After processing 174 entries to my first giveaway, I am pleased to announce that the winner of the $25 Amazon Gift Card is Andrea from Nickel by Nickel! (Specifically, your follow on twitter won!)

Congratulations! I will be sending you an email shortly with your gift card attached!

Look out for next week’s giveaway on Monday! There will be more prizes next week, and some new entry opportunities, so keep an eye out!

Reactions to first giveaway:

In the past week AccountantByDay.com had 996 visits and 3,295 page views. The prior week (with no giveaway), we had 736 visits and 2,194 page views. Online-sweepstakes.com sent 208 visits my way. So there were 788 visitors not sent by online-sweepstakes.com. I think for next week’s giveaway, I will not post the giveaway on Online-Sweepstakes, since I think the people who showed up from that website are close to 0% likely to stick around after the fact.

Accountant by Day’s brand new facebook page has 62 “likes” now. (And I suppose I should start using it to post some kind of updates??)

I now have 124 followers on twitter now, up from 73 from last week! This is still 121 followers fewer than my old twitter account (@AccountingElf) has, so I am working on being a more active social media user from now on.

Thank you all for participating, and stop by on Monday for more chances to win!
