I hope you know have all the tools you need to easily pick a winner for your Instagram giveaway. If you found this video helpful, be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, & COMMENT because it really helps to support me and my channel! Thanks for watching! 🎉
Thanks for the mention of our tool and the suggestion to add extra entries! :D We just wanted to tell that we added a new option where you can add extra entries to your giveaway and also created a how-to video of the Instagram Comment Picker: ua-cam.com/video/6CYlbP_D__U/v-deo.html
YOU SAVED MY LIFE. Okay I'm being a little dramatic. I thought it was going to be MUCH easier and have been struggling for an hour trying to load all my comments to then copy them into spreadsheet lol Thank you for this video. You are amazing!
Can't believe this was made just a few days ago! I just ran a contest yesterday that had over 2,500 entries and was looking to pay for an app or program that handles this. So glad I found this! Great content and very well explained. Thanks!
Yay! I'm so glad you found it (and that I made the video in the nick of time). I really felt there wasn't a great video that showed all your FREE options (and showed multiples ways to pick a winner because people like options). This comment made my day!
This is exactly the info I needed, I did bonus opportunities for story shares, reposts and following a sponsored account so the spreadsheet export is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏻
I actually had 5.149 comments at my last giveaway, and I barely reached 5K people... so as unexpected as it was, this was such a helpful video. Thank You 😂👌🏼
Holy 12,000 entries, Batman! HAHA YAY! thank you for this video! Im literally doing a giveaway now for getting 300 followers on my craft page. I think the comment picker one will be the best for me, BUT a lot of the people who commented are family and friends so hopefully no one thinks that cheating!
When our accounts are smaller, a lot of our followers are friends and family at first. I wouldn't feel bad if one of them gets picked. Just record your screen when you pick the winner so that they know you did it fairy and didn't just pick your friends. :)
It took me less than 24 hours!! Thank you 🙇♀️😊 I think it's because I followed what you said. I was actually worried because I sent them two other screenshots previously for other matters which I didn't get replies from them. Thought I would annoy them by sending another one!! But haha yes it worked. Much gratitude to you 😊😊
I normally don’t comment on UA-cam. But I had to subscribe like and comment on this post because it was so helpful. It was clear concise thoughtful and detailed.
Thank you for the video. Anyone else has the same issue with comment picker? I noticed that even though there should have been 23 comments (excluding duplicates), comment picker recognises only 19 of them. Why is that? Those 4 comments have tagged one person as they should have done. In comment picker I ticked the boxe of "exclude duplicates" and chose mimimum amount of @ as "1"
There was a competition on a channel a few days ago. The first correct answer wins the prize. I was the first to answer correct. The channel owner replied to my answer around 4-5 hours later in the comments section. Asking if I was from his country. Later that day I went and checked if I had won. I saw his comment re if I was from his country to which I replied yes. I did find the comment weird as he could have just clicked on my channel to check where I was from. However a few comments down another person had answered correctly but a few hours after my correct answer. The channel owner immediately had responded to his comment and said he was the winner and to send address details. He didnt ask him if he was from the same country as him. I found this to be extremely unfair and I replied to his comment advising that what he did was unfair and was not honuring a fair competition policy. He didn't even bother replying back to me. Instead he listed the other guy as the winner.
This video is so helpful, I have just done my first contest and did not at all think about how I was going to pick the winner, Thankyou for explaining it so easily, great video!!

This was really helpful thank you, I’m running a competition across two accounts and couldn’t work out how to add comments from both posts, so being able to download to a spreadsheet and then use a random number generator is perfect! Thanks for saving me a chunk of time!
First of all, Thank you for the info, Second, as a Creator myself,I can tell how much time you put into editing your videos and for that I also say thank you 🙏 I wish your channel the growth in deserves.
Hi there, Thank you so much for the video. Just would like to ask a question, If we use the getcombot website. If people tag or reply to their comment, will this be downloaded as well or can we filter it out? Thank you
Hey I like to watch your videos. They are not just helpful but you are entertaining too 😊. Do more of giveaways, raffles, contests videos. I'd say pour all you got 😁.
Thank you for your kind words! I am on TikTok (@morganstradling), though I haven't done much there because I've been focusing on UA-cam. I need to create some more vidoes on there (my current ones are all over the place).
This is the second one of your videos I watched tonight, I just subscribed. Thank you so much! I'm going to be running my first giveaway and you really helped make it simple. Your tips were spot on!

Also, see if you can make videos about instagram story challenges. You know, taking screenshots, scribble your stuff on it, then tag x friends and post along with the blank template for them.... That kind of challenges. How brands can implement it? Are there any types that we can bifurcate them into? Few case studies.. etc Looking forward to any such content on your UA-cam (or even IG, I'm following you there too) 😊✌️
OH! This is a great idea! I've done a few of these for one of my Instagram accounts and they are very popular! I'm adding this to my list! Thanks for the support!
Hi Morgan, this was awesome, but what if your winner is based on the amount of tag entries they submit? Is there something that adds the amount of entries our participants tag?
Where I am confused is when I advertise for the raffle. I share that post for the raffle in different groups. Does that mess any of those tools up? (Facebook) How do I advertise best for my raffles to get a large turn around.? I had people then comment on all those different shared posts instead of the one original one 😅
hey, great video was just wondering though how does this affect people who @ their friends separately in comments but it’s only the same people, is it one entry per @ or do you get multiple entries for tagging the same person a lot of times
Thanks for this video, going to be testing out comment picker for my giveaway. I had several people entering more than one comment tagging one friend in each, as I didn't specify regarding this is my giveaway, should I let they have more than one "ticket" to win? Or filter out duplicates?
I love this video and the information you provided! My question is what if you don’t have a laptop 💻 or desktop computer? Is it possible to use a random number generator on an iPhone?
Yes, it is absolutely possible to use the random number generator on the phone. It just might take a lot more work, especially if you're having to manual import/create a list of winners. But still definitely possible.
Morgan Stradling Thank you 🙏🏾 for your response! Would I have to use the same website(s) you showed us or are there any specific apps especially for smartphones you know of?
Hello, is there any way to pick a winner just by followers, I mean no matter if they leave the comment or not. I have made a giveaway just to following my instagram and I've asked a target to pick a winner.
hi there, thank you for the video, but how can I pick a winner if I want people to post an image on their ig and tag me as 1 entry? thank you, i will wait for your response.
I might be confused but isn't this the video you deleted? Or at least I thought you said you deleted it in your most recent video. I am probably just miss understanding.
It's up to you. People might thing you are just choosing your friends, that's why I recommend recording when the picker picks so that way people can have full transparency. If you don't feel good about it (even though you obviously were fair), I'd just pick another.
I've started making a giveaway page on ig. And already dm hundreds of people specially small businesses, but so far i can't find any sponsors, what's the best way to find ? I also tried tried running ads but no luck.

Yes I do! My undergrad and MBA was in marketing and I worked in corporate America doing product management and marketing for 6.5 years! I'm obsessed with marketing and just couldn't get away from it. :)
@@MorganStradling that's amazing! I have a MBA in the same field and I'm doing restaurant management and recently started on social media marketing for the restaurant lol I didn't dive in straight to marketing after graduating so I miss it so much 😭
what if one of the rule was to like and comment my fellow participants in a hop? I assume they would have to give the their list so that I can past it in excel?
quick question: do you mess with the random generator if you are replying to comment entries? Should we refrain from commenting until after the giveaway ends?

So useful! How would you filter location? I mean, I can only ship for free in my own country, but I don't know how to apply a filter so as not to announce a winner that lives elsewhere and didn´t consider the distance issue..thank you!!
You wouldn't be able to filter by location. You'd just have to specify in your rules that it is for X country only, then pick a winner and verify that they are in the country via DM before announcing. If they are not, select another winner.

Hi Morgan, this was awesome, but what if your winner is based on the amount of tag entries they submit? Is there something that adds the amount of entries our participants tag?
Where did Morgan go? Why did she stop making video's?
How do you add extra entries for story shares??
Thank you so much for your research and informative video. You cut my time tenfold!!!
What if I am doing a combined giveaway with another account?
Business accounts don't let you have music, so that's something to think about.
now its fixed, you can put music on business accounts stories
Best free program ever hun! Thank you so much for sharing this~
Amazing video!. But this website is asking for a credit card number ?
This was very helpful! Any tips on choosing a winner when you have multiple posts? Like one post per brand from a giveaway with multiple brands?
You would have to pull the entries and combine to one spreadsheet. Then pick a winner from there. Hope that helps!
@@MorganStradling Thank you for your response! Yes, that does help!
How would you suggest picking a winner if there’s multiple people as part of the giveaway
The last method works for me!!! Thanks a lot!! Really helpful!!! 👍👍👍
if you commented many,will it be higher chance for winning the giveaway?
I have always used this, however just a heads up this doesn’t work with Instagram reels ( comment picker) ONLY posts so be aware
But how do you do it on live
Where I am confused is when I advertise for the raffle. I share that post for the raffle in different groups. Does that mess any of those tools up? (Facebook)
How do I advertise best for my raffles to get a large turn around.? I had people then comment on all those different shared posts instead of the one original one 😅
Is it legid to make an giveaway? Should we pay somewhere before the giveaway or not?
Use full video for many people
Thanks for this video
Thank you been trying to do this all day!
THANK YOU MORGAN! So helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video and the explanation. It was very clear and easy. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!
This video was so helpful. Thank you!
Do more comments mean more chances of being picked esp if giveaway is not about tagging but just done or so ? J have seen that on many insta giveaways
thank you for making this video! it was super helpful, i really appreciate the time you spent going into this c:
love your lighting, you look so video btw. thanks for this video. You got my subscription
I have a question.does this method works for the pages that do their lotteries by machines and systems?
you are the best!!!!! you save my life!!! regards from Panamá!!!
You saved my life! Haha thanks for this info. 🙌🏻🎉
What if you want to exclude some entries? Like people that are just commenting to help you out but don't necessarily want to actually enter
hey, great video was just wondering though how does this affect people who @ their friends separately in comments but it’s only the same people, is it one entry per @ or do you get multiple entries for tagging the same person a lot of times
Nice solutions, thanks a lot
I also suggest app-sorteos for giveaways with few comments (under a thousand)
Thank you!!!! It worked perfectly for my giveaway!!!!
Can you run the same giveaway on two different social media platforms (Facebook & Instagram) at the same time?
Thank you so much. I’ll do a giveaway next week. Everything is set up and I just wanted to know the best way to pick a Winner.
Many thanks for this video. Very helpful & useful.
Would you recommend a random number generator as well for giveaways where we direct them to sign up for an email list?
Thank you soo much for your video, I will test it today 😍
I’m going to do a giveaway for a MacBook Air on UA-cam.. thanks for the video! I want to be fair about it, and this was very helpful!

If there’s only a few comments (40-60) entering a giveaway, do you think limiting the # of entries is better? (Maybe 1-2 entries?)
What if you are participating and your IG page is private? Does it affect your chances?

You go through a magical portal
