Instagram is one of the fastest-growing social media platforms and yet, it isn’t that popular with people who aim to win sweeps. Thus, sweeps on the platform may not get that many entries. So, if you’ve got an eye on the prize, being active on Instagram could help you win big. Here are some tips to do just that.
Take pictures of everything
Don’t just regram stuff. People who win sweeps regularly take their own original photos and post them on the app. Make it a habit to take pictures of everything — be it sunsets or selfies — because you really never know when you’re going to need it. And if your photo is looking too dull, add filters! Then, wait for the right sweep to participate in.
Take inspiration from the pros
To win sweeps on Instagram, good pictures matter. So learn from professional photographers who showcase their work on the medium and see if you can work on your entries along similar lines. You can browse hashtags such as #flatlay, #travel, or #instafood.
Follow sweepstakes pros to find sweeps
With so much information on Instagram, finding sweeps can be overwhelming. But a quick way to get there is by following sweepstakes pros who use Instagram. All you need to do is click on sweepstakes-related hashtags and find entries. Then, click on the profile, follow them and sign up for push notifications so you know when they post. Additionally, don’t forget to view their stories.
Have a good-looking profile
Before selecting you as the winner, an organizer might check your profile on Instagram. Hence, ensure it looks good by adding an interesting bio and uploading a suitable picture. You will need to have some original content on your profile and not just regrams; the latter must be used sparingly. Pinning story highlights across the top of your profile with non-competition-related pictures like travel or food photos, for example, can also attract sweeps organizers.
