Tips to Win A GiveAway

Assalamualaikum and hi!

Welcome to my new blog! Made a new one because I lost access to my old one. Sobs. Since I received a lot of requests for giveaway tips. Hence, here I am. Resharing and improvising my old tips. Hope you enjoy reading this and I really hope it works for you (: So, first of all. I'm gonna start with....

How to find a giveaway?

This is basically what I do...if you know any other way, please share in the comment below. 

CO: Contest organizer or you can also call them SPONSOR.

1) Follow contest junkies
I followed all contest junkies yang I pernah jumpa on Facebook or Instagram. And I joined the same contest that they are joining. Oh I also turn on their post notification. Hehe. So that I know bila dorang join new contest.

P/s: Please dont use fake account to follow me because I tend to block that kind of account. I’m just not comfortable of having ghost followers on my instagram. Pleaseeeee follow me using your original account. I would love to know you too (:

2) Search by hashtag
You can also search giveaway through hashtags. For example, just search using these hashtags :  #giveaway #giveawaymalaysia #malaysiagiveaway #iphonegiveaway. Or you can simply look at hashtag on contest junkies' photos. If you find any interesting giveaway, just join the fun (:

How to maximize chances to win?

1. Always read and follow the giveaway rules. Yang ni paling penting hoyy. Kalau tak ikut the rules, boleh disqualified. Kalau ada hashtag kena letak, makesure letak hashtag yang betul. Jangan sesuka hati buat hashtag baru pulak :P
2. Try to enter as many as you can. Ini kalau CO memang sedia ada mention boleh comment/repost banyak. This would increase your chance to win then. Kalau CO tu memang dah clearly mention, “comment only once”. Then,you comment sekali je lah. Jangan pulak memandai konon nak jadi active follower, so you comment banyak banyak. Haaaa. Yang tu a big no okay. You could be disqualified for not following the rules.  
3. Be an active follower. Be active ni means you have to CONSTANTLY LIKE & COMMENT their posts. Yang ni is actually to make yourself to be noticed by the CO/Sponsor. 
4. Be creative. Ini kalau CO tu suruh kita buat CAPTION MENARIK/ upload gambar creative. Haaa. Yang ni try to be as creative as you can. Lagi creative, lagi tinggi chance nak menang. 
5. Take care of your Instagram feed. Means kena banyakkan gambar personal.  Your first 9 photo tu kalau boleh paling banyak pun ada 3 gambar repost giveaway . What I mean by 'gambar repost giveaway' tu is gambar giveaway yang you kena repost (and gambar tu ada tulisan GIVEAWAY besar gabak ). Paling banyak 3 je tau. And makesure gambar tu tak obvious sangat sebab you gotta ensure your profile looks like a normal account, not like an account that is created merely for giveaways. Sebagai contoh: 
   
   
   
   Look at my first 12 photos, you can only see two repost giveaway. Lagi sikit that kind of photo, lagi better 😊 Your chance nak menang lagi tinggi. 
6. Always be active on Instagram. Kena selalu post gambar on instagram. Bukan gambar giveaway tau. Yang I maksudkan is gambar personal. Macam gambar kucing ke, rumah ke, random quote ke. This is just to let ppl know that you are active on Instagram. Kadang kadang CO/Sponsor ni, dia nak winner yang memang active. Winner yang selalu post gambar ootd ke. Haa macam tu. Tapi ada jugak CO yang memang nak cari winner based on active followers je. Yang ni I sebenarnya kurang faham dengan CO ni, bagi lah dekat orang yang actually boleh promote kau punya bisnes. Bukannya dekat orang yang hantu tagging join giveaway je 🤦🏻‍♀️ 
7. Lagi satu, kalau CO tu suruh tag friends. Haa, yang ni janganlah tetiba tag artis pulak. Tak kisah lah if you follow artis tu ke. The thing is that, he/she is not your friend. Tag only YOUR FRIEND OR FAMILY. Lagi satu, dont tag stranger. Lagi lagi kalau kau sendiri tak follow orang tu. Geram tau nak lempang kalau tetiba ada stranger tag. Kau dah kenapa?! 😂 

Common Mistakes in Giveaway

1. Not following rules
2. Lying about eligibility
3. Complaining about prizes
4. Giving up too quickly 
5. Use phony account to enter a giveaway

*Perlu ke explain more on this? haha. Paham paham sendiri eh. Kalau tak paham or ada soalan, boleh tanya kat ruang comment kat bawah (:

What To Do After You Win

1. Thank the blogger and the sponsor if you are the lucky winner! It’s very appreciated by sponsor if you post a little thank you if you’ve won something from them. When you receive your prize, it’s a really nice gesture to use your social media accounts to thank the sponsor. (For example, post a pic to Instagram of you using the item, or write on the sponsor or blogger’s account wall to let them know the prize was received.)
2. Pay it forward. Eh apa pay it forward ni. Kalau kita taknak apa yang kita menang tu, kita bagi lah hadiah tu kat orang lain. You can just give it away to your friend or family member who would love the prize.

P/s: if your prize hasn’t shown up in a reasonable amount of time, it’s okay to politely contact the giveaway host. But make sure to use the right words so you dont look rude or desperate.  

Okay. Sekian dari saya! Semoga bermanfaat. Tolong doakan Hanis Najwa sentiasa dimurahkan rezeki please :)
