Contest Winners Revealed
Yippeeeeeee…..
I just arrived home today from a visit with my grandkids (they are the lights of my life) and even though I am a bit tired from the drive…2 hours north, I am running on adrenaline because I get to announce the winners of my Camtasia Snag It contest.
I have to tell you that in my two years of blogging, this blog post idea might be the most fun I’ve had yet.
Here’s some of the highlights of what I was able to accomplish:
- Excitement around my blog 😉
- Inspired ideas for my tagline/byline header
- New blogging friendships – building my network
- An opportunity to create my first Camtasia video – accomplishing and learning something new
- Helping those who helped me by linking back to their blogs
and, so much more…
That being said, I want to move right into the winners…and there are two as promised.
Watch the video below to see who the winner of the random drawing for Camtasia 7 and Snag It is.
Now that you know who won the “random” drawing…and congratulations to that person 😉 …
I will reveal the person I chose as my personal favorite…and, believe me, this one was tough because there were soooooo many quality entries. I had to read them many times…and still enjoy going over them. But, I wanted the opportunity to give away a second set of licenses so I had to settle on one.
But first let me thank every one who entered. Like I said I had so much fun I am thinking of running Kathy’s Crazy Contest Monthly and give away a Camtasia and Snag It license per month…or something else of value. Staaaaay tuned 😉
Although I have not decided on whether I will use the winner’s entry (remember, the contest was for ideas)…it was the one that most closely represented what I was trying to accomplish by blogging. And, not only did this person have one that I was enamored with, but both his entries caught my eye and imagination…giving him the edge I felt gave him the blue ribbon…
And the WINNER of Camtasia 7 and Snag It bundle is:
David Taylor
David’s entry “Living my dream by helping you live yours” is what I resonate with strongly and felt that he was able to sum up in a few short simple words what others had also similarly expressed, but he just seemed to nail it.
David’s other entry helped him to seal the deal:
“Let me help you to help yourself” I too resonated strongly with these words because I used to sign off on my Auto – Responder emails like this…
“Helping you to help yourself”
Once again congratulations to David and thank you to all you blogging Super Stars who participated. You’ve each given me such wonderful inspiration and for that reason I would like to give a little link juice/love back…
So, here’s a list of all the wonderful participants…you can easily find their entries in the comments section of this blog post:

Hey Kathy
Congratulations to the 2 winners!
I’m not gonna name them here because I wouldn’t want to spoil the excitement (lol).
You put a really good competition together that created a big buz around your blog and I hope it’s helped you to pick that tagline that you was soooooo hoping for.
Well done misses!
Dawn
Dawn…you’re quick 😉
It was lots of fun running a contest…like you know, and I am going to be running more in the future… 😉
Thanks for your support…
Kathy
Brilliant result for the winners, and such a fun contest to enter, thanks for this, Kathy, and well done to the winners!
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hi Mandy…
I really did have a good time and plan on doing many more contests…
Your entry was one of my favorites Mandy 😉
Kathy
Hi Kathy,
I am chuffed to bits that you picked my idea. I had no idea you used those words to sign off your emails but I am so pleased I got so close.
I am looking forward to using my new toys, er.. I mean business tools to develop my collection of video tutorials. I don’t know much about Snagit but I will certainly enjoy learning.
Thanks again Kathy, you have made my night.
All the best,
David
Hi David…
Congratulations! You and I really seem to resonate when it comes to taglines 😉
At any rate…I love both your entries and I know you are going to love your Camtasia and Snag It licenses.
You are going to love both…Camtasia is great but Snag It is too!
By the way…I love that word “chuffed” 😉
Kathy
Hi Kathy
Congratulations to the two winners!
It was a really good competition Kathy and it generated a lot of excitement on your blog.
The video is great as well by the way 😉
Have a great weekend Kathy
Take care, catch up soon
Ian
Hi Ian…
I would love to have seen you win! I’ll loved your entries and hope you’ll come back for my next contest in Sept.
Thanks for the kiddos on my video…it was my first ever online screen capture video I’ve done…they can only get better 😉
I knew I sounded a bit rough around the edges…but you have to start somewhere 😉
Kathy
WOOHOO!! Thank you so much!!
And a Big Congratulations to David as well!
I think you should have these contests often – we all deserve a chance to win!!
Thanks again!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Linda
Hi Linda…
Congratulations!! I am so happy for both you and David 😉
I am running another contest next month…the prize will be the same, so I hope you’ll join the fun anyway even though you now own both Camtasia and Snag It!
Thanks for participating 😉
Kathy
Hi Kathy, congratulations on creating your video, it was done well my friend.
Congratulations to both David and Linda for their wins. I hope to see some great videos on their blogs very soon 😉 and I’ll be coming along to watch them 🙂
I’m really pleased that you got a great new tag line Kathy and thanks for linking to everyones sites, that was really kind of you.
Great contest and I look forward to you next one.
Have a great weekend Kathy, oh and huge congratulations for speaking up on the webinar Thursday and overcoming a fear.
Respect and Regards, Barry
In my opinion, the results were fair and the winners trully deserved the awards and I’m very happy and glad for their achievements! Bravo David and Linda, congratulations! Also, really nice video, Kathy!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you Jared…you have no idea how nice it was to get those compliments. Sometimes that is exactly what we needed to hear in order to move forward and feel like we are actually making a difference!
Once again…thanks! and I hope you return often 😉
Kathy
Congratulations to the 2 winners.
David’s entry, “Let me Help you to Help Yourself” is great. It’s like, give a man a fish and you’ve fed him a meal, show him how to fish and you feed him for life. Nice one David.
Cheers
Julie
Hi Julie…I too love that quote and that is why I used it in my AR. We can only help those who want help anyway so it seems so appropriate.
Kathy
Hey Kathy,
Love love love the background music and your voice, soooooo relaxing!
Seriously I could listen to you all day!!!
Very cool way to choose the lucky winner, using the random numbers I remember Paul Teague ran a comp and he used a lil magician which was kinda cool too.
The winners are all very lucky, congrats to them, I hope they put their camtasia to good use and start churning out some fab videos just like you.
Looking forward to seeing many more videos from you and I am sure the next comp will be a massive hit too.
Catch ya later, Sally x
ps. love the yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee (made me smile)
Hi Sally…
So much fun to go to bed and wake to so many nice comments 😉 You are going to turn me into a blog hopping queen too 😉
Thanks for the kind words about my voice. I am finally getting comfortable hearing it…I think that’s what it takes for all of us…just getting comfortable hearing our own voice.
I’ll be creating another video this week sometime. I need to practice. Doing something once and then shelving it…I forget things 😉
Loving the coaching Sally…it’s everything I thought it would be and more!
Kathy x
Hi Kathy,
Great camtasia video! The music in the background was really relaxing. Great little widget too!
Good idea on running the competitions. It will generate a little buzz. I remember when you won your copy from Greame’s site during the challenge! 😀
Hope everything is going well for you.
See you back here soon! 😎
Cheers
Jacinta 😀
Hi Jacinta…
Thanks for the kind words…but I have to chuckle because I had to really play with the music part. I was experimenting.
But, I figure I am among friends so I am going to just let go and do it…:)
Lots of small fears to set aside and move past…it’s going to be an interesting year 😉
Kathy
I wonder when will be the next contest. I hope I could also join there and get more prizes.
