I Won the Contest and an Xshot Camera Extender!
I never dreamed that just by re-tweeting a message on Twitter, I could win $100!!! The information was right there in front of me. A friend of mine, Heather, gave me the heads up on the offer. Thanks Heather! She said, enter by re-tweeting this “Please follow @murraynewlands @carbonadvicegrp @heatherinbc @Xshot #murraynewlands.com http://bit.ly/qN1FG, RT 2 Win” and so I did! Today I found out that I won!
The contest was an effort to promote launching of a Green Affiliate Marketing blog and to promote green online marketing. Murray Newlands is the author of the fabulous e-book, “How to Twitter Successfully and Gain Followers”. Not only did I win $100 but I discovered a fantastic e-book that takes its readers step-by-step through the process of making twitter work to our advantage. Very interesting reading for those of us interested in using Twitter to promote ourselves whether monetarily or socially.
Now, for the icing on the cake. I won an XShot Camera Extender! I have been wanting one of these and drool every time my friends show me how they have been using one to get great photos. Do you experience that awkward feeling when asking a stranger to take a picture so you can be in a photo along with your friends? When you use the XShot it only looks like someone else took the picture.

The XShot Camera Extender slips into the tripod mount on a camera and has a comfortable nonslip grip that secures XShot in your hand. When you use the XShot Camera Extender, you can be in the picture with your friends! No need to be the one who is left out of the picture.
I’ll be sure to show you my pictures as soon as I start using my XShot.
