FAQ

How to do a giveaway on Instagram?
Running an Instagram giveaway with Socialman is simple and effective. Start by creating a free Socialman account, then open your dashboard and select the Instagram giveaway template. Add your giveaway details — prize, duration, and entry requirements such as following your account, viewing a post or reel, or leaving a comment.
Socialman’s Instagram giveaway tool automates entry tracking and winner selection, helping you grow engagement and followers effortlessly.
-
How to pick a winner on an Instagram giveaway?
With Socialman, picking a winner for your Instagram giveaway is easy and flexible. Once your contest ends, simply click 'Choose a winner' in your dashboard.
Using random selection, Socialman automatically picks a winner from all verified participants who completed your chosen actions — like following your account, commenting, or tagging friends. This ensures your Instagram contest remains fair, transparent, and trustworthy.
Alternatively, you can choose a winner manually if your giveaway is based on merit — for example, the creativity of a photo, quality of a caption, or originality of a comment. This option gives you full control over contests that focus on creativity or engagement.
-
How to legally do a giveaway on Instagram?
To legally run a giveaway on Instagram, you must follow Instagram’s promotion guidelines. This means your contest must be free to enter, have clear rules, and not require participants to tag unrelated people or falsely associate your giveaway with Instagram.
Socialman helps you stay compliant by providing transparent entry tracking and ensuring that all participant data is handled fairly and securely.
-
How long should an Instagram giveaway last?
The ideal Instagram giveaway duration depends on your goals. Most successful Instagram contests last between 5 to 14 days — long enough to build engagement but short enough to keep momentum high.
Short giveaways (1–3 days) work best for flash promotions or product launches, while longer ones (up to 2 weeks) are great for maximizing reach and follower growth.
With Socialman, you can easily schedule start and end dates for your campaign and let the platform handle everything automatically.
-
Can I combine my Instagram giveaway with other social media platforms?
Yes! Socialman is a multi-platform giveaway tool, so you can run the same contest across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, and more.
You can include entry requirements from multiple platforms — for example, following your Instagram account, viewing a video on TikTok, subscribing on YouTube, or following a Twitter/X profile — all in one unified Socialman campaign.
This approach helps you grow your audience across several channels while keeping contest management simple and automated.
