We Love Supplies Giveaway Details:
1.  CHOOSE A PRIZE

Give one of the following prizes.  Cost of prizes $20 – $40 (click on links below)

  • CRAYONS – give 24 boxes of crayons (2 sets)

2.  PROMOTION – ADVERTISEMENT

  • FACEBOOK AD 

Send $25 paypal(teach123.school@gmail.com)   The ad will be a blog post – different post – with a link at the bottom to everyone’s blog post.  I will put the links on the blog post in the order that I receive the money. Money is due by 1 p.m. on April 28th .

3.  BLOG POST FORMAT
Blog posts with giveaways typically do not have as many views if you put the giveaway graphic first because everyone feed is flooded with the same graphic.
A giveaway is the time to write a top quality post because your posts will potentially be seen by new teachers since you are collaborating with a group.  It’s a wonderful time to show your credibility in your niche to some new readers.
There are graphics in the EDITABLE file that you will use to make your graphics for your blog post.  Insert this as a your background (Powerpoint) and add text, graphic/picture.
Give a link to a free product.

At the end of the post, you will announce the giveaway with the following:
