This blog has its tail between its legs!
I decided it was time to launch ‘See a Man About a Blog’ on Facebook so set up a page in order to share my knowledge and expertise there. Having helped others set up Facebook pages and knowing that it can take time to attract likes I decided that my best strategy was to have a competition where the first 50 people who liked me would go into a hat and one lucky winner would receive a 1-hour blog consultation.
The reason for having my tail between my legs is that I subsequently found out that using any of the Facebook features, such as the like button, adding comments, posting pictures,etc, to enter someone into a competition is against their terms of service and they could quite legitimately take down the page.
So my strategy was blown out of the water and I will now need to take that competition onto a different platform. So a big apology to those who have liked me already on Facebook as I have now migrated the competition to Twitter.
How to Win?
This will be a Twitter exclusive contest. To win you just need to follow me on Twitter and I will pick a winner randomly to win a 1-hr blogging consultation from my first 100 followers.
Note: for those of you who liked me on Facebook and do not have a Twitter account, please send me a message via my contact form and I will enter you into the draw.
I will either contact you via email or by direct message to advise if you have won.
Of course you can still like See a Man About a Blog on Facebook if you wish to get my tail wagging again!
Best wishes and good luck in the competition
Andy
