Background - Why I'm starting this blog

I am a newbie to blogging so bear with me as I get the hang of how this works. I never thought of myself as a blogger but I recently became a crowdtap member and noticed that many of the other members have a blog.

For those that don't know about crowdtap, they are a marketing company that use people like me and you to provide thoughts and information on a variety of products via survey type "quick hits", focus discussions, sample and share, and hosted party events. Check out their web page for more information on their mission http://crowdtap.it/about-us/.

I received an email from Old Navy to join with the promise of getting free product samples.....twist my arm! My husband thought I was crazy and wasting time but after putting some time into it I am finally getting selected for sample and share (i.e. get a free product and tells us about it).

My first sample and share was a dress from Old Navy. I received one coupon for me and one for a friend in the mail. After picking out the free dress, I filled out the required report and posted a couple pics of me and my girlfriend in our cute new dresses. I got an excellent report which I thought was awesome for my first time. However, I think I can do better and I think starting a blog about the sample and share experience might be my ticket to a top report!

The reports have a character limitation so I was limited in what I could say in response to the questions. Blogging about each experience will allow me unlimited characters to say exactly what is on my mind. My plan is to write a blog post about each experience and post pictures of all the items we try on. I will blog first so this will help me focus on the points I really want to get across in the final report. I believe top reports can get cash awards so I really hope this plan works. Wish me luck!
