Here are some frequently asked questions about The Pledge to help you come tomorrow. I'll refer back to these as we go through The Pledge.
If I pledge on Facebook, do I really have to share my pledge on my wall? Why?
You'll see tomorrow there are three ways you can submit a pledge. If you don't feel comfortable pledging on Facebook, I invite you to consider one of the other two. But if you pledge on Facebook, you do need to follow all the directions, including sharing your pledge on your wall.
The requirement is two-fold. Firstly, it promotes accountability. If you pledge something in secret, the "stakes" aren't nearly as high for you to follow through. Secondly, it also lets other people know about The Pledge. This year I am thankful that several companies stepped up to sponsor great prizes for this. Part of why they do that is because lots of people participate in things like this. By sharing your pledge, it gets others involved and excited so we can make this event better and better each year.
Do I still get entered in the prize drawing if I didn't keep my pledge?
Yes. So long as you have pledged and check in (part of which, you'll see, is reporting on whether you kept your pledge and why) you are eligible for the prize drawing.
Can I win more than one weekly prize?
No, but remember that if you pledge all four weeks you CAN win the grand prize, even if you've already won a weekly prize.
Can I win prizes if I won a weekly or the grand prize last year?
Of course. That pledge was SO 365 days ago...
What if I need help, encouragement, information to help me keep my pledge?
I'll post throughout the week asking how things are going and inviting folks to share their challenges, triumphs, etc. on Facebook and Twitter. If you don't use either, please feel free to email me at any time! I'd be happy to post questions, either in your name or anonymously.
