Their readership becomes enslaved, and the content suffers.<br /><br />It would be valid to differentiate between these cases.<br /><br />What a great idea, to explore this at length in an ebook!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187882173672281169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-61934903656142911342012-05-30T21:25:48.924+02:002012-05-30T21:25:48.924+02:00I always wonder what the value of the giveaway ite...I always wonder what the value of the giveaway item should be. I've never held a giveaway myself, but I send my product all over the US for giveaways and reviews. Sometimes, I feel like if the blogger has 5000+ followers, I should be giving away something with a higher value than what I give away on a blog with 500 followers.<br /><br />Also, what is your opinion on sending product to new bloggers? Do I step up and get them started, or do I pass and wait for them to have more followers?<br /><br />Lastly, I always feel conflicted sending product to bloggers who have strictly giveaway blogs, no other content aside from giveaways. On one hand, I feel like I am getting my name out there. On the other, I feel like every person who enters is only looking for a chance for something free, not someone who is genuinely interested in what I have. I am too lazy to enter giveaways of things I do not want/need, but I have seen such titles as "professional giveaway entrant" on Twitter, Facebook, and the like.<br /><br />This is such an awesome idea! I can't wait to read what you come up with!!!<br /><br />Steph<br />http://superskivvies.bizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-5506671484611960682012-05-30T18:21:58.735+02:002012-05-30T18:21:58.735+02:00What another fantastic and generous idea Sonya!

It really irritates me when I see a bunch of giveaways on the same blog that are blatantly used for getting more followers, and not for promoting the people who are doing the giving. They'll have 7 ways to enter the contest that involve following their blog or social media pages, and then one tiny thing at the bottom like, "Oh yeah, you can follow the artist on Etsy, too."<br /><br />I think a big section on this kind of etiquette would be a big help to blog land in general. :-)Paige @ Little Nostalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978050087934003216noreply@blogger.com
