I enjoy doing these contests and having a source for prizes in the form of HIVE dollars makes it a enjoyable and right thing to do. I think I'm not the only one who gets turned off by these contests that are trying to fund the contests from "upvote" earnings and such thus requiring a person to upvote and re-blog the contest.
I am using the winnings from the recent poker tournament to fund this contest and the Saturday giveaways each week. When I can't win enough regularly I might have to back down on it but all is good for now.
The boy didn't need much persuading. He knows my "look" when I'm talking to him, and the look was all he needed to see as far as getting him down there to the job fair. From there he was all on his own, and he has thanked me plenty of times since then.
Thanks for the continued support,
Sult
