Promo/Sweepstakes Money Money Tips* (33)
Stackdaddies, whats going on?! Busy I bet, but can you believe its already March? Time stands for no man, so you better be working ya lil asses off!
If you guys got the email from Stacks the other day, you'll notice the shoutout to promo/sweepstakes - the ipad iphone giveaway yada yada shit. They have been a total gravy train for many affiliates, but its not as easy as it was to run before, or is it? 
I have compiled a set of tips I've been emailing my affiliates, some have taken action and have some extreme results ($3000 in UK alone only 3 days later..) So I thought I'd give them to all you Stackahs so you can still milk this money teet.
But first of all, Pro-Tip!
Its important to note that the major English countries are alot more strict on how and what you can run (UK,CA,AU,US) so its always a good idea to have your lander pre-approved so there is no nasty surprises of no payments, but there is serious volume in places like malaysia, singapore, thailand etc which are all VERY lax on what you can run 
Enough dawg, give us dem tippies.
Tip 1. Always use a lander
Call out geo location, carrier and handset, adds a lot of CTR!
Make use of intro and exit pops, can save you thousands of escaping clicks when running volume.
Tip 2. Theme your lander!
Giveaway, Christmas, Easter, Black Friday, Sports, Valentines etc you name it, theme it!
You might them it to being an Android or an OS giveaway, the more real it seems the better. Let them know who and why is running the giveaway. Credibility = MONEY
Tip 3. Show multiple prizes
On your lander show multiple prizes, but only let 1 or 2 be clickable, so it looks like the other prizes have all been taken. Once again, add the credibility to the user, not everyone is as dumb as the 999,999 visitor anymore haha XD
Show an iphone offer and an ipad offer, but maybe let the iMac be unenlightened saying its completely taken or unavailable.
Tip 4. Testimonials
Susie got an ipad, shes fucking stoked. Tom got an iphone, he can now watch porn without his mummy knowing. Claire got an iphone, she can now take topless selfies. You name it, the more real the better, its a recurring them in this post, use it!
The more someone thinks they have "earned" the giveaway, the better! EPC ^
Tip 5. Create a Game or Survey
These are ridiculous to adding money to the bottom line. Ask them 1-3 questions, don't make it stupid easy but in the end make it so everyone wins anyway ! YAY!
I would show you some landers, but hey I'm here to motivate you guys and not make you lazy + these landers have been beaten to death so its wrong to show a dead campaign Try different colour schemes, you'll be surprised as to what works different on different models.
Also, read Jordons latest post on how he makes WAP campaigns profitable, that will be golden with this. Looking for wap offers? Out of experience, neverblue, mundo, f5, mobaff, c2mmobile are full of them!
My personal favourites? UK, AU, SG, MY.
Go nuts my friends, looking forward to seeing many in Amsterdam and my trip is so unplanned so if anyone is looking to buddy another city for a few days let me know!
Question! How far in advance do you pop up themed campaigns?
Bad ass post as always Maynzie. UK, AU, SG have been gold for months.
Don't neglect LATAM!
Would you recommend WEB or WAP for this?
You ever tried this too and got some tips on when to start?
Awesome tips Mayznie! I'm gonna tackle mobile sweepstake (failed previously) again after reading your post. Let's see if I can milk some before it's too late and if I do, hell yeah broooo, I'm gonna drunk you through out our next meet up!

Hi Maynize,
I have noticed that many advertisers do not allow "survey" style now. How about those testimonials? Obviously they are fake. Will the advertisers allow?
Allowing survey style is on an advertiser to advertiser basis. Most will allow it, some wont. Advertisers are also privy to share their own in-house advertorials upon request. Advertisers want to ensure landers are compliant and they'll help publishers do so 100% of the time.
What type of ads is best for sweepstakes? push, banner (a web or apps), dialog...
I like text
+1 for text....works out best. Seen best ROI with txt ads.
There are some legit gold nuggets in this thread.
Nice work, guys.
+2 for text ads.
Higher CTR and conversion rate often for me
text! Thanks Cap!
I asked another.
App-ads or web-ads.
Dialog or push or banner?
Hey buddy, thank you very much for this awesome thread.
Here's a technical question for you if you don't mind
Which kind of script or ninja skills are you using, which are technically compliant with all the devices, to deal with your Q/A process?
I mean, I use a lot of Jquery and I use the hide/show function in my web landers.
Do you use something similar in your mobile landing pages?
I have good friends who help me out
Ok, thanks for your answer
I'll find a way to make this work later and share here my conclusion.
Can someone refer me to good pre sell sweepstakes LPs?
Couldn't find any on Google
Someone had experience with what runs where mobile?
Just need some other peoples examples to get inspiration and new ideas
Thanks

Thanks
"Congratulations you've won a lottery ticket into this weeks draw" etc I'm sure you'll find some if you just scour through some sites like perezhilton.com on your phone
Care to share a few more sites?

One thing I love about mobile is I feel campaigns last longer because people have a much harder time seeing your landers and ads. Maybe I have a landing page shown on PereZ Hilton, but you won't be able to see it unless you're on a specific carrier / operating system.
Mobile really rewards affiliates that innovate and take risks compared to some other niches. Instead of spying and seeing what's working, you have "fresh eyes" and could come up with a killer angle no one's thought of yet.
Yes sir that's one of the best things with mobile...if you are in the US and have a tmobile phone you should be able to view many ads if you check placements/apps.
Mobile is really worth the initial adaptation of learning, lot of good offers out right now too and loads of untapped sources

Are you talking about those $1-$2 giveaway offers?
Is mobile that cheap you can get good ROI from those low offers?
EMail & Zip submits pay low which usually are a waste of time on some social adevrtising networks due to high (CPM/CPC) ad costs.
Time to get into mobile now!
Not necessirally $1-2 payouts, they usually pay a lot more then that but depending on the country, most AU offers pay 10-15 bucks a pop, similar with UK and english speakers. Ask your AM for the sweep offers, they're golden once you get a niche/angle on lockdown
please i try evry things the problem whats have is keywords .im alwys loss money . whats types of keywors can yu advice me ??
This thread is 4 years old. Please check the new ones or start your own, but make sure to ask more specific questions. We are a helpful community but you must ask in the right way.
Sweepstakes are like evergreen trees: it’s always the right season for them 
There’s always someone who’s hoping for a gift
What Maynzie pointed out in this thread is still more than valid (and many years have already past!).
A.D.H.D Summary (I’m borrowing this expression from Mr Green… I read it somewhere and liked it! Btw, in my opinion a.d.h.d is not a medical condition, but just an attitude, a state of being!)
1 - Use Landers —> You have to captivate the user’s attention and interest with everything you can
2 - Make the offer look plausible —> Multiple prizes and testimonials are your friends.
3 - Create interactions —> You need to “force” user to take action: do take advantages of games (“fortune wheels” for example) or surveys (make them plausible to maximize efficiency).
A.I.D.A Flow
ATTENTION is captured by your banners (be creative!)
INTEREST is stimulated by your landing page
DESIRE is moved by the prize
ACTION is encouraged by games and surveys
There are no secret formulas… but there are golden skills!
As always, the power of testing is one of the strongest asset of an Affiliate Marketer.
Test and find your winner(s)!
…and as advised from Maynzie:
