The number of seasonal “Giveaway” events was certainly up over the recent festive season, wasn’t it?

How many of them did you sign up for? Those that you did join, did you find much that you liked?

I must say that in the majority of cases, I was not overly impressed.

A lot of the products being given away were not particularly difficult to get hold of and I thought that a lot of the events themselves, especially the newer ones, were more ‘glitter and tinsel’ than substance.

One that I HAVE found worth looking at, however, is the excellent “New Years Giveaway” that is running from now until the end of January, and I would seriously recommend that you should take a look sooner rather than later.

There’s three hundred or so free gifts on offer and unlike most of the ‘festive season specials’ that I looked at, many of them are actually worth downloading. There are e-books, software programs, video and web authoring tools for everyone from the newest newbie to the most experienced, and (the thing that I most like),a lot of them are new to me too!

Now, you know and I know that the idea of these events is to allow the contributor to add your name to their mailing list, so I would recommend that you create a new gmail or yahoo email account for your sign-ups and that you only download that you can actually use. Downloading something that you ‘might’ use in the future is just cluttering up your disk space, trust me, because you will never use it!

Anyway, whatever your own experience of the recent glut of ‘givies’, you must take a peek at the New Years Giveaway now, if you have not already done so.
