Random musings: All the ways to win

The original version of this post was published last week:

You may have caught my Facebook Live yesterday where I talked about the new $25 and $100 American Express gift card giveaways. If not, now you will.

But first I'm going to talk about all the ways you can get entries into the brownie giveaway:

The first way, and most of you have already done this is to watch an 11 minute video, what you may not have noticed was an invitation to join a Facebook group. Both of those activities are worth 1 entry each. Plus, if you share the video (which I know some of you have done), the person who you shared with gets an entry for watching the video and another for joining the FB group. And you get an additional entry to match each of theirs!

The next way is a biggie...you get 5 entries for watching a live IM Academy presentation. These presentations last about 20 - 30 minutes. There are 3 opportunities a day - at noon, 5:00 and 8:00 PST every Monday - Friday. And everybody who watches gets 5 entries (and so do you). So, make some popcorn and sit down with your spouse...you'll get 5 entries for watching, your spouse will get 5 entries and you'll get 5 more entries because your spouse watched. Be sure to share with your parents, siblings, adult kids, friends and neighbors. Here's the link...the password is IM. It may just ask for your email address. Don't worry...they won't spam you. These presentations will be going on for the foreseeable future.

If you can't make one of the live presentations (or even if you can), you can watch a recorded version of a presentation. This is worth 3 entries in the drawing. And yes, you can watch both a live presentation and the recorded version.

So, by yourself you can get up to 10 entries in the drawing, plus you can double, triple or quadruple the number of entries. You're saying to yourself that the brownies are good, but they're really not worth that much effort. That' where the gift cards come in. On the first Saturday of every month, starting this Saturday, I'll be putting the names of all of the brownie winners into a bowl and drawing at least one name to win a $25 AmEx gift card. And on the first Saturday of a new quarter (starting in April), the winners of the $25 gift cards will be placed in a bowl and at least one person will win a $100 gift card.

But wait! What if I don't win brownies? Does that mean I'm out of luck for the gift card drawings? Absolutely not! There are ways to get entries directly into the gift card drawings.

First, to get entered into the $25 monthly drawing, you can do a 3 way Zoom with me and my mentor, Darla DiGrandi-Aguilera. She's much better at explaining all of this than I am! But please, only do this if you're willing to learn more about the academy. Darla's time, and your time, is too valuable to waste if you're not the least bit curious. You'll get one entry into the $25 AmEx gift card drawing when you do this. Again, if your friends and family are interested they can get an entry and you can get additional ones. But again, only if they're interested in learning more.

And how about the $100 drawing? Become an IM Academy student. For every month that you're a student, you'll get an entry into the drawing. And between now and the end of the year, you can get a $50 rebate! You DO NOT get additional entries when other people sign up but there are other benefits offered directly form the academy. Want to learn more? Book a Zoom with Darla and me...just reach out to me and I'll set it up.

And I did a FB Live yesterday discussing a way to earn up to 5 more entries:
