Once your Giveaway is live...

You can login to KingSumo to see how it's all going!!

1. Dashboard - Login and view the dashboard for an overview of your giveaways.
2. Number of Contestants - This is the number of email addresses you have collected on your giveaway
3. Entries - This is an indication of your giveaway reach.
1. The more contestants share your giveaway through social media, email etc, or complete actions (like visit your website or like your Facebook page) the more entries they earn. This helps your giveaways go VIRAL
4. View Contestants - here you can view who your most 'social' contestants are, how many additional entries individual contestants have earned. You can also download all the email addresses here into a CSV file.
5. View your Live Giveaway - This will open your actual giveaway in a new window - and you can copy and share the URL from here.

Final thoughts:

• Don't forget to complete the prize draw and notify the winner!
• I recommend you make a diary note of the competition closing date to make sure you don't forget

• Export contestant email addresses into your email list (if not already integrated)

• The end of the competition is another opportunity to engage with your contestants, to:
• Let them know the prize has been drawn and who won
• Remind them who you are and what you do
• Tell them about a future giveaway
• Offer a consolation freebie for their participation - eg: similar product or prize at a discounted rate, or something else that may appeal to your readers

• Your prize doesn't need to be expensive to attract entries!

My giveaways are proof of this:

• My least expensive prize is a $30 Amazon gift voucher, and it's already attracted over 130 entries.
• My most expensive prize which is an $1800 website design package has only attracted 3 entries.
  

I hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial and it's given you some ideas about how to create giveaways to build an email list or social following for your niche.
