Understand all the rules
Entering a new giveaway can be pretty exciting, but you need to be practical. And that means you need to read through all the guidelines of the giveaway and really understand what is required of you as an entrant. Understanding the rules will really help stack the odds in your favor, so check if there are any restrictions you need to meet to enter the giveaway or if there are conditions that could disqualify your entry.

Be a thoughtful entrant
Companies host giveaways to increase their followers. Being considerate about the host may just help you win the giveaway. We recommend helping the host out by perhaps doing some social media tagging and sharing for them. So, once you submit your entry, you can share the entry on your social media accounts - this will help your entry stand out and the host will be pleased you are putting the word out about their brand. Bonus activities like this could just tip the scale to your benefit when the host has to choose a winner.
Pick restricted giveaways
By this, we mean you should, ideally, pick contests and giveaways that have more restrictions. So, a giveaway with a short turnaround time is an excellent option. This is because the less time there is to join a certain giveaway, the fewer the entries the host will receive, which means your chances of winning are a lot higher. Similarly, if the host is only accepting entries from a certain city or state, it’s safe to assume they will receive fewer entries, which could work out well for you if you live in the city or state from which entries are accepted.
