- 💡Feature user content quickly (within 24 hours) — the dopamine hit of being reposted is often more motivating than prizes
- 💡Always get explicit rights to repurpose content in ads; include this in your contest terms upfront
- 💡Seed the campaign with 5-10 pieces from your own team or micro-influencers before launching publicly
