Winners of the $380 Birthday Thanksgiving Giveaway Event

I apologize for the late announcement of winners for our $380 Birthday Thanksgiving Giveaway Event. Before we announce the winners, on behalf of Mommy Ruby, I would like to thank all those who joined for making our first Giveaway event a success. We truly appreciate all your support and patience.

To all the participants, we hope that you had fun in joining as much as we had fun hosting it. As a tip, we will be having more Giveaways soon so we don’t recommend unfollowing or unsubscribing to GFC, Facebook or Twitter. In staying as a follower, joining the next giveaway will be a breeze for you because you no longer have any tasks to do (wink wink) and just need to fill up the rafflecopter form for your entries.

To those who will unfollow or unsubscribe, we cannot force you not to. You may still do so if you wish. However, we do try to keep track of those who do, and some even have a list for tracking. Why is there a list? A network of people who do giveaways recently had an issue that some who joined immediately unfollow or unsubscribe when they do not win and then follow again when there is another giveaway open on the same blog, then repeats the process every time.

Although it may not matter to you, it does hurt the blog owner when someone unfollows just because they didn’t win.  This is why some of the blog owners are now thinking of ways on how to reward or give more chances to their loyal followers in their next giveaway, as well as strive to  make their content more inspiring, interesting or entertaining to their readers.

So without further ado, the winners are:
Winners are:
$100 – Teressa Oliver
$100 – Ane Fallarme

$60 – Dhadha G.
$60 – Cielo

$30 – Susan Heim
$30 – Jasmine1485

Below is the same code for Rafflecopter, announcing the winners.


There is Money in Blogging

When I gave up everything for my pregnancy in 2008, I didn’t know that my affair with the internet would get me this far. Being alone in the house 5 days a week, thinking of everything about my pregnancy made me depend on the internet for a lot of research. I didn’t follow ALL of them, mind you, but I did meet a lot of interesting people along the way.

The first group I met were a group of moms (and 1 dad) who were very active in a parenting site. After having the chance to meet with them after 2 months, I got close to one of the moms, Nicquee of nicquee.com and it was from her that I learned about blogging.

We both started out almost at the same time but she taught me the basics, where to sign up for free accounts, templates, html rules, troubleshooting etc. Months passed and I got used to making my blog as my diary when she mentioned that it was possible to make money blogging. Slowly she taught me leads on sites where we can earn a little extra for ourselves until eventually we both tried to make our blogs better to get more opportunities.

At this time, I don’t think I can say I earn a lot. But the point is, I do earn… from home and that’s while I’m looking after my little girl. I’m really thankful I got into blogging because aside from earning, it’s also an avenue for me to share my thoughts, post my rants or raves and most especially, it’s where I met the coolest people in the world, my mommy network.

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.
