A Different Kind Of Blog Promoting Bonanzle

I have seen so many blogs that are just wonderful and full of information about Bonanzle. A social selling site that I personally love as you can see from what I mainly blog about. Today however I got a message from a fellow Bonanzle member letting me know she featured my booth in her blog. Which of course I thanked her for. It is always nice when someone takes the time out to feature you or promote your booth, store, website, blog etc.

Well I headed over to read her blog. What I found was just like Bonanzle. Everything but the ordinary. I would have a hard time even explaining it, but basically it is an ongoing story that she adds a new post to every Tuesday. The booths she features get a picture & link but the blog itself is something very very special. She has found a way to mix her love (and much talented I have to add) for fiction writing with a way for her to help promote Bonanzle.

I found this so new and different I felt I needed to share it with everyone.

Be sure to follow her and check back on Tuesdays for new and exciting reading.
Very talented person here!

I am proud to see my avatar/booth on her outstanding blog!

Read below to see how it is played. There is no obligation to purchase, but with all the great deals you will want to. All you need to do is make a coupon for BBU with whatever percentage off you choose and add your booth coupon code BBU and what percent off it is to the list. It can only be used on children's items.

All Bonanzalers are welcome to be part of the BABY BOTTOM’S UP. It is a Baby/Youth Selling game on Thursdays! It is a great group to be a part of and a wonderful way to increase sales too! All you have to do is add your booth and what sale discount you are offering on Baby & Youth items in the Sign Up Thread (link is all over this blog post). Each week you want to participate Just sign up again in the new BBU thread for the current week. The sale time begins midnight Wednesday and runs until midnight on Thursday PST (Bonanzle Time).

Bonanzle Voted Best eBay Alternative Of 2008

This I must say does not surprise me in the least. Back in July Bonanzle won as the Best eBay alternative site by Ecommerce Guide. It was obvious then Bonanzle was well on it's way and has been proving itself over and over again each passing day with it's amazing growth.

Now Bonanzle has been named yet again the Best eBay Alternative site, this time by the readers vote for Best eBay alternative of 2008 at SmallBusinessComputing.
In their words Bonanzle was "The runaway winner in the eBay Alternative category" so as we can see it was not even a close finish. Apparently Bonanzle topped the charts in votes! To me being a seller and buyer on Bonanzle I can see why they are winning the awards and topping the charts as I see it first hand as a user all of the time.

Way to go Bonanzle! Those of us over on Bonanzle already have known from our own experience that they are by far the best alternative, but to win this has to have Bill Harding feeling very proud, as he should be since Bonanzle is his site, and what he has created with his perfect blend of shopping,socializing & simplicity is, well it is simply outstanding.

Thank you to the great minds who have given us all at Bonanzle THE BEST eBay Alternative by far!
