I’m Giving Away Entrecard Credits — Get Yours!
Posted on 04 June 2008
I’m pulling out of the Entrecard system for several reasons, but this blog has got an accumulation of 3,967 credits that I need to distribute before I go. So here’s the deal of the day:
I’ll give you 100 Entrecard credits just for signing up for this blog’s RSS feed or email feed, until I run out of credits. That should make 39 new readers happy, and the 40th will get a tinier slice of the pie (67 credits, or more, depending on how many dropped cards I get in the meantime). Use one of the giant orange buttons in the top right corner of my site to sign up. And please leave a comment on this post with the name of your Entrecard blog so I can send you the credits!
My leaving isn’t an indictment of the Entrecard system — I like many of their recent improvements, such as the ability to link multiple blogs. (But I do *not* like their weird new ad pricing system. FYI.) I just am trying to pare down my computer-facing time, and clicking through a promotion system like this just isn’t as fun or profitable as other projects I could be doing. So I’m spreading the EC love with this giveaway before I go.
Note to current advertisers: I will leave the Entrecard widget in place until your ads have run their course, don’t worry. I won’t back out of a deal!

Thanks, Entrecard visitors! )

Ah, joining the EC dropper club! Welcome!
I also have 1000 EC credits to give away. I never ran a contest before. Maybe I should.

Darn, I already get your RSS feed! Although that’s very good, because it means I’ll keep reading you even after I no longer have the Entrecard excuse for visiting – which I presume is the idea behind your promotion.
Good luck with it anyway – there are definitely a lot of things better to do with our time than drop cards (such as actually writing).

Hi Carolyn,
I came here via your comment on Bob’s post over at Writing-Journey and I really like your blog! I would have subscribed anyway, but hey I was looking to try out EntreCard on my blog anyway, so I’ll take you up on the credits – thanks! I also just signed up for EC using your link, if that gets you anything.
My site is: http://smithereensblog.blogspot.com
Cheers and thank you,
Daniel Smith

Catherine, thanks so much for reading along! I’m planning to ramp up my blog posting soon as I’m now getting over a pesky illness that has kept me grumpy and offline more than I like in recent weeks. ;o) So look for more bloggy goodness coming up soon.
Daniel — welcome to the subscription list! Hope you enjoy the ride.

P.S. I’ll be distributing Entrecard credits at the end of this week.

Please forgive this group response for recent comments at dropsofblood.com; I’m behind in my blog comment conversations!
Rudy – I’m sorry, but I’m leaving Entrecard, not joining it. Just not a good fit for me, although it’s a nice program for many folks. I was going to send you 100EC as a thank-you for commenting, but I don’t see the Entrecard ad on your site anymore. Oh well — thank you for visiting anyway!
Catherine – I’ve got some left over, so I sent you a 100EC “thank you” anyway. Surprise!
)
Daniel – I just sent you 100 EC, too; welcome!

tfly katapult – Oh, don’t be discouraged by all the Entrecard bailing out you’re seeing — it’s probably some of the early adopters who tried it and didn’t like it. There are still plenty of Entrecard fans out there.
) I’ve just decided it doesn’t work for me. I just don’t like how they price ads now (too erratic). Also, I’m trying to streamline my blogging time, so I’ve decided I don’t have time to spend clicking Entrecard ads on many sites to earn credits or to do courtesy responses to folks who visit my sites; I’d rather visit sites out of genuine interest or in response to people who’ve taken the time to visit and comment on my sites. But I’ll help you get the ball rolling: Send me your email address and I’ll send you 100 EC as a gift. If you don’t want to put your email addy in comments, you can use the contact form on this site, or if you’re on Twitter, send me a direct message — I’m “cbahm.” 
) (P.S. It may look like I already know your address because of this message, but I’m using a WordPress comment-response plugin to send this note to you; apparently, it knows your email, although I can’t find it.)
Hi Carolyn.
I was trying to be funny earlier about “Joining EC Dropper”. You see, I also bailed out of EntreCard as I posted here.
I pretty much have the same reasons as yours. There’s not much in it for me anymore.

Hey, Rudy,
I *thought* I remembered you dropped out of EC.

I just RSS’d this site through SAGE for Firefox…I like what I have read so far

Hi, James,

Welcome to the writing party at DropsofBlood.com! Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see here; I’m up for tackling any topic where I have a bit of knowledge (or the ability to network and research it).
