1. I look for blogs that care about content – A strong DA is a good indicator of this.
2. If there is an overwhelming amount of contests/giveaways from networks or blogger programs, it is usually a red flag to me. They’re copy/pasting contest and not adding anything new.
3. Are readers entering, commenting, and sharing the contests?
The reward was nearly 300 comments each day for five straight days, plus numerous shares and tweets. And because the blogger was so busy Transcriberry offered to write the content for each
giveaway, including where readers could learn more about each product and purchase if they weren’t the lucky winner – how nice of me, eh? The total outcome included a preview post, five giveaway posts, and five posts announcing each
winner and earned the client A LOT of attribution.
I was a green academic transcription outreacher when it came to giveaways, but I got lucky and struck gold. I learned a lot right off the bat about what works
and what doesn’t.
What Works for Giveaways
- Offer to help draft up the contest – It really does save time, but don’t get greedy with attribution.
- Make the giveaway awesome – play Oprah online! A grand prize or a week’s worth of prizes is better than one small prize, BIGGER IS BETTER!
- Suggest a post prior to the contest to build excitement.
- If you can, send prizes directly to the winners – it’s much easier.

What Doesn’t Work for Giveaways
- Giveaway/coupon sites – no real value here IMO.
- Think beyond the link. Use your budget on domains that fit your brand best and will add value.
