[Book Blogger Hop] February 8th-14th: Blog Anniversary Celebrations



Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.


Question:

Do you have celebrations for your blog's anniversary such as a giveaway?  (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)


Answer: 
I haven't! I would love to one day, but I haven't ever hosted a giveaway before. I am thinking of hosting one if I reach 1K Instagram followers, considering how close I am. I would probably also tie it into it being my blog anniversary considering that passed in January and I didn’t really say anything about it.  I think I always have a minor insecure/concern that no one will participate, so I have been holding off for so long. Hopefully some people do! :)

Thanks for reading!

  1. I have the same problem, too! I don't even know where to start for a giveaway and I don't have that many followers so no one will participate anyway.

  2. Best of luck if you do decide to run a giveaway soon! I complete understand being anxious about it though. I was a little intimidated the first time I ran one, but it's a really nice feeling when the winner lets you know their prize has arrived.

    1. I can't wait to do one! I did one when I had a BookTube page and it was so much fun.

  3. Giveaways tend to get a lot of attention. People come out of the wood work for them. At least that's what I've found in the past. Especially if you "advertise" on Twitter and other social media sites. I've run a few over the years, but nothing recently. Only two for my actual blog anniversary though. I wish you luck if you decide to give one a try! They can be a lot of fun--and a lot of work.

    1. Yeah! When I do one I'll probably promote it on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and here. So hopefully it gets a nice amount of participation! Thank you so much! I am hoping to be able to do one at least this year.

  4. Oh, Heather! I feel the same way. The fear of participation often prevents people from launching a giveaway. But, you can do it. Make it a small one - reaching 1,000 IG followers will work!!. The prize could be something small like an Amazon gift card.
