Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Make participation feel effortless — if it takes more than 2 minutes to create and post, submissions drop dramatically
  • 💡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
