Site News & $400+ In Free Prizes

Posted on 01.27.2009 at 4:31 pm by in Contests, HIF News

HIF is undergoing some super awesome changes this week, (new server! new writers! and more!) and so I thought I’d take a minute to explain them. Oh, and maybe you’d be interested in learning that I’m giving away over $400 in prizes as well? Yeah, that’s what I thought!

You may remember that a while back I put out a call for additional writers. Well what you may not know is that I’ve since found the writers I was looking for and they’ve joined the crew! I’ll let them introduce themselves as they start posting, but long story short we’ve got two people working on finding the best coupons available and two more hunting down deals and steals. Throw in the freebies and reviews that we already post and there’s not much we’re leaving out in the way of saving you money.

I’m also moving HIF to a new server as we’re pretty much causing our current box to melt. The only reason I bring this up is to say that our downtime should be significantly reduced during times of peak traffic. About time, right?

And finally, you’re probably sitting there wondering what’s up with the $400+ in prizes I alluded to earlier. Well starting tomorrow I’ll be giving away gift cards and cold hard cash for five days straight. Why? Because it’s been a while since I’ve done so, that’s why!

It’ll be super easy to enter into the contests as well. Each morning I’ll provide instructions on how to enter and then that evening I’ll pick a winner. Rinse, wash, and repeat until I’ve given everything away.

The first prize tomorrow will be a $50 Walmart giftcard, so be sure to check out the site in the morning and spread the word!

    Please define morning and evening. It’s 2:07 AM here on the east coast (give or take a few minutes for my slow connection to upload this brief message), but no contest info posted yet.

  55. #55 Serena | January 28th, 2009 at 03:02 am

    why is it that every contest and giveaway starts in the morning? what about us nightowls and third shifters who are nocturnal?! When do we night creatures get a contest that starts at say 2:45am? Looks like I’ll be setting the alarm for mid-morning/afternoon, avoid the crowds

  56. #56 Lisa | January 28th, 2009 at 03:31 am

    *kisses*

    yay!
