1. Don’t just retweet: Retweet giveaways are pretty easy to enter, which is what makes them so hard to win. That’s why it’s important that you enter giveaways in which the promoter asks you to comment, reply, or send a photograph - the number of entrants for such giveaways is quite less, so you have a better chance of winning. If you do enter retweet contests or giveaways, enter as late you possibly can to ensure your entry is noticed.
2. Reply to giveaway promoters: It’s a good idea to interact with promoters by replying to their Tweets (even if it is not a requirement for a giveaway entry). Tweet a photo, say something funny, or share a GIF to make your Tweet as memorable as possible. Also, try tagging a friend on Twitter.
3. Use a short username on Twitter: Simple and short usernames are a lot more memorable and less likely to be misspelled by a promoter. It’s best to avoid underscores and numbers in your username. Also, ensure your user name does not give away details like your age - remember that promoters are sometimes looking for winners who are of a certain age group. If you don’t have a suitable username, you can always go to your Account Settings and change it.
4. Spruce your profile page: Some promoters check your profile page before deciding if you are winner material, so make sure it looks good. As part of this, we recommend uploading a profile photo and adding an entertaining bio.
5. Follow many local companies: Find and follow as many local shopping centers, bars, restaurants, magazines, and radio stations as you can on Twitter - most of them conduct regular giveaways, which you’ll get to know about as soon as they list their giveaway on Twitter. You can also use Twitter to search for local giveaways and competitions to enter. Just remember that since there are numerous companies hosting giveaways on Twitter, it may take some time for you to find giveaways that you are suitable to enter.
