We Have A Contest Winner!

January 30, 2021

We announce our winner for this week and identify the prize they picked. The contest for next week is up and running so feel free to get an early start on getting entered for next Fridays contest: https://thetrashbandit.com/enter-to-win/

In this video we also talk a little bit about the plugin we use to manage the contest called, Rafflepress. This is a plugin for the content management system we use to run this site called WordPress. We opted for the lifetime license option for Rafflepress so that we only ever have a 1 time out of pocket fee, but then have lifetime updates and support for the tool.

We are already seeing good results from using Rafflepress and we have note even explored all the options it has yet. In this weeks contest that I linked above we are requiring the refer a friend option as the first action. We are hoping that this creates somewhat of a viral sharing effect on facebook and twitter that brings more attention to our brand.

So if running contests is something you are interested in and you are using or plan to use WordPress, Rafflepress is a great option.
