In reply to Stonewall. Hey Stonewall, Most giveaway software will give additional entries for those who share your giveaway and get their friends to sign up. So, sending the giveaway to your newsletter is an excellent way to get your subscribers to start promoting it for you. Your subscribers will boost their chances of winning and your giveaway will spread to a larger audience.

In reply to Stonewall. Well, they could win - so that's a benefit ;). Although if you run them regularly, you might start to annoy your list with frequent giveaways. Just have to mix in a lot of value emails as well.

If you’re still monitoring this: I’m curious about sending a contest to your email list (i.e.) those who have already subscribed. If the intent is to get new subscribers, how does the contest benefit them? Do you allow them to enter the contest? If so, how? I use a CRM that tags subscribers rather than put them in separate lists so as to avoid duplication. If the those already subscribed enter the contest, how does Gleam account for them? (Note: I’m all for it, i just don’t understand the mechanics.) Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words! I’m sorry about the video – I must have deleted that YouTube channel when I was doing a big shift. I don’t have a copy of it, but am happy to answer any questions that you have!
