That’s The Sound of Sunshine Coming Down…

So it might be a little late. Christmas has past. The New Year is here. However, before it is too late to celebrate the end of a great year, amongst other things, even with all of the challenges, and to look forward to an outstanding 2011 I would like to offer a $50 iTunes gift certificate giveaway under the following rules:

  1. You need to follow me on Twitter @jraymonds (If you already do — just proceed to step two!)
  2. You need to tweet the following: “What a Tweet opportunity! Follow @jraymonds for a chance at a $50 iTunes gift. See the compete rules at http://tinyurl.com/4g7jbx7”
  3. For each 50 unique tweets a person will be chosen at random to receive a $50 iTunes gift certificate.
  4. Tweets will only be counted once for each unique Twitter user ID and you must be a follower of @jraymonds for it to count as well.
  5. A maximum of $1,000 in iTunes gift certificates will be given away and all random drawings will take place on February 28th, 2011.
  6. Winners will be contacted via a direct message and after receiving their email address they will be emailed the $50 certificate.
  7. If winner does not respond to the direct message before March 4th, 2011 their opportunity at the $50 certificate will be cancelled without being replaced with someone else.
  8. If more than 1,000 people follow and tweet the above message then only 20 people will be chosen out of the whole bunch.
  9. Yes, only iTunes certificates will be given out. As Jeffrey Lee “Jeff” Probst might say, if you do not use iTunes then I got nothin’ for ya.
  10. If there is any contradiction, loophole, or unintended consequence of the above rules there is only one final judge on what to do: me.
  11. One last thing – please keep it fair. If I see some craziness like people opening brand new multiple Twitter accounts with no activity, and with the only purpose of making more entries, then the contest will either be filtered from these accounts or suspended entirely. He may not follow you but @Jesus might just be watching you!

For example, if by 12:00 AM EST February 13th of 2011, 515 followers of mine on Twitter tweet the above phrase at least once each. Then 10 of them would be chosen randomly for a $50 iTunes gift certificate. Have a blast, buy an App, or better yet – buy a great song. Music can be one of the strongest anchors to a powerful and positive state! So, spread the news – obviously if I do not see at least 50 tweets of the message then no one wins anything!

I hope to have interesting news to report during the course of 2011. Perhaps an old game coming out in full force for the iOS…any guesses as to what it might be? More travel adventures, perhaps some business and life lessons learned, and maybe a report about an interesting partnership coming together. I cannot promise you a feed that fits all of your interests but the frequency of traffic is low enough to (ad)venture a few clicks without being annoying!
