Have you entered our BIG £300/$500 giveaway yet? only two more days to go!
Savvy Scot is happy to join its sister sites Reach Financial Independence and Make Money Your Way for a HUGE giveaway, as RFI turns two and MMYW turns one!
It has been a great year over at Make Money Your Way. 178 posts from that first welcome one, almost 150,000 pageviews, over $10,500 in revenue, 10% donated to sponsor young girls’ education in my village, a PR3, and thousands of comments and positive feedback that made it a fantastic experience.
So to celebrate and say THANK YOU, I am giving away some cold hard cash!
Over the next month, you can enter for a chance of winning $500 cash via Paypal or an iPad mini 64gb, up to you! Shipment to the U.S., Canada, the UK and mainland Europe is included if you choose the iPad.
Here is the widget, good luck!
