We have a winner of Making Money Online Dot Com and 20DollarBanners Custom Banner Package Giveaway! Actually, we don’t just have one winner, we have 3 winners. Mark and I have decided to buy a couple custom 125×125 banners ourselves to giveaway in addition to the grand prize which was supplied by Tuan over at 20DollarBanners. So in addition to pulling out one grand prize winner, we also had our bikini models pull out 2 additional names to give each one a “Custom 125×125 Banner” as well.
Take a look at the video below to see the actual drawing of the winners!
If you want to cheat without watching the video first, you can scroll down and see the winners below, but it is more fun to watch the video first and be surprised, especially if you were entered in the contest…
Well hopefully you watched the video and you know who the winners are, but here they are anyway…
GRAND PRIZE WINNER – Kristi from DoFollow.info
Kristi won a custom banner package (valued at $109) from 20DollarBanners courtesy of Tuan.
BONUS WINNER 1 – Jared from TheMoneyCult.com
Jared won a custom 125×125 banner from 20DollarBanners courtesy of Making Money Online.
BONUS WINNER 2 – Lee from MyBlog2Day.com
Lee also won a custom 125×125 banner from 20DollarBanners courtesy of Making Money Online.
The winners will be contacted by email in the next day or two with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
We want to thank everyone for participating in the contest and congratulate our winners. Also, we want to send a big thank-you out to Tuan for letting us interview him, as well as for the awesome banner package he gave us to giveaway.
Now if you didn’t win and would still like some custom banners created for your site (you know you do), simply go to 20DollarBanners and place your order. Tuan is giving our readers a 10% DISCOUNT on any individual banners purchased. Simply use the coupon code: “mmodotcom“ when you are checking out. The discount cannot be applied to any of the package deals, as they are already deeply discounted. But if you just want one or two, or even a few… the coupon code will save you some money.

Sweet, I even watched the video. Wow this is cool looking forward to seeing what Tuan does. Chances are I will end up getting a whole package from him as I am in need but very cool. Nice contest Doug thanks.

Glad you won something Jared. Did you watch the video before you scrolled down to see if you won? I figured it would be more exciting to watch them pulling the names vs. reading who won.
I will send you the details on how to order your banner tomorrow. Thanks again for participating.

Congrats to all the winners
That’s nice of him to still offer all of us the 10% discount!

Yeah… Tuan is a definitely a nice guy. I am excited to see what he comes up with for all the winner’s banners.
Lee Ka Hoong on Mon, 7th Sep 2009 5:51 pm
Arrhh..I didn’t win the package, but still I won a 125×125 banner.
Also, congrats Kristi who won the grand prize!
Anyway Doug, I really enjoy this contest!
Regards,
Lee
Doug Dillard on Tue, 8th Sep 2009 12:29 am
Definitely better than nothing
It goes to show that completing more actions and getting more entries in the contest pays off. All 3 of you winners did more than just commenting on the post and each had several entries in the fish bowl. Hopefully when we run the next contest we will get more participants doing more things to get the extra entries, as they were all easy to do.
Lee Ka Hoong on Tue, 8th Sep 2009 8:31 am
I just watched the video as my company blocked the video, it’s really fun and interesting to see this, that’s feeling good to hear my name announced in the public, it’s first time!
Yea Doug, it’s better than nothing, I’ve sent you an email about this too. I believe that people who completed more entries will be getting the prize, that’s the reward from God (I’m not Christian), lol!
Anyway, I really enjoyed this contest! Awaiting for your next contest..
Cheers,
Lee

Thanks Dan! It was a lot of fun doing the video. I would have done more takes so the girls could do the closing better… but there was no way to do it without pulling 3 other names instead. I thought about editing a new closing in, but I wanted it to be one straight shot all the way through.
Sire on Mon, 7th Sep 2009 11:13 pm
Yay kristi, and those other two winners
I was disappointed though, because although you had two sweet babes pull out the winners there was no bikinis! Come on guys, what’s with that. You build up an old Aussies hopes and then you shoot him down in flames? That’s a pretty poor way to treat a mate you know
Oh well, they were very pretty, so I suppose that will have to do

Sorry Sire! They actually would have done it in their bikinis, but it was 11 o’clock at night on Saturday and we were in my buddy’s restaurant/bar in the front room and people (mainly drunk guys) kept walking by. Maybe next time I will have them do it in bikinis for you
We can just go down to the beach and do the drawing there!
Sire on Tue, 8th Sep 2009 1:09 am
No worries Doug, it’s not like I haven’t seen a couple of spunky babes in bikinis before, it’s just that it’s been such a long long time between sightings

Sire on Tue, 8th Sep 2009 1:19 am
Hey, at least you got close to a couple, which reminds me, how did your wives allow that? Maybe I should get them to talk to my wife.
Anyway Doug, I forgot to mention what a brilliant idea it was to have those girls videoed doing the draw. I know you mentioned it in a previous post but I figured you were just pulling our collective legs.

Doug Dillard on Tue, 8th Sep 2009 1:34 am
We just have super cool wives! I almost had my wife pull the names as she is quite the babe as well, but I thought this would be more fun for all.
I try not to be much of a leg puller when it comes to business (except maybe on April 1st, so you better watch out then)… I set the rules and told you what I was going to do… and I try my hardest to be a man of my word.
Actually getting the girls to participate was easy. I actually have a bunch of very attractive girls that would love to do it.
If we start getting a lot more women commentors… we might even have some guys doing the drawings too… as we are an equal rights blog
Sire on Tue, 8th Sep 2009 2:16 am
I didn’t notice the video shake so it couldn’t have been that bad.
And what do you mean you have a bunch of very attractive girls? Where the hell do you keep em. Is this normal over there in the States, because if it is I’m going to have to seriously think about migrating.

Nice video, it would be awesome if the video recorder is on a stand so it wouldn’t shake at all. Congrats for the winners btw!

Thanks Issac. Hmmm… I thought I did a good job making the video not shake. I didn’t use the tripod, as I was planning on zooming in on the winners names, but I forgot we only were doing one take, so I forgot to do any zooming.
Does the video really look shaky to you? I can barely tell on my computers.

Thanks! We chose to use a video for a couple of reasons.
1) Videos are fun and bring a little life to blogs
2) We wanted to show people that the raffle was fair

Lee has definitely been doing well in these blog contests. As far as this particular contest he did every action required to get the maximum amount of raffle entries, so he had an advantage over most of the other people that entered.

My husband actually wondered how the online raffles were done… it was great seeing the video for the actual drawing, and so much fun not knowing it was going to be me beforehand. I’m so excited… my new site is definitely in need of some banners. Thanks for offering such a great contest!

You are quite welcome! Thanks for entering
As far as online raffles, I believe a lot of people use http://www.random.org/ as I have seen it used quite a contests lately.
I think it is more fun to videotape it, plus everyone can see that it is not rigged in any way, so you hopefully build a trust factor with your readers as well.
