What Makes a Twitter Giveaway Entry Rule Effective?
Keep it short and checkable: one or two actions people already understand, a plain line on how winners are picked, and full terms they can read.
- Pick one or two X Actions: Follow on X, Repost on X, Post on X, Post with # on X, View a Post on X or X Entry (logging in with X). Every extra action is one more reason to give up halfway.
- Say how winners are chosen. "Random draw on 30 November" beats "we'll pick our favourites", unless you're judging and publish the criteria.
- Publish eligibility, entry dates and prize details. Gleam generates Terms & Conditions for every Competition, and you can write your own on the Hobby Plan & above.
Note
Every X Action makes the entrant log in with X, so you know the account is theirs. We can't confirm the follow or repost actually happened, so check your winners by hand before you announce them. On the Business Plan & above you can also block throwaway accounts.
