My first contest!!
Friday, November 7, 2008 –I’ve decided to have a contest. I need help, and I’m willing to give out a prize for it.
Winner will get a $25 Starbucks gift card. (If you don’t have a Starbucks near you, I will send you a $25 gift card to somewhere else so don’t let that be a reason not to enter.)
Entering is pretty simple, but possibly a little time consuming.
1. Go to Guidespot.com and create an account.
2. Go to my Guidespot.com Author Page and favorite me by clicking the link that says “add JessicaJoy to your favorites” right underneath the About Me paragraph.
3. Comment on one of my guides OR add a contribution to one of my community guides. (Thumbs Up on my guides would be appreciated as well, but not mandatory as I have no way of tracking them.)
4. Link one of my guides (or my author page) somewhere on your blog or twitter about it. (I’m totally okay with you telling your readers that you are linking my guide for a contest!)
5. Leave me a comment HERE telling me your Guidespot.com username and where you linked one of my guides.
BONUS: If you write 3 or more comments/contributions on my guides I will enter you twice!
Easy enough?
This contest will end NOVEMBER 21ST! I will announce the winner the following Monday.
I’m doing this party because I am trying to give my guidespot.com guides some exposure, but also because I know that once you sign up for guidespot.com you will become addicted and love it and make awesome guides for all of us to read and enjoy. So you’re really doing me AND yourself a favor. Plus, you might win some free coffee!

Thanks for the comment. I agree that it is great to see shows, but I can hardly ever afford them either. In the last few months, I’ve spent like $300 on shows. I’ve seen Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray,Annie,Oliver!, and Beauty and the Beast so far. I really want to see more. As for5 Wicked….do it! No matter what the cost…it is a great show.
I’ll have to visit your GuidePost thing and add you and whatnot.

I should have done this before I had submitted the comment, but my username is TylerWrites (not copying your site name…just what I call my website for my play/musical writing). I posted on my blog that you posted at, and I commented on the Chicago winter one.

Not many bloggers have jumped on the Guidespot train just yet. I tried a contest as well. Slowly they’re making their way over there though.
I hope more people enter your contest. I love your guides!

Hey Jess. My Guidespot user name is tmamone (http://www.guidespot.com/authors/tmamone), and I posted a link on my Twitter (http://twitter.com/tmamone).
Is Guidespot a paying gig? If so, I might have to start writing some guides.

I ♥ Starbucks!!

Hey, I just went through all of your guideposts and I’ve started writing some of my own!! So exciting. I thumbed up a few, and commented a few. I love Starbucks, but it’s okay if you give the gift card to someone else, I just enjoy reading your posts. :0) I’m planning on linking to your guidepost on my blog tonight as well, as a new favorite read. Hope you don’t mind.
