How to monetize a sweepstakes?

I have a site where i do weekly giveaways/sweepstakes. This is used to generate visits. I encourage them to share via social media and have a referral system. More shares = more entrees.

The way the site is monetized if via adsense. The problem is that the pages with the actual giveaway have few ads as there is little content. Most people just want to visit and enter.. which is fine.

The benefit is that they are willing do to actions... they tweet, refer, share, follow.. whatever. but they do not visit much more of the site.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to monetize this. I could monetize actions. like download this app for free and get X amount of points.

I currently havent been able to find a good way to do this.

It will work well as long as there are not too many steps.

For instance, I would not want to have them do surveys as this is too time consuming and they wont bother..

I wont use email drops as I am collecting their emails and most of these drops will spam them to death, making contacting them more difficult in the future.

So far i was thinking i could do paid RTs, FB shares, pins or something else like that. Meaning, i would find a legit company (nothing shady or that will spam) and they would pay me for interactions made by my traffic. The benefit is that they are real people and have real social accounts.

Anyway, if anyone wants to share a few ideas with me, it would be appreciated.

You can use affiliate network and subscribe to sweepstake offers. Use a plugin that to have access to the sweepstake people have to share the offer before

The problem with that is that other sweep offers are my direct competition. So i would just be promoting another company in the same niche as mine.

Ogads have a mobile rewards section where people have to complete x number of offer to have the rewards..

with ogads, cpabuild and other you can create your own content locker. That way you can choose whats the minimum payout for each one etc

I checked OG ads. They don't have any offers that dont cap daily. Also I wouldnt be using another content locker. It would just be an offer in the app i already use.
