Each month we spend thousands of dollars on web advertising and we’re not entirely sure how well it works. So this month we decided to do something different with that money. Something nice for our community.
We’re giving away an Annual Plus subscription every business day in April.
Oh, and we’re throwing in a new iPad 3 for every winner!
Just follow @pluralsight to enter.
Get the ultimate developer learning experience on the ultimate Retina display tablet.
It’s something different, something fun, and if you follow @pluralsight on Twitter you’re already entered!
How do I enter the drawing?
To enter all you have to do is follow @pluralsight on Twitter. Each business day we’ll randomly pick a winner!
When will you announce the winners?
We’ll announce the winner every business day (Mon – Fri) between 4 and 5 PM MDT (GMT-7). Winners will be announced on the @pluralsight Twitter feed and on this blog. Contest starts April 4th and concludes on April 30th.
Can I participate if I don’t have Twitter?
To participate you must have a Twitter account and follow @pluralsight. It only takes a minute to create an account.
Can I participate if I live outside the U.S.?
You can also participate if you live outside the U.S. If we determine that shipping the device is problematic or prohibited in your country, we’ll send you an Amazon gift card for $499 USD.
This contest is only for legitimate Pluralsight followers. You must be following @pluralsight on Twitter to be eligible to win.
And the winners are…..

Already following, but not for iPad instead great articles..wish I be one of the lucky winners!
Following! Well, I always followed you.
@davidrodriguez <—- pick that random user. 
and the next day to him pick me @hasankhanbilal
Great advertising idea- you got my attention
Already following, really love what you guys do! All the best
Great…
I am already following. I must win this time, my annual plus subscription expires soon
and who would not like the new iPad
Don’t you legally need alternative entry methods? I hate Twitter, but love iPads.
You only need alternate methods if a purchase is going to be required. Twitter is free and no purchase is required in any way.
yeah… logged into twitter for the first time in months to do this
pick me pick me
It’s kinda ironic that we are .NET developers winning an Apple product (not hat I am complaining!)…..
Our audience is much broader than just .NET these days, but that said, later this year when there’s a really cool WIN 8 tablet out there maybe we’ll give those away too!
Why not choose me? @mariomeyrelles
All the best!
Mario
Already a follower. Very educational post and series. Thanks for your work.
Let the iPad’s flow! I already have one but someone might need one to help me get things done!
Already followed you man! i’m In!
Logged in followed you man – @forexlinxie, I’m In!
Do I need to do anything to enter the drawing if I already follow @pluralsight?
nope, if you already follow us then you’re already entered.
Good learning site.
I am new here and I love this site. It is perfect for learning basics and updating when swithing to a new techno ! Good job ! @gdelignieres
I am following and already going through John Papa’s Knockout.js training on your site. His training is awsome!
Thanks to you and to John!
Already following…
I hope no april the fool on this
By the way very nice courses, I don’t need to do long distance travel any more..
This is a nice idea. Altough tutorials in pluralsight are much more valuable than gifts but I like to test my chance as well
I have always been following you… you are one of the best teachers in the world. @rohitjejurikar
This is too good to be true!! An iPAD with an Annual Plus Subscription!! Means learning and fun, anywhere, anytime!
I’m sure this’ll reach more than web advertising. Great!
Awesome! Already following anyways, but a fun initiative!
Also nice for the people who are already familiar with Pluralsight and using it already.
Nice initiative! Great for the people who are already familiar with Pluralsight and are already using the course library.
Decided that I’d follow Pluralsight ever since I got a reply to my queries from none other than Keith Brown. It’s just impossible not to go through Pluralsight videos to accomplish tasks at work. These guys have made my life a lot easier.
I aM FOLLOWING.. March march…
Following Plural sight for knowledge sharing and articles
Never used Twitter before until I saw this competition. If only there were a Pluralsight video on how to tweet! Would really appreciate a subscription though as I am a student and money is not so easy to come by, so fingers crossed
Excellent, I cross my fingers in the hope of my name being picked! Well done Pluralsight, great idea
already following you
Fundoo Initiative, iPluralsight
Hey do you get to publish the winners for all to see?
We’ll announce the daily winner on twitter, and on this blog at around 4:00PM MDT each day.
still looking for my name
@Checkkers I so want to win …fingers crossed!
Wish I was the lucky winner…free subscription and iPad could be so handy and timely right now
Excellent news!
Absolutely I am following @pluralsight and keeping my figure crossed. For me it is great fun to receive answer to my question directly from Keith, Aaron, or Fritz.
Great. I am following @pluralsight and waiting for my number to get iPad 3. Always been hoping to get one someday
Done!!!
Hope for better Corporate relationship between us!
Cheers!
Just did it!
I am hoping you’ll guys add some UNIX/Linux courses and certification, along with C++ on Unix. I was really surprised to see C++ taught using VC++.
Hoping to win
Never owned anything apple before I wonder if this month could be the first
wish I could grab one..I have been an active subscriber
!!!!
Web advertisement works well if you are doing it across the right channels as it provides the ability to target specific audiences. Although giving away iPads is a nice way to increase twitter followers, we have observed that it brings a lot of spam followers too, entering just for the prize.
my husband would have liked one for his bday last week, but couldnt make it happen. thanks for the chance for one of us to win and Apple! Only apples in our house are granny smith. LOL!
my husband wanted one for his bday last week but couldnt make that happen this year. So cool all of us have a chance to have an Ipad. The only Apple we have in our house is granny smith. LOL!
thanks!
Today’s winner is @GitaStreet of Denmark! Congrats Gita
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This is a very pleasant surprise
I didn’t even know I was in a competition to win anything. I was following PluralSight because I have an interest in the training. I really look forward to try the Plus Subscription.
Cheers,
From a very happy winner
You are soo lucky!

Its pluss for @pluralsight and its subscribers and, actually, the winners +1
I came here searching for something on iPad development. Would be fun to win one of these so I can complete that Income tax app I have been trying to make
. Following you guys on twitter now.
Thank you, I really appreciate and admire this “Give away” mindset, I mean I already took advantage from two previous offers :
), Free Training is always a good thing, Free and High Quality Professional training is Great !
1. a redeem code offered on “Scott Hanselman’s Computer Zen” Blog (free access for the whole library during march)
2. 02/29 leap day offer.
I’m more interested by the Subscription (but the iPad is very welcome
Thanks again !
BTW : I informed my colleagues about this , and they’re all following and crossing their fingers
Already following…Pluralsight always on top if it is to learn!
Ooooooh, @Steve Woolley, a drawing later this year for a Windows 8 tablet would be awesome! Great idea, too. Of course, I’m still excited about the possibility of winning an iPad *and* another year of Plus! (I assume we’re still eligible to win a year of “Plus” if we’re already in the middle of a subscription?)
Now, I need to find some time and get back to my C# training…
Yes you are eligible. We’ll just extend you out by an additional year if you win!
Definately got my attention LOL Love it! @o7thWD
Amazing like all your courses!! PluralSight … if you wanna be more impressive (to me) pick me @RecodOfGod , hahahaha.. it’s a joke, by the way congrats to the winner!!!
Best Regards

Congratulate with me @NewCodeGeek of Connecticut, USA. Winner of an iPad and Annual Plus subscription. You could be a winner too.
Still no winner from Asia region. Hope I will the first
I am wandering, there is no winner from Pakistan yet. I see randomly chosen people are mostly from Europe. I am following pluralsight at twitter with hope, may be some day i have chance to win free course and ipad too,but the pattern of winner’s list make be disappoint.
The daily drawing is completely random from all of our followers. 9 more iPads to go!!
You know, its because the ratio of Europeans and Americans vs Pakistanis is very high. Hence, they have a higher chance of winning. in the meantime, it would be great of you could use the valuable courses that we get on this website.
Congratulations @MonicaPDiaz of CA,USA! Today’s winner of an Annual Plus sub and iPad. Who will be tomorrow’s winner?
Congratulate with me @codingrobot winner of today’s Annual Plus subscription and iPad! You could win too!

Congrats to all the winners so far!
@HelenaR3
Congratulation @waleander today’s random winner of an iPad and Annual Plus Subscription. Who might be next?
I am over the moon for getting picked; never new a reward programme as this would even start when I followed Pluralsight on twitter. I just graduated and as if my mind was read randomly by the system I had designs on starting the training in June. Surely arranging electrons can’t get more exciting than this, looking forward to an in-depth learning experience under your tutelage. Thanks
Congrats!
I should be the next… @RosceCarlos
Great. I am following @pluralsight and waiting for my turn to get gifted. Always been hoping to learn new things in a much newer way !

Congratulate with me @mdinakar of Chennai, India. Today’s winner of an Annual Plus subscription and new iPad! Who will be the next random winner?
Training videos are awsome.
How do you confirm valid/legitimate pluralsight user?
How do you validate legitimate pluralsight user?
We pull a list of all of our followers every day and then we run a random number generator and choose a winner. How do we pull the list? Our developers wrote some code to do it. I just get an Excel spreadsheet ever day with all the followers twitter handles. Today we’re up over 23k.
