Welcome to the December 2012 BFS Newsletter Giveaway!!!
Thank you for subscribing. I hope you like the newsletter itself! If so, please share it with anyone you think may like it too!
As another thank you, this month’s giveaway prize is a $25 Amazon Gift Card or Paypal Cash AND a free copy of my eBook, How I Make Money Blogging! All you need to do is leave a single comment below by December 31, 2012 to enter to win!
It’s not required, but I’d appreciate it if you would leave a question for me as your single comment. The “Ask Crystal” section are way more fun if someone is asking me something, lol. Plus, these questions sometimes turn into blog posts. But if you’re plum out of ideas, feel free to say anything at all.
I sincerely appreciate all of you!
The official stuff:
1) Contest ends December 31, 2012 at 11:59pm CST.
2) ONLY ONE COMMENT/ENTRY PER PERSON.
3) The winner must be a newsletter subscriber and will be selected randomly and notified by email by the third day of the following month.
4) The prize will be held for 2 calendar days. If it isn’t claimed, a new winner will be randomly picked and contacted.
5) I reserve the right to reject comments that I consider spam or invalid entries.
6) An invalid or incorrect email address automatically disqualifies you from the drawing…it’s hard to contact a fake email…
7) Local laws, rules, and regulations apply.










Love your posts. Keep up the good work.
Not a question, but a request…would love to see more pics of how the inside of your house turned out!
Throwing my hat in the ring again!
just another try and a question.
Why are you selling your sites?
it seems that you get some money out of them.
Isn’t it worth the effort anymore?
Love reading your post and getting your emails thanks.
Hope I win
Love the income editions (because I’m so freaking nosey)!! Think it’s my turn to win
I would also like to see more pics of the new house. Now that you’ve settled in, is there anything you would design differently?
Love your side. Keep on going.
Do you have any creative suggestions for motivating a significant other to be more excited and involved in maintaining the family budget? I’m looking to go from ‘eh’ to ‘woohoo!’ without pulling teeth.
Oh!! Did I win?
Thanks for offering a giveaway every month. I don’t usually win things, so very cool. I was wondering what makes people hire someone to control advertising? Is it that they don’t want to fool with it or do you get more money for them, and do you bring ads to them or just reply to inquiries received?
Rock on!
Congrats to Kim on the win. I was also curious about Kim’s question.
Seeing your email newsletter in my inbox every Friday is a great motivator! Crystal, which apps, software (or even spreadsheet) is your top pick for managing a household budget? What works for you?
I first noticed that you were a repeat commenter on FreeMoneyFinance. What led you to begin commenting on the blogs you were reading?
i’m in for the monthly prize!
love your income updates. Wishing you much success in 2013!
Sorry can’t think of any questions to ask. Too sleep deprived with a newborn.
Entering again. Can’t remember if you’ve already covered this topic already. But I’m always curious how people who work at home balance their work and home life. How do you and Mr BFS manage this and what are your typical day to day schedules are like?
Also I like Lisa’s question about what types of apps and software you use. I’d be curious to also know if there are non-budget apps/software you use and love too. I always love seeing what things people use!
Thanks for the great newsletters!
I am curious how many hours a week you work on BITFS itself? Happy Holidays!
Here is another shot at winning again
How’ve things been going for you lately? Does the business still take as many hours when the revenue isn’t as high?
is there a time when manufacturores offer more couponsÉ
Putting myself in the drawing. Thanks!
How and where do you find subjects to blog about, or do you just blog about anything that comes to mind?
I remember when it was just a few of us competing, competition has gotten bigger : ) shows your good success!
I’d like to hear and see more about your new house, too!
Thanks for the giveaway. It seems that I’ve jumped the gun with some of my monitizing efforts and am having trouble getting anything out of them. Too much too soon I think. What kind of timeline/goals should be in place before adding too much to my blog?
Crossing my fingers!
Thanks for your blog-appreciate your dedication!
I love Amazon! Thanks for the giveaway
Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Holiday to you and yours.

Happy holidays! Some splurges just seem inevitable – I’m not going to feel bad about it!
Just started my blog, would love to have your ebook!

What is your larges grossing ebay/craigslist/garage sale single item?

can you write a post about how to reinstitute pagerank on your blog after that g thing happened a while back? I finally figured out how to verify my blog through webmaster tools but now I don’t know what I need to do in order to get my pr back and then submit for re-evaluation.
Thanks!
I would love to win!!!
