FAQ

• How to do a giveaway on YouTube?

  Running a YouTube giveaway with Socialman is simple and effective. Start by signing up for a free Socialman account, then select the YouTube giveaway template in your dashboard.

  Customize your contest by adding prize details, entry requirements, and duration. Entry actions can include visiting and subscribing to your channel, watching a video, or submitting a video.

  Socialman’s YouTube giveaway tool automates tracking, making it easy to manage entries and engage your audience without extra effort.

• Is it legal to do giveaways on YouTube?

  Yes, giveaways are allowed on YouTube as long as you follow YouTube’s guidelines. This means your contest must be fair, free to enter, and clearly explain the rules. Avoid misleading participants or requiring spammy actions like tagging unrelated users excessively.

  Socialman helps ensure compliance by tracking valid entries and selecting winners transparently, keeping your YouTube contest trustworthy.

• How to pick a winner for a giveaway on YouTube?

  With Socialman, picking a YouTube giveaway winner is easy and flexible. Once your contest ends, simply click 'Choose a winner' in your dashboard.

  Using random selection, Socialman automatically selects a winner from all participants who completed the required actions — such as subscribing, liking, or commenting. This ensures your contest is fair, transparent, and trustworthy.

  Alternatively, you can choose a winner manually if your giveaway is based on merit, such as the creativity of a comment, quality of a video response, or originality of a submission. This gives you full control over contests focused on engagement or creativity.

• How long should a YouTube giveaway last?

  The ideal YouTube giveaway duration depends on your goals. Most successful contests run between 5 and 14 days — long enough to build engagement, but short enough to maintain excitement.

  Short giveaways (1–3 days) work well for quick promotions or special events, while longer ones (up to 2 weeks) help maximize reach and subscriber growth. Socialman allows you to schedule start and end times, so the process is fully automated.

• Can I combine my YouTube giveaway with other social media platforms?

  Yes! Socialman is a multi-platform giveaway tool, letting you run a single contest across YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Kick, and more.

  You can create entry requirements across platforms — for example, subscribing on YouTube, following on Twitter, or joining your Discord server — all in one campaign. This helps you grow audiences on multiple channels while keeping contest management simple and automated.

• Can I cross-promote multiple YouTube accounts in one giveaway?

  Yes! Socialman allows you to promote multiple YouTube channels within a single giveaway. This is perfect for collaborations between creators, brands, or sponsors.

  You can set entry requirements that ask participants to subscribe to several channels or engage with content across multiple accounts. This helps all involved channels grow their audience while running a single, unified giveaway campaign.
