Columbus, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/27/2015 -- Christmas is the season for giving, for putting others first and for filling the world with a little more kindness. Helping to make someone else's Christmas a little brighter through small acts of kindness is a reflection of the season, and doing so for strangers embodies the charitable spirit of the season. The Candid Writer is a blog where the sole focus is helping others, and it has embraced the festive spirit by launching a second annual Christmas giveaway competition, featuring the chance to win one of two fifty dollar VISA gift cards.

The gift cards will be given to the two people who excel at a task designed to help people gain mastery over Pinterest – itself an invaluable skill that will help writers connect themselves to new audiences in the future. Individuals must create a board entitled Candid Writer Christmas Giveaway, then populate it with at least five posts from the blog. Every re-pin over 5 will get people another entry into the prize draw.

The Pinterest Contest gift cards themselves can be spent on anything the winner wishes, it is simply an incentive to introduce people to the principles of Pinterest marketing, a guide to which can be found on the Candid Writer website for extra help.

A spokesperson for The Candid Writer explained, "This is the second of our annual Christmas blog giveaways. The Candid Writer blog reaches thousands of readers every month and holding an annual giveaway is a meaningful way to reach out to fans of the blog and to others that may not be aware of it yet. With that said the Candid Writer has already given away hundreds of dollars in prizes through its contests in its second year of growth and hopes to contribute thousands more in the future, every year during the holiday season."
