What Do I Have to Do to Get People to Enter My Giveaways?

I was just wondering what I have to do to get more people to enter my giveaways. It seems like both times I have done a giveaway I have had to beg people to enter and I am just wondering if there was something I should be doing to get more people to enter. I really want to continue to do giveaways but it is discouraging when very few people enter. I know most people look for the "big ticket" giveaway items but I feel like my giveaways are very easy to enter, especially if you already follow me. I was still hoping to do a giveaway for a Baby K'tan Baby Carrier after my new baby is born but I don't even know if that is something people would want. I need some feedback here. If it just is that you haven't had time to enter any giveaways I certainly understand as I don't really have time either. If you have time, enter HERE now. I am doing this to help out a friend who is just starting her "mommy business" out and I would love it if you readers would check her out. Thanks so much!!!!

  1. You know I have had 3 giveaways and the first and third one didn't have any comments. The second one someone won and then never responded to my e-mails. I always wonder as well "what am I doing wrong?" So if figure out the answer please share it with me too.

  2. Do you have a facebook page linked to your blog? I do and I put on my page everyday about my giveaway and it really helped. Good Luck!

  3. Jackie - There are so many giveaways out there online and I will tell you what keeps me from entering:

    I like to enter where everyone gets only one submission. It doesn't keep me from entering when there are umteen ways to win but it is very time consuming that way. I usually just enter once and call it good.

    Often, I forget if I have entered or not and don't want to spend the time searching comments to find out.

    I think as time goes by more and more and more will enter... just takes time to build your clientele... do you facebook and twitter?
