Welcome to the “End of Summer Giveaway Event” sponsored by Tip Hero and featuring some wonderful bloggers. With summer soon drawing to a close (unfortunately), we thought a great big giveaway event would be the perfect pick-me-up!

Subscriptions at Your Fingertips And A Giveaway!

(Disclaimer: I was not paid for this post, however I did receive a free subscription thru the Zinio service for this post.)


As a child, I use to love getting magazine subscriptions in the mail and then comb over every inch of what was included. Nowadays, things have changed. Instead of waiting to receive them in the mail, we can have them at our fingertips any day or time.

Zinio is an app that will give you access to the world’s largest newsstand! (Available thru most phone apps (iOS, android and Windows).) Not only can you subscribe to your favorite magazines (some at a discounted rate) but also have access to free articles each week from around the world.

  • Delivered more the 70 million digital issues in 2012.
  • Search, save and share stories from more than 5,000 magazine titles (33 languages).
  • Consumer Choice – Best Global App winner at 2012 Online Marketing Summit

Zinio has also opened up a new service called Z-Pass, which is a really awesome deal.

    • Get 3 new magazines for $5 every month.
    • Keep the same 3 or swap your titles every month and explore.
    • Keep your current subscriptions as they are if you like, and use Z-Pass to test out new magazines instead of committing to a full year of something new!

Zinio has been gracious enough to partner up with Down Home Traveler to offer nine readers a free magazine subscription! (Subscription length depends on which title is chosen.) What better time than in the middle of summer to sit next to the pool or in your comfy chair and enjoy your new subscription!

Good luck!
