I am beginning a contest on the date of publication of this article - 6 November 2008 - for two weeks. The winner must have at least 35 points by midnight 21 November 2008.  There will be no winner if at least one person does not get 35 points.  In case of a tie, the person who has subscribed the longest will win. (Sign up for both on the far right column of my blog.)

You will get 10 points for a 100 word comment in the Testimonial category of this blog stating  why you subscribe and the benefits of subscribing. You can leave a comment here, but the contest is for comments of 100 word in the Testimonial category.  Look at the top of my blog to click on that category and then leave your comment.

You will get 5 points for everyone who subscribes to Get the Skinney during those two weeks listing your name and email address as the referring person. 

You will get another 5 points if they sign up for the FREE class Recipe to Look Better Naked.

If you and your personal referrals log in to the class(830 PM eastern time, Thursday November 30) on your computers and they identify themselves as a new student referred by you(I will provide an opportunity for you and them to type in your identifying information) on November 20 you will get 10 points for yourself and each person you bring with you to hear that class.

So, You get 10 points for a testimonial, 5 for a subscription referral, 5 for a Recipe to Look Better Naked referral and 10 for you and each person who comes to class on Thursday, Nov 20, 2008 at 830PM eastern time.  The class is two parts of 30 minutes.  You and your referrals only need to attend part one or part two but both are not required and only 10 points is available for attendance but you must be there  also to get the 10 points when they show up whether first or second session.

The person who is already subscribed when they receive this or if they subscribe by midnight Nov 7, are eligible to participate.  If you take a class from me and receive my blog posting in your email but do not get the extra emails with passwords and other information not on my blog, are not yet subscribed. You get the blog posts by default.  If you are subscribed via email through my blog, then you are subscribed for the future.  I am stopping other forms of email delivery except through my blog sign up at the end of December.  This is an incentive to sign up now.  The contest ends November 21 at midnight.

The prize for the person with the most points ( 35 or more points) is an iPod Shuffle 2nd generation, 1 GB

Second and Third Place (with 35 points but less than the person with the most) will receive $10 Amazon gift certificates.
