Building Back to School Link Up & Giveaway!!

*NOTE: After week 1 of this linky, I've made some changes to the game plan. They're highlighted.

Hey Friends! So I’m taking the plunge and hosting my very first linky party! I’m looking for participants in my Building Back to School Link Up & Giveaway!! The goal of the link up is to encourage and prepare teachers with tips and tools for Building Back to School. This linky is designed to be as simple or as elaborate as you prefer, so read on and join in!

The linky will run for five weeks, with a new post each Monday. Here's the rundown:

To Participate:

There are THREE ways to participate! Choose just one or jump in on all three:

1. Contribute a product for one or more of the five giveaway days! This is a simple and effective way to promote your products & store! To contribute to the giveaway, sign up here.
2. Link Up for one or more of the weekly Building topics! My posts will go up each Monday morning at 6am. Feel free to link up any time after that. Each linkup will stay open until the end of August!
3. Share Share SHARE!! Use the generic image above on your blog & social media, or get images with the weekly topics here. This is a sample of the specific images:

Guidelines for Linking Up:

• Sign up on the Google Form so I know you plan to link up.
• Each week, blog about a tip, trick, or resource pertaining to the week’s theme. Remember to include high quality pictures. Photos of ideas & products in action are best! Also remember that readers are more likely to read posts that are short and to the point than super lengthy. Keep it simple!
• Link up on Monday mornings after 6am. Please use your permalink: the link to your specific blog post pertaining to this hop. Please do NOT link to your store, your general blog url, etc. I will send out an inlinkz code each week to add to the bottom of your page. In order to receive it, you must have filled out the Google Form.
• For each post, use the header provided, the linky image, or both. The file with all of these images (and everything else you need for this linky) is here. Here is an example of the header:

• Somewhere in your post, include a link back to my page. The linky images are great for this.
• I’ll be hosting a Rafflecopter group giveaway each week. This is optional, but encouraged! If you’d like to participate in the giveaway, please enter the information for your giveaway products on the google form. CHANGE OF PLANS: If you'd like to do a giveaway, please host a rafflecopter on your page. This will be less work on me and encourage more hopping! Your giveaway can be the focus of your blog post, or something else related to our topic of the week. Use one of these optional giveaway graphics to highlight your giveaway product. You'll need to note in your blog that to enter, readers need to head back to the Rafflecopter on my post!

• I will also be hosting a sale each week! This is optional for you as well. My sales will coincide with the theme of the week. For example, during the “Writing Tools” week, I will have all of my Writing Centers on sale. Use one of these optional sale graphics to advertise your sale.

• After you link up, make sure to be a friendly blogger and check out other blogs that have linked up! Please leave meaningful comments on several other posts, before and after yours!

And that’s it! As I mentioned, this is my very first attempt at a linky, so I REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate your participation and feedback!

Also, make sure to connect up with me on Facebook & Instagram! I look forward to making new friends on this adventure! :)
