Time vs Opportunity vs Odds

Posted on: May 10th, 2013 by carolyn

survey

One of the Frequently Asked Question I get is, “Should I fill in surveys for opportunities to win?”   My response is, “Yes and no.”  WHAT?!

This is where one must look at the time it takes to complete the survey versus the prize being offering combined with the odds of winning.  If the survey is fairly short, fill it out, AND if the prize is amazing, fill it out, AND if your odds of winning are good, fill it out.

One of the keys to winning is to fill out the maximum amount of entries in the shortest amount of time, therefore if one of the components of filling out a survey is not balanced, skip it.  You could potentially enter dozens of sweepstakes in the time it would take you to complete one survey with poor odds of winning and a mediocre prize.

I recently blogged; Win a $500 Prize of Your Choice!!  This is survey contest fits all the qualifications I spoke of above.  It only takes a few minutes to complete, the prizes are great and the odds are good (as you can come back each week for your chance to win).

I am 46 and currently take off my glasses to read.  I didn’t think I needed readers, but for the review I requested their  lowest strength +1.00.  Upon opening the box I discovered the above photo of the women’s set does not do the glasses justice.  They are more beautiful, colourful, translucent, etc. than the image depicts.  They are also lightweight.

canale originals

You may remember this giveaway from 2010: Win a Bracelet-Mate!  Canale Originals are the original creators of purseless purse.  It isn’t a wristlet, but a wallet you hide on the inside of your wrist.  The jeweled straps make it seem you are only wearing a bracelet.  It is such a clever design they have 17 patents pending.  AND, they are hosting another giveaway with the Contest Queen!!

For an updated review, they asked me to measure my wrist 1″ up from from the bone.  I stated my wrist was 7″.  When the Bracelet-Mate arrived it was too big.  Be very careful when measuring your wrist.  As they say in carpentry; measure twice, cut once, so in this case measure twice, order once. (Size Chart)  However big, it is a beautiful purse and the beaded cellphone bag I received was an unexpected surprise.  (more…)

WINNING WEDNESDAYWIN a Bottle of Krill Oil!

Posted on: April 10th, 2013 by carolyn

DISCLAIMER: Everest Nutrition provided me with a free bottle of Krill Oil review, and I was under no obligation to review it if I so chose.  Nor was I under any obligation to write a positive review or sponsor a giveaway in return for the free product.

When I write a review I always want to give an honest yet fair opinion of the product or service.  I realized once I agreed to do the product review and giveaway for Everest Nutrition I was probably not the best person to do a review.  Here’s why …
