Refer A Friend to #ARWB and WIN!

Stephanie, Fawn, Beth and myself are all pretty fond on Arkansas Women Bloggers and we think you are too!  Well it turns out that we have another fan, a pretty famous fan!  Ree Drummond (yes, the Pioneer Woman) thinks what we are doing is pretty cool and has offered two autographed copies of her books to two lucky members of Arkansas Women Bloggers!  Pretty cool, huh?  We think so!

We will be giving the autographed copy of Ree’s cookbook, The Pioneer Women Cooks, to the member of Arkansas Women Bloggers who refers the most new members between 7am TODAY through 7pm on Sunday, December 4th.

We will be giving the autographed copy of Ree’s love story, Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, to the member of Arkansas Women Bloggers who refers the most new members between 7am Monday, December 5th through 7pm on Wednesday, December 7th.

It’s that simple!  We have added a ‘Referred By’ field to the registration form to make it easy for us to keep track.  All you have to do is ask your local women blogger friends to list your first and last name or the name of your blog in the ‘Referred By’ field!

Here are four suggestions to help you drum up some referrals:

1.  Tell Your Friends

When you are chatting in person, through email, on the phone, or via IM to your gal-pals tell them about Arkansas Women Bloggers and invite them to join.  Make sure to tell them to put your name in the ‘Referred By’ field.

2.  Blog About Us

Chances are there are at least a few local bloggers lurking around on your blog.  We would love for them to find out about us and reading about us on your blog is a great way for that to happen.  Please urge your readers to check out our site http://arkansaswomenbloggers.com and to join us by filling out the registration form on our join us page(http://arkansaswomenbloggers.com/join-us/). Make sure to tell them to put your name or blog name in the ‘Referred By’ field.

3. Facbook About Us

And of course there must be rules!

You will be awarded ONE referral point for each person you refer to Arkansas Women Bloggers regardless of the number of individual blogs they register.  You must be a registered member at the new Arkansas Women Bloggers website to win.  If you haven’t registered yet, you may refer yourself for one referral point. All currently registered members will automatically be awarded one referral point.  You will only be eligable for referral points for registration entries AFTER you have registered.  Since we are trying to grow our Arkansas based membership you will only recieve referral points for registration entries within the state of Arkansas.  All registrants must have vaild blogs.  In the event of a tie for the most referrals, the referrer with the first valid referral point that was not themself will be declared the winner. Each contest will be seperate and only entries recieved during the times indicated above will be valid.  Prizes will be mailed to the address provided by the winner on the registration form.

Good Luck!
