    Finally done my first giveaway. None of you know that I do Pokemon card openings on another channel. The packs come with these codes to get whatever pack it was on the online TCG version. Now I don't play the online one so these codes are useless to me so one day I thought why don't I do giveaways with them. Cos lots of people seem to want them and I have loads of these things. So I did.
    It was rather exciting and nerve racking watching my Twitter feed explode with people following and retweeting for this little code. Obviously I had a few people that only half entered and someone that rushed off and didn't listen to what I said on how to enter. But I think for doing this for the first time. I did rather well. Kept my cool and explained again to the ones that didn't enter right or checked to make sure I got everyone's name that had entered. When The winner was picked I said congrats on winning here's the code. Funny thing is he said it didn't work. I said well it should as it hasn't been used. When I looked back at the code I typed...Yeah noticed there was a typo in it XD. So I laughed it off with him and then gave him the actual code and he's now happy as ever. Even said to me that he got good cards from it. So guessing I'm doing more now. Thinking once a week. And if a code hasn't gone then it keeps going until I get enough people. As this was the first one I thought at least 5 people should enter before giving away the code.

    Great to hear you had such an amazing experience doing a giveaway :)

    Since you have more of these codes then it would indeed be a good thing to do this once a week untill your trough them, this way you can also get a bit more audience and it is fun to do. I still have a couple Fallout Masks wich were fun to giveaway at the time, strange how people can do so much for such a simple thing :)

    That's a good idea, I remember throwing out a few days ago my online card booster codes - I redeemed a few but wasn't interested in the online gameplay.

    I even got so into buying the boosters I bought everything my town had.

    Doing giveaways can be a two-edged sword at times, glad your first one went well :)

    I feel giveaways are a fun way to get a bigger audience but make sure that isn't the only reason people sub. If it is once you stop giving them away you might get a large subscriber loss. But if they leave because of you not giving stuff away they shouldn't be subbed anyway.
