Twilight Fun with Prizes and Affiliate Programs

I just wanted to let you know some of the blogging things that I'm doing this summer. Just in case you don't visit my blog.

I decided to take advantage of the Twilight craze and the upcoming release of Breaking Dawn on Aug 2nd, and try to do some marketing. I wish I'd had the idea two months earlier because it takes some time to build up steam. If any of you are willing to help me spread the word, via images and links in your sidebars, I have some affiliate programs and prizes set up.

Twilight Trivia
First, I have a Twilight Trivia blog. Each day between now and the release of Breaking Dawn, I'm posting about a dozen or more trivia questions about the Twilight series. By the time it's done, it will be the largest collection of Twilight trivia on the Internet. I know because I've searched and searched and there's nothing out there like this. This blog has two promotions right now:

1. For blog readers, they can try to guess the context of the daily Breaking Dawn quotes that I'm taking from Stephenie Meyer's website. Every correct guess equals an entry into a drawing for a parfum spray in the Twilight inspired fragrance of your choice (sponsored by CustomScentsOnline.com)

2. For those who help me spread the word: Put the Twilight Trivia image and link in your sidebar (instructions here), and each month I choose someone at random to receive a Twilight inspired parfum spray.


Twilight Bracelets
Next, I have a Twilight Bracelet site where you can order charms, bracelets, pins and bookmarks that are connected to the Twilight series. Each charm on the site comes from information found in the books.

You can order a bracelet similar to the one Bella has with a wolf charm and a "crystal" heart charm for less than half the price of the bracelet at Twilight Teez.

All of the charms and bracelets are sterling silver. They make a cute, fun gift for any Twilight lover.

I have this site set up with affiliate capabilities. If you're interested, you can follow the instructions to enroll as an affiliate and earn 5% of all sales that come through your blog.

I also have it set up so you can offer free shipping to your blog readers, if they enter a special code. Contact me if you're interested in that.



Twilight Fragrances


Last, I've created some Twilight inspired fragrances that I sell from my CustomScentsOnline.com site. Those of you who came to the Bloggin' Babe perfume party at my house a few months ago received a free sample of some of these fragrances.

I've redone the Bella fragrance since re-reading the books because I found a spot in Twilight where Edward tells Bella she smells like lavender or freesia. I also have a new fragrance called Bitten, with the assumption that Bella will become a vampire in Breaking Dawn.

I'll be adding fragrances for Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper soon (like later today).

As with the bracelets, I have this site set up with affiliate capabilities. If you're interested, you can follow the instructions to enroll as an affiliate and earn 5% of all sales that come through your blog.



CustomScentsOnline and Twilight Bracelets are both sponsoring some Twilight related contests. For example, I'm sponsoring a contest over at Twilight-Fans that runs through July 30th. Commenters on that post could win a Twilight inspired parfum spray, (Go comment!) I also have some contests with parfum spray and bookmarks coming up, but they haven't been posted yet so I can't link to them. If you go to CustomScentsOnline and Twilight Bracelets, I'll have a links list that goes to all the current contests I'm sponsoring, so you can enter if you want.

Also, if you're a big Twilight fan and you're looking for sponsors for a Twilight contest of your own, contact me.
