Prize Draw Complete!
It turns out generating a random selection from my email subscribers was more involved than I thought. Initially I was going to use my normal method of exporting as a text file, importing into a database and using SQL. But then I thought I would use Excel, that has to be quicker and easier, right?
Well not the way I tried. Trust me to over-geek these things.
Then I found a nice formula on the intertubes, and that worked very well, once I had removed the obvious fake or disposable email addresses from my list.
So winners have been notified and I am just waiting for them to identify themselves.
UPDATE: Here are the winners!
- Liz’ ebook and Authority Blogger membership - Lucie McLean
- Teaching Sells membership - Daniel Barker
- SEO Training - QualityGal
- Performancing Ads budgets - Up to now only David Robinson and Matt Bushlow have responded - we might need a re-draw for the rest!
If you didn’t win, don’t you worry, there are LOTS of great goodies on the way with extra special goodness just for email subscribers. Just keep watching your inbox ![]()

Booo. I don’t have an email from you saying “WINNER WINNER WINNER!”. Oh well. Buy me a drink next Friday and I’ll be happy.
I didn’t get notified, I think there was a mistake. I KNOW I won!
You should have checked your spam folder before you hit ‘empty it’
Now who is the winner?
Am I?
Am I not?
Then who?
Very excited to know….chris please announce the winners!
Cool. Congrats to the lucky winners!
Aw! I did not receive the “You are a winner” mail. Anyway, I’d be happy with the subscriber’s bonuses.
