The Rafflecopter Cash Giveaway Project is a free, ongoing, bi-monthly giveaway that is open to all personal finance and money bloggers. Each giveaway has a different personal finance theme. The goal of the giveaway is to encourage blog readers to find ways to improve their finances to help them reach their financial goal as quickly as possible while also giving them a chance to win a bit of money.

Cost

There is no cost involved. Giveaway prizes are provided by SavingAdvice and/or sponsors.

How It Works

As a blogger, you will write a post on the theme for that particular giveaway and post it on your blog on the designated day with the rafflecopter code for the contest. As a participant, you can choose one of your social media accounts (RSS, Facebook, twitter, Pinterest, etc) for people to join as an entry into the giveaway.

Since there are a number of different blogs which will be hosting as part of this giveaway project, it’s an easy and effective way for you to increase your social media followers. As an example from past giveaways, blogs can expect to receive and minimum of 100+ new Facebook likes and similar for other social network sites. This ends up being a win-win situation for everybody involved:

1. You get to giveaway some money to your readers without having to use any of your own money.

2. You get a chance to increase the social media readership for your blog at no cost to you.

3. Your readers have a chance to win a little bit of money to help with their financial goals.

4. Your readers get to read a quality post about a personal finance topic and are encouraged to comment.

If you have a blog and are interested in participating or have any questions, please feel free to email me at anytime at info@savingadvice.com or leave a comment below.

Most people who are trying to get their personal finances in order are well aware of the debt snowball. This is basically a way to pay down your debt in a quick and efficient way. What less people are aware of is the debt snowflake. The debt snowflake is basically finding small income opportunities and streams which can be done in your spare time to add directly to reducing your debt. While each of these snowflakes may be small in amount, by doing as many as you can over a long period of time, they add up to a significant amount that can be placed toward your debt.

It’s with the debt snowflake in mind that we have decided to try a new giveaway. Instead of offering a single large prize, we decided to feature 10 smaller prizes of five dollars in cash through PayPal (or if you do not have PayPal, buy gift card). The five dollars in itself isn’t going to make a substantial difference in your debt (just like a single snowflake isn’t going to cover the ground), but if you use it as an impetus to look for other debt snowflake opportunities (which we hope you will most definitely do), you may find that you have found a new way to speed up your debt reduction journey.

We have put together this giveaway on a trial basis. That is, if there is interest from the readers and they believe that this is a good idea, we have some sponsors that are interested in doing this on a regular basis (a minimum of two times a month). On the other hand, if this is something that few find worth their time or effort, then Nate and I would rather spend our energy working on other projects that the members here would find more beneficial. We are therefore hoping that you are willing to share your candid opinion on whether you think this would be a good idea moving forward in the comments.
