It's time to get ready for the next Tablet Time! In the past, we have given away an iPad2, 2 Kindle Fires, and right this moment we're giving away the all-new Barnes and Noble NOOK Tablet (if you're not a sponsoring blogger in the NOOK giveaway, feel free to enter; ends January 20)! Now I am teaming up with Mom With a Dot Com and Mama Nibbles to gather together bloggers for a LeapPad Explorer Bundle OR $250 Cash Tablet Time Giveaway!
Benefits
What are the benefits of sponsoring a Tablet Time giveaway? They include:
- Rewarding your readers with a super-awesome giveaway.
- Increasing your following by leaps and bounds.
- Catching the eye of search engines when people search things like "LeapPad," "LeapFrog," "LeapPad giveaway," "tablet giveaway," or "Tablet Time giveaway."
- Entering for a chance to be a host for the next Tablet Time (no fees and three follow links instead of 2!).

ends March 30, 2012, at 11:59 PM EST
Where?
- The giveaway will be held in a post on EVERY sponsoring blogger's blog! Note: Ning and similar networks/communities are welcome to participate too!
Why?
- The heart of the giveaway is to reward our amazing readers, but it is also to help boost our following.
The Rules
-
Have a family-friendly blog (Ning and certain similar networks/communities welcome also as long as they have a place to publish the giveaway post with the Rafflecopter form and can share the button/banner on the main page of their community during the course of the event). -
Remit the $10 participation/admin fee via PayPal(payment details in the sign up form). -
Submit two follow links of your choice (a follow link is the direct link to your Twitter profile, Facebook fan page, G+ page, blog for GFC, etc.; lines to submit are in the application form). To make entering simpler for entrants, each blog is only allowed 2 links. -
Join the Tablet Time Facebook group (link is in the sign-up form).
-
Write a post about the giveaway and include the Rafflecopter form for others to enter (participants will receive this code at a later date). -
Schedule said post (item #4) to publish on March 16, 2012, at 12:01 AM EST and inform your readers that the deadline to enter is March 30, 2012, at 11:59 PM EST , is open to U.S. residents only, and entrants must be 18 years or older. You will receive reminders and details via the Facebook group and email as the event draws nigh. -
Display the event’s button or banner on your sidebar or above the fold on your blog (but NOT in a scrolling widget as few people will see it there; the more people who see the button/banner, the more traffic). You can share the button/image in a giveaway widget, but you MUST also have the banner/button displayed as well.
Helpful Links
- Set up a G+ page. Since GFC is going away (click this link to learn more) for non-Blogger blogs and probably soon thereafter for Blogger blogs, set up a G+ page for your blog ("blog" is found under the "Arts, Entertainment, or Sports" category. Note that this is different than your G+ personal profile and will be the future of bloggers.
- Set up a Facebook fan page. I get a great deal of traffic to my blog thanks to my Facebook fan page. Plus, sponsors are impressed with large FB fan page numbers! If you don't already have a fan page, set one up ASAP and start building the fan page numbers (more fans=more exposure).
Sign Up for Tablet Time
