Here’s a collection of rules to take part in our blog giveaway hops. When you sign up for a hop please know you agree with these details:
Each blogger is responsible for securing their prize and running a giveaway EXCLUSIVELY FOR THESE HOPS!
NO GROUP GIVEAWAYS ALLOWED – THIS MEANS YOU JOIN ANOTHER BLOGGER’S GIVEAWAY TO PROMOTE IN EXCHANGE FOR A LINK, AND YOU LIST IT ON OUR HOP AS YOUR OWN.
The linky list must be VISIBLE in your post (unless you are self-hosted WordPress), as well as any required information sent via email or that is on the ‘Giveaway Hop Instruction‘ page before the start of the hop.
A picture of your prize and a CLEAR method of entry – no blog comments or Google Docs.
The giveaway post must be submitted by 12 AM ET the DAY the hop starts via the Google Doc.
Our 2023 hops start at Midnight Eastern on Thursdays. PLEASE mark the dates in your editorial calendar. It is not my responsibility to remind you of our hop schedule.
As a reminder – We require the unaltered giveaway hop image and a VISIBLE linky code somewhere in your giveaway post. (Unless you have a wordpress.com blog)
This event post must have a unique link on your site. Do not post on a tab with other giveaways, the link must lead readers directly to the hop post only.
We are not able to hunt down your link. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR POST IS CORRECT, and you are on the linky, NOT OURS!
If you submit your giveaway URL and it does NOT go live at Midnight ET the day the hop starts, you will be removed. (See above)
No requirements to post sign-ups or sidebar buttons to promote but the more bloggers, the bigger the event, so posting the button or sharing on your social media including Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram is encouraged!
Sign-ups are usually open until the hop starts. And we usually take links until the hop ends. The more, the merrier. If a hop has started email us to be included and fill out the doc.
Cost – Our events are free to join but may change in the future.
Please see the instructions for each here:

This mentions several times about the google doc, but I don’t see a google doc or link to one to complete and submit? Confused? Help please?
Hi Elley! I sent you the info. via email when I noticed you added your link. The doc. and linky codes aren’t made public. I hope you’ll join us for the next event in April. If you have questions please email me instead of commenting.
