Hello everyone and welcome to this lecture we're going to talk about giveaways. So you can grow your audience you can grow your followers by giving away stuff. Now, when you decide what to give away, it has to be relevant to your audience. So for example, if I'm giving away something on the Liverpool account, it has to do with Liverpool so maybe a Liverpool t shirt and probably I'm going to do a Liverpool t shirt giveaway in the near future. If I'm going to give away something on digital lifestyle, maybe I will give away a one month of a software that you can use to to like to follow to unfollow people on Instagram because the main product there is to grow your Instagram account and and people who follow me want to grow their Instagram. So I would give away something like a free month of only pulled or a free month of Instagram, Switzerland.

Which is another software I use to grow my Instagram account. Now there are two ways to go. So basically you can go the easy way and organize a giveaway by sharing a post sharing like I'm giving away a T shirt. And if you want to enter, leave a comment with I participate and take three friends, three friends who are interested in in that niche so if I'm giving away a T shirt in the Liverpool niche, I will tag three friends who are also Liverpool fans. So this way they will know about my account, so they would follow me if they want to participate. They follow they leave a comment with another three friends.

So that's how it works. After that, you just take all the comments and put it into random.org. So this is the website. Basically if you have 100 entries or maybe 200 just put in You have 200 entries. And you will, you will give a number to each entry. Anyone who participated anyone who left a comment, and you just hit generate, and it will give you a number.

So they're not the winner is number 78. Then you look up the list with number 78. And they want the free t shirt and you send it to them. And that's it. Or you can use the software and the one I recommend is green.io, where you can organize different kinds of Giveaways on social media, not just Instagram, on Facebook on any other platform. So this one is for Instagram.

And this is how it looks like. So after you do the signing up, by the way, it's a free software you can use it for free. And this is how it looked like people would land on this page on mobile or on desktop. It really depends. And this is what would be See, here, you can put the text, like giving away a free t shirt or whatever you're giving away, you can put a nice picture. And there are eight ways to enter.

And you can select, you can enter by using Instagram. So that is one entry point. If you visit the, if they visit your account, there's another point if they view the photo, one photo on your account, that's one more point and at the end all this this software will do, it will analyze so if people do this more time, they will get more entry points they will get more chance to win. And at the end when I don't know maybe do it for five days. 10 days after that the software will give you a winner based on what they did. If they entered with your Instagram if they visited and followed you on Instagram that worth more points and after that, it will calculate The winner, and it will give you a winner.

And it's that simple. I really suggest you can. You can do this when you have, I don't know, maybe 1000 followers. If you don't have any followers and you want to go, you can start with the giveaway. But you have to be careful because giveaways people see something is for free, they will automatically even if they are not interested in your product or your or service, they may enter so I'm really not interested in for example, dog accessories. But if somebody tags me, I have a friend who might be interested in I sign up for the giveaway, maybe I win the I don't know some accessory for dogs.

I give it to my friend and after that, I will not follow that account so it softens up your audience so you have to be careful with giveaways because if people see something is for free, they will ultimately Quickly, yeah, I want that free stuff. And after that they are not interested in your product and your service. It's really hard. So if you build from zero audience based on giveaways, that audience is going to be so diverse, it's not going to be really niche down to your product or service. So you have to be careful with this. I showed you the two methods you can use gleam just be creative and post one image like I'm giving away this if you want to enter in the comment section, write something or text somebody who might be interested in and then you take the comments and go to random.org.

And that's how you do it. So thank you for listening and see you in the next one. Goodbye.
