I go to New York for a couple of days and you guys forget about me and stop voting?:-( I am of course teasing I wanted to remind the veterans to vote and also to let all the new I Heart The Marters know about this contest I have entered. Please vote for me daily, there are only about 15 days left in the first round of the contest! Thanks so Much!! Click HERE to Vote!
Here is the deal:
CheapSally.com has sponsored a contest to give a blogger a part time job for 2012 that pays A LOT of money. I feel really weird in this economy asking people to help get me a part time job for $100,000. It would really help so that both Tiffany and I could work on our blogs and on bringing you all the best deals full time. It is a very long contest and you guys can only help me by voting with the first two steps of the contest. The last leg of the contest is completely up to me to prove that I can find the best deals. I hope I don’t let you down. Here are the contest rules:
Round 1 – Initial Voting Period
September 1—October 31. Contestants may receive one vote per day from the same person; however, that voter can vote every day for the same person if they like. Voters may only vote for 1 contestant per state per day. Contestants are encouraged to share their profile page with friends, family, followers and anyone else they can reach out to in order to get as many votes as possible. The top five vote-getters from each state move on to Round 2.
Round 2 – Top Five Per State Voting Period
November 1—November 28. Round 1 voting rules apply and the votes will be reset to zero at the beginning of round 2 to give each of the 5 contestants in a given state an equal shot at getting to round 3. To celebrate two of the biggest shopping days of the year, each vote received on Black Friday (11/25) and Cyber Monday (11/28) will count as two votes. This is where the competition is really going to heat up, with the 5 vote-leaders from each state vying for the most votes. Contestants should think creatively to promote themselves to voters. The top vote-getter in each state moves on to Round 3.
Round 3 – Online Sourcing Contest
December 1—December 21. Cheap Sally will announce a specific product, one for each day. Beginning at 12:00am EST, contestants have 24 hours to shop for that product using Cheap Sally’s coupons. Points will be award as follows:
One point for each dollar below the product’s highest retail price submitted by a contestant;
One point for each dollar saved with a Cheap Sally coupon. Feel free to submit any coupons you find to the site to help your cause.
Keep reminding us, we are busy too!@
Voted, You and your wife’s stories were great to hear today! Good Luck!
I vote for ya every single day!!
I agree with Tina…. next round especially …. we want to see you win Paul but we do forget so be sure to throw the link up a couple times/day … we can see how this is important – ty
Are you really in 1st place for state and overall?? 🙂
Just voted for you! You were in first place when I voted. My husband and I check your site daily! You’re the best! Good luck!!!
can you put the reminder banner that is to the right in the center of your page? I forget some days.
Enough already….You say you won’t “beg” but you keep up with these reminders enough to constitute begging.
i appreciate all the deals you post, but enough is enough in my opinion with the self serving 100,000 salary you’re seeking.
Natale, I agree but the people I am competing with put it in EVERY Single post on their website. I am trying to keep it to one post a week or less and a mention on Facebook every couple of days. Sorry it is annoying to you.
I HARDLY think that him putting up a nice reminder once per week is “begging”. I’ve been to other blogs during any kind of contest, and it seems like that’s ALL you see everyday. So Paul, keep up the friendly reminders! Your blog is, by far, my favorite. You go out of your way to find the good deals and include as much information as possible, and I LOVE how you and your wife are so honest about coupons. You don’t try to be sneaky about using a coupon for other than it’s intended purpose. I love that you look out for us!! Thanks again!! 🙂
I sure hope you win!!! Good luck Paul!! By the way you can annoy us all you want. :O) Thank you for all you do for us and I wanna see you win so we can all benefit more from your blog. YOU ARE AWWWWWESOME!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!! Remind us on the emails you send out. I, like you, am a pretty busy parent. I have 5 kids to keep up with and a full time job. I would LOVE to see you win. Good luck. And keep up the good work. If not for you and your wife I know I would miss out on some great deals!!!
THANK YOU for the reminders! you have helped me save so much money while we have only one income (a teacher’s, at that!)
Natale, I’ll read your post the way I respond to some of my sons’ ungrateful comments (changing the words to say what I think I should hear). What I heard you say: “Thanks for all the great tips, Paul. You’ve saved me a lot of money. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put in to helping others out when you didn’t have to. I don’t mind voting for you if it helps YOU out.” 🙂
Voted!!
