Win4now Tricksters!


Halloween came early for Win4now employee's today.

The evil bosses at Win4now just tricked the more gullible employees to go outside into the freezing cold & pose for a 'company picture'.....

So here we all are, smiling away like the good members of staff we are.

As we descended the stand, we then found out that it was a Halloween hoax just to make us look stupid! (and a good job they did too! lol)

Hard working & loyal, but betrayed by the top dogs. Life would be so much easier if you worked from home huh? :)

Everyone's still laughing in the office how we fell for it!

What type of prizes would you prefer?
Win Pet Food?
Win Pet Beds?
Win free kennel stays?

Let us know!

Also - Do you buy your pets Christmas presents?

Earn money while you shop for Christmas presents

That's right! Get paid for doing your Christmas shopping this year!

Most people are thrifty by using supermarket loyalty cards to earn money off vouchers, but lot's of people still don't know how you can earn money (cashback) when you shop online!

At win4now we’re always on the lookout for new ways to reward our members. Recently we launched SmartSpend, which is our new cashback site that pays you money for shopping on the internet.

It’s the one site that we run where members of staff are allowed to use themselves to benefit from the rewards, so we’ve all signed up and are making money ourselves. With all the talk of recession this year it’s one way to ease the cost of Christmas!

One thing worth knowing is that there’s a really useful tool called the Rebate Catcher which will automatically log any purchases you make where you earn money. We recommend downloading it so that you get all the rewards you deserve.

Our top earners on the site earn hundreds of pounds a month! So Win4now members make sure you don’t miss out by shopping online the old fashioned way this Christmas.

Xmas competitions & meet the marketing team part 5

Christmas is approaching fast (groan), and it's getting to that time when you start researching what prezzies to buy your friends & family members.

Your best competition friend (that's us) is trying to help your bank balance by giving you the chance to win Xmas4now Competitions. Live on the site today!, so have a look and see if Win4now Santa has picked the competitions that you want to win this Christmas.
If were missing a Christmas present MUST HAVE, then write a comment below for Lucy our new competition writer what prizes you want us errr I mean Santa to have on the site.

Here's a little introduction to our very own Santa Lucy:

"My bloke Nick & I bought our first house in the summer so we now have no money! As you can imagine, most of my time (and cash!) are now taken up with DIY and stuff! However, I live on the same road as my sister so we always have someone handy we can rope into helping!

I’m a bit of a gym bunny in my spare time and go as often as I can! It’s a means to an end really though, if I’m honest– the more I go to the gym, the more chocolate/wine I can have! You do the math!
I also read whenever I get a spare minute as I’m sure most of you have probably already noticed and I think it’s fair to say that books are a bit of an obsession with me (yes, I know, I’m very sad!)

Other than that, I like the usual things, TV, music, films and that, but generally what you see is what you get! I have a light hearted view on life and try not to take it too seriously, after all, your only here once as my mum always tells me (she does also tell me not to talk to strangers, but anyway!!)
I’m really looking forward to working with everyone here and would just like to say thanks for, so far, making me feel really welcome!"

Welcome to Win4now Lucy :)

Back from A4U Conferences



Vicky and myself just got back from a week in London, attending lots of networking parties and listening to conferences on the industry.
(Vickys the one writing in the picture, i'm concentrating to the right of her....)

The Affiliate Marketing Conference
is a great event for companies like us to speak to other website owners who have links to our sites and to learn more about how we can improve our sites to make them even better for our users.

Both of us learnt allot and had lots of fun drinking free booze all week! It's a definite detox for us this weekend.

Remember if you own a website, you can contact Vicky on 0114 2815760 to discuss how we can work together.

Star winners fate is in your hands

For a few years now, Win4now has had a daily cash prize of £250.
It's called Star Winner and basically if you see your name in the top right star box, you need to contact us and then you get a £250 cheque from us.
It's a Simple way for us to reward our loyal members.

Do you come back to Win4now weekly to check the star winner is you?
Or would you prefer it if we used the prize money for star winners to make weekly competitions instead?

Let us know what you would prefer - it's your site :)

Ps. I've got to share this good news with you!
Robs car is finally fixed after 2 months in the garage! He wants to run a wacky win4now prize to win his fractured engine piston, but we've told him to stop being silly!

We love food competitions!

Over the weekend I had a cold which ruined my girls night in plans!
So I spent Friday and Saturday curled up on the sofa watching chick flicks and feeling sorry for myself.

By the time it came to Sunday, I was bored so I decided to cook for the first time... well ever really. I made (Jamie Olivers) shortbread buscuits and a funky morroccan chicken main course.
Very exciting and very tasty! (I sadly even text my mum to brag, who was very proud of me)

Check out Win4now's Cookery competitions.
You can win a selection of kitchen gadgets, or win a set of Jamie Olivers Tefal Pans

It's my birthday tomorrow, or fish pie day as we call it now. (i'm being cooked my favourite dinner) maybe i'll win Win4now's birthday prize draw?

ps. This is my favourite recipe site, it's called 101cookbooks, have a look.
