First, the news: Because of recent changes to Facebook's ToS, Rafflecopter now allows you to integrate your Facebook flash giveaways with their app. This means you can select people that perform a duty on your page as entries for your prize drawing. WOW! It negates the need for a third party list randomizer.
If any of you have done a flash giveaway, you know that entries can be missed and, if you get a ton of entries, it's time consuming as hell. Boo! This takes care of that problem and the issue of writing everything down and typing it again, or copy/pasting a zillion things into a form then screenshot, save, upload, announce, etc... I'm sure you get the idea.
Let's get going!
First, open your Facebook page and start a giveaway where folks have to either like the post or perform a task then comment on the post to win.
You'll be required to log in if you haven't already, give Rafflecopter permission to post (as with any app), and if you have more than one page, you'll be asked to choose the page the giveaway appears on. I'll select my Jo Michaels page and move on.
Next, you come to this screen:
Last, you choose the relevant post and scroll to the bottom of the page where you'll see this button:
CLICK IT!
Rafflecopter will return your results in a few moments.
Now how easy was that? Your time is important! Use the tools available to you so life is easier!
If you've never used Rafflecopter before, now's the time to start. I hope this helps you all with your Facebook giveaways in some small way.
Are you excited about this development? What was your biggest problem with giveaways before?
Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
Jo
