Contest is over. Congratulations Anant! You’re the lucky winner. I will be emailing you to get your theme selection. 🙂 Thanks everyone for entering. 🙂 Contest is closed.
The last Genesis theme giveaway went over so well I thought I’d have one again.
Plus, these kinds of posts are convenient to write when you’re taking a break for the Holidays.
So it’s a win-win for you and me. 🙂
How to Enter & Win
Entering is just as easy as last time. Just reply to the question below (email subscribers enter here) and you will have a chance to win the Genesis framework and a child theme of your choice! (An $80 value).
Since the year is coming to a close and 2013 is only hours away, I figured I’d make the question related to your goals for 2013.
Tell me one thing you will do to promote your site next year that is different from what you are doing now? Or name one strategy you will implement to take your site to the next level?
I will use Random.org to choose a number. The comment number that corresponds to what I draw will be declared the winner. Be sure your email is correct (won’t be displayed) so I can send you the theme files if you win.

One strategy I will implement in 2013 to take my site to the next level is to create an ebook to offer free in order to build my list. I also plan to post more often
I really adore the review of Genesis Theme, but didn’t had any chance to buy it.Stick to Thesis themes almost 8 months right now.
Unfortunalely missed the contest.
This year I m restarted blog about network administration, software tips and other similar things.
Great post, short and sweet. Thanks for the opportunity. I plan to use podcasts to promote my blog and business this coming year. I’ve learned how to serialize it through I-Tunes via rss feeds and I expect to add a few hundred folks to my list to relate with soon. Happy New Year.
I’ll continue doing what i’m doing right now, I’ll just use a custom theme if I didn’t win that. 🙂
to wordpress to do some serious blogging. right now i’m working on my site design. the giveaway is at the perfect time. i’m gonna build a brand image and maybe launch an e-book.
So,who is that lucky winner ?
It’s located at the top.
Lisa I am all the wiser for this post so thanks a lot
I missed the contest..:-(
This year I m planning to create my successful story also by blogging regularly
Lisa, I plan to write me a stellar article and do a press release through PRWeb or some big outfit. I am planning to find me some cheap button ads on middle websites.
I want to get my name out there more.
Definitely treading the social path more in 2013. Perhaps an ebook too ! Best of luck to all.
Creating Church Landing Pages
Our church website attracts visitors but not like we’d like.
So I want to learn how to set up landing pages with one
concept like Communicating with teenagers or married couples
or dealing with toddlers etc.. We need to pass on the valuable
information we have to younger families.
Now that I’ve gained a bit of experience on blogger, in 2013 .. I’d like to move forward with WordPress and start a new site in WP so I can monetize with affiliate links.
Monica.
Thanks for hosting this contest! I am planning on giveing solo ads a shot this coming year!
Planning to start my own model agency website.
What an awesome idea!!! I would love to win as it’s time for me to rebrand my site and my message to make it more targeted and clear. I started last year, just to “get out there and do something!” Now that I have been at it I think that I have a better idea of what I really want to do and a wee bit of how I want to do it. A new theme, a new site, and a clear message- for the New Year. That sounds like an awesome combination.
Thanks for the opportunity!- SUSAN
I am just starting out and I think I am going to go with WordPress (still learning about it through Lisa’s YT videos), I will also be trying social media with Facebook. Thanks for all your help Lisa!
For 2013, I plan to do more videos. I think it’ll bring more visitors than facebook or other social mediums.
I plan to do YouTube videos this year to market my website.
I’ve just started blogging this past year. In 2013, I’m planning a two pronged approach: 1) improve layout with a professional theme and 2) join three key topic relevant forums and actively participate to gain exposure. I like your website very much. Thanks for great content.
I will print business card and T shirts . I will give these T shirts to my friends for free . I will print my blog name and logo on T shirt also with great design or message , so they don’t feel awkward to wear that T shirts in college. I am college student and my college has more than 1500 students. So I think this idea will work for me .
Hi Lisa,
I am going to emphasize more on Youtube, in order to bring traffic to my blog and to complement my articles. Personally, I think that this is the future, at least in my niche.
Hey Lisa,
I got into video towards the end of last year, you know just power point, so this year I plan on stepping right out side my comfort zone and adding narration to them too !! scary stuff eh
Hi Lisa! I’m in the process of revamping or should I say building my blog to get my business moving. After browsing themes, I just purchased the Lifestyle Theme and then came across your site. I’m excited to hear that you love the Lifestyle Theme as much as I think I’m going to. The layouts are crisp, professional and appear to be easy to set up. Now that I found you I’m really looking forward to reading all your tips and information to help me with my blogging.
I currently don’t use any social media like twitter, so I am going to focus on this part this coming year.
Happy New Year!
I will use more social media and videos to promote my site, and study more BEFORE jumping in with both feet.
having a brilliant feeling about this year – especially as he world carried on working after all the rubbish that was going around in Decembers
I recently bought Genesis Framework for my new WordPress site “jatinsharma.in” and I am using balance theme on it.
Well, for the contest I will create a lot of seo optimized content this year on different websites. Make me a winner 😀
Hello and Happy New Year
I am praying that I win, because I know with a paying wordpress site, I can do so many things. I have a free one, with Hostgator hosting it. To be honest…. I cannot afford a paying one. This will be my second time trying to win.
Again, thank you Lisa

Hi Gladys
Well to qualify you need to address the question in the body, otherwise this is not a valid entry.
What a fun drawing!
For 2013 I’m going to try to network a lot more. I not only love blogging, but I love networking through the comments on other people’s blogs. I’m looking forward to making a lot of fun new connections in 2013!
Secondly, I have two separate training video series that I plan on doing , so I hope Youtube will drive some traffic as well.
Finally, I plan on implementing an email list so I can an stay in touch with all of my new followers!
I would try as much as I can to comment on blogs. I think this is one area I don’t have time doing. And also I would want to promote my blog in bookmarking sites. I get alot of traffic from them especially stumbleupon.
In 2013, I plan on promoting my site using YouTube. I believe I can get the most exposure using YouTube and it seems to be the place where my target audience is. I have been skeptical in the past to use it just because of my fear of what I “look like” in front of the camera. However, I’ve learned that what I look like isn’t what’s important. The important thing is getting quality, up to date, information to my readers.
This is an awesome opportunity, thanks! I plan to launch a forum spinning off of my main site. I get lots of back and forth comments in the comment section, and the engagement really draws repeat visitors. So, I figure it’s time to create a forum specifically for discussion around the site’s main topic.
I think community is really going to be necessary following the changes Google has made targeting niche sites.
This year I plan to stop reading so many blogs and “Just Do It!” I already have over 30 pages of content, which is more than enough to get going, but I keep analyzing – should I do it the way this one does or that one does – should I follow this advice or that advice. So I’ve decided to “follow myself” and Just Do It.
This year, I’m going to finally start doing some guest blogging, which I’ve been putting off for months now. I want to use social media more, which sounds easy, but is actually very hard for me. I simple do not enjoy it. I’ve decided to try to focus on Google Plus and Pinterest, since I like them best. I don’t think they’re necessarily best for getting traffic though, but I just can’t be bothered with Facebook.
I don’t have a need for this giveaway, still thanks for helping other bloggers who wanted to try Genesis. Happy New Year and more power to you Lisa!
