Closed: Zinio Digital Subscription Giveway!


Update: The Giveaway is over. Scroll down to see the winners.

As you may know (if you've been reading this blog), when I'm not blogging, I am a Graphic Designer. And during my years of experience working in various industries, I have witnessed less and less demand for printed magazines (not that to have a magazine subscription was actually a norm). But have readers moved on? Well, right now I am writing this blog and you are reading it on some sort of digital device, be it on iPad, iPhone, Android mobile phones, tablets, laptop or desktop.
With the advancement of technology, instant access to information is now a whole new dimension in itself. For myself, as a blogger, getting instant feedback and comments really adds to the interest of writing for an interested audience. So what has happened to the world of magazines? Well, they have gone virtual too. So, it's not a lesser demand for reading material that has caused this decline. I find quite the contrary.
Not only is digital more convenient - you can access your favourite titles anywhere you are - it is also cheaper and lighter (you don't have to carry so many of them around). And the best part is, they don't clutter your house! At the tip of your fingers you get access to any areas of interest to you.

Well, even if you've never had a printed magazine subscription in your life, here's your chance to get a digital one! Zinio is an online magazine subscription provider, home of the largest newsstand, that carries thousands (more than 5,000 magazine titles, in 33 languages) of top magazines from around the world. Since we each have our own likes and individual interests, there's definitely more than enough choice there to please everyone!

With Zinio, you can browse and purchase subscriptions or single issues instantly from your computer or mobile device to read wherever and whenever you like. The "Explore" section lets you read - even without a subscription - thousands of articles from your favorite magazines and share them with friends.

I infact got one free subscription from Zinio for myself. But guess what?

Zinio is offering 9 more free subscriptions for grabs to the readers of this blog! 

That's right, it's a giveaway for not 1 but 9 lucky winners!! Each winner gets to choose one subscription for ANY titles (not just related to health or recipes or crafts, but anything you like) on Zinio for free!  Subscription lengths vary, some are for 6 months, some for a year, some are just 1 issue... it depends on the title that you will choose.

  1. I love reading digitally but it's not quite the same if you know what I mean? Sometimes reading the beautifully thick glossy donna hay magazine is more special than reading it on the ipad/phone.

    Having said that it's still my choice because I want to save the paper!

  6. I don't know how many years it's been since Eating Well first came out. I loved it at first, and then a few months later it carried a long article full of apologetics for GMO foods. I felt betrayed, and I never bought it again.

  16. While I still prefer paper copies of my magazines for a variety of reasons, it does feel more equal friendly to read the digital versions. I am hoping to win the subscription so that I can start subscribing digitally to a few of my favorites.
