What is Countdowntowin.com?

Countdowntowin.com is a giveaway site where members sign up, log in, and Countdown To Win. Put more clearly, people sign up to the site, become members, create a profile, talk to other members and watch as a countdown timer counts down to zero then gives away the prize being shown to one lucky random member who is logged in at the time of the drawing. And it's completely free.

The concept is very simple and there really is no catch. Members never have to pay anything and they are not bombarded with intrusive advertising. So how does it work?

How Countdowntowin.com works.

Each giveaway is sponsored by a company or any advertiser who is looking to get there name out there. There is a review of the advertiser, company, product, or anything else that they want to promote written by me. It is an honest review and there could be positive and/or negative comments in it. The idea is to get people used to the way I review a company, product, service, or website then they will not see it so much as advertising but more as a service to them. As they are watching the timer count down and enjoying the social networking aspects of the site, they can read the reviews and click on links in them to go directly to the advertiser's site if they find them interesting. Countdowntowin.com is meant to be a fun, socially interactive website where people can win great prizes.

It Can Only get Bigger!

The real excitement comes as the member base grows. As more people becomes members of the site, more advertisers will come on board and that means bigger prizes. The size and quality/monetary value of the giveaway prize is directly proportional to the number of members and traffic levels the site has. This easily equates to more members = bigger advertisers = bigger prizes. So it is definitely worth it to tell all your friends about it.
