YOUR Responsibilities as a FOODIE

Good evening, Fellow Foodies!  I hope this post finds everyone doing well.  Today, I want to cover with each of you what your responsibilities are for being a FOODIE on our site.  Now, before I even get into this, there are a few PREREQUISITES you must satisfy:


1.  SIGN UP to be a FOODIE on our website.  It is fast, easy, and free!  The link is listed below:  http://www.foodiegems.com/become-a-foodie.html


2.  LIKE our Facebook Fan Page.  This is as simple as clicking a button!  The link for that is below:
http://www.facebook.com/FoodieGems


3.  FOLLOW US on Twitter.  This also takes almost no time at all!  You can find as @foodiegems.


4.  Follow this blog!  It's as simple as a click of the FOLLOW button!


Now, the above four steps combined should take you less than 3 minutes tops!  Now, why is it so important to have all these items taken care of?  Great question!


First off, we want to make sure we keep everyone plugged in through the appropriate channels so that communication gets right to you, regardless of which one you favor most.  Just think of it as our way to "hedge the bet" and ensure that you are getting the most current information that FoodieGems puts out. 


Why is that so important?  Wow!  You do ask a lot of questions!  But that's ok, I like that in a Foodie!  One thing you are going to learn very quickly about FoodieGems.com is that WE WANT TO HAVE FUN!  We love a good laugh just like the next person.  And much of what we do will definitely be centered around making our Foodies smile.  Now, one way that we will be doing this is through contests!  Yes, you read correctly:  CONTESTS!


Our website will run different contests centered around food.  Some of the upcoming FoodieGems.com contests we will be running include:


-FoodieFails!  Send us a picture of your greatest FoodieFail showcasing your greatest achievement in the world of complete and total failure in food preparation!  Each time we run the contest, we will have a different "category", whether it be cake-baking, Mexican Food, or Microwave Disasters! 


-FoodieCaptions!  We will send you some random pictures centered around food and we want to get your creative juices flowing!  Whoever can come up with the most clever caption (and get the most votes from our Foodies) WINS!


-FoodiePranks!  Send us your best video of a food prank involving an item/items and whoever gets the most votes WINS!


We have plans for many more contests, but these are just a few that we want to share with you to start stirring up the pot!


What kind of prizes are we talking about?  Great question; I'm glad that you asked!


We will send you a $50 gift card/gift certificate to the FoodieGem restaurant our choice!  The only criteria as to which restaurant you can receive a gift card for is that it has to be listed on our site.  But you also play a part in that also!  How? 


Every time you recommend a restaurant to us that you believe should be a part of FoodieGems, simply submit them using the link below:
http://www.foodiegems.com/hunt-for-gems/index.php


When you submit a restaurant and they meet all the criteria to become a GEM, we will send you a $25 Gift Card to that restaurant.  It's just our way of saying THANK YOU for finding this GEM! 


CAUTION:  You cannot do any of these items unless you do the first 4 items I listed at the beginning of this post.  If you don't sign up as a Foodie on our site, we cannot send you your prize.  How tragic would that be?  Tragic, I tell you!  Not quite as tragic as running out of flour when you are trying to make Nutella Crepes on a Sunday afternoon, but pretty close!


I know, I know.  Either your head is spinning or your stomach is growling.  In either case, it's time to go.  Please do what you need to do to get yourself in a place where you are ready to be a part of the FoodieGems.com Family!  We can't be family without you in it!


So our next post will be about a few things we are working on with our website.  But we are going to also talk about a very special contest that we will run beginning October 1, 2011.  But before I can even share that with you, YOU HAVE TO BE A FOODIE!  Trust me, the prize is pretty great!  Stay tuned.....


So please take care of the 4 items I mentioned earlier?  Your scroll bar is broken?  No problem, I can cut and paste with the best of them.  Here they are again:


1.  SIGN UP to be a FOODIE on our website.  It is fast, easy, and free!  The link is listed below:  http://www.foodiegems.com/become-a-foodie.html


2.  LIKE our Facebook Fan Page.  This is as simple as clicking a button!  The link for that is below:
http://www.facebook.com/FoodieGems


3.  FOLLOW US on Twitter.  This also takes almost no time at all!  You can find as @foodiegems.


4.  Follow this blog!  It's as simple as a click of the FOLLOW button!


Thank you all for your time.  I hope you all have a great evening and take care of yourselves and each other.


God Bless
