How Do Comment Giveaways Work?

Question

Accepted Answer

Entrants comment on a post to enter, and you pick the winner at random or by judging the comments. Gleam can import comments and draw for you.

In a comment giveaway, people enter by commenting on a specific post on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or YouTube. Some giveaways ask for a particular comment, such as tagging a friend or answering a question.

You choose the winner in one of two ways:

Random: use a comment picker to draw one comment at random.
Judged: pick the most creative or relevant comment against criteria you publish.

In Gleam:

The free Instagram Comment Picker draws from comments on a post. It needs an Instagram Business or Creator account connected through Facebook.
Instagram, Facebook and YouTube comment imports are on the Business Plan and above. You can filter by hashtag or word. By default we import one comment per person.
