyway, I want to re-institute it. Here are the basics:


The top 10 will receive stardollars, but there's more...

The top 30 active commenters will go into a raffle! I will choose anywhere from 1 to 5 winners depending on the level of participation.

So, more chances to win for those of you who deserve it! The best thing is that you can win back to back! You may never need to buy superstar again. lol.

As more and more people participate, I may increase the number of people in the raffle and the number of prizes I give out!

We will also be re-starting our BEST CONTRIBUTOR/MEMBER OF THE MONTH award.

They will win superstar for 1 month and become a blog writer for 1 month if interested.

This person is someone who has been a loyal long time member and who constantly contributes to discussions, polls/comps and has good tips and ideas.


*The type of comments you make for all active member comps will be taken into consideration not just the amount!
**********************************************
I felt it important to start it now as posts as well as contribution is down. I hope this will inspire many of our loyal readers to make an effort to get involved again. So we'll see how this goes.

These results will be announced on Feb 1st. So you still have a little time to comment and be included!

  1. Good idea, I think most people had forgotten that. I always mean to post a reply, but then I end up reading the rest and forgetting :/
    I think this is a good way to keep people active in the blog, and a good way to reward them. =)

  4. You know, today I was thinking of that as well !
    And the very first post you wrote about this made me comment on every post. And now I do it without even thinking about the 'comp'. I do it because you deserve to know what we think about the topics and about the blog in general.
    With our opinions you can get better and better and increasing the quality of the blog, which is high already.
    But thanks for not forgetting about the loyal readers, Jenna!

  8. I did give several holiday giveaways away ..they just weren't announced. I wanted it to be private.

    I didn't give as many as I wanted because Stardoll had changed the payment system again.

  23. Its such a great idea to have a competiton like this! I also agree that stardoll has gotten out of hand with everything, such as raising the prices of superstar memberships! I can no longer find any codes in store. Could you possibly tell me where i could get a code?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yay, this is great. I regret not being more active before, but I promise I'll comment more and more. :)

  27. I love this idea and i really hope it's possible that i can be chosen as one of the winners...

    I read ur blog every single day and im on here more than im on stardoll...

    And i haven't been finding stardoll as good because i haven't had any money to buy anything, so i really hope i am lucky enough to win.
