We are so excited to announce this fun, new contest!!

All you have to do is make a video and post it on YouTube! Here are the rules of the contest:

1. Record a video that has to do with Couponing 101 - something that will help newbies get started saving money and using AFC to their advantage!

2. You must mention A Full Cup in the video and provide the link to AFC in the video and in the description of your video on youtube. Adding intro text or credit text with afullcup.com would be a bonus.

3. Please post a link to your video in this thread. We will get it added to the list here in the OP for everyone to check out.

4. Please adhere to AFC's rules and guidelines when posting couponing ideas.

5. Prizes will be awarded as a Gift Certificate to either Amazon, Walmart or Target. The categories/prizes are:

        Most number of votes, views and comments - $100 GC
        Best video tip - $75 GC
        Overall best video - $75 GC

Here is a sample video that xboxundone has done to show you how easy it can be! You can make yours much more extravagant of course, but we'd love to see any and all entries!!




Your video may even be selected to be put on the Escalate Media/ A Full Cup youtube account or featured on the AFC home page!

Be creative!!! There are so many fun ideas that you can do! Make it fun! And get your videos on sooner than later - then you have more time to get lots of votes!!

Ideas to get you started: How do you prepare to save? (go to your shopping list, check your coupons, print,...). Here I am on my shopping trip.... Here's everything I got for this much.... How my kids "help"...

Ideas to get votes:

• Post your videos to your facebook, myspace, twitter, etc...
• Put your video link in your signature line!
• Supporting members may post a thread in the Vote For Me forum!

Great contest idea. Have fun and good luck everyone!

By the way - AFC Team members are welcome to join this contest!!

[bargainshopper]

Sounds like fun! I wish that I had a video camera also!

[linz152]

Fun! That's a great idea and a great contest!

[monica]

I know a lot of little cameras have the option to do small videos on them. If you don't own one, see if someone will let you borrow theirs. Maybe if you promise to share a little prize money.

Mine camera only takes about 15 seconds.. that would be a very choppy video! Maybe a friend that is on the site would want to do it together!

You can do it together, but only 1 of you can submit it so you would have to share the prize. (which is better than no prize )

You don't necessarily have to have a video camera to make a video..... ooooh but I can't give a way my secrets... cause I might want to win this...

[Kmchamplin]

Great idea! I can't wait to see some of the videos that the members come up with.

Plus, you can use a digital camera with a larger memory card to video it.

[VintageTink]

You can enter as much as you like.

BUT you are limited to only winning one of the prizes.


Also people remember even though its a video if you are creative you could do just a text and photo video

[Kmchamplin]

By the way...nice video David.

[VintageTink]

i just finally watched it ( i tried THREE TIMES before anyone would shut up here long enough for me to hear it) it was great

[ChelleMorty]

OH...I really should try making a video and enter this. It sounds like LOTS of fun. Now if I could just find the time to get it done. I loved the video example to. How fun is this!! Maybe I can get my kids to help me? Thanks!
