One Month 125×125 Ad Spot Giveaways

All you need to do to be in the running is leave a comment as to why you think you should get free advertising – that simple. You can increase your chances of winning (2 extra entries) by referring people over here and getting them to leave a comment with your name as the referrer – they don’t even have to have entered into the draw themselves.

Entries close at midnight 31 December 2008. The winners will be randomly selected and announced on the 1st of January 2009. Make sure to come back them to see if you won and to claim your spot.

Box.net sent me a free 5GB account. I pretty much have my online and offline storage needs sorted which is why I am giving this away to one lucky subscriber. What do you get with a Box.net account?

How To Win

To be eligible for the prize you have to subscribe to Show Me The Money via Email (if you are already a subscriber you are automatically in the draw)

You can also do the following to increase your chances of winning:

If you have a site, share the Box.net free trial offer video with your readers by clicking the “add to site” button on the video below and let me know where you have put it up. Or, you can just let family and friends know about it by hitting the “share” button on the video. (5 entries)
