Got an email today from Ali Edwards. Free downloads all month. But first, here are some cumbersome things you need to do first. Starting with Pinterest, which I deleted off my phone months ago.
Anytime there is a giveaway which requires me to leave a comment, then follow someone on multiple social media platforms, then tag a friend, etc, etc. Whatever they're giving away is no longer worth it.
Kelly Purkey, sends an email and says, here's a link to some free downloads. Love that!

I don't know why you would have to follow the Pinterest board to get the digital stamps, because clicking on the image will take you to the website where the stamp is hosted-- right? Unless it's a *secret* on her website that you can't access any other way, you should be able to go right to her website each day.
But I agree with you; the e-mail makes it sound like you NEED to follow the Pinterest board in order to get them. Maybe she's just trying to up her Pinterest following.

The email just gives you a method to gain access to those downloads and makes it look like it's the only way of doing it. But it's not. mom 's right. There's an easy way around it. And yes, I agree, this is a typical method for influencers trying to gain followers on certain platforms. Ali has done this in the past too for her Pinterest following. With it being a month-long endeavour, it allows for a far higher retention rate than just the one-off freebie through Pinterest. People are far less likely to unfollow after half a month of checking daily than just the one time. It's a well-known method to balance out follower counts between several social media platforms and thus solidifying your influencer status/notoriety.

Yep, pass! I'm not going to promote their business for them. I understand the reason why it's done, but no, no, no.

These sorts of complicated processes drive me crazy as well.

I got the one from today along with another free one from DD 2016 because I organized by price and it was also a free option. Is it going to be a 24 hour only thing or will they all be free until the last day? The last time she did one of those, that was the case so I was able to go back and snatch up ones that I had missed out on.

Of all the free giveaways to win something Ali's is one I don't mind. I can make a board, I already follow her, I can make soemthing with the download and pin it to my board and I can wait and see if I win. At least I don't have to spam [ insert number] friends, which is good because I'm not sure I've got three friends to spam! And last time it gave me a little creative jolt (Christmas) and I made 12 tags - and won a subscription for six months.

For the record, I deleted Pinterest a long time ago too. I just went to her website and got them there too.

Not sure about all of them but I got Day 1 and 2 today and day 1 was still free.

I have jumped through the hoops before and probably wouldn't bother again if it was a requirement. I just went directly to her store this morning and was happy that Day 1 was still available (it was early and Day 2 wasn't out there yet) as I thought I missed it. I missed most of them last year and really liked them, so I'm going to try and keep up this year. It may be intended for her to get more followers in general, I suppose.

I don't like the jump through hoops things either. Glad she put them in her store

Oh, I wish I had known there was no need to jump through hoops last year. Or maybe last year I didn't care. But there was one of her freebies last year that I saw on a current IG post from one her team, and man, I loved it. Never mind. I just went to her site, wasn't logged in or anything, and sure enough, the new elements are there under the digital part of her store. No way am I going to mess around with Pinterest or tagging and following, especially not for something I find kinda meh.
