The proof is in the pudding or in this case the free gift EzineArticles just sent me in the mail. I was quite surprised to find a package sitting on my doorstep this afternoon as I arrived home, especially since I didn’t remember ordering anything. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was from EzineArticles, which puzzled me more since I wasn’t sure why they would be sending me anything. Curiousity quickly got the best of me as I began to rip off the many layers of tape and find out exactly what was in this box!
Mug & Coffee!
Inside the box was a very nice quality mug, which says something coming from a guy who has collected one too many in the past! It has the EzineArticles logo printed in big letters around the mug, which also came with a gourmet coffee package. The coffee flavor for those who are curious was White Chocolate Almond, which I have never had before. While I’m not usually a huge coffee drinker, I might have to make an exception this time as I have quite a weakness for white chocolate! I’ve included some pictures below to further showcase this nice free gift!
How I Got It?
I publish ALMOST all of my blog articles on EzineArticles, which is a very popular site in the blogging community that allows writers to submit content for use by third-parties online. Those third-parties then can read and publish your content else where as long as they give credit where it is due – back to you! It’s a great way to increase traffic to your site and get your content out there. My entrepreneur blog has done quite well thanks in part to the referrels that come in through EzineArticles. I would encourage anyone who has a blog to utilize this free service! For those wondering just how many articles it took me to get the free mug - the answer is 15.
Final Thought – Motivation:
I know it’s only a mug and what’s the big deal you may ask? When you start something new (like my entrepreneur blog for example), it’s great to see any positive sign that your work is paying off. My traffic continues to increase each month, and my blog revenue continues to increase slowly. It’s a work in progress that is currently making progress, which is the important thing. The mug and coffee was a nice and unexpected surprise that has only further motivated me! Ever get a free gift for blogging? Thoughts?
