It's been two weeks since I last did a status update on my reblog lottery. There were a few goals I had for this, and I thought it best to document the progress so far, as a way to measure its overall success, since I'm running it through the end of December. We've got a little less than two weeks left before I announce the winner! Afterwards, I'll do a summary post to look back at it all.
The Prize
The prize is either a $1 Goldback or 6 HBD. The winner gets to choose. This way, the prize appeals to a broader range of people who may not want a Goldback, but can certainly use the HBD to save, convert to Hive, etc.

The Rules
I kept the rules simple.
You have to follow me for any reblogs to count. In theory, this should encourage continued readership.
You get one entry per reblog, so long as it has "Reblog lottery" in the title and isn’t 7 days or older. In theory, this helps get my content out to others while it's still new. This makes sure those who comment also get their share of the rewards and we all benefit.
And lastly, no bots.
How It Started
I had 19 followers before starting this adventure. Not bad considering I just started posting at the end of October. In my last update, I was at 65 followers. As of this post I'm now at 84 followers.
I know it may not seem like much, but I'd say that's awesome! The rate at which I've been gaining new followers only slightly dipped. I seem to be holding steady adding an average of 10 new followers per week.
Once this contest is over, my plan is to switch over to a weekly contest where people just need to reblog the post in order to have a chance to win some HSBI units. I think it's far easier and also does more to benefit those who are creating.
Thanks for checking in with me on this fun little experiment. We're almost to the end!
Don't forget to follow me and reblog this for an entry. 😉
