Loopgiveaways, how effective are those for your Insta account?
A while ago i recieved several invites for a loop giveaway.
For those who don’t know what this is:
a giveaway organised by (Insta)bloggers.
If you participate as a blogger your
part of a sort of “chain reaction”.
When i was young this was ‘a thing’
(Dutch: kettingbrief) on paper,
i wrote a letter to someone and the other one needed to write
something to someone else and so long.
Now it’s a trend online where you share
a box full of goodies for your (future) followers.
The only thing they need to do is follow the instructions and
violá they are having a chance to win this goodybag!
Why is this so popular amongst bloggers right now?
The first results showing you will reach more people and will gain more followers.
Then again of course to get this attention,
most loopgiveaways aren’t for free.
As a blogger you need to pay for joining this group.
It depends on what kind of goodybag it is and
how many bloggers are participating.
So you pay, you post and wait….that’s it.
The only question is,
is it wrong to say it’s an other way for buying followers?
And how long will your ‘new’ followers stick to your account?
Eventually you don’t want them to unfollow you
the moment the giveaway has ended.
Loopgiveaway?
That’s why i accepted an invite and
just wanted to know If it was effective for my Insta.
It was a group of bloggers which all have a huge amount of followers
(i’m not sure, but i think it’s one of the conditions to participate).
Just to be clear for this loopgiveaway
i didn’t pay anything to join this loopgiveaway.
One of the bloggers added me to a whatsapp group
where we could share the updates and instructions.
The key is to post exactly at the same time
(Instagram algorithm) and you need to be active,
so you really need to work for it!
Result?
The result for my Instagram was in 3 days: +5000 followers!!
I started at 45.250 and ended at 50.130.
Normally it’ll take 2-3 weeks to get this amount of newbies.
Of course i’ve already lost many of them,
but still it is a marvelous instrument for my reach.
Except the increase of followers my account exposure doubled as well.
Unique accounts and the amount of views!!
I can say, i might will join an other loopgiveaway very soon ;).
Note: you don’t want to do this every day,
because you still want to have an interesting account.
That’s it for now and don’t forget to follow me ;)! @esmeraldaattema
