Love scrolling through your Instagram feed? Why not use the popular social media networking platform to win sweepstakes? Many people are unaware of how to enter Instagram sweepstakes to win fun prizes. That’s why we’ve put together some important tips and tricks to help you become an Instagram sweepstakes ace. Read on!
1. Find sweepstakes: This may seem obvious, but to find the best sweepstakes, you need to search for keywords like “Sweepstakes,” “Giveaway,” etc., on Instagram. Check the “RECENT” and “TOP” tab to find the sweepstakes that suit your preferences. Another great way to find sweepstakes is by following independent businesses (especially the ones you frequent or like). That way, you’ll know as soon as they put out a sweepstakes post.
2. Check the competition details: Make sure to read all the rules to know what is required of you. It’s also important that you check how many entries you are allowed to make. Some sweepstakes will allow you additional entries for performing tasks like referring your friends, sharing a video on your social media account, etc. Be aware of all the terms and conditions before you submit your entry. Remember that the sweepstakes sponsor is receiving hundreds of entries. So double-check the rules and make sure you follow them.
3. Enter near the closing date: One of the best (and easiest ways) to ensure that your entry catches the attention of the company running the sweepstakes is by submitting it as close to the end date of the giveaway as possible. That way you can also check how many people have entered the sweepstakes before you.
4. Make your Instagram account public: Many sweepstakes sponsors will require you to post a photo or share your entry on your profile. But if your Instagram profile is private, the company won’t be able to verify your entry and may end up disqualifying you.
