Instagram Giveaways

[Coretek]

I will say running giveaways was A LOT harder than I thought. the hardest part is gaining customers but it's also a lot to coordinate with sponsors and making sure align properly. If you don't reach predicted results- people will get mad. Biggest piece of advice, do not take payment over PayPal. Paypal doesn't support raffle or giveaway type payments. On my last giveaway, Paypal flagged my account for either someone's description being "giveaway" or just all the money going into the account at one time. Then my account was frozen and I couldn't pay the sponsor and everyone wanted their money back. It was messy so just be careful

I would be interested in finding legit providers / understand what is important to check in order to get good results. Heard a lot of those Loop Giveaways are scams....

Many give-aways were and still are actually scams, as it was a trend for some "greedy" people to create a give away, sell all the followers from it, and then give the prize to one of their friend saying it's the "winner".

I still don't understand people trying to grow via GA, it's like doing a 100% fat bulk (except for social proof, which in that case is good)

exactly. plus the fact that some giveaways even bot their clients when the guarantee gain doesnt hit
