I have newfound respect for sites that regularly do coordinated giveaway weeks. Midway through the first one I can you tell you it’s a lot of work from finding the companies to participate to promoting for maximum entries.
It’s been a wonderful learning experience and the best part is getting to send winner emails to people! Giving really is more fun than receiving.
