I had to announce to the world that I just won!

Randy Smith ran a competition to get traffic to his blog.  To enter the competition I had to complete the sentence:

My Favourite Freebie I Got From Randy Smith is …

Now, usually only the established marketeers can win competitions to generate traffic and a newbie like me is left out in the cold.  But Randy, being mindful of his roots in getting started himself, allocated a prize for the person sending the most traffic and then some prizes for which names would be drawn out of a hat! So that meant the I only had to be “in it” to have a chance of winning.

I posted on Facebook and Twitter  – that my favourite freebie is Randy’s package of WordPress themes.  I don’t know how many of my friends and followers went to Randy’s site to look for freebies but a well-deserving Keith Purkiss won the competition for generating traffic.  However my name was one of the first 2 out of the hat (well, Randy admits it was a mug, but the result is the same!)  and so I am now the proud owner of a Camtasia Licence!

NOW I must really get on and work on my first ever “product” for which I was going to have to buy Camtasia… no excuses now!

Thank you, Randy, for running a competition that gave newbie marketeers a chance of winning such a great prize.
