I always want to enter the giveaway ads that are appealing to me on Instagram but don't know how to go about entering it.
Help me please. TIA

The instructions are usually posted. Just like the giveaway post. Follow the necessary accounts. Tag the required number of people

Who do you tag? Do they get annoyed?

I tag my other giveaway accounts, DH, and two of my SIL’s accounts which are specifically for giveaways. I’m against tagging people without their permission, so no, they don’t get annoyed.

I think giveaways speak against using your 'alternate giveaway' acct and tagging yourself. do you feel bad doing so and winning?

Oh! So that's how you do it.
I don't really know anyone on Instagram who I'm close enough to tag without being considered socially off. So I only enter giveaways that didn't require tagging. Never thought of tagging myself in a fake account

Yes maybe ask them if they’re ok with you doing that. I would feel really bad taking a prize when I didn’t enter the way I was supposed to.

Why did the photographer refuse to honor the prize?

I hate these giveaways and I hate being tagged.

Really? I hadn’t heard that. I know a few people who are influencers and they all know I’ve been entering giveaways this way and no one said anything about it

To be fair, they’re not really fake accounts. One is an account that I created with the intention of going into business but I lost interest in said business. The other account is my first IG account through which I still keep in touch with Sem friends. These accounts all existed previously but their primary purpose these days are for giveaways

I can certainly ask. Never knew it was a thing not to be able to use alternate accounts

She did the giveaway to gain followers. Once that was achieved, she had no interest in wasting her time on a freebie. It took a while and a lot of money (prepping for the photoshoot) until I realized that she had no intention of honoring it. Found out later she did it to others as well

😳 sounds like something that anyone participating in a contest with her should be made aware of.

No, it's not worth giving up hours of your time on social media so that you might have a chance of winning a few snoods or a photography session that was really not being given to you. Or even donuts or a culinary course. Your time is worth more than the chance to possibly win some of those things.

Thanks, this is what I thought. I appreciate your honesty!
