🎉 Prize draws: how to win and earn money 🎁
In 2019, prize draws have become a major part of social networks. You can’t go through VKontakte or Instagram without stumbling upon another giveaway. And there are reasons for this, which we will discuss in this article.
What is a giveaway, how did it come about, and what prize draws to choose to avoid being deceived. We talk about this in detail in the article.
What is a giveawayGiveaway is a prize draw or competition, the main goal of which is to collect subscribers. They often appear on Instagram and VKontakte, feeling that these are the most popular social networks in Russia.
And the work of giveaways, as users call them, is not as difficult as it seems.
Typically, you subscribe to the organizer's page, to the partner pages, if any, and wait for the competition to end. Then the organizer randomly selects a winner and he receives the prize.
And you've seen it thousands of times before the Internet. It's not for nothing that lotto was popular in the Soviet Union and in the early 2000s. Prize draws work on the same principles. In 2019, this situation hasn't changed at all, and giveaways are the most popular way to promote on social networks.
Whether or not to participate in giveaways is up to you. But if you're seriously considering taking Lady Luck by the tail and making her give you an expensive gift, read on. We'll tell you about five principles that you should adhere to when participating in giveaways.
1 Look at the number of competitions that the organizer launches.
If the organizer holds prize draws on a regular basis, do not hesitate to take a closer look at their contests. Organizers who are seriously engaged in creating raffles rarely use them for deception.
And only isolated cases of competitions lead to the fact that the organizers either forget to summarize the results, or silently disappear into the fog. We are sure that there is no need to talk about the resentment that you experience in such a case. Despite the fact that in such a case you do not bear any financial losses. But if there are any financial losses, they can be compensated by earning money on the Internet.
2 Look at the reviews
The Internet is a place of self- regulation. If people do their job right, they get praise. And if they don't, well, you know what happens. Public condemnation was and remains the best indicator of whether a prize draw is good or not.
Therefore, do not sign up for prize draws if the reviews consist only of negative comments. Let's say more – do not contact the organizers if at least three out of ten comments are negative.
After all, the rest are probably bots or members of the organizing team.
3 Don't participate in giveaways from fake accounts
No matter how much you want to hide your online activity from your friends and acquaintances, it is pointless to participate in the contest from a second page. Remember that the main goal of the organizers is to gain subscribers. Prize draws are not organized just to give out gifts.
Therefore, most experienced organizers carefully monitor that participants actively use social networks. And the terms and conditions often separately state that you will be given the game to another winner if the first one's account turns out to be fake.
4 Choose prize draws with the fewest participants
Competition is a nasty thing. And when there are more than a couple thousand competitors, it's even worse. And every giveaway attracts a frightening number of people, even if the prize is worthless.
But giveaway is a free format, and it will attract people from all over the Internet. And along with this, competition will grow. And the chances of winning will rapidly decrease. Therefore, we advise you to turn to those competitions where the number of participants is significantly lower.
This is where math comes in and shows that your chances skyrocket. For every thousand people who don't see the prize draws you want, you have more chances to win.
5 Participate in several giveaways at once
This point follows from the previous one, but it significantly increases the chances of winning. Again, this is easy to check if you turn to mathematics. We will not give complex mathematical formulas, and we hope that you will simply take our word for it.
Because this principle is familiar to us from the cradle. But for some strange psychological reason we forget about it and hope that luck will smile on us. Fortunately, prize draws in 2019 are not uncommon, and you can easily find suitable ones without hundreds of thousands of participants and profitable prizes.
