Vote for me, win a free Nintendo DSi and Rhythm Heaven game!

Do I have your attention?

YOU GUYS.

(or true to my Memphis roots) -

Y’ALL.

I think I found my dream [freelance] gig. Seriously.

From the description on the website:

Have you ever thought of yourself as a wordsmith? Do you enjoy journaling? Do you love sharing advice and spreading your infectious good mood to others? You might be perfect for this position…For six months, you’ll be responsible for writing a daily blog article about your good mood and all the things in your life that bring a smile to your face.

Considering Minnesota blog catalog, Newsbobber said this about me/my blog:

Doniree, a Twin Cities transplant from Memphis, fills most of doniree.com with how much she loves her life and the people around her. Whether she’s writing about family, friends, roommates, other bloggers, food, wine, travel or whatever else she’s up to, you will almost never hear a complaint out of her.

(Special thanks to the awesome ladyblogger that may or may not have said those things about me)

I’ve had a reputation my whole life for being a relatively positive person. So when I saw this? I JUMPED.

But! I need your help!

Part of the app process is proving to the Powers That Be that I understand and believe in the power of this thing called viral marketing and social media. And you all know how much I do! If you follow me on Twitter, you might’ve noticed a few peeps out of me about this over the last couple of weeks. I’ve had some great support already from friends and family, but really wanted to tap further into my amazing network of friends, readers, and bloggers far and wide.

How can you help?

Go vote! In the first couple of weeks, I reached almost 200 votes, but I’ll need a couple thousand (ah!) to make this happen. You have through November 6 to cast your votes (and you can vote more than once, so check back in every couple of days!), so help me out!

What’s in it for you?

Good karma, my undying love, and free stuff!

Yes, free stuff. Thanks to the fantastic folks at Brand About Town (FTC disclosure rules, take THAT!), I happen to have an extra Nintendo DSi AND Rhythm Heaven game on my hands.

The best part? You have the chance at a TON of entries. No joke. This is going to get crazy.

How to enter:

Go vote (even if you already have!), and leave a comment here telling me you did! You can do this every day from now through November 6 and leave a comment each time for more and more entries.
Tweet about it and ask your friends to vote for me too! Leave a separate comment linking back to your tweet every time you do and I’ll count each of those entries.
Write a blog post about it encouraging your friends and readers to vote for me too. This is kind of a bonus as you can enter FIRST once you blog (and comment here linking me to it!), and then comment/enter again every time that blog post of yours gets a comment letting you know someone else voted!

See? Tons of chances to win because I love you (and need you and think this would be awesome).

If you already have a Nintendo DSi (fellow Brand Enthusiasts, holler!) and don’t want another one to gift to that special gamer in your life (Christmas IS just around the corner…), I’ll send you SOMETHING equally as cool to thank you for your efforts. Just tell me you don’t need one, and I’ll send you something else to say thanks. Promise.

Clear as mud? Awesome. Again, the voting is from now through November 6, and is open to anyone, anywhere because I need as much help as possible! So my readers in the US, Canada, France, Oz, and the South Pacific (or wherever else!)- get in on the vote too!

Thanks, lovelies – wish me luck!
