Being Unique
As I'm sure some of you can relate, that one snowflake is kind of....pretty. But a whole pile of them coming down when you're trying to drive somewhere, not so much. Inside that snowdrift, though...are many unique bits of crystal ice, formed in the most beautiful, symmetrical and simple shapes.
In the blizzard of contests and activities on the site, how to you get your contest or activity noticed? First off, try to be unique. Lots of auctions and raffles happen, so how to attract attention? Think about your hook. Think about an unusual theme or twist on the ordinary to make yours shine.
Try to keep it simple and beautiful. For some people, online time is precious. They don't want to spend twenty minutes trying to figure some complicated rules just to buy raffle tickets for a friend. They don't want to jump through hoops to join an activity. They want to stop in, join in the fun, and then be on their merry way.
Keep in mind a few things: Not everyone is in the same time zone. Not everyone speaks the same language. Not everyone knows site linking. Not everyone has a lot of gift points. Not everyone will spot your item if you don't promote it.
Most important of all, have a fun! Throw a few snowballs and laugh. And as always, Write (and Play) On!

Excerpt: I love Spring. The earth awakens from its winter slumber. We are able treated to warm weather and lighter clothes. Sweet and, occasionally, cold treats abound. There can be no better time to celebrate. I want so much to help you celebrate with extra GPs. So, from today, March 20, 2017 to April 20 2017, I will be giving them away daily to some lucky winner and a group.

Excerpt: This contest is for all short forms of writing that pertain to the seasons. Do you write seasonal poetry? Enter it here. Have you written a fiction piece that is centered around the current season? This is the contest for you.
Excerpt: Check out the Daily Snapshot and come up with the best cunning, creative, or clever caption and WIN.
Excerpt: This will be an on-going monthly contest. Every month I will post the 'cover art' from one of those great, old pulp magazines, and you will write a short story, of say, no more than a 1000 words, that best describes that cover.
Excerpt: Welcome to The Daily Poem! A contest where prompts are posted every 24 hours to inspire your poetry muse. Yes, I'm hosting this contest, but I am definitely not claiming to be an expert on poetry. Far from it, there's much better poetry writers on the site. Although, if they were running this contest, I wouldn't get to see their wonderful entries!

Excerpt: This is what I want to know. You can be funny or silly and tell me you're reading "Whatcha readin'?" You can go as in depth as you like. Or the opposite and just give me the title and author. I would like to know, however, what your opinion of the book is. Do you like it or not?
Excerpt: Flash fiction is fun to read and a challenge to write. It must contain all the elements of a larger work of fiction, but in a much shorter space.
Are you up for it?
Excerpt: This forum is designed to get your creative juices flowing. 10,000 gps will be given away every 24 hours!
Excerpt: If you enjoy celebrating things, this forum is for you! We celebrate member’s Anniversary’s year round in this forum by sending them a review during their Anniversary month! Help members celebrate another year of membership by sending them Anniversary Reviews.
