How to Get Free Giveaways for Your Blog

How to Get Free Giveaways for Your Blog

 this is  free giveaway on my blog. 

Offering giveaways, prizes, and free stuff on your blog is a great way to build your readership, get traffic, and increase your revenue on pay per click or pay per action programs. Learn how to get items to give away on your blog and watch your traffic rise.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1

Contact the manufacturer. Explain that you would like to hold a giveaway of their product on your blog. Many companies want the exposure to consumers your blog can offer - you are giving them free advertising.

2

Ask for gift cards at major retailers. Stores like Walmart, Target, and Publix have a budget for community events such as contests and charity functions. Explain that you want to hold a giveaway on your blog and would like to offer a gift card from their store as the prize. (Be sure to provide your blog address or business card so the manager can verify.)

3

Ask for free merchandise. Just like in step 2, the decision is up to the store manager. Check low price stores like Walmart, Target, and members clubs like Sams, Costco, and BJs. You will be amazed at what you get for free if you just ask.

4

Give away coupons. I have set up a network of people from whom I collect unwanted Sunday newspaper coupon inserts. I batch these together and give them away on my blog. The coupon giveaways can save consumers hundreds of dollars. Frugal moms love my coupon giveaways and visit my blog in droves to enter. Grocery coupons can be obtained free from your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family. Give them away to people who want and need them!

Sign up for free samples online. Combining free samples into one gift pack makes a great giveaway. Some of the free samples are almost full size items. Baby product are great - Aveeno lotions, Huggies Diapers, Playtex bottles, and Nuk pacifiers. See the resources section below for sites where you can get free stuff.

This one is not free, but really inexpensive. Check thrift stores. You can find all kinds of items new in the box, new in the package, or new with tags to give away. I have found brand new items such as Yankee candles, Hallmark ornaments, Ralph Lauren clothing, Black and Decker tools, and Pottery Barn children's items for just a few dollars at thrift stores. You can also find these types of items at garage sales.

Get free gift cards at Swagbucks. It is free to use, and I use this method to accumulate points which I then redeem for merchandise and gift cards I can give away! See the resources section for more info.
