What Should I Comment to Win a Giveaway?

Most comment giveaways pick winners at random, so a clever comment doesn't raise your odds. What matters is that your comment counts. Read the post twice, then do exactly what it asks.

• Answer the question in your own words if the brand has asked one. Judged giveaways reward originality, so be specific and short.
• Tag real friends only if the rules ask for tags, and tag different people each time.
• Add the hashtag or keyword if one is required. Brands filter comments by it.
• Comment once unless the rules allow more. Repeated comments can get filtered out.
• Check the closing date and when the winner will be announced.

If the brand runs the giveaway with Gleam, the post may send you to an entry form. Complete the extra actions there, because those entries count separately from your comment. Brands on the Business Plan and above can import the comments and filter them by hashtag or word, so a comment without the required hashtag may not make it into the draw.
