Types of competitions
Competitions are divided into two types. The first, where the chances of winning can be increased, but no more. The second, where you can guarantee yourself victory.
Contests in which you can increase your chances of winning, but do not guarantee it
This type includes competitions whose winners are selected using random number generators and similar applications. Often, this is a reposting contest, where you need to join a group and repost a certain post. By and large, the result depends on the luck and honesty of the competition organizers.
Still, there are a couple of ways to increase your chances of winning it:
- Create a copy or copies of your account to get more reposts and therefore increase your chances of winning. Many groups require real names and photos, so fill out your profile using your real information. I advise you not to create a lot of accounts; a few are enough. And repost posts from different accounts at different times, so that the copies do not appear in a row in the list of those who reposted.
- Ask friends and acquaintances to repost so that if they win, they will share what was played in the competition.
Competitions in which you can guarantee yourself victory
Often, these are competitions where you need to get more likes or reposts.
Vivid examples:
- Leave a comment under the post and get more likes for it
- Repost a post and get more reposts/likes on your page than others
- Post a photo and get the most likes for it
You can, of course, copy accounts and ask friends for help, but this will be quite difficult to get at least 50 likes, let alone more. Therefore, another option comes to replace it - the use of special services.
I recommend the site vktarget. On it you can order the required number of reposts and likes (and much more). I like it because of its low prices and large number of performers.
By the way, it is not necessary to deposit money; you can earn it yourself there by liking others and making reposts (and not only on VKontakte).
Using this site you can get the required number of likes or reposts and win the competition. Just keep in mind a few nuances:
- If the rules of the competition prohibit inflating indicators, then do not use special services
- Increase the number of reposts and likes gradually, and not instantly, so as not to be conspicuous
- Spin just enough to win

General Tips
I highlighted a few general tips that are suitable in any case.
Read the terms of the competition
Read the terms and conditions of the competition carefully so that you can use the methods to win to the maximum and not use prohibited ones.
Participate in competitions from trusted groups
There is a lot of deception surrounding the topic of competitions, so be careful. Typically, verified groups have been created a long time ago and (or) they represent a specific site, brand, organization, and so on. I talk about this in more detail in the article on how to find a VKontakte competition.
Analyze your chances of participation and the progress of the competition
There are competitions where there is no way to win, or almost no way. Examples: a repost contest with more than 10,000 participants or a likes contest that ends in a few minutes.
While participating, be sure to follow the progress of the competition. What if someone also uses the tips presented in the article?
Use your experience
You may already have experience participating in or even winning a competition, so use it. And in addition to it, information from this article. You can refer to it as a reference when you participate. And in order not to forget or lose it, I advise you to bookmark it.
How do they make it so that the winner of the drawing becomes a dummy participant?
How often has luck smiled on you? Have you ever won anything? Not a trifle, but some kind of “more expensive” prize?
If the answer is “none,” then luck is not on your side... You are not lucky .
But wait... What does luck have to do with it? 90% of pranks are fake , and now I will prove it.
Because?
Let's look at the example of the most popular service Random.org, which randomly determines the winner's number. Few people know that even in this service you can adjust the desired results, and this is used quite often. How? There are 2 options:
- Recording of a video with the determination of the winner not live . They take a video from the screen and post the results.
In the case of offline determination of the winner, do the following:
- They look at the number of the dummy participant, for example 285.
- Start recording video from the screen.
- Go to Random.org
- Enter the number of participants in the drawing.
- Before clicking the Generate button, pause the video using hot keys on the keyboard and remember where the mouse cursor is.
- Click Generate - get the number of the real winner, and then change this number in the page code to 285.
- They return the cursor to the place where it was before they pressed pause - they press pause - they show that the winner is participant number 285.
I assure you, you won't notice it in the video. I won’t be lazy and write down an example:
Video without sound. You can turn it on 
- The second option for choosing a winner is an online broadcast.
Here it is more difficult to deceive, the risks of being caught are too great.
And to prevent this from happening, 5 years ago “craftsmen” began to write and sell programs that, working in the background, would substitute the required number on random.org. You just need to set them up in advance, before the start of the broadcast.
I didn’t search for and download programs to demonstrate them, since this article can be read not only by good and decent people like you and me. Let them look for themselves. Yes, and it's a long time . But as proof, if it can be considered such, I am attaching a screenshot of a message on one forum. Please note the publication date.
What, now don’t participate in sweepstakes at all?
No, I don’t presume to say that all pranks are dishonest. For example, Wylsacom can afford to give away expensive prizes together with sponsors. Valentin - payment for his work, sponsors - clients/recognition, winners - gifts.
But that's not all. Even people with money can deceive, as recently happened with the owner of the YouTube channel Life Bee. All the facts indicate that the 3,000,000 ruble lottery was a fake, no matter how much Evgeny Gavrilin denies it. If you are interested, there is a video expose on YouTube.
As they say - trust, but verify...
Thank you for attention. Now I’m preparing a large article on the topic: how to find a person by phone number using only social networks and search engines. If you are interested, subscribe to my Telegram channel.
Reasons for taking quizzes
People participate in competitions not only to get a prize.
Competitions on Instagram are very popular among users.
Many people are interested in:
- declare yourself if the condition is the completion of a creative task;
- attract friends to a game that does not require labor;
- get the opportunity to chat with your favorite blogger;
- just try your luck.
Organizers need to hold sweepstakes to attract the target audience, increase subscriber engagement and brand awareness with minimal advertising costs.
How to participate
To repost, you need to click on one of the social network icons (if you are registered in them) on the visual block, which is located at the end of each note, and confirm the publication. The coupon comes automatically.
Next, the login window to your personal account of the ibook.pro online service opens. If you don’t have such an account yet, you can open it in a few seconds.
Then, in the ibook.pro window that opens, you need to provide a link to the social network page where the repost was posted.
Copy the address of this page and paste this link into the “indicate link to repost” column, for example in Facebook. This is done so that the lucky winner of the gift can be contacted.
Results
Why does our community give expensive gifts for simple reposts on social networks?
The answer is obvious. We, aspiring authors, want to popularize, make known and recognizable our blogs and our social project “One Family” as a whole. We are developing our Internet resources and invite members of social networks to share our notes if they deserve it, and in gratitude for their help in developing their blogs, we give a coupon by which you can win a valuable gift.
Valuable gifts are pre-arranged by diary bloggers, so everything is fair and transparent. Everyone has an equal chance of winning; the more coupons, the greater the probability of winning.
I'll end here. If you are interested in this article or have any questions, let’s discuss everything in the comments. I will answer all comments and questions.
Complete a simple registration ( spam protection
) and contact us with any suggestions. Thank you for reading to the end. Good luck in the competition and in all good endeavors.
Types of competitions
Hashtag competitions, giveaways, user-generated content – there are so many different formats. I advise organizers not to be afraid to combine different mechanics to achieve a result that is interesting to the target audience. But the rules should remain simple, and the method of choosing the winner should be transparent and understandable for participants.
Giveaway
Giveaway participants must meet several conditions:
- subscribe to the accounts of the organizer and sponsors (there can be many of them, for example, David Manukyan had 80+ sponsors in his giva, Huseyn Hasanov had 100+),
- like the message about the competition or several recent publications;
- write a comment, tag 3-5 friends.
The winner is determined randomly.
It is much easier to win in a simple draw.
Such simple pranks are often carried out by celebrities. For example, Olga Buzova and several sponsors raffled off a cottage or 1 million rubles, an iPhone 8, 8+ and X, and Morgenstern - his Mercedes, Timati - a Porsche Carrera 911, purchased specifically for the competition.
Prize for action
The format is similar to give.
Prize-for-action sweepstakes differ from Giveaways in that they require more activity from subscribers:
- choose the right facts about a blogger or company from several proposed options;
- answer one or more questions in quiz format;
- post a comment on the topic;
- solve any puzzle;
- tag several friends;
- select a number from a series;
- continue the sentence, etc.
Among those who fulfilled the conditions, the winner is determined by a random number generator.

Choosing the best
Creative competitions attract the most active audience.

Participants may be required to:
- come up with a slogan;
- choose a rhyme;
- take a photo with brand products;
- share ideas on any matter;
- make a video review, etc.
The user is recommended to take part in competitions on topics close to him.
For example, the writer Larisa Parfentyeva, giving away free participation in the course, asked to tell why subscribers want to attend the training, and the UBRD bank made a draw related to the World Cup - you had to post a photo in your favorite yoga pose and tag it with a unique hashtag.
