Make ...How do you find people to host giveaways? <br /><br />Make a post about it on your blog stating that you are looking for sponsors who would like to give a product away on your blog.<br /><br />Email other peoples sponsors and ask them.<br /><br />Companies like doing giveaways because it drives traffic to their site and puts their name out there.<br /><br />You have to ask for them. Once you have lots of advertising on your blog and have a lot more followers, companies will start contacting you and asking you if you will host a giveaway for them on your blog. But initially when you are just getting up and running you have to ask.<br /><br />Here's the first giveaway I ever did:<br /><br />http://www.houseofhepworths.com/2010/04/04/my-first-giveaway/<br /><br />I make a decor ball and gave it away. I promoted it everywhere. And I insisted that to enter the giveaway each person had to follow me with Google Friend Connect.<br /><br />This brought my following numbers a lot higher (I think I went from like 50 to more than 200 or so. I can't remember).<br /><br />Anyway, how do you promote it?<br /><br />Here are a few sites that have places on their blog to post your weekly giveaways (to bring more traffic to your site):<br /><br />Tip Junkie<br />The SITS girls<br />Someday Crafts (each Thursday)<br /><br />Good luck!Allison @ House of Hepworthshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408425812774322115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474164823972759270.post-66594882080571179072010-10-12T12:06:33.259-04:002010-10-12T12:06:33.259-04:00It's pretty easy.

The one entry I left out and wish I hadn't was to subscribe via email. Make something nice for us to win. :)Ami Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289266095006465060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474164823972759270.post-43306581664685674212010-10-12T10:02:37.970-04:002010-10-12T10:02:37.970-04:00Hi Bella, I recently did my first giveaway (thanks...Hi Bella, I recently did my first giveaway (thanks for entering) and I was a little lost and intimidated so I decided to start close to home and ask personal friends (founders of Ever/After) to be my first one. I actually don't know how you would go about soliciting giveaways for companies that you dont' have a relationship with. Keep me posted on how you decide to move forward. I decided to have the mandatory entry be a facebook like vs a general comment and I did get quite a few add'l facebook followers because of the giveaway. Good luck and thanks for hosting!!!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738667333292837807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474164823972759270.post-28577879730116848442010-10-12T09:16:59.645-04:002010-10-12T09:16:59.645-04:00Bella, you are just the sweetest thing and all tho...Bella, you are just the sweetest thing and all those compliments have made my day!

I don't think it's too difficult for you, just set up a post asking people to comment to win and then use a random number generator (there are some online) to pick a number and whomever's comment matches that number wins. You can even require people to follow your blog in order to enter and double check at the end that the winner does indeed follow. Everyone loves a giveaway so however you choose to do it I'm sure no one will complain!Lina Thomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738524559071985395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474164823972759270.post-29126402595485730532010-10-12T08:10:43.623-04:002010-10-12T08:10:43.623-04:00Thanks so much for the feature!!
