We recently ran a promotion here on bigredtomatocompany to counter what psychologists refer to depressing day of the year, Blue Monday, January 18th.
Anyone signing up to our newsletter between 18th-31st January was automatically entered into a draw to win a copy of Tim Ferriss’ new and expanded The 4 Hour Work Week.
We have long been fans of Tim’s book and much of this site and content have been inspired around principles described in the book.
We recently featured a review of the The 4 Hour Work Week which was a very popular post, so when we had our thinking caps on it wasn’t hard to figure out what book to select for the newsletter promotion.
This is the first time we’ve featured a promotion to sign up to the newsletter because it’s free to sign up and we already give away a FREE ebook copy of Seth Godin’s book, Unleashing The IdeaVirus.
I’m pleased to say it’s been a great success. We like to add value to our readers and we’ll reward subsribers with something similar later in the year, but for those already subscribed rather than for newbies.
So, whilst it’s too late to enter the draw for the 4 Hour Work Week, it’s not too late to sign up and get the FREE ebook Unleashing the Ideavirus. You can do this by clicking here.
We promise never to share your information and you can adopt out at the touch of a button.
The winner of the Beat Blue Monday Draw is Tom Thorpe an internet entrepreneur and owner of a number of UK based websites including Speed Dectors UK
Here’s a picture of Tom with his copy of the 4 Hour Work Week – congratulations Tom, I hope you enjoy it.
